That Snickerdoodle cashew milk ice cream is my kryptonite. I cannot ever buy it again unless there is some mythical day I'd have calories for the whole pint.4

I tried the donuts today & while it was tasty it was messy & it would have been nicer to have the doughnuts portioned out in serving sizes & the same for the glaze.3 -
Cashew milk is by far my favorite nut milk. I wish I could find So Delicious snickerdoodle. HEB carries mint, chocolate, and vanilla1

Found these at Vitamin Shoppe. They are really good! They come in several flavors. Protein bars taste like metal to me. These don't.

Has anyone tried the Almond Nog from Target? I forgot what brand, but I saw it tonight and it looked intriguing.0

I got bag resealers for my birthday. I used them on a bag of Trader Joe's turkey stuffing chips last week. They tasted just as good as they did when I opened the bag initially. It's a little annoying to use, but I'd say it's worth it.
If any of you guys try making your own Quest-like protein bars, I think this is the stuff that gets recommended as a sweetener. I just got an email saying they're liquidating some stock and are selling some set to expire April 2017 for $5.0 -
I finally tried the new Piller's Dry Salami Chips in the hot variety. They were yummy, though not as dry as I'd honestly hoped for. One big criticism however would be package weight v. actual weight of this product.
The package states that the total product weight should be 85g. The nutritional info states a 1/2 pack (43g) is a serving and that there are two servings per bag obviously. I weighed it because accurate logging is life and it was 167 GRAMS! So any lay person or not obsessed logger would be eating twice as many calories as they intended by following the info. Annoyed me greatly for other people since it is a calorie dense product

I looked on the Halo Top website and they said they were sold at the Kroger by me so I was planning on that for dinner (I know, it's been a tough day) but they ended up not having it I got Arctic Zero cake batter flavor instead but it's super gross
I searched all over the freezer section at Kroger on several occasions as they have had it advertised for weeks. Almost gave up yesterday again when I found a "stray" pint in with the ice cream. Finally found it on the end cap.

I normally don't care for cashew milk, but their Snickerdoodle flavor is definitely an exception to that rule! Even my father has issues with not eating the entire pint in one sitting and that man mocks dairy free ice cream!!Has anyone tried the Almond Nog from Target? I forgot what brand, but I saw it tonight and it looked intriguing.
If you're referring to Califia Farm's Holiday Nog then yes, I have! Honestly, by itself it can't compare to regular eggnog. Very watery and not too eggy tasting at all. This being said, I discovered if you use it in place of regular almond milk when blending protein powder (for a small portion you could use 1/2 cup holiday nog, 1/2 scoop protein powder, and ice) it's truly magical. I love blending it with Quest's vanilla milkshake powder! The chocolate wasn't anything special, but the vanilla did wonders to it and tasted like the Egg Nog Shake I miss from McDonald's :')
Speaking of Target, this was on their cartwheel app 40% off plus it was on sale so I couldn't NOT try it, I mean, do you see that pancake flavor right there?
I really can't stand any sort of chai, so I doubt I'll be even opening those packets but I tried the Apple Cheddar Rosemary and Lemon Ricotta Pancake flavors. Surprisingly, I think I like the apple cheddar rosemary the best! It sounds so weird and off-putting, but it was very savory and delicious. The lemon ricotta pancake flavor wasn't bad, it was just like lemon oatmeal and didn't remind me one bit of pancakes. I really respect Quaker for having all the flavors in one box unlike Lay's chips where you needed to buy each family size bag to try the various flavors.5 -

I ended up finding it at another Kroger in the more affluent part of town. I got the Birthday Cake flavor, and it definitely blew Arctic Zero out of the water! So good. I didn't see the caramel one there but I'm really excited to try that one when I find it.0 -

I'd email the company! Packaging/ printing mistakes are more common than you realize. If it was a production error, and it hasn't already been corrected, they'll want to know. A deviation that large could be costing them a bunch of money.1 -

Oh I did, I have to hope it was a fulfillment error since the total weight and the suggested serving matched up correctly. Makes me very glad I weigh everything!1 -

YIKES that discrepancy is scary. I don't always weigh packaged things now that I am in maintenance and am not trying to stick to a strict amount.....but WOW. Goes to show how easy it is to eat way more than you think you are.0 -
BTW the saltiness in the trader joes salted caramel covered crackers was just perfect. Not overwhelmingly salty but enough to perfectly compliment the chocolate. I don't know if you would like if you aren't into sweet and salty things but I love all things sweet and salty so it was DELICIOUS. SORRY I didn't respond sooner, been super busy with finals.

Tried Halo Top's Pistachio flavor. It was delicious but also more subtle nutty flavor and not sweet enough for me to get again. Tomorrow I'll be trying the oatmeal cookie one, the last chance at finding one better than the sea salt caramel :')0

Found these at Vitamin Shoppe. They are really good! They come in several flavors. Protein bars taste like metal to me. These don't.
Just FYI, Target online has the best prices I've found: 17.99/box of 12. (And, if you subscribe it's 5% off AND if you have the Red card it's *another* 5% off.)
If anyone's done better, please let me know, 'cause after Raw Rev Glo, Oatmega is my go-to bar.0 -

LOL thanks. I might take a pass because I'm the person who will vigorously rub off the two little pieces of salt on salted caramel chocolates.
Plus those crackers better be damned big at 120 calories each!0 -

The HT flavor releases was a beta test, and they are constantly working to improve the recipes. Pistachio could definitely use some work...
I think the pistachio would be better if it had some real pistachio pieces in it but oddly I really like it. The oatmeal cookie is my favorite. I want to try the peanut butter cup but I can't find it. I don't guess I've tried a flavor I flat out didn't care for.

Thanks for the tip! At Vitamin Shoppe now they are buy 5 get 1 free so the final bill after 12 was like $19.98. I usually look for the best price but have run out fast (my daughter is eating them too!) so I get them there.2 -

I agree about the pistachio pieces altho I wasn't too impressed with the almond pieces in the chocolate almond crunch one.
After I finish the pint of pistachio, I have the chocolate chip cookie dough and peanut butter cup ones to try. I try to save the best for last (altho I am DEFINITELY going to have to buy more cookies and cream).0 -

This stuff is to die for! So delicious!
I bought a small jar of this because I couldn't be trusted with the larger jar of the Trader Joe's cookie butter and I wanted to see if they tasted the same. I like the Trader Joe's version better but I impressed myself by actually logging every serving of the Biscoff jar. (I don't with the Trader Joe's version. It's pretty much just me, the jar, and a spoon. The scale usually takes a hike at this point.) 3 -
Great stuff with crepes or waffles, in my case, as long as you dont expect this to be real peanut butter. Cause come one, how can it be. But it does have a great great taste. Also there are actual raising in it and it does smell like cinnamon haha Another great find, to me, from Waldens.
After the horror of trying the original peanut spread, I am never touching their stuff again! Minus the pancake syrup and the spicy BBQ sauce was "ok".1 -

I still get nauseous when I think of the peanut butter spread lol. It was years ago maybe the pb is better now?? I do love their honey dijon dressing, coffee creamer and syrups.1
