Kashi GoLean Waffles (Original)
By: | Sep 22, 2009
I received a coupon in the mail forKashi Waffles, and I immediately went to the grocery store to buy a box. I saw the favorable review for the Kashi Heart to Heart Honey Oat variety, so I decided to try the Kashi GoLean Original Waffles. They're described as having a "hint of vanilla," which got me really excited - I love vanilla in most everything. One of the things I love about GoLean products is the combo of fiber and protein and as expected, the front of the box advertises 8 grams of protein, 6 grams of fiber, and only 3 grams of fat per serving.
I picked up my box for $2.99 at the grocery store, took it home and toasted up some waffles right away. I must say, the vanilla flavor was a bit strange for me, probably because I'm used to the eggy flavor of Eggo Waffles (on those rare occasions that I eat frozen waffles). But the more bites I took, the more I liked it. The waffles are very hearty, and they toast up to perfection. After eating 2 waffles, I was satisfied for a couple of hours, which is saying something for just 170 calories.

Special K Red Berries Waffles
By: | Sep 20, 2009
Remember when Special K only had Cereal in their product line? Well, no more - there are Bars, Protein Shakes, Water, Snacks, Crackers and now Waffles. I love waffles, so I decided to give the Special K Red Berries Waffles a try. I was excited to try a new brand of waffle and intrigued by the "red berries" addition.
The waffles had a taste and texture similar to other frozen waffles, but I think they may have less of an oily surface, which was great. The little dots of red complemented the traditional waffle taste with a nice touch of berry flavor. I was a bit skeptical initially about how much of the berry flavor came from real berries since the box mentions both natural and artificial flavoring. But in the middle of all those ingredients is a mention of dried strawberries, so that's encouraging.

Natures Path Organic Optimum Power Waffles
By: | Jan 7, 2008
Waffles are a great breakfast option when you're in a hurry in the morning, however many brands available are made with less than nutritious ingredients (read: refined flour, high fructose corn syrup, and even chocolate chips). When I came across Nature's Path Optimum Power Waffles I knew I had to try it. They are made with only most natural ingredients, all organic and whole grain, with added fiber due to the organic oat bran that is included in the recipe. Plus I am a big fan of Nature's Path Organic Optimum Power Breakfast Cereal.
These waffles currently are available only in the blueberry variety, but this single flavor is quite satisfying. They are mildly sweet on their own, so they don't require as much syrup. I enjoyed mine drizzled with just two teaspoons of pure maple syrup and sprinkled cinnamon sugar. Unlike many of their frozen waffle counterparts, these waffles toast up nicely without any sogginess. The texture is light and pillowy, with chunks of blueberry in every bite.

Kashi Heart to Heart Honey Oat Waffles
By: | Jan 4, 2008
First thing I noticed about Kashi Heart to Heart Honey Oat Waffles was the numerous health claims on the packaging - for just a waffle! On just the cover of the box, it says, "Now with white tea, can help reduce cholesterol, supports healthy arteries and nothing artificial." Furthermore, the American Heart Association's stamp of approval makes an appearance.
Well, how could I not buy them after all the hype on the box, so to begin my healthy breakfast (also good for dessert), I snapped the box open and pulled out 2 waffles. Their appearance and size is comparable to a "normal" waffle and after two rounds in the toaster, they appeared to be ready - the outside was a crispy brown and slightly burnt in a few little spots (just like I like it). I cut off a small bite and realized that the inside was a bit gooey compared to the crust. Maybe it is my cooking technique, but every time I make them, they turn out that way. In the end, it doesn't matter! After adding a drizzle of syrup (have you tried the delish Aunt Jemima Butter Lite Syrup), I was set. It tasted like a delicious, healthy version of the waffles I used to eat as a kid at Denny's. The taste is refreshingly subtle and sweet, and does not leave you with that gross overstuffed feeling, like many other waffles.

Vans Organic Soy Flax Waffles
By: | May 1, 2006
I consider Van's Waffles to be top notch stuff, or like the packaging says, "Gourmet Waffles" - just like I consider Eggos to be an okay brand of waffles, made popular because mainly due to television advertising. Van's Organic Soy Flax Waffles taste great - but then again, it's pretty hard to mess up waffles. Van's comes out of the toaster oven thick, crispy and a lot of texture. Even though these waffles were made with soy and flax meal, I didn't detect any unusual flavors because of this.
One of the other things I love about Vans Organic Soy Flax Waffles, is that they are made with no preservatives, and they are organic, as well as vegan - no eggs or dairy in the ingredients. One serving is 2 waffles - and that is quite enough for breakfast. There are 230 calories, 11 grams of fat, which is 16% of the recommended daily amount, 1.5 grams of saturated fat, 290 mg sodium (12% of daily recommendations), 6 grams of fiber and 4 grams of sugar.
