    I don't drink coffee but I've said more than once that I think Starbucks needs to have taste demos of their drinks. Some look so good!

    There was a store near my office that used to do them. Not so much in the last year or so. I loved it as often I found the tiny sample size was really all i wanted of those sweet drinks :P So I got to indulge without fulling commiting.

    I feel bad for the baristas who have to make this for all the preteens (and me). 😆

    It’s banana candy flavored... eh. Not sure how I feel about it??

    Banana candies have never been something I enjoyed, but neither were sour mangoes yet I couldn’t stop getting the unicorn Frappuccino solely for its colors... so I’m definitely their target market for this xD I might get it the second I get off work if I can haha

    Also, a Sprouts just opened today near my house. Does anyone have anything they suggest getting there? I get way more excited about food stuffs than I should, and I will eat absolutely anything except for black licorice :p if they have anything taro, purple ube, black sesame, or cotton candy, I need to know ASAP what and where! I’m hoping to find the glazed donut enlightened after all this time, but I don’t want to get my hopes up too high haha

    I didn't see Glazed Donut at Sprouts the other day, but they had about 12 Enlightened choices.

    Never tried any of this stuff so I’m pretty excited! Couldn’t find the glazed donut enlightened but they had the macaron flavor which I’ve also been unable to find and just forgot about!
    Also, I’ve heard some people rave about the beyond burger patties, does anyone have any serving suggestions for making them? :)
    I loved all the options and store brand stuff they sold! If anyone has any favorites on Sprout’s wraps, desserts, salads, sushi, or frozen entrees please let me know! I impulsively bought the jackfruit fajita entree since I’ve never tried jackfruit, either. One trip down, next up is Starbucks for that tie dye Frappuccino xD

    I go to Sprouts specifically to buy their Sprouts-brand chicken gyoza potstickers. They are sooooo good!

    At Giant I bought the Planters Cheez Balls & the Cheez Curls.

    I'll have to look for them at my giant!

    My Giant had it on a display by the organic section.

    It tastes better than the unicorn Frappuccino but worse than every other Frappuccino xD
    Definitely banana laffy taffy flavored (not a positive attribute for me), but the whipped cream is actually really good at least!

    I was curious about this. I came looking in here for the sole purpose to see if anyone reviewed it! I think I'll pass if it's banana laffy taffy flavored. lol

    Curiosity got the best of me so I tried it! Mine wasn't overly banana flavored. It was more mixed fruit flavored. I could taste a lot of pineapple and orange along with the banana. I liked it, but not enough to get it again.

    Enlightened’s Cookies & Mint dairy free pint is even better than their mint dairy ice cream pint.... I’m seriously in disbelief with all of these!
    Not the best picture because I was watching a tv show but definitely one of my new favorites. Awesome taste! Reminds me of real, full dairy, full calorie ice cream 10/10

    I agree! I think it's awesome!

    YES It's VERY good. I am allergic to dairy protein so have to use alternatives. This company also has plain sour cream and french onion dip. My husband who can eat dairy says it is better than some dips he has tried.

    Interesting 8jlcap7v8gtr.jpeg

    Wait...what?

    Duck DNA = Duck

    Dairy DNA =/= Dairy?

    Also, if it is true, I'm feeling the same way about this as lab-grown meat...

    Did a side by side comparison of crunchy tacos from Taco Bell and Burger King. I’m torn.
    Burger King’s has a much crunchier tortilla that tasted like fresh fried tortilla chips from an authentic Mexican restaurant whereas Taco Bell’s felt more fake and less thin; Burger King’s didn’t fall apart on me nearly as much as Taco Bell’s did. However, in terms of the meat I like Taco Bell’s way more. I don’t know what Burger King uses, but it wasn’t good at all. I know neither of them are real meat or anything close to it, but Burger King’s was REALLY fake and made Taco Bell’s seem more authentic, which says a lot...
    Overall, both are tied. I would have given BK’s a 10/10 until I got to the inside, then it fell to a 5.5/10
    Both are 170 calories

    As much as it pains me to say this, Enlightened does have ONE bad dairy free pint. Chocolate Almond Macaron. Visually it’s very indulgent looking, but it tastes like every other diary free ice cream out there. It even has a pea protein taste to it, even though there’s supposedly none in there. Reminded me a little of the Wink pints (not quite AS bad, but not much better). The almond flavor is strong which didn’t bother me, but I could see it being too strong for others.
    Overall this was the most artificial tasting one that left a bad aftertaste and had an arctic zero frozen dessert texture to it. 2/10
    It’s a shame because all the other dairy free flavors are solid 9 or 10/10s!

    Not sure if the sales at all Shoprite stores are the same or not, but just a heads up the ones near me are having this sale through July 6th!!!

    They’re also having this sale on Culture Republics light ice cream, I’ve never seen them has anyone here tried them??

    culture republick is by far the best light ice cream, in my opinion. Matcha fudge & milk and honey are the best flavors. Great texture

    I mean, if nothing else the fudge portion is good, but definitely don’t let it set the standards for the other flavors!!

    Shucks I really wish I knew this when it was on sale haha but maybe I’ll splurge anyways! I’m not a huge matcha person so I’ll keep an eye out for milk and honey, thanks!!!

    OMG The Perfect Bar in Peanut Butter Coconut (and I usually hate coconut) or Blueberry Cashew or Walnut Brownie!!!!! AMAZINGLY delicious! and if you microwave for about 10-15 sec, they're heavenly! All-natural ingredients (so natural that they need to be refrigerated) and made local to me in San Diego, CA :).

    So I figured I'd get it over with and stuck in the microwave for maybe half a minute and...I kinda liked the ice cream part. It was the fudge I didn't like. It had a weird taste to it so maybe the pea protein taste migrated into it?

    I won't buy it again but at least it's not a total loss. :)
