One, two, three.
We’re a special bunch.
Really.
At least that’s what our parents tell us.
We clearly hate each other.
And hate taking photos together.
Aside from our narcissism and eye color, we have some other things in common, too…such as our love for good food.
So is this.
This is good food in a mug.
This is good food with granola, pumpkin puree, and raw oats.
This is good food with chopped apples.
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…).
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.
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.
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…

I would love to try any of the oat flavors. We just moved and our kitchen is still in the construction stage. I’m dying over here not being able to cook. Give me some oats please!
Aw! I’ve two sisters, but were nothing as close as you guys. Unfortunately! I’d love to try the brown maple sugar oats! X
the marshmallow oaties look like the perfect recipe for a smores breakfast 🙂
Ohhh happy hippie galore!
The cinnamon sweets looks rather deee-lishhhh!
Living in Norway, stuff like this is not easy to find. And if you do, it’s gorram expencive.
That’s why I hope I’ll get to try one (^.^)
Frosty hugs <3
I’m also one of three sisters. The cinnamon sweets look amazing!
Yum! I’d love to try the Cinnamon Sweets!
I’d love to try the sweet wheat. I used to love frosted mini wheats, but I hate that they have high fructose corn syrup!
i love to try the honey oaties!
I would love to try the Honey Puffs, although the Cinnamon Sweets look pretty tasty, too! Thanks for the giveaway!
I want to try the oats!! I love hot oats with a passion!
wow looks like cinnamon toast crunch but natural! cool!
I enjoyed all the photos of you and your sisters. 🙂
I’d love to try the Cinnamon Sweets!
I would love to try the Cinnamon Sweets cereal!
Brown sugar oatmeal for sure. Your sisters are so pretty too!
Super cute post!! There is something special about having sisters, isn’t there?!
I’d love to try the Cinnamon Sweets cereal!
i love collecting different kinds of cereals then mixing them up!!! those cereals looks delish!
awww LOVE this post! very tough decision though. plain grain oatmeal! so many healthy grains in there!
mmmm cinnamon sweets! i wish i had sisters! being any only child sucks 🙁
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!
Cinnamon sweets! Definitely a hard choice, though 🙂
Everything looks glorious but if I had to choose one then it’d probably be the brown sugar oatmeal 🙂
It all looks great!
I’d love to try those Honey Puffs! Thanks for the giveaway!
honey puffs! i didn’t even know they made those!!!!
I’d go for the Marshmallow Oaties. Healthy version of Lucky Charms? I’m so there.
Cinnamon Sweets please =D Thanks!
the brown sugar oatmeal!!!
ps you and your sisters are all so gorgeous! 😀
cinnamon sweets please! 🙂
your comment to me that skylar looks just like me in a pic…yeah and sometimes ppl say she looks just like scott and im like huh? b/c he has dark brown hair and brown eyes and she’s blond w/ blue eyes.
you and your sisters are gorg!
You won me over with the honey puffs! They sound amazing :]
You and your sisters are so cute! I only have one sister, but we take like a MILLION pics every time we’re together…makes my mom laugh, especially when we run out of poses and start making goofy faces!
Girl, you sold me on those Honey Puffs! I want to add them to roasted veggies! Mmmm, parsnips would be perfect! 🙂
I think I would take your word for it and try those Honey Puffs!
Mmmmmmm I’d have to go with maple brown sugar. But those cinnamon sweets look good too!
Definitely the sweet wheat! 😀
I would love to try the maple brown sugar hot cereal. nom nom nom-the cold has been taking its toll. 🙁
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! :
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’d love to try the Cinnamon Sweets!
The brown sugar maple sounds delicious! I have two pb jars almost empty ready to try it 🙂
I would love to try the Graham Crackerz one – not gonna lie, I used to eat ridiculous quantities of Golden Grahams when I was a young’un. It would be great to be able to eat a healthier version!
You and your sisters are gorgeous btw!
As one of three girls, I too, have been intrigued by this company. After perusing their website, I would love to try their Graham Crackerz–sounds like the Golden Grahams of my childhood!

I’m all for the brown sugar & maple. Can’t go wrong with that!

All the cereals look so delicious! After much debating with myself, I finally decided that the Marshmallow Oaties appeal to me the most.
i’m not entering the contest (though i love their stuff – just wanna give someone else a chance) but i wanted to comment that your sisters (and you) are GORGEOUS!
Just discovered your blog and I am exciting to continue reading. The honey puffs look amazing! My family also consists of three sisters 🙂 so much fun!
Oh my word, your sisters and you are too adorable – looking at you 3 made me super excited that I’m having a baby girl (is that weird??!).
I’d love to try the cinnamon sweets kind…it looks like deliciousness.
what a pleasant surprise! (I just framed the one of us on the stairs of the laf park hotel before your wedding…super cute). Oh, and the oatmeal looks good too…
Oh…AND how has NO ONE commented on your ridiculous ski overalls outfit!?!? The really sad part is that those were Dad’s in the 80’s, no?
AH so hard to chose! I’d love to try the cinnamon sweets 🙂
so want to try cinnamon sweets!
The Honey Puffs. I could do some damage with those!
I want to try the oats. I am interested since you say they aren’t too sugary!!
Hi! I’ve been reading your blog for a few months and have really been enjoying it. It’s good to know other people eat like me by throwing random things in a bowl and chowing down. I would love to try the Cinnamon Sweets because I just bought a box of the name brand stuff and would love a healthier alternative for my cinnamon sugar cravings.
I would love to win the Cinnamon Sweets Three Sisters Cereal!! I really hope that I win!! 🙂

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.
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!
Chocolate oats! You rock!!
Definitely the cinnamon sweets — great healthy alternative to my childhood fave, Cinnamon Toast Crunch!
Those Cinnamon Sweets look yummy, but I’d love to have the oatmeal to keep in my desk for snacking emergencies at work!
Cinnamon Sweets for me! I have three sisters…………and 7 brothers! Yeah for sisters!
Tasty! I would also like you to come cook my meals. 🙂
Mmmmm the Cinnamon Sweets for sure!!
I want to try the 3 sisters version of honey nut Cheerios! I straight up loved those as a kiddo!
Cinnamon Sweets, without a doubt! 🙂
