I have them every morning! Very healthy and very tasty
Talk to me about Grape Nuts, lol. I've been wanting to try them because it looks good but they are a little on the higher calorie side. My favorite cereal is Fiber One original.
Are Grape Nuts filling and keep you full for a while?
No doubt man! Ask and you shall receive the great grape nut knowledge.
Paired with some fruits like blueberries and my personal choice of unsweetened oat milk, it's quite healthy, tasty and filling to enjoy each morning. Most important however though are the nutritional benefits. I sound like a robotic advertisement right now lol but I find all this stuff quite interesting.
In a box of grape nuts there are 10 specified servings, each serving one 1/2 cup. One serving has 200 calories, 7g of fiber (1g soluble, 6g insoluble), 6g of protein and a small amount of sugar (5g, no added sugars). There is a small amount of polyunsaturated fat (healthy fat) and no unhealthy fats. The milk I drink also has monounsaturated fat (healthy fat) and no unhealthy fats, as well as no sugars and a good amount of calcium and vitamins. Speaking of vitamins/minerals, one serving of grape nuts is 90% of your daily iron, 80% vitamin b6, 40% thiamin, 90% folate (folic acid), 30% zinc, 10% magnesium, 20% phosphorus, 45% niacin, as well as a small amount of potassium and riboflavin.
A quick google of Fiber One Original shows one 1/2 cup to contain 60 calories, a small amount of polyunsaturated fat (healthy fat) and no unhealthy fats, 14 grams of fiber (1g soluble and 13g insoluble), no sugar and 2g of protein. Of the vitamins/minerals it shares with grape nuts, it has 25% of your daily iron, 25% vitamin b6, 25% thiamin, 25% folate (folic acid), 25% zinc, 4% magnesium, 6% phosphorus as well as 25% niacin. All of these are substantially lower than what grape nuts offers in the same serving size. However, Fiber One Original also offers 10% vitamin c, 10% calcium, 25% riboflavin, 25% vitamin b12, as well as more than twice the amount of insoluble fiber and no sugar, whereas Grape Nuts has 5g of sugar.
I think there would be benefits to both cereals, or even mixing them, however I would personally go with grape nuts due to my own body's digestion and needs. I already have a fiber-rich diet so I think it would be too much fiber for me to eat fiber one and not enough calories. Plus the milk I drink provides most of the vitamins that fiber one cereal does and in superior amounts (100% vitamin b12 and 35% calcium for instance).
Personally, I eat quite a plain diet with very minimal sugar so my taste buds don't require a lot to derive enjoyment from food. I know other people have different preferences with their food. If you try grape nuts and don't like them as much, I would recommend mixing another cereal with grape nuts in order to reap the benefits whilst improving the taste/texture to cater your needs, but honestly for me, it's perfect as is. The milk and fruit yield enough flavor enhancement and the grape nuts are dense, filling and go a LONG way. For me, a box would last generally around 10 days, just as the serving size dictates.
And that concludes my robotic talk... about the grape nuts
Well I finally tried Grape Nuts yesterday and I love it! I added water to it, nuked it in the microwave for a few seconds so it absorbed it and got mushy, then topped it with monk fruit sweetener (yes, I'm a little odd sometimes, lol). It was great! I'm adding it to my rotations. And although a serving looks pretty small in the cup, you're right it is indeed filling.
I’ve never tried them warm! I’ll have to.1 -
Been loving these meatless crumbles. I prefer to regular ground turkey or chicken. I like that it isn’t oily at all and prefer the texture. It’s so easy to make too I
mix with hot water, let sit for a few minutes and ready to go. Already is seasoned.

Nope! That is why I like them so much. Shelf stable, expiration was 2 years away. Super convenient. You just add hot water and its ready to go in a few minutes. You can also cook it in a skillet after but I am lazy haha.0 -

That spicy cucumber salad looks delicious. Could you share the recipe? I'd try making it as well!
Hiiiiii I’m a month late to reply and I’m so sorry lol. The recipe is by a blogger known as Maangchi and it’s their spicy Korean cucumber salad. The way we make it is double the recipe and with chili oil/chili garlic crunch instead of just plain chili flakes. I also have taken to seeding the cucumbers so leftovers become less watery

My recent obsession: Ezekiel bread products. I have no idea why in the heckity-heck it took me so long to try this brand but here we are. The bread is wheaty and filling and toasts spectacularly while being low enough gluten to not give me a stomach ache and the tortillas are good too… The English muffins aren’t “authentic” as far as EMs go but they still taste great and make lovely small sandwiches. Bible Bread as I lovingly call it is now a staple in my house lol2

I have not had bread in years and just discovered I can eat Ezekiel bread 😋 I am with you on this! I missed my peanut butter and jelly!!1 -
Cheese because I can't have dairy. Feta, parmesan, gruyere, Sequatchie blue. Good thing I can still have wine and potato chips.1

Sugar free Popsicles and sugar free fudge bars. Stores can't seem to keep the Popsicles in stock 😕 I guess there not just my favorite.1

Lidl baby focaccia buns, topped with a piece of Swiss and chopped fancy ham, broiled til bubbling.
About 425 calories. Sooooooo good.2 -
These are soooo good and have such a thick coating of spices. All the flavors are amazing.

I bought a Walnut Cookie Butter at the store the other day and I could just sit and eat it with a spoon. It's 30 calories less than the peanut butter I'd normally go for and I've eaten it on toast for the last two mornings because I love it so much.2

My favorite way to eat them is sprinkle a tablespoon or two on my regular cereal or oatmeal or yogurt and fruit. Gives you something to chew, and keeps me full longer than without it.

sashimi has been my jam lately. that with kabocha tempura and miso soup
Discovered the local Thai/Sushi restaurant has a “box lunch special” that is great value and includes soup of choice (including Tom Kha Kai!!!), sashimi, sushi, teriyaki beef and grilled vegetables, puddle of wasabi, pickled ginger, and this amazing chopped cucumber and fruit salad, a generous lacquered box of nom for a very acceptable (appx) 938 calories and $15.
I’m trying to figure out how often I can convince my friend to go back, because although I’m obsessed, the plan is to try a different place each week.
Next week is vegetarian indian, though, and they have a great tandoori paneer. Paneer is my other recent obsession.
But ohhhhhhh, that box lunch special place is on my walking route. I have to pass the place a minimum of four times a day. And to make it worse, every afternoon they leave a plate of fresh food and incense burning on their back porch rail for a spirit.2 -
