Got whole box in some promotion of all the flavors, will review other ones when I get to them.
Vanilla almond.. I really really liked the texture and taste. No aftertaste. Not very almond tasting but pretty good would buy 7/10. I like better than the vanilla almond old formula quest bars, but those weren't on my favorite list. I feel like vanilla almond is always a pretty boring flavor so thats why not 8+ stars. I prefer chocolaty bars

I love this milk! It's super creamy, and pretty high in protein considering that it's non-dairy. It's actually made from peas and sunflower oil. 6 grams of sugar per cup isn't too bad, either.
I got 5 pints of the SO Delicious coconut milk ice cream using that cartwheel deal + some $1.00 off coupons that I had been hoarding. Each pint came out to $1.45.
I am a very, very happy girl right now.
Also, I think that SO Delicious must have reformulated their gluten-free cookie dough flavor with the package redesign. The old one had 170 calories and 16 grams of sugar per 1/2 cup. The new one has 210 calories and 19 grams of sugar per 1/2 cup. Sadness.

Did you guys try the Watermelon poptarts? I think they're pretty good.0

I love stroopwafels. Had them for the first time in Amsterdam. Just heaven. I compared these with the kind I get from the international grocery store near me. Not much difference in macros. But, if you don't have a international store to get them from, these might be worth a try. I'd go with caramel, since that's closest to the originals.

Where do you buy the Stroopwafel brand?
I just bought a few sample packs of Truetin to try in my nightly ice cream concoctions. I wish the Shamrock flavor was available in the sample pack size, but it must be out of stock.
What's everyone's favorite flavor of Quest protein powder or PEScience?
For the time being I've been using Cutler Nutrition Vanilla Cream (bought it at the Grocery Outlet) & Body Fortress Cinnamon Swirl whey.0 -
Ugh every time I scroll by the new package of Oreos it just makes me think YUCK, YUCK, YUCK!
I hope the Jelly Doughnut flavor wins in Wal-Mart's contest for their next exclusive flavor.
Oreo should bring back The Cotton Candy Oreo

My only experience with Trutein was their pudding and it was so disgustingly sweet that it ended in the trash. Sigh.
For Quest powder, vanilla or chocolate. The caramel one is a bit bland and just tastes too artificial for me.0 -
I didn't read through 178 pages, so my apologies if this has already been mentioned! But my new favorite is the Dang! Salted Cocoa Coconut Chips. They are freaking delicious! The small pack has only 115 cals and 8 net carbs, which is a lot better than the granola that I usually put in my greek yogurt. Bare Naked makes a version too, but I haven't tried that yet.

I usually find it kind of chalky and with a weird sour aftertaste, but I wanted a snack with decent protein and some sweetness so I decided to give it another go.
It was pretty solid (and chalky) on top, but the bottom was very runny. Tasty and with a nice texture after I realized it needed thorough mixing. I tried the bananas foster flavor, which had a light caramelized banana flavor, and bought several more.
If you describe Greek yogurt as chalky, you can't be buying the good stuff! Try a 4% fat one such as Chobani whole milk. They are super creamy and almost a bit buttery in flavour.
I've tried just about all of them, including the more unusual brands like Siggi's (gag). There are only a very few that I like. Ellenos is one, but only the plain. Their toppings are way too sweet for me. A couple of flavors of Noosa are good - not really Greek yogurt, though. There was another brand I posted about in this thread that was pretty decent but I can't remember the brand off the top of my head.0 -

I agree, except add Peanut Butter to that list. I didn't find the caramel bland, just artificial. The cookies & cream one was definitely bland though! The strawberry and banana were both good but after a 2 lb tub I was sick of it.0 -

I have a few I bought from GNC to try... only had the frosted cinnamon roll so far - it was only OK.0 -
They were probably the only new flavor I didn't really like. I've tried them all except for the Crush, but they're my next flavor.MayaSPapaya wrote: »Did you guys try the Watermelon poptarts? I think they're pretty good.
The bacon maple is probably my favorite.0 -

That looks amazing. Wish that we had a Trader Joe's where I live (just don't tell my boss that I said that!).0 -
Tried the cinnamon roll ONE bar; found it in the vitamin shoppe and it was the very last one! It was delicious compared to some other protein bars but honestly not nearly as indulgent as some pictures made it seem or as I thought it would be. It was really soft and made a good snack, but it didn't do anything for my hunger. Flavor wise better than quest, but I have to give it to quest, their bars are more filling than this one was. Perhaps I'm just being hard on it though, but MusclePharm's combat crunch bars are so much better honestly I don't know why they don't get more attention!0

I really liked the texture. Was in the middle of a quest bar and a oh yeah one! bar. It wasn't out of this world fantastic, but was very good and I'd eat again. I am waiting until the chocolate and other flavors come in though because I feel like almond/vanilla flavors are boring in general lol.joshperson195 wrote: »Noreenmarie1234 wrote: »

How's the texture??? Have you tried the Kirkland bars yet? You'd love them!
@hgycta I really liked it, maybe because I was really hungry at the time lol that tends to make things taste really good no matter what. I agree, they weren't filling at all. I don't find softer bars as filling as the chewier/denser ones. It was more of a cookie/banana bread texture. I tried the cookies and cream one and didn't like that one was just okay. Combat crunch are really popular, I always hear about them. I only like the outer coating of combat crunch bars though, not a fan of the chewy insides.0 -
Thank whoever(s) suggested this:
This is the first time I have tried non-dairy frozen desserts and it is SO GOOD. I could be a vegan. I'll just sit and eat these all day until I can audition as first vegan on My 600lb Life.

I just tried the Cashew milk Snickerdoodle yesterday, and I ate the entire pint. I'm not such a huge fan of the salted caramel, but the chocolate cookies and cream and the Snickerdoodle ones are seriously better than many ice creams I've had. I can't say that about most non-dairy "ice cream"!3 -

Hahaha, after I posted about it here, I took a pint of this and a pint of the Snickerdoodle to work for someone..and I think she hates me now! She's already off buying more.1 -
You know, I would agree. I've bought several different kinds of the non dairy, including the almond milk, soy milk, and rice milk, and none have grabed me quite like thsee have.mathandcats wrote: »CrabNebula wrote: »Thank whoever(s) suggested this:

Now it's making me hold out hope that DQ might one day offer a snickerdoodle blizzard...0 -
Tried frosted cinnamon roll: tasted pretty much exactly like oh yeah one! cinnamon roll lol. I would have to compare side by side to tell a difference. I liked the icing coating these had. They were very very soft so not filling like quest or other bars. 8/10
Also tried the cookie dough. Was surprised this bar had a totally different texture than the cinnamon roll! It was like a super super soft quest bar (like the new pure protein plus bars but even softer). I liked the taste, but was not amazing. I need to try the atkins ones because after quests, I haven't found anything close to as good. Had a few crunches in there. A little too soft for my liking. Felt like I was swallowing gum almost. I think it would be perfect if it was a little less smooshy and had a bit more chocolate chips. 6/10 I got a whole box so I will be eating again. Prob would buy, might try putting in fridge for a bit next time to make it more dense.
Chocololate brownie was same texture as cinnamon roll but a bit harder. It immediately reminded me of the little debbie cosmic brownies I used to eat as a kid. Really had the "brownie" flavor as opposed to the regular super strong chocolatey flavor most "brownie" flavored bars have. Good but not amazing. I like the power bar triple threat caramel brownie better. Might buy again, I will have to see if they grow on m since I have a whole box lol. 6.5/10
Overall I really like these bars because they have no weird aftertaste (I think because they use stevia and iso-IMOs as the fiber) opposed to corn fiber and sucralose.

Be careful w those flips and Chobani in general- the amount of sugar in Thor creates a massive insulin spike- kinda defeats the purpose0
