Three Sisters

IMG_0351

One, two, three.

IMG_0337

We’re a special bunch.

IMG_6497

Really.

IMG_6348.jpg cropped

At least that’s what our parents tell us.

IMG_6472

We clearly hate each other.

IMG_0036

And hate taking photos together.

IMG_0319

Aside from our narcissism and eye color, we have some other things in common, too…such as our love for good food.

IMG_5046

This is good food.

IMG_5711

So is this.

IMG_5049

This is good food in a mug.

IMG_5051

This is good food with granola, pumpkin puree, and raw oats.

IMG_5720

This is good food with chopped apples.

IMG_5840

This is good food made into a trail mix style snack with more cereal, raisins, granola, carob chips, and nuts.

And this is where you can get good food.  Yes, Whole Foods is the exclusive seller of Three Sisters’ delicious cereals.  However, you could also read on to find out how you could win some from me 🙂

Three Sisters was kind enough to send me a few different products to review and I have to say, each was better than the last.  The Cinnamon Sweets were sugary, but didn’t give me the rush (and subsequent crash) that accompanies crappy sugar cereals.  My favorite, however, were the Honey Puffs.  Love love love.  I will be buying these on the regular now because of how versatile they are.  I found myself adding them to everything!  No dish was safe from the addition of honey puffs (I’m talking salads, roasted veggies, oats, trail mixes…you name it…).

IMG_5721

Even the Brown Sugar & Maple oats were surprisingly hearty.  I’m typically not a fan of pre-flavored packaged oats, but these weren’t your typical sugar-laden (let’s-trick-kids-into-liking-these) oats.  These were hearty whole grains with a touch of something sweet.

IMG_5723

Aside from flavor, there are even more reasons that Three Sisters Cereal is hippie approved:

(a) It is eco friendly – they use 25% less packaging than other cereals (which are also 100% recyclable), plus they purchase electricity credits from Windsource to produce their products.  I love how they are taking recycling to the next level and working toward reducing waste and water use.

(b) It is nutritious but still tastes just like the unhealthy cereals that my mom wouldn’t let us eat.  The oats are 100% whole grain and organic and the plain grain flavor even has organic flaxseed, barley, quinoa, and rye in it.

(c) It is convenient – the oats’ carton is space-saving and the individual pouches can be used as measuring cups, too.  Likewise, the cereal bag eliminates excess packaging.  Why do cereals need both a box and a bag?  Simply put: they don’t.

IMG_5716

I found all this rather eye opening which is why I thought I’d share.

Did you know that each year, there are 2.5 billion cereal boxes sold in the US?  And if just half of those boxes were bags it would save 90,000 tons of paperboard.  That energy could power over 11,000 homes for a YEAR.  It could also eliminate 170 million gallons of waste water and avoid 1,800 garbage trucks of solid waste.  Crazy right?  It gets better…

To win a FREE Three Sisters cereal of your choice, leave a comment below saying which you would like to try.  Extra entry if you tweet about the giveaway.

I will be selecting FOUR people at random (4!!!) …so good luck!  I’ll announce the winners on January 1st.  Not a bad way to start out the new year, right?

  20. Lili

    mmmm cinnamon sweets! i wish i had sisters! being any only child sucks 🙁

  21. Meredith

    Growing up, my favorite flavor of instant oatmeal was (hands down) maple & brown sugar! There was never a shortage of these delicious Quaker oats in my house. Nowadays, I prefer to eat raw or steel cut oats because they tend to be heartier and healthier, but sometimes I crave the good old sugar-laden instant packets! That being said, I would love to try the Three Sisters’ Brown Sugar & Maple instant oatmeal..it’d be perfect for a quick, healthy breakfast before work in the morning!

  22. Jess

    Cinnamon sweets! Definitely a hard choice, though 🙂

  23. Danielle J

    Everything looks glorious but if I had to choose one then it’d probably be the brown sugar oatmeal 🙂

  24. Annie

    It all looks great!

  25. Danielle

  37. Melissa

    The organic plain grain oats are so versatile b/c you could make them savory with some nutritional yeast or keep ’em sweet with some sun warrior protein powder! :

  38. Rachel

    TWIN! cinnamon sweets look EXACTLY like my old favorite cinnamon toast crunch, but without the fake crap ingredients! YUM. haven’t had those in ages! too bad Whole Foods is so far from me……(or maybe a good thing for my bank balance), but I may have to trek to the westside for those, that is, if i’m not one of the lucky winners 🙂 miss you, didnt make it up to LA, otherwise you would have had a visitor. i leave tmw night back to the snow. besos xxxxxxxxxx

    I love Three Sisters cereal, especially the oatmeal it is my absolute favorite. I eat it every morning for breakfast, I especially love the maple brown sugar and the dark chocolate flavors (I actually never used to like oatmeal until it tried their brand!) I can only imagine what their other cereals would taste like. I would like to try any of them but if I had to pick just one it would be the cinnamon sweets cereal. I think it would make a great mix in/ topping for the maple brown sugar oatmeal.

  95. molly

    I am one of three girls, too! I’ve never tried any of the Three Sister’s products, but the Graham Crackerz cereal looks delicious!

  96. Hilary H

    Chocolate oats! You rock!!

  97. Sarah

    Definitely the cinnamon sweets — great healthy alternative to my childhood fave, Cinnamon Toast Crunch!

  98. Becky

    Those Cinnamon Sweets look yummy, but I’d love to have the oatmeal to keep in my desk for snacking emergencies at work!

  99. Debbie

    Cinnamon Sweets for me! I have three sisters…………and 7 brothers! Yeah for sisters!
