April 04, 2007 Reviewer: George in Arkansas

I ordered a package of GG Bran Crispbread in my first Netrition.com order on the strength of the positive reviews. It was wonderful to have my skepticism vanish as fast as that first package of Crispbread. This product fills the void left by bread in my lo-carb eating plan. Delicious - plain, dunked in chocolate soy milk, topped and toasted with cheese... I even tried two slices crumbled into a bowl as cereal. High fiber, 0 net carbs, tasty, guilt-free bread replacement! I'm ordering more and would love to see Netrition.com offer a deal on small/large case orders.

February 23, 2008 Reviewer: Donna H in Ohio

Naysayers cite the bland taste and difficult texture... and they are right... BUT they didn't experiment enough. From the early 80's, here's a trick to eat these things. Diet Center taught us to spread mustard on the top side of two crackers. Then add meat, cheese, tuna salad, whatever, slap togther and wrap in foil. Pop in the fridge for an hour or two--then enjoy a "sandwich" with the softened crackers. Use them as a base for pizza in the microwave. Crush them for breadcrumbs (meatloaf) or mixed with lots of garlic powder and parmesan cheese for an EXCELLENT breading mixture.

October 27, 2006 Reviewer: Ellie Mae in Pennsylvania

I LOVE THIS CRISPBREAD. It tastes great. I use it for dips, cream cheese - even made a crunchy little sandwich. I put cheese on them and put them in the microwave to melt. Great Snack. If you buy nothing else do yourself a favor and buy these. Also, I agree with another review - this was the cheapest I see them anywhere.

December 28, 2008 Reviewer: Denise in Nebraska

I'm disappointed that they have revamped this product. It is now 2 carbs per cracker instead of the 0 that it used to be. It used to be great to be able to eat several crackers without worrying about counting carbs.

August 03, 2008 Reviewer: Hovanes in California

Love these crackers cant live without them but please be advised that these are not carb free they have 3 net carbs. In European countries labeling is quite different, they state the carbs and fiber but list the carbs by automatically subtracting the carbs from fiber. I know it’s a bit confusing but it actually has 6 carbs with 3 fiber subtracted so 3 net carbs are listed. Even with 3 net carbs they are very good and very filling would undoubtingly recommend to all low carbers.

April 03, 2009 Reviewer: A customer in Connecticut

I love this bran crispbread. At first, I was a little skeptical about what to do with it, because it is not necessarily enjoyable on its own. Then I started using it to make tuna salad sandwiches and it was such a delicious treat. It reminded me of tuna salad on toast. Now, I have found other wonderful uses for this product. I sometimes eat it at "tea time", with jok and al's fruit spreads, namely the grape jelly. It's fabulous. Plus there is the added benefit of it being a fiber product, which means it really regulates one's system.

August 18, 2008 Reviewer: A customer in New York

We're kind of hooked on these crispbreads. Yes, all by themselves, they do taste kind of like cardboard, but put something on them, and they're quite good, especially if you're looking for high fiber and low carbs. We love them with tuna or with cream cheese and smoked salmon, anything that adds some moisture. Possibly an acquired taste (it took me a while to love them), but if you're committed to a low carb lifestyle, they're a really good choice.

July 26, 2008 Reviewer: Hovanes in California

These crackers are great. I read some negative reviews and I must say these crackers are not for everyday food connoisseurs, but they are for fellow low carbers who desperately miss “bread” or something filling in their diets. They are also very low cal, no net carbs and very filling, so they make a great weight loss product. I spread some sugar free jam and microwave for 7 seconds it absorbs the jam and becomes a great snack with coffee in the morning. I crumble it on salads and in soups and makes a great crouton substitute. I also love making pizza with these crackers (just spread some tomato paste, non fat cheese and a couple of slices of pepperoni, sprinkle some oregano and garlic salt and microwave for a couple of seconds).

March 31, 2008 Reviewer: Felicia in New York

I ordered this for the first time and by itself it has no appeal; BUT with any low carb dip or spread it is great and my favorite use so far is with ham and cheese melted on top in the microwave. I ordered 10 more packs today. The fiber is so healthy too; I am grateful that I found this product.

Very good. I use them with cream cheese and cinnamon and Splenda. Also use with cream cheese and Walden Farms no carb jelly. Makes for an excellent dessert snack! Would recommend.

November 16, 2009 Reviewer: Amanda in Virginia

Yeah, it tastes like cardboard plain, I admit it. But seriously, 12 cal and low carb? Love to put tuna or chicken salad on this and top with cheese then microwave for a few seconds for tuna melts...great with laughing cow cheese wedges, cream cheese with sf jelly for a sweet treat...really these are a great cracker.

September 15, 2009 Reviewer: Jacob in New Jersey

I absolutely love these. These crispbreads are packed with a ton of fiber, which is so important when you're drinking liquid meals from time to time. Plus, most people get way too little fiber. The best part is they taste great, especially with cheese. Sometimes I make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with them. They stay fresh for a long time and have a great consistency. I can't eat enough to order a case ever, but I always make sure to order several 3.5 oz. packs because they are usually the first thing I run low on from Netrition.

September 13, 2009 Reviewer: lenda in Texas

I love GG Scandinavian Bran Crispbread. I eat two for breakfast with cream cheese every morning. They are very filling and keep me full until lunch. They are also very good with peanut butter and jelly. They make a quick breakfast if you are in a hurry. They are also good for a snack before bedtime. Being a diabetic these are perfect for my low carb diet.

Bran Crisp has been an excellent addition to my low carb nutrition plan. The crunch without the fat content gives me a great alternative to pork rinds for salads and snacks. I usually add some type of soft cheese for added flavor which also goes well with wine. Great to accompany appetizer plates to use as dippers and crackers.

The more I eat these the more I crave them. I do actually eat these plain sometimes; they offer a pleasant bran flavor. But they are really good with the Jok n' Al products on them. I like to have these with those jams and some tea in between meals. Takes the edge off of hunger (5g fiber) and totally guilt free (only 12 calories)!

June 05, 2009 Reviewer: Susan in West Virginia

Bran Crispbread is a terrific product. Love the low calorie, low carb, high fiber foods for weight loss and then keeping it off. They are great with PB2, salsa, non fat cheese, tuna, yogurt. If you can put it on a cracker, it's great on Bran Crispbread. Really excellent.

June 01, 2009 Reviewer: Pat in Virginia

These are one of my go-to items for weight loss! Low in calories, high in fiber. When I top them with Laughing Cow cheese, turkey pepperoni and/or turkey bacon, I eat them with a sugar free bread 'n butter pickle and have a satisfying meal of less than 200 calories! Whoa! or at breakfast, I scramble some egg beaters and put them on the crispbread with cheese and I'm not hungry for 3 hours. Thank you so much for this low calorie product.

Great product, very good with tuna/egg salad spread right on top. I eat 2 slices for a meal with some type of spread and drink a good amount of water. The fiber will expand and keep you full which is great and helps with a lot of weight loss.

May 03, 2009 Reviewer: Leslie in Illinois

These are great -- very versatile. I would not eat them by themselves -- they are way too bland and dry, but with spreads, dips, sandwich toppings, etc, they work quite nicely and though bland, they do have a faint, somewhat nutty flavor which complements a lot of foods. I like the fact that, though they are very hard (crunchy is, perhaps, the better term) they are not brittle -- in most cases they do not immediately crack into pieces when one bites into them. This makes them suitable for sandwich-like creations. I particularly like to spread peanut butter or cream cheese on them. Very versatile.

April 17, 2009 Reviewer: Deirdre in New York

I was so anxious to try these and I must say, they did not disappoint. I love anything 'bran' so I just assumed I would like these... well, I absolutely love them! They are, in fact, incredibly filling. Just two of these will ward off any hunger pangs and satisfy. What I love about these is the fact that it is so difficult to make any 'bran' recipe without the end product falling apart. But these, stay intact, have a nice crunch and wonderful taste. I do not even have to put anything on them. I can eat them plain and still enjoy them, but then again, I love the taste of bran. I am very glad I discovered these and will be purchasing them for years to come!

April 08, 2009 Reviewer: Sue in California

This bread is great, more like a hard cracker. I take it with anything I cook, curry chicken, steak, any dish that calls for rice or pasta, even canned sardines or smoked salmon. It also cleans your digestive system which I think is awesome. I wish I could find some low sodium cheese, any ideas anyone? The cheese also must be low fat as well, so it's kind of difficult to have the best of both worlds, but I'm always looking. I have already lost a few pounds substituting this bread with my regular carbs and I feel a lot healthier inside. I would recommend this product with something like cream cheese, canned sardines, or any dinner entree (less the carbs -like potato, rice or pasta), substitute with this bread, 3 slices gives you 15 grams of fiber, that's really good. Imagine having 3 meals with 2 pieces of the bread each meal, I am sure the potential benefits it has will do wonders to your body.

March 26, 2009 Reviewer: Henry in California

A great product. Most of the bad reviews on this I think are from those consuming the crackers right out of the package without anything else. Eaten plain, they pretty much taste awful. But add just about anything to disguise the taste and texture and and they actually are a tremendous alternative to full flour products. I eat them with the powdered peanut butter (PB2) by the ton, with soups etc. My favorite is PB2 topped with Walden Farms either Marshmallow or Chocolate Dip. BTW, with all the fiber I now get, my bowels movements are much more regular. The Sprinkles version are also terrific. Though I am not ready to completely substitute these for full floured products they have helped to cut down their use by half. They do take some getting used to but if you are a highly motivated dieter and/or fitness buff like me you will quickly appreciate the benefit in terms of calories saved and fiber added to your regimen.

If you like crunchy, fibery things, these are great. I love them with cheese or Dixie Diner's Beanit Butter. Just be sure to drink at least a glass of water with each one! (My niece calls them "tree bark!")

I put everything on top of the crispbread. It has a nice crunch so you don't even miss bread. This stuff keeps you very full. I can't eat more than 2 slices.

I use this to make a "Bran Cracker Crust" for my low carb cheesecake recipe. If you put it in the blender 'til it gets to desired consistency, add half a stick of melted butter, and a couple of tablespoons of Splendor. Press into baking dish, and bake for 10 minutes before adding cheesecake filling.

January 06, 2009 Reviewer: Lorelei in Washington

I originally purchased this crisp bread for the fiber and for something crackery that was low carb. I recall my mom feeding us Wasa bread in the 70's and how much I hated it. I figured I would just have to live with it. I was shocked that I actually liked it. This bread is so good! It has a good taste and texture. I have it as a side to soup, with cheese, I even tried some with a "healthy" jam and I liked it. The fact that the calories are almost non existent, and the fiber is high, makes this a winner for me.

December 22, 2008 Reviewer: HOLLY in Arizona

These remind me of Rye Crisp or Wasa crackers only a little harder in texture. They are very chewy and hard but because of that don't break when loaded with cheese or other toppings. Their very low calorie and carb count make them perfect for those extra between meals snacks.

October 31, 2008 Reviewer: chelsea in California

I'm glad they changed their nutritional information for the USA. I used to think they were zero net carb but learned differently from one of the low carb sites. You can't really go wrong with the actual two net carbs and all of that fiber. Yes, they're dry - but they make a great transportation system for egg or chicken salad, cream cheese and berries nut butters and other delicious things that at times need to be eaten off of something besides a fork or spoon.

These are not only great for low-carb diets but low-cal also. I find them to be a great alternative to bread and the taste lends itself to all kinds of dips, spreads, cheeses, deli meats, etc. Plus the high fiber content helps keep you feeling full longer.

August 27, 2008 Reviewer: Leslie in Delaware

These are excellent! If you're low-carbing and miss bread or crunchy stuff like crackers these will fill the void. Not a lot of flavor but you can top them with tuna or peanut butter, etc. They're very filling with 5 g of fiber in a 2" x 3" slice. One thing to note, I think mentioned in another review - the packaging gives inaccurate carb count - each cracker is 7 carbs less 5 g fiber = 2 net carbs. That is on their website. Highly recommend!

This product is a nice treat for low carbers who want a high fiber-low-net-carb-hearty cracker. These crackers are excellent with crunchy peanut butter. They are very hearty. So, if you are looking for fiber and firmness, this one is for you. The taste is a bit bland. But, I enjoy them with my beloved peanut butter.

August 18, 2008 Reviewer: Hugo in California

Really satisfies my craving for something crunchy. Has a slightly bitter aftertaste. I recommend putting zero-calorie butter on it or dipping it in a zero-calorie chip dip. This is all fiber, so don't eat too much of it all at once. If I eat no more than half a package and wait at least a couple of hours 'til the next half-package, I have no problems. IMPORTANT, drink tons of water while and after you eat this. If you don't, even a small amount might cause the problems I alluded to, above. I also like breaking it up and putting it in soups.
