Can be a new product you're loving or a simple ingredient you can't live without.

Me? Coconut manna. Love it! Also into homemade cucumber feta dip with fresh vegetables ...

    Eat Me Guilt Free Protein Brownies; specifically the chocolate brownie, chocolate peanut butter bliss brownie, and chocolate hazelnut brownie flavors. I have one with a glass of unsweetened vanilla almond milk almost every night after dinner. 180 calories for 22g of protein with only 7g of carbs, 4g of sugar, and 6g of fat. No other protein brownie has come close to these for me. They taste even better when you microwave them for 15 seconds.

    Can you buy these in store or only online? I personally find $40 for a box of 12 brownies to be absolutely outrageous... however, if I could buy one here or there to enjoy, I might be sold. They sound good.

    I know they do wholesale, but I always buy mine online; I've never seen them sold in my area. They have sales often, so I buy in bulk when they do so that I'm never paying full price. They usually do 20% off, BOGO 50% off, etc. Also, there are 12 in a box so that's ~$3.33 per brownie at full price which isn't too bad but again, I'd buy during sales to save money. They also have a sampler box for $18.

    Double post.

    Edit: Since I accidentally double posted, I'll also say Raw Rev Glo Dark Chocolate Espresso Crunch bars. I have one every single morning for breakfast with a cup of black coffee. I never get tired of them and always look forward to waking up and having one.

    Kind of playing around with various protein bars; moving to less cooked food (especially solids) for hot weather months.

    Favorite brands??

    Eh kind of prefer "One" but mostly trying out various Quest flavors (favorites: smores, chocolate donut, birthday cake....not so great (decent): chocolate brownie, cookie, any of the PB flavor combos (just disappointing vs. nut butters, cashews, pistachios, etc.), sweet flavored ones

    Some foods I like are Montréal bagel, zataar seasoning, knorr chicken bullion in a container. I also recently tried stevia. It’s interesting to try it for the similar taste sugar.

    They sent free samples when I asked to try them a year ago. It is worth asking if your interested to make sure you like them before spending so much. I ended up thinking they were terrible, lol.

    Have been going through a bottle every few days.... it is addicting.

    Also strawberries, strawberry fig jam, and melindas banana chips.

    I love Jordans skinny syrup
    My current fave is vanilla caramel creme

    I didn't know they do that but that's also good idea. I'm not sure which flavors you tried but they changed the formula last summer from what I read. Everyone has different tastes though. I like the flavors I listed but there have been some duds from them in the past year. The blondie smells like Play-Doh and I'm not a fan of any of the flavors with the blondie base, the Pumpkin Spice one was a let down, and the mystery box flavors are hit or miss as well. They just came out with a lemon pound cake one and I ordered it even though it's a blondie base. My sister loves the blondie base though, so at least they won't go to waste if I don't like them.

    Do you have advice on how to make these? I have a few of these in my pantry from my RippedKit monthly boxes and whenever I've made them in the past they don't come out right as per the directions. It's a tad watery and oddly textured.

    I don't make them by the instructions. I make with milk and add the calories from doing so. I also add a little liquid at a time and stop when it's at a decent cake batter thickness

    It also needs microwaving longer than it says, often around the 2 minute mark for me otherwise it's still soggy in the middle which on some tastes awful

    I usually put a bit of cream on it when I eat it
    It's not quite cake texture but close enough for me

    Never ever buy the cheaper my protein version....... Texture of a bath sponge with even less flavour than one
