    These NEOH bars are definitely heavy on the erythritol and I can see where a lot of people might not like it, but personally, I adore them! Thanks so much @Noreenmarie1234 for telling me to contact the company!!! I’m absolutely buying more once I run out! Melted some from being in my hot purse all day, but still good!

    Glad you liked them! Do those flap jacked things just taste like homemade protein mug cakes? They look exactly like the same texture.

    Pretty much, yeah! Honestly, I didn't notice any difference versus these and taking Kodiak Cake's protein pancake mix, measuring out around 55 grams in a cup, stirring it with water, and microwaving it for about 40-55 seconds. It's mainly for the convenience of already being in a cup for you, but you can totally do it yourself cheaper.

    These were the only two Walmart had, but I’m excited to have found them before that Ibotta offer expired! Do you guys normally refrigerate them beforehand or just drink them plain? Do you normally have one, two, or more?

    I also saw the Halo Top Peanut Butter & Jelly pints finally in stock, but no So Delicious Mousse pints yet :(

    I don't refrigerate the Fortos myself, but I don't like really cold stuff. I imagine the Hersheys one would be great ice cold though.

    I’m in the same boat I prefer bottled coffees room temperature, so I didn’t put them over ice or refrigerate them. So glad I didn’t because they were great and I could taste the flavor much more!

    Tried the banana caramel Flapjacked this time. Like the peanut butter & jelly flavor, again, I’m not impressed. Good texture just not sweet enough and not at all filling. This time I used a little syrup as suggested (the only sugar free syrup I like is Lakanto because I don’t notice an aftertaste) and it definitely made it better! But I wouldn’t get it again.

    I still have the rest of that sampler pack to get through, so I figured I’d experiment a little. I mixed in 20 calories worth of rainbow sprinkles before I cooked the PB & J one. Then I topped it with 2 tablespoons of SF maple syrup. It tasted good. As a swap for a protein bar, it holds up pretty well.

    I was about to say — that looked NOTHING like mine!!! I didn’t even think of adding stuff... might be adding some powdered peanut butter to the pb&j one next time and some mini dehydrated cereal marshmallows! You’re a genius!

    Also, I went to a farm today and found this stuff. If anyone hasn’t tried blueberry mustard but sees it — get it!!! I tried a sample by itself and it was phenomenal but the lady there said it’s best on some soft pretzels!

    I had thought about adding PB2 to the Flapjacked mix! Let me know if you try it.

    I couldn’t resist trying the Hershey’s Forto today. I really liked it. I’d definitely buy more if it was on sale. $1.99 each is a lot for just a few sips.

    I’ve been making a salad dressing out of a few teaspoons of maple mustard, 2 tablespoons of SF maple syrup, and 2 tablespoons of rice wine vinegar. I’ll bet that blueberry mustard would make a fantastic salad dressing (baby spinach, fresh blueberries and strawberries, some toasted walnuts + whatever else)

    I don't really use salad dressing all that often, but that does sound like a good idea! I had some on a turkey sandwich and it was DELICIOUS.

    Also, @vnb_208 thank you for posting that Enlightened offer! I took off work today so I would have totally forgot to check! I went to Giant today and got the Red Velvet flavor, for some reason Shoprite stopped carrying that one around me and it's one of my favorites so I'm quite upset!

    Found it!

    lobster_chips.jpg

    They're really good, but I wouldn't guess the flavor at all... just tastes like sour cream and onion or

    I tried the lobster roll ones and loved them! They definitely dont taste like lobster, more of like the seasonigs you'd use in a seafood boil. Lots of seasoning and dangerously delicious for me 😉

    Thanks, @vnb__208! I'm gonna head to the store today and pick mine up! I might have to try the Chocolate PB everyone raves about! I wasn't crazy over the PB Chip, so maybe this is better :)

    The chocolate PB is 10000x better than the PB chip!!! I’m not too crazy about the PB chip either personally, and the chocolate PB is 40 less calories so that’s always nice! You’d swear it’d be a lot more!!

    Excited to find the PB & J to try and also picked up this Skinny Cow PB one. I’ve had all the rest of them. Has anyone tried the Skinny cow PB and liked it?

    Macros are actually pretty fair. Around 200 calories, 15g protein.

    Cold brew is another one of my favorites! Personally I think it tastes a lot like an ice cream version of Chick-fil-A’s frosted coffee drink :)

    I like that it's thick,has a kind of "chewyness" to it that seems to fill me up but everyone is different of course :)

    Usually with Enlightened I'll put it in the microwave for around 30 seconds & it then gets to the right creaminess without being overly soft.

    Just make sure you look at the time when you put it in the microwave, because at work I put the Chocolate Peanut Butter flavor in for 3 minutes :D:'(. It was a delicious soup at least.

    Thank God I don't live near any Cinnabon locations. I wonder how many calories? Probably at least has to be 900-1400.

    For those that have Grocery Outlets they had Quest White Chocolate Raspberry cases of bars for $11.99! The bars don't expire until October so I picked up two boxes. I wish they had CCCD, but I like White Chocolate Raspberry just as much.

    A churro at Costco has 540 calories and they’re not that big, Cinnabon says their 3 ounce churro has 290 cal so if it’s the same size as that that’s 580 right there. I wonder to how much frosting they use. Cream cheese frosting is about 65 cal a tablespoon. I’m dying to know. I want to go to Cinnabon or call one and see the calorie count is there. LOL

    Does anyone have any blueberry mustard recipes by any chance? I probably won’t get a chance to go back to this farm and it is INSANELY delicious on warm pretzels!!! I’ve been looking for an excuse to try these Walmart pretzels, I can’t believe I’m using 390 calories on bread with salt but here I am, not regretting any of it. 10/10

    OMG I need that! That snack is right up my alley. All that salt YUMM! I would definitely buy that mustard if I come across it. I've had cherry mustard before and it was amazing.

    I picked up a Redcon1 blueberry cobbler MRE bar from my local Vitamin Shoppe... haven't seen them before.

    I thought it was very tasty, had a nice coating and a little crunch. It contains sucralose, malitol (among others) and has that aftertaste similar to a Quest bar. So, if you aren't into them you probably won't like this. I'd give it a 7 out of 10 and will be trying other flavors in the future.

    Has anyone else tried it or one of the other flavors?

    I just got some too, and I had the peanut butter one. I really liked it as well. I didn't taste any aftertaste on this one, and I hate regular quest bars. I also got the blueberry cobbler and sprinkled donut. I'll post when I try them.

    Just tried the oatmeal chocolate chip flavor and am not getting that aftertaste this time. Maybe it was the white coating on the blueberry cobbler flavor. This was very tasty as well. I think these may be my go-to bars in the future.

    But they're healthier calories since it's baked and not fried!

    Okay WOW I am so jealous my state fair has nothing like this in terms of food. We just have your boring standard fried food. I would need to do quick marathon so I could fit in everything I’d want to try, lol.

    @Noreenmarie1234 I feel you, my state fairs are lame in comparison with the food vendors here!!! I see a bag of cotton candy and get happy, meanwhile this one has a full blown rainbow cloud roll that looks like cotton candy/ice cream sushi!!!

    One question though, what the heck is Cold-smoked Cream Smoked Soft Serve Ice Cream? I consider myself a foodie to some degree, but I have NEVER heard of this...
