Interestingly it even looks like these natural trans fats *might* have some health benefits compared to the ones from hydrogenated plant oils (according to wikipedia). I think this company actually deserves some credit that they label something like this, I feel like most products make their serving size so small that you only see 0 g trans fats on everything now which is also BS.
The ingredients actually look really good to me, how did it taste?
It tasted delicious! Definitely can't complain about presentation or taste, and thank goodness I feel better now about the trans fats, thanks everyone!!0 -
Just found this stuff over the weekend. Ate one when I got home and immediately went back and bought more. The macros are great and I love that it's all ingredients I can pronounce! So far, I've had vanilla and espresso. Chocolate will be tonight. I left the ginger flavor at the store. They sell for $2.89/each here in Michigan, but were on sale when I bought them.
I've been buying these at Wegman's for several months now, I'm addicted but they're so much more money when you consider the price ratio to serving size ($2.49 where I get them so luckily cheaper but that's still $9.96 per pint worth). I've had the espresso, which I like the least-but still tastes amazing, and the vanilla and chocolate are definitely tied for my favorite (maybe the vanilla is a little better but I'm not normally a huge chocoholic so perhaps I'm biased). Haven't tried the ginger so if you get it let me know what you think, but normally I can't stand anything ginger flavored! Love how thick and creamy it is, and the nutritional info is so good I'm glad more people are finding out about them, I'd love them to come out with even more flavors!2 -
So I kind of want to vent real quick... I picked up Evol Food's new Butternut Squash Lasagna frozen entree from Target, and while I don't expect prepared meals like this to be the best for you, I find it so misleading they would use the terms "real food with simple, easy to recognize ingredients" to appear healthy while containing trans fats. Shame on them, right? Am I the only one here who gets frustrated by these claims?! They're misleading!
The canola oil is a likely source.0 -

I've seen them at Wegmans but the price tag is scaring me a little bit.0 -
Alright, can't find a picture and too lazy to take one, but I got the new Yoplait Greek whips 2%. They're 20 more calories than the other ones and IMO more filling. I'm a fan.0

Where were you able to find it?
If you have a Festival Foods, each one is supplying at their own rate. I have 4 within 10 miles. One has been supplying more and gradually added all the flavors, too.1 -
I just finished a bowl of Tiny Toast strawberry cereal and really enjoyed it. I was going to get something else, but I think my next box of cereal will be the blueberry flavor.
If you're interested, Kroger has a dollar off digital coupon. Ibotta also has a fifty cent rebate that expires on the tenth. Regular price is 3.45 according to the HEB app.0 -
I might add these to the weekly shop to try. Each ice cream is 60 calories / 2g fat / 6g carbs / 1g protein

Strawberries and cream and vanilla creme... there was another one but I don't remember. The package is red.0 -

How is the size of it (do you feel like you need to add anything)? What are the prices like?
I can be so hard for me to find frozen easy "meals" to keep on hand that I can actually eat. I keep running into issues of companies using soy in every dang thing (why does chicken have soy protein isolate in it???). Plus I have to stay away from other things as well so it makes it even more difficult. Some of these are safe so would be interested in looking for them.0 -

Size: The entree was about the size of my hand if I spread out my fingers, it's pretty comparable to the trays you'd get from Lean Cuisine or Amy's but it was also pretty thick (three layers of lasagna). I personally found it pretty filling, as a light lunch you wouldn't need to add anything most likely, but I had it for dinner and enjoyed it with a small container of Dannon's Light & Fit greek yogurt so that could have helped, too! Definitely worth trying out at some point.
Price: It was around 4 dollars I believe at Target, but I went to coupons.com and printed out a $1 off coupon so it wasn't too bad! I'm sure their website has coupons too, I just never checked because coupons.com seems to have some sort of coupon for that brand quite often

I love everything from SweetLeaf! I make my own at home now, since it's so much cheaper, though. Just submerge dried stevia leaves in vodka for a week and strain it out. If you wanted a vanilla-flavored extract, you could throw a piece of a split vanilla bean in, too.0 -
I tried MusclePharm's combat crunch protein bar in chocolate chip cookie dough last night and was blown away so I finally tried the birthday cake flavor tonight and was so disappointed, it taked fake and kind of lemon-ey, has anyone else here experienced this or was it just me?
Speaking of birthday cake bars, Ohyeah still has the best ONE bar version of it. They also came out with a new cinnamon roll flavor I'm surprised no one is talking about, anyone here see it or try it? I'm really curious what it's like!!

I agree with the birthday cake MusclePharm bar tasting lemony. I thought it was alright, but I'm not a big fan of any of their bars.0 -

Same. And the Fage crossovers are even better IMO (well.. the one flavor I dared trying).0 -

Someone mentioned they thought the bar reminded them of Fruity Pebbles.0 -

Tried two things tonight I've been meaning to:
Quest Mint Filled Keto Cups - I despised their vanilla filled keto cups (they were disgusting in my opinion), but I bought these regardless to try. I'm not normally a huge mint fan but these were exceptional and I take back everything I said about Keto Cups in the past! Very smooth, dark chocolate and the mint filling was better than a York Peppermint Patty! Very minty and smooth! I'm incredibly frustrated that I can't buy anymore off Quest Labs, they seem sold out! Better be releasing these is all I can say...
Arctic Zero Cake Batter Creamy Pint - I'll be honest, I was so frustrated in my inability to find their new flavors at the stores I purchased the pints online for my birthday (expensive but well justified since I did this instead of going out to drink or something more costly). So far I haven't been too impressed with what I've tried, and this is no exception. The creamy coconut was actually really good, but this cake batter was just lightly flavored cake ice. Definitely not a substitute for ice cream (can't even compare to Halo Top's version), just a slightly sweet treat that will fill you. Not worth buying again, but it wasn't terrible to where I couldn't finish it. Cookie dough is still my favorite, and I certainly look forward to trying the brownie blast which I've heard better things about.1 -
-
Still not in Quest labs here...
And I found the new Artic Zero flavors AND the Halo Top birthday cake flavor... but I'm just not spending $4.75 or $5.75 for a pint for something that just won't be as satisfying as real ice cream. It's just ridiculous.
So I guess I'm just laying off the ice cream for now...2 -

The Brownie Blast is yummy!!! Haven't been impressed with any of the other flavors. Wish I could find Halo Top in a store that's closer than 45 minutes away from me.1 -

I think they're closing Quest Labs because it won't let me view or post anything on the forums anymore and there's only a few things left on there to buy (a few flavors of the cereal bars and protein chips). They were having a ton of free shipping promotions for Quest Lab members so perhaps that was their way of getting rid of everything and mainstreaming the new products soon.
Also, I know that's a lot but I would totally try the Halo Top if I were you... at least one. I promise it's not disappointing like some Arctic Zero. It's super addicting!0 -
Yup! I can't believe you didn't buy the halo top!
I got in on that free shipping but only bought the zesty ranch and nacho tortilla chips. I'm low on protein powder but, honestly, it's cheaper on amazon and I can get free shipping there too (for a $49 order) and I don't need protein bars.0 -

$5.75 is just too much

I actually e-mailed Halo Top & asked if they could stock their flavors in a local store.
I think they said that I would have to tell my local grocer to request it.0
