    This stuff is fantastic, and way tastier than any I've had from the store. I love a serving of it in greek yogurt with a little stevia and vanilla to sweeten the yogurt without added calories. It is one of the few breakfasts that leaves me satisfied all the way till lunch. - 10/12/09

    This is fabulous. I heated the oil with the honey, salt, used brown sugar splenda and put that in with the oil. Put 1/4 cup over some greek yogurt sweetened with truvia, vanilla and almond. I am in heaven. Will have this 224 calorie breakfast often! - 1/23/10
