Most "diet" breads are either too dense and chewy, or so paper thin that it's like eating air. Not this one. The slices are big and hearty, and taste just as good as the real deal. If you can find this stuff, you'll be hooked, I promise. I found mine at Shop Rite.
I saw this bread before but never really noticed it or even looked at the macros! Thanks for letting us know it is good. I'll buy it next time because I have been getting sick of my usual sara lee 45 calorie one and like that they have italian flavor

I don't know if anyone's posted about this yet, but I had a feeling this was a bad idea before buying it. The onions started burning before anything else even started browning. Some of the larger brussels sprouts were okay, but the smaller ones were mushy. The butternut squash was nothing but mush. I guess if someone could only eat soft foods this would be a good idea.
I'm not one of the people who manage to roast frozen veggies and not make them mushy lol.
Because its not possible really.
I've found if you roast in 425-450 degrees, and open to let the steam/moisture out every 8-10 minutes it helps a lot.
I don't think anything could've helped that butternut squash. I'll just be sticking to fresh vegetables from now on for roasting.
I've done frozen veggies in the toaster oven and it worked okay. I microwaved them first, then seasoned, sprayed with cooking spray and put in the toaster oven under the "toast" option.3 -

I love that bread!!! I’ve also seen it in Walmart! I didn’t realize it was low calorie either until I went to log it one time after seeing my dad bought it a couple months ago! Personally I do like the thin slim breads more because I enjoy how they’re chewier/more filling, but you’re right, the slices are MUCH more like the real deal and you’d never know it was “diet” bread!3 -

It seems to only be available in the mid-Atlantic. I love the Italian kind. So soft. Aldi has a similar bread as well for everyone not fortunate to live in this part of the USA, but the macros are slightly different. Still 40 calories for 28g and soft.
I'm in NY and hadn't seen it anywhere else but my local Shop Rite. It's amazing and I hope they never stop carrying it.2 -

It's excellent! I think you'll be pleased. The only low calorie bread I enjoyed before this was the Sara Lee Butter Bread and Aldi's Fit and Active (which is still only mediocre to me. Good enough but not blowing me away. I just don't really enjoy multigrain bread all that much). The 647 white bread is incredible.1 -

Yes, I heard it was at Walmart too but never saw it in one around here. I lucked out with Shop Rite. They better not discontinue or I'll be pissed! Lol1 -

I think Walmart might have it on a special displayer either neither the bread or in the bakery?1 -
If anyone really likes pumpkin pie, the seasonal pumpkin pie blizzard at DQ is fantastic! Lots of pieces of real pie in it 😋2

I have found it in the regular bread aisle. I only live an hour from the place who makes the bread though, so I think it may be a regional thing.

Finally tried these... HIGHLY RECOMMEND. These are AWESOME. Way better than when I went to Cinnabon! Plus it’s less calories than Cinnabon and is still really big, definitely getting these again

skelterhelter wrote: »has anyone taste-tested all the different brands of pumpkin pie/pumpkin spice yogurts? Are they any good? I'm headed to the grocery store tonight and I need recommendations for which (if any) to try first!
I really like the other flavors of chobani flips, so I'm kinda leaning toward that one, if i can find it
I actually love the Dannon Light and Fit Pumpkin Pie. Delicious and only 80 calories
Late to the pumpkin pie yogurt game, but just yesterday I had the Simply Balanced pumpkin pie yogurt (Target brand) and just about fell in love with it. Pretty good calorie-wise for 2% yogurt (130 cal for standard 5.3oz cup). Had little white bits in it that weren't hard but added a nice texture. Very thick as well.2 -

I also went back to that red velvet recipe I posted earlier, this time following the directions for the cream cheese glaze properly. It turned out amazing!!!!
Not sure about the cream cheese glaze, but the pancakes themselves I usually get about ten 1/4 cup servings out of them. Each 1/4 cup serving pancake has roughly 235 calories. So not exactly diet friendly, but if you’re like me and miss the red velvet ihop pancakes this is definitely a splurge worth trying!7 -

These were great! The crystals reminded me of the Peep Oreos (the purple ones), which I also loved. They're definitely better than the previous peppermint Oreos.
I was going to wait for more reviews, but I then saw a coupon on the package and remembered that I am a sucker for all things peppermint anyways, so I bought the cookies. They only lasted two days. Lol.
Unfortunately (or fortunately? xD) they're only at the Walmart farthest from me right now, but online sources say that they should be in other stores after next week!

Trader Joe's Candy Cane Joe Joe's have crushed candy canes in them for that crunch factor.
I've had the gluten free version and they are excellent. My gluten eating husband thought they were delicious too.4 -

I hope I don't see those because they sound delicious also0 -
Got these samples. Tried the banana bar. Nice size for 140 calories but was very bland and boring. I would not buy. Kind of tasted like whole grain bread. Not sweet AT ALL. I’ll be giving away the rest lol.
The gingerbread cookie was good though. Reminded me that the quest gingerbread is very off base even compared to a mediocre cookie like this... I was so excited for that flavor too but they just are missing the gingerbread cookie flavor.
Also I had regular nature valley side by side Wegmans crunchy ones and Wegmans are 10x better. Much sweeter and have more of a “nutter butter” peanut butter flavor. Nature valley has more of a unsweetened natural peanut butter flavor. Sorry to bring them up again I just have been LOVING the Wegmans ones lol.0 -

New to me. Pistachio was my favorite followed by the caramel then lemon.1 -

I've been meaning to try those for the past 3 years. It's silly, I know, but every winter, I've been forgetting to get them or passing them up in favor of other Trader Joe's seasonal products. I don't always trust myself to carry more than one peppermint treat at home, so I will choose just one thing to buy at a time. If I had something at home already or if I saw something I knew I'd love more (like the Trader Joe's Peppermint Chocolate Bar Bark), then it meant no Joe Joe's for me. I'll hopefully try them one day.0 -

Lol. Honestly, they were almost gone in one day. I ate about two rows the day I bought them and one row the next day. Part of me thought "Tomorrow is not promised. Eat all the cookies!
" but my discipline/willpower won out. It also helped that it was approaching 8 pm, and I had to get ready for bed.
Interestingly, the cookies were exactly the 313 gram net weight stated on the package:
