I rarely review food, but I've ordered this many times. The price is very reasonable for a breakfast meal, and the food is especially delicious. This bowl is perfect for women, but a little small for men . In short, it's DELICIOUS, NUTRITIOUS, and AFFORDABLE. You should buy it; I buy several boxes at a time.
