    I tried the olive oil and cracked pepper mayo and had to throw it out because it was too peppery for me, and I like things heavily spiced.

    I like these, for example, a Costco find, though at 440 calories a bowl it's not exactly health food. It's good for a warm, filling, cheap, portable, quick lunch, though. Nissin Hot & Spicy Bowl Noodles

    I'll have to pick up the Gingerbread Cliff bar for sure.

    Went to GNC today and almost got the Quest pumpkin pie but I passed, I know a lot of people find them too sweet. They only had the chocolate chip cookie Lenny and Larry's so I passed too, as I ordered a box of them (they're still back ordered but I'll get them eventually, I just hope GNC doesn't end up canceling my order, I got them very cheap!).

    I bought these because why not.

    And yeah I did buy this too before they run out (and more of the pumpkin spice cookie butter)

    Will probably make it this week sometimes.

    What did you think of them?

    11906417_1143588828988654_742777252_n.jpg

    My favorite was the cashew butter glazed donut, to die for 11/10
    The cake batter 10/10
    Carrot cake was good, but tasted more like cinnamon raisin than carrot cake 9/10
    Chocolate chip 10/10

    I'm still debating if I want to buy these. Do they taste similar to a glazed donut/cake batter?

    I haven't read this entire thread yet, so don't know if anyone has mentioned PB2. It's not exactly new but it is quite an amazing product. It has a nice taste of peanut butter but only 10% of the calories. You can mix it with water and use as a spread -- but I don't care for it that way, as it's kind of unsatisfying (if you're a diehard peanut butter fan like I am). I mostly use it to flavor other foods: I use a teaspoon in my morning oatmeal, plus I put a little spoonful in my sugar-free fat-free vanilla yogurt, along with a tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder. I highly recommend this if you love peanut butter and chocolate (and who among us doesn't?)...

    This brand was new to me and the flavors I grabbed were really great! Both were on the dense and chewy side, the blueberry more than the chocolate. The blueberry one also had plenty of fruit bits. I would definitely try some of their other flavors. Yum!

    Discovered these at my local Natural Market the other day! The apple pie was decent, but I'm not a huge Apple person. The double chocolate decadence was AMAZING. When microwaved, I couldn't tell the difference between the cookie and a regular brownie. That being said, half a cookie is 220 calories and only 3g of protein o.o

    I tried the b up sugar cookie protein bar yesterday. I grabbed one while I was restocking on quest. While I was mildly disappointed that there were no rainbow sprinkles :disappointed: it was freaking delicious. I loved how chewy it was.... kind of like a soft baked cookie.

    I actually won a bid recently on eBay and scored 12 of these bars for around $9 including shipping o: I totally agree with you though, although I feel like they'd get old kind of fast. Has anyone tried their new Jammin bars with filled insides? I'm dying to try one!!

    I bought their Apple Pie A La Mode Jammin' bar but haven't gotten around to trying it.

    Today I tried the Combat Crunch Chocolate Cookie Dough Bar.

    The bar must be good since it took me a decent amount of time to eat it. The bar has a dense chocolate outer shell & a cookie layer inside. It didn't taste much like cookie dough, but it reminded me of eating a candy bar with better nutritional information. I will definitely try this one again.

    They have a store locator right on their website on yupbrands! I wrote to them out of curiosity of sending samples; unfortunately they don't send out freebies, but they did tell me that all their bars have free shipping, even if you were to order only one. :)

    For all of you that receive coupons/free samples - do you e-mail the company asking for them to try OR are you part of a membership (like a monthly one) where you pay to try them?

    I've never paid for any membership to try food. The only time I paid to "try" food was when I bought ThinSlim's sampler pack recently, which I used a 50% coupon for from signing up for their emails. I usually email the company directly on their website; whenever contact information isn't provided (such as with B-Up), I will write them an actual letter and mail it in, but that's only when I find myself bored and have extra time (helps that I live close to the post office).
    If you follow a company's social media you can generally win free things, as well. I actually was one of Entenmann's lucky winners and received 52 product coupons up to $7 for their free donuts for a year giveaway >.>

    The yupbrands website has mini sugar cookie, mint, and pb protein bars! You have to buy a box of 45 of them but...MINI!

    (I'm still buying one of each full size flavor I want to try first.)

    Ok made this

    trader-joes-pumpkin-cornbread-mix.jpg?w=394&h=499

    More cakey than a regular cornbread, was more like a muffin really, but good, just a calorie bomb. I wonder if the consistency is similar with their regular cornbread. Will have to see. As it is I won't buy it again.

    I tried these! The gingerbread was my favorite! Sugar cookie was good, but just tasted like vanilla pb.

    Yes! The gingerbread flavor is the one that had me most excited. Glad to hear it was your fav.

    I've been on a bit of a protein hype the past few weeks and was really looking around for some good bars and found Quest Bars, I bought the 'Cookies and Cream' and 'Double Chocolate Chunk'. They're horrible, they taste like artificial sweetener and salt, and I can never stomach more than half a bar in one sitting, I've found that they're more palatable when cold, although that means they're harsh on your teeth. But despite all that, they're really good for you, and not a bad (even if horrid tasting) filling snack for on the go.

    I'm interested in trying the Quest Protein chips though, and have bought some BBQ flavoured ones which I'm still waiting on in the post. Fingers crossed they taste better than the bars, and also better than 'Protein Bites' by Novo which carry a very strange taste regardless of flavour.

    I've tried the Quest Protein chips. The Sea Salt is the best of the 4. For only 120 calories with 21g protein, it's a very good alternative to regular chips/ I've bought those on several occasions. :) I'll pass on the others

    I like the Quest Protein chips a lot. All 3 I've tried are good. Sea Salt, Cheddar, and BBQ.

    +1; the others are okay, but the Sea Salt is the best. IMO.
