Our favorite 365 products are the cheese puffs/cheese curls. They taste great, have no icky additives that my kids don't need, and they are less than half of what the name brand costs at the mainstream grocery stores!

I Love so many 365 products, but the apple cider is so thirst-quenching and comforting. I like it cold and hot. MMMMMMM good!

My favorite is the 32 oz. Nonfat Vanilla Yogurt. It's great with blueberries and a cut banana mixed in. I have it as a snack every day!

I love the 365 Everyday Value brand whole-grain penne pasta. It is delicious without the cardboard-like taste of so many other brands. My favorite way to use it is in a shrimp and veggie stirfry. Lots of garlic, of course!

I disliked peanut butter until I discovered the 365 Organic Chunky Peanut Butter unsalted. It was creamy and crunchy, not too sweet, naturally salty but not too much. Just perfect roasted peanut goodness. I was hooked and we went through 2 jars a week in my home. Then, it disappeared from store shelves. I tried other crunchy organic kinds hoping to find a substitute. Nope. Haven't had peanut butter since.
My current 365 favorite is the Organic Whole Wheat Penne Pasta. i'd tried several brands of whole wheat pasta looking to transition away from white flour. But most tasted bitter, took very long to cook and had a chewy texture even when fully cooked. Then I found the 365 version - has the most subtly nutty flavor, cooks beautifully, fills you up better than white pasta and leaves you feeling lighter than white pasta. whoa! The other night i cooked it with a white parmesan asiago sauce. i topped it with some organic chicken breast, and a mix of veggies i had in the fridge - carrots, broccoli, and tomatoes - all sauted with roasted garlic and italian dressing. easy to make. and very popular - i had no leftovers!
p.s whole foods head honchos, if you're reading this, bring back the pb please. it'll kill my diet, but oh i'd love some with nutella right now!

The Roasted Red Pepper Pasta Sauce is a winner.

We love the French Vanilla ground coffee for a special cup of java in the morning!

I like the 365 Milk. Tastes so good.

i love the maple syrup!

I like Whole Foods froxen dinners, pizzas, and pies the best. I use a lot of Whole Foods 365 frozen entrees and vegetables, which go well in stir-fries. I also like Whole Foods 365 frozen fruit pies.

organic beef jerkey..kids love it! also the milk!

My favorite 365 product is the chocolate box cake...mmmmmm. It is better than any cruddy box cake at any cruddy grocery store!!! Easy to make and absolutely a TREAT to eat. Comfort.

It is hard to choose just one. The low sodium chicken broth is probably my favorite!

The 365 product that has most beneficially impacted my house is the gluten free bread mix. Because one person has a wheat allergy, the whole houshold is affected. Most gluten free breads are weak in the taste area and high in price, but the 365 bread mix both tastes good and is significantly cheaper than other brands!

The Agave Nectar! A great price!

The 365 pasta sauces are a household favorite. Love all the flavors but particularly the sundried tomato as well as the tomato basil.
10/18/2009 11:01:34 AM CDT
Mine is the tomato basil pasta sauce. It's delish!

My favorite is the the olive oil. I use it for making healthy salads and for cooking
dinner. I love it!
10/18/2009 11:58:53 AM CDT
The olive oil is wonderful. I use it everyday to cook with and to add
to my favorite dishes.

My favorite 365 Everyday Value brand product is the Citrus Grapefruit Body Lotion. Equally a favorite is the Citrus Grapefruit Shower Gel. Each has a wonderful fragrance and luxurious feel to nourish the skin.

My family loves the 365 Organic Vanilla Soymilk to drink right out of the carton or put on cereal.

We are tea fantatics and absolutely love the Rooibos Orange Vanilla Creme Tea. It has such a beautiful flavor and is such a great value to boot! We drive for miles to get it.

I like the 365 organic refried black beans with jalapenos. They are so good warmed up with some salsa for a great bean dip!
10/18/2009 2:09:03 PM CDT
Nothing and I mean nothing beats the 365 ORANGE JUICE !!!
It's amazing it tastes as though someone just squeezed it into the carton before I bought it, and it's not too acidy - I haven't had any other orange juice for about 2 yrs!
