| Hallelujah! After following a low-carb lifestyle for awhile, a lot of people will tell you... breakfast is challenging sometimes. After awhile, there is only so many ways you can cook an egg--you know? This cereal is my answer. I love everything about it-- it's a hot, yummy, comfort food that satisfies just the way that oatmeal or cream of wheat would, and the flavors are great! The best part for me, though, is all that fabulous fiber. I sometimes struggle with digestion issues on the Atkins diet, but adding in just a few extra veggies and a bowl of this cereal every morning? Bye-bye tummy troubles! My favorite is the strawberry, because it has just enough natural sweetness that I rarely feel the need for a pack of splenda or anything extra. My one bit of advice-- the flax seed texture takes a little getting used to, but experiment with the amount of water you add to find the texture that you most enjoy. (Just like oatmeal--people have different tastes/ideas about consistency? This cereal is no different.) Love it, love it, love it!!! |

| Wow. I am not a big breakfast eater but I know how important it is. Since I am a home care nurse and on the road all day, I have to eat something filling as I don't know when I'll be able to eat again. This fits the bill perfectly and is so filling I can't even eat a whole serving! A half of a serving fills me right up. I do add a bit of half and half for a creamier texture but it's delicious either way. I just ordered the three other flavors and if they are as yummy as the Butter Pecan, I'll be one happy girl! Highly recommended! |

| My husband and I are both on the Atkins diet plan. After a while you get a little tired of eating eggs for breakfast. The vanilla almond hot cereal satisfies our cravings for oatmeal. It's filling and delicious and helps keep things "moving" in the right direction. |

| The Butter Pecan version of this cereal is excellent! I found its sweetness to be just right, loved the flavor and smell, and enjoyed the the bits of pecan mixed in. As another reviewer reported, I would eat this even if I was not on a low carb diet. |

| This hot cereal is very good. The texture is different, but those of us on low carb programs are used to that. I love all the flavors and eat this for breakfast year around. Give one of them a try. You will be glad you did. |

| I love Sensato high fiber cereals. While I do enjoy eggs and low carb pancake mix, I would truly miss this product if it became unavailable. It's easy to make and tastes great and I really couldn't recommend it more highly. I have only tried the Butter Pecan and Vanilla Almond so look to other reviews for info on different flavors. |

April 12, 2012 Reviewer: Jenny in New York |
| This is very filling. Like a chewy cream of wheat. I had to add almost 1 cup of water to make it the texture I liked, which made a bigger bowl. I didn't really care for the artificial strawberry flavor, but it's not really that strong. I'll try the plain next time. If you like farina and ralston cereals, you should like this. It really fills you up for just a couple carbs. |

April 08, 2012 Reviewer: Kathleen in California |
| I've always enjoyed hot oatmeal for breakfast but when I switched to a low carb lifestyle, I really missed hot cereal. I've tried the butter pecan and vanilla almond with a splash of heavy cream and it really tastes great. I don't miss regular oatmeal at all anymore. I just ordered the plain and will try it with a few berries thrown in and bit of heavy cream. Should be great. |

| I started eating the Sensato hot cereal in the morning and weight started dropping off. I'm convinced this stuff is helping. I love the Butter Pecan flavor by far the best and have tried all flavors (Apple Cinnamon, Strawberri-licious, Plain and Vanilla Almond). After preparing cereal, I top it with about a tablespoon of sugar free Aunt Jemima pancake syrup and swirl it in. Tastes wonderful! |

November 21, 2011 Reviewer: A customer in Virginia |
| Yum! My husband and I tried the Sensato Butter-Pecan flavor this weekend and both agree it is delicious. It tastes like something I would eat even if I wasn't on a low-carb diet! I liked the texture, which was similar to cream-of-wheat (I found the Dixie Diner hot cereal to be too loose and mushy). I had no problem with the sucralose flavor in the cereal. The Butter Pecan flavoring was just the right balance of sweet with a hint of salty. The tiny bits of *real pecans* mixed in added both extra texture and delightful bursts of pecan flavor. In addition, this cereal had none of the soy flavor that the Dixie Diner cereal had. The 1/2 cup serving was plenty filling and I was satisfied until lunch time. Although I am disappointed there is no unsweetened/unflavored version of this to try (I bet it would be very tasty by itself), I can't wait to try the other flavors of this cereal. |

| Butter pecan is the only one I've tried so far, but it's so good! Just one serving is very filling, but doesn't seem to satisfy my hunger for a long period of time, which is no big deal, it definitely won't stop me from eating this or purchasing it in the future. I use unsweetened coconut milk instead of water and mix in some almonds, it taste's great! I just ordered another bag of butter pecan and am going to try the vanilla almond, can't wait for them to get here! |

June 21, 2011 Reviewer: Dale in Washington |
| This is the most ideal cereal I have found. I add blueberries and chopped walnuts or, apple pieces and chopped pecans sauteed in butter to the cereal. Then plain yogurt is mixed with the cereal, fruit and nuts combination. The yogurt nicely creams the cereal and adds the daily pro-biotics that work nicely with this high fiber cereal. My preference is the "Butter Pecan" Sensato product. |

June 15, 2011 Reviewer: Barbara in Florida |
| This stuff is fantastic. Low carb, low calorie with high fiber and protein. I use a little less water and add a splash of cream to it for a more creamy texture. Reminds me of Cream of Wheat. I've tried the vanilla almond as well. Strawberrilicious is my fav so far. This is a must for low carbers that want more breakfast options. |

| Wow! Are you looking for a quick, easy and great tasting breakfast? I absolutely fell in love with the Butter Pecan cereal. It fills me up and keeps me satisfied and it tastes great! It reminds me of Red River or Zoom cereal. I feel so lost in the morning, since I ran out of it. I am ordering all the flavors to try now. I like that it has very low carbs and has so much fiber. |

May 04, 2011 Reviewer: Wanda in Tennessee |
| The very first time I tried this, I was thrown off by the texture. It can be a little gritty but adding extra water helps. By the second bowl, I was sold. This is a great product. I do not even have to add splenda. I tried the strawberry due to the reviews. I don't usually like strawberry flavored foods but this was great. I like to add a little cinnamon to mine. I am gonna try the butter pecan next. I love the fiber content. |

May 01, 2011 Reviewer: KAREN in Texas |
| I ate a packet of oatmeal every weekday for years and really missed it. I was about to give up and find one more way to choke down a breakfast egg when I tried this. OMG I am amazed. It tastes nice on its own. I read some of the other posts (thank you folks) and sprinkled cinnamon; that was good too. I can easily see how adding a bit of cream would give it yet another flavor change. I will try the pecan next. If any of you are familiar with CoCo Wheats, the smell is reminiscent of those, but the taste and texture are all their own. The texture reminds me of farina with ground wheat mixed in. I will definitely buy this again. It satisfies for the oatmeal that I really missed. |

February 18, 2011 Reviewer: Dorian in California |
| We have tried the strawberry and the Butter Pecan, and now we are ordering the Apple Cinnamon. I know it will be as good or better than the first 2 marvelous flavors. These cereals are almost solid FIBER!!! And with the Splenda they are sugar sweet and rich tasting. Put a fiber punch in your day from the very beginning, add some nuts or fruit if you wish, and your body will thank you. It's delicious and sooo healthy. |

| I didn't like this cereal at first, but then I realized I wasn't putting near enough water. I add cacao powder and chia seeds into each serving as well for additional fiber and nutrition. I've had butter pecan and vanilla almond so far and I just purchased strawberrilicious. The texture takes a little getting use to but I really like it and eat it every morning and sometimes at night. I think it provides a nice break from eating so much protein as well. |

September 30, 2010 Reviewer: Rebecca in Florida |
| Ok I have tried all four flavors now. The first time I tried these I was put off by the artificial sugar after-taste but then I realized I didn't put enough hot water; it calls for 3/4 cup and I only put 1/2 cup; the extra 1/4 cup really made a difference! I appreciate the high fiber because on low carb I don't always get enough. Butter Pecan is my favorite, Vanilla Almond comes in as a close second and Strawberrilicious is third... Apple Cinnamon is pretty good but I probably won't order that one again, it just doesn't measure up to the other three. I still wish they would make some that is just plain so I could add my own flavors or just eat it plain. |

| I have been eating low carb for 1 1/2 years. I have lost 50lbs. One of the foods I have greatly missed is cereal. I recently ordered Sensato's High-Fiber hot cereal with Apple Cinnamon flavors. I was thrilled with the flavor. I eat it with fresh strawberry's and a little cream. I have purchased many "low carb" products. Some of which I have been disappointed with. Many I have tolerated. But this product I have can truly say "I LOVE".
Happy Low Carbing to Everyone |

| I have this every morning. It is so low in carbs that I use l Cup of cereal and sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts over it. A huge 3 carb breakfast. Also, a touch of cream makes this heavenly! Fills me up, and I am full for hours. Thanks to Netrition finding out about the "other Hot Flax Cereal" which stated l carb. per serving and was actually 10 carbs.They suggested I try this. Thanks Netrition! Buy it, you won't be disappointed. The only flavor I DO NOT LIKE is Apple Cinnamon. |

I am ordering another bag of the Butter Pecan, and also a Vanilla Almond. This will be a great quick breakfast item to keep at the office. |

| This is a great tasting product. Since starting on my low carb diet, regularity has been an issue. I have tried many ways to restore this without success. This Wonderful tasting hot cereal has restored my balance in this department. I would recommend this cereal on taste alone, but the low carb and fiber are a bonus. |

| I am on a very low carb diet and am always looking for additional ways to get extra fiber. I must say I am so happy with the Sensato cereal. This awesome product is a GOD send! It is low carb, yummy, very filling and high in fiber! My favorite flavors are the butter pecan and the vanilla almond. To make it a little higher in fiber and protein I add the Nutiva Hemp Protein + Fiber. It makes the cereal a little darker in color but it is delicious together! I am so glad to find these products as I was getting tired of protein shakes alone for breakfast! Netrition also has the best price on both of these products so that is also a great plus! Thank You for these wonderful products!! |

| Yum. This is the best low carb cereal I have ever had. It should be called 'Bran Muffin Hot Cereal' because that is what it tastes like. I mix 1/4 cup of cereal with 3/8 cup of water and then microwave until hot. 1/4 cup is enough because the cereal is very filling. It's already sweetened so it may not need that much more sweetening. Good with fresh or frozen berries or fruit, raisins, brown sugar sweetener and with vanilla Atkins' Shake. Enjoy! |

| This hot cereal is delicious and filling and perfect for the low carb lifestyle. I am thrilled with finally finding great tasting, low carb, high fiber cereal. I originally ordered the butter pecan and strawberrilicious and love them both. They are excellent with no added ingredients, but I added a few more pecans and about a TBS of DaVinci syrup to the butter pecan. I just ordered the apple cinnamon and vanilla almond and will review those later. I sure hope the carb and fiber counts are right, but so far this cereal has not stalled my weight loss. |

| I tried the apple cinnamon first. You just can't go wrong with the nutritional info of this product; it's lower in calories (and carbs of course) than oatmeal per 1/2 cup serving (oatmeal gets so boring after a while), & it has 10 grams of fiber which will help to keep you full. I immediately ordered the other 3 flavors and can't wait to try them. I'm sure they will be just as good! Two thumbs up to Sensato! |
