If anyone tries these you’ll have to let me know how they are! I’ve had the vitamins before and liked them but the shakes weren’t that good in my opinion so I’m curious how these will be!

Just saw at Meijer yesterday. Kettle Cooked Dill Pickle Chips. I didn't look at the info, because I probably would have walked out the door with them and cupboards are pretty full. Either way, they caught my eye, and quite honestly sounds really up my alley. So will be trying in the near future.1

Marshmallow Peanut Butter was one of them, and I agree -- the marshmallow taste does disappear the more you eat it, lol. I guess our tongue goes numb to the flavor? The peanut butter is very nice indeed. I doubt I'll ever go back to Halo Top. It's so icy and chemical tasting. I tried some of the new Arctic Zero flavors, and while I like them better than the old formulas, it still doesn't top Enlightened for me.
Has anyone seen No Pudge Brownie Mix in stores? I had it over ten years ago and suddenly remembered how great it was, lol. Fudgy, low cal brownies! But I can't seem to find it in stores anymore!
Where did you find the marshmallow peanut butter? I have been searching everywhere for it!
There is a copycat for the No Pudge Mix: http://www.geniuskitchen.com/recipe/no-pudge-brownie-clone-116219
And walmart sells a 6 pack online but $$$ https://www.walmart.com/ip/No-Pudge-Original-Fudge-Brownie-Mix-13-7-oz-Pack-of-6/173395101 -

I wouldn't say there's anything popcorn about it. Snores, the marshmallow peanut butter, cookies and cream and glazed donuts are the ones I really want to try. I'm buying the oatmeal cookie crunch Friday.
They closed all the Sam's clubs near me, this is the closest one now. I like some stuff there and it's the only place I buy the coffee I like. Doesn't hurt that I can save on tax for supplies for my business while I'm there. I try to go on Monday mornings.
@Ruatine here is a link to buy one get one free from enlightened.

OMG!! Thank you! I printed to 2 different emails... lol. Using the store locator there are lots more in my area than I thought and I have seen them in some stores that aren't listed too. Thanks again!0 -
Sooooo, because of the buy one/get one free Enlightened coupon (thanks, @melissa6771!), I stopped off at my local Vons to pick up a couple pints. The pickings were slim so I womaned up and got the cool brew and the chocolate chip cookie dough. I figured I'd taste test once I got home since I still had a 20 min walk. The cool brew was softened enough so I tried it and the coffee taste wasn't as bad as I thought it would be...just a bit less subtle than Halo Top's caramel macchiato.
I had to let the chocolate chip cookie dough softened for way longer but got to try it and the ice cream base seemed creamier than any other of the same flavor I've tried and I could definitely see and taste the chocolate chips but not so sure about the cookie dough part. Either way, it was pretty good!
My Vons stepped up its game on the Halo Top flavors so I'm hoping we get some of the newer Enlighteneds at some point.
I have yet to try the Breyer's or the Open Nature version of the light ice cream....
Any recommendations that I don't have to go back 900 pages for?

@glassyo and @thynes1313 glad you guys got them printed. I had my mom print some too and I made a couple,copies when I printed them. Have some sticking up to do myself. I stopped by wegmans on my way home today and they are almost wiped out of at least 4 flavors from the other day! Hopefully they restock by the weekend. Oh, and I stopped by the local target, no enlightened at all.
In other news I got these. Not sure they're new but new to me. 120 cal, 9 grams of fiber and good taste and texture. They come in peanut butter too which I will now pick up when I go there Tuesday.

I'm not a fan of cookie dough ice cream, but Enlightened cookie dough is in my top 10, if not my top 5, pints I would choose.2 -
New grain-free bars and 2 new flavors from WholeMe coming soon

My Wal-Mart closest to me does not have it but they have Malt-o-meal's brand and they're both Post, so I think I'll try them instead.0 -
I also finally decided to try the new Chilly Cow ice cream, and picked up the brownie flavor since you all said it was the best one. I love it but it sort of reminds me of the no sugar added fudgsicles fudge pops... which isn’t bad, but those things are only 40 calories per bar so next time I’m in the mood for chocolate I’ll get that instead. But heads up: Ibotta has a $2.50 rebate for Chilly Cow AND if you have Safeway’s app there’s a $2 coupon you can clip to your shopper’s card. I think I also saw something on coupons.com for it! I might have to try another flavor simply because that’s $4.50 off, so it’s almost free at that point!
The real reason I went to Safeway though was for those Scandal-less Ice Cream pints (which also has a $1 coupon in the app). I picked up chocolate peanut butter, cookie dough, and sea salt caramel since I didn’t want to take my chances on them being sold out again if I wanted to go back and try them.
The peanut butter is AMAZING. Not as dense of chunks as Enlightened, they’re softer but also very plentiful, thick, and a LOT better than Halo Top because it tastes more chocolatey AND more peanut buttery. It’s a very rich, dark chocolate base with a very sweet, gritty salty peanut butter swirl. Between the salty peanut butter swirls and darker chocolate base I think it actually ties with Enlightened, I can’t tell which brand I like more! VERY impressed!!!! Blows the Sweet Habit peanut butter out of the water. I can’t wait to try Safeway’s other flavors!

Open nature is sold at the shaws here. If it's the same open nature. I'll have to check that out.. I almost bought chilly cow at Walmart yesterday but decided against it. $3.98 there. I love that they're portioned out into half pints. I don't see a coupon on coupons.com. What's your zip? Sometimes changing that makes different coupons come up on there. Is the chilly cow icy? I hate that consistency.3

I was feeling annoyed that my local grocery stores either didn't carry Enlightened or only carried the boring flavors instead of flavors I *love* like the Fudge Brownie I got to try when I visited another state, but I stopped by Publix the other day, and THEY ADDED MORE FLAVORS!! They even have two of the new flavors! I didn't buy any because I have rules for what I spend on food (well under $6 for a pint of ice cream, <$1 for yogurt, etc.), but I can't wait to try them out when they go on sale! I also saw Chillyow! Those tubs looked small in the pictures posted here, but irl, they're a decent size for ~200 calories.
The Chilly Cow 1/2 pints are my favorite!!! Just finished a sweet cream and peanut butter for 190 calories!3 -

Not at all! I actually had it right after getting home so it was actually a bit soft, I’m hoping it gets a little harder sitting in the freezer longer but it’s definitely worth trying out! My zip is 21047, I hope you can find the coupon!

Has anyone ever tried this?
Grocery Outlet had this for around $6.99, but I didn't want to spend that much money without reading reviews.
I agree with the other poster, I have had the chicken cordon bleu, the fab and fit chicken cordon bleu, and the chicken parm.... great for when you don't want to cook. They are much cheaper here, usually under 4 dollars.1 -
@hgycta I grabbed the Olly "protein" cookies. Macros - 10g of protein per 190 calories, 8 grams of fat and 21 g of carbs/ 7 g of fiber.
I tried the berry flavor, and it tastes good, but it isn't anything like a cookie. The bar is dense but like a Clif bar, not like a Lenny and Larry's. It has a very oaty texture to it which is enjoyable, just not cookie-like. I liked the coating on the bottom. And it doesn't taste distinctly artificial. It has a very, very slight sweetener to it, but not as obvious as a Quest bar.
Be warned- it has pea protein in it which might be adding to the grittier texture.
Overall verdict - good tasting nutritional bar that can be part of a balanced diet. not a cookie. not a high protein food.

Yikes... thanks so much for that review (and for pointing out it has pea protein)! It definitely doesn’t sound like something I’d enjoy, I hate pea protein. But I’m curious, is it 190 calories per cookie or is that half a serving?
I let the Chilly Cow have more time to freeze and tried it again. I must admit, I do love that they’re portioned smaller so I don’t feel bad about having it with my breakfast!
The texture is A LOT better and I went from liking it to loving it. Very creamy texture, not icy at all. Doesn’t necessarily remind me of brownie batter since there’s not too many swirls (Enlightened has me spoiled), but it’s a really good chocolate ice cream when the craving hits!

How excited am I right now. Local grocery store had $1 off open nature so I got one to try. And... they have enlightened on sale for $3.50 until may 3rd. With the buy one get one free coupon I only paid $1.75 each. I'm going to stock up before the sale is over. I got oatmeal cookie crunch and red velvet today

Ooo, what store had the Enlightened sale?

@skelterhelter not sure where you live. The star market by me. I never go to that store but stopped there to get organic almond/cashew milk that was on sale. It was a nice surprise.0

As far as I’m concerned, the Sea Salt Caramel Scandal-less ice cream is another hit. I still like the chocolate peanut butter more (peanut butter-aholic over here) but when you’re in the mood for caramel this is a nice option. Maybe it’s because I had pancakes before this, but I swear it has a maple flavoring to it! Like the peanut butter pint, the swirls are there but for some reason are really hard to notice (making them fun surprises most of the time). Less artificial than Enlightened’s caramel and a tad more salty. Rather than a vanilla base, it tastes more like sweet cream. For 290 calories I couldn’t ask for more. Safeway did a really good job executing their store brand pints! I still have cookie dough left but I’m definitely going to be returning to stock up and try some other flavors.
But be warned, like Enlightened these get pretty rock solid in the freezer so thawing is required.

Per your good reviews on the open nature products I bought the mocha chip today. I'll give a review once I've tried it. I couldn't remember which flavor you said you liked so I went with one that other companies don't make that I like.2 -

I'm on Long Island, and I've never heard of that market. That's an awesome buy though! 0 -

Ooh, I saw the mocha chip and wanted to buy that one, but I was trying not to buy the entire line until I knew it wouldn't be disappointing (which thankfully I don't think it is at all)! I stuck with flavors I knew I generally like, but I'll definitely go back for the cookies & cream and mint. I'm a little hesitant with the mocha chip because I'm really caffeine sensitive so I don't to eat it at night and then be unable to sleep afterwards, but if you say it's good that one's going to inevitably end up in my cart since I have a weakness for coffee flavored things.
Speaking of coffee flavored things, this is on Candy Hunting's instagram and I'm pretty pumped.

So I had the calories for my Ben & Jerry’s PB Dough Moophoria pint. I was hoping to just think it was ok because very rarely do I have 640 calories to spend on dessert. But, alas, I though it was delicious. It was packed absolutely full to the top. The chocolate was dark and yummy and rich and satisfying. The chocolate chip PB dough chunks were plentiful and very satisfying. They tasted like peanut butter blossom dough, which I love. I noticed the chocolate chips in the dough because of the crunch but didn’t really taste them. I probably won’t purchase this often because of the higher calorie count and the fact that I can’t stand moderating ice cream and I want the whole pint, but if you are good at moderating, this one is a winner.3
