Has anyone had any of these?
Looking for feedback! Thanks :)

I heard the peanut spread is disgusting but the salad dressings are ok?

    too many chemicals and unfamiliar ingredients for me. I like Braswell's salad dressing. The Vanilla Peach is my favorite. www.braswells.com

    I am highly suspicious of 0 calorie foods.

    Reading the labels on those things reminds me of an old Susan Powter infomercial "You read the label and its Gum-blah-blah-blah, Yum-blah-blah-blah, Some-blah-blah-blah and its tomato juice. There's NO tomato in the tomato juice!"

    You're probably better off using the real stuff but in moderation.

    Non-food chemical concoctions. Calories are not the enemy.

    Most are! The Apple Butter is PURE DELICIOUSNESS though! (Well at least on oatmeal!)

    I had the Alfredo sauce with Miracle noodles last night, which is also zero calories. They do have sodium or artificial sweeteners, so they aren't zero consequences. I wouldn't use them daily, but here and there should be OK. I like things with clean ingredients too, but I add them to healthy meals-- like I had ground turkey meatballs with the above meal, and a salad.

    The dressings are GROSS. Very watery, weird flavors, and when they dry (like on your dishes) they make this weird chalky residue that looks like you mixed up plaster in your bowls. The ketchup was also disgusting. I say it's much better to stick to the real thing in moderation.

    It's just flavored water with thickners. I've added the peanut spread to shakes. I've had the orange marmalade...very weird texture..like jello. I mashed it with a fork and added sriacha to make a dip for sf coconut chicken.

    I do really like the caramel dip though!

    I've tried 3 or 4 hoping/believing that they'd be better than the last one I tried---BLECH!!!

    If you are ok with processed food go for it, but honestly I think eating the calories would be better then eating these. I tried the peanut spread stuff and it was nasty. I haven't bought nor do I plan to buy anything else from them.

    I think you guys are right... clean real foods are the way to go....thanks for the input :-) I usually cook almost everything from scratch and these sounded odd...
