Bloo juice is 100% all natural, sugar-free, gluten-free blueberry juice. Literally, the only ingredients in it are blueberries. The juice can be used for drinking or mixed into smoothies, mixes, and used as salad dressings and marinades. Because it is just juice.
Personally, I liked the fact that it came with no sugar added. The taste was tart but sweet and I found I needed to add a little bit of sugar to make it more to my liking. I have a second bottle I will be trying in one of the recipes listed on their FaceBook page.
I find it difficult to find pure blueberry drinks since most companies like to mix it with items I don't like or add enough sugar to make it more of an unhealthy drink than a healthy drink. So finding this one was great. It is still moving into the Maritimes though so there's currently not a huge selection at my local store. The price is also a bit higher than I can afford for it to be a daily or even a weekly drink of choice. I was able to get two bottles (247 ml size) during the BOGO sale at my store.
The website shows it comes in three flavours - blueberry, blueberry strawberry, and blueberry citrus. I'm not sure about the citrus blend, I would have to see exactly which citrus is in it, but I hope to be able to try the strawberry blend sometime this summer. This is definitely on my must purchase again list.

Compliments Sirloin Burgers

I'm recommending these burgers even though I prefer making my own. They are better than any other frozen burger patties I've tried, and I've tried a lot, but aside from the convenience of being pre-made, there isn't much else to them. They taste all right but tend to be a bit dry when fried up. I also found they aren't as filling unless loaded with lots of toppings or accompanied by a side dish.
The price is a bit steeper than I like being $10 for a box of 8 patties. I can buy a pack of ground beef for that price and make twice the number of patties. But for people who want something quick and easy to do up, these are the burgers to buy.

Normally, the SPF number on sunscreen tells me how many minutes I can stay in the sun before needing to reapply or go in. I burn very easily. This is the first product I've tried where I can actually stay out the recommended time period and not burn. It applies easily and doesn't feel greasy. It sinks in fast so there's little wait time needed for it to dry. It also has a light scent that does not trigger my allergies. I'm definitely keeping this product on my must-buy list. -

Great as a snack cereal. Just put into a container or bag and let people snack on it instead of chips. Major problem with that is the crumb factor is high. I tend to use a strainer to shift the larger pieces out for snacking when I want some. Even my cat loves it, although I don't know how healthy it is for him so I try to keep it away from him. But he'll come right up to anyone who has some and try to steal the clusters. -

One of my favorite cereals. Strawberries and Special K together, yum. My major complaint is that the strawberries definitely need to soak in the milk to get re-hydrated otherwise they taste like cardboard. Unfortunately, giving them the time to soak sometimes makes the cereal soggy. There are plenty of strawberries included but I find it works best with additional fresh fruit. That way if one of the slices doesn't soak long enough it isn't noticeable. -

Nutella Hazelnut Spread
Next to exrta creamy peanut butter, this is the number one sandwich/toast spread in our house. We get the large two-pack from Costco so the price is actually fair. We also use Nutella when baking and for other treats. Anyone for Nutella ice cream?
