    Coconut Water.
    I don't even understand the point of it, it's really high in sugar. Plus, everyone's saying now that most juices even with no sugar water are no better than soda, so I'd say that's definitley one of them! It just tastes like sugar water. But I like coconut milk.
    coconut water is supposed to be really hydrating.. *shrugs* I'm not that fond of pure coconut water either, and the hybrid stuff always has added sugars, so it's worthless...

    Miracle noodles!! I was so excited at the idea of pasta with no calories but OMG...and I can usually power down anything even if I don't care for it but not these.

    I tried these too. They were mushy and slimy. yuck
    OMG yes, these... I could not believe I spent so much to have those nasty things sent to my house... NEVER again will I order food without having tried it before somewhere else, thanks to these.... it's just not worth it.

    Whole wheat pasta..uugh, I don't know how people eat that stuff! It's like dry cardboard. I just eat regular pasta noodles and don't have it too often.

    HAHAHA I agree but ive been forcing myself to eat it, tastes amazing with a home made pesto with basil, parmesan and sun dried tomatoes ;)

    Old thread but had to bump it.

    Anything made by WALDEN FARMS makes me want to vomit!! You have been warned. They are that "no calorie no carb" company that makes zero calorie alternatives for dips, dressings, tomato sauce, fluff, caramel syrup etc I've tried their dips, dressings, a ton of their products and every single one was repulsive beyond belief. Keep in mind I am someone who likes foods that most people hate like brussel sprouts, tofu, soy hotdogs, seaweed etc. And I couldn't even choke down Walden Farms onion dip on a bet. Uck

    Applegate Farms provolone cheese. It just smelled and tasted so strong. Luckily my fiance liked it.

    Count me in also for disliking almond milk. The taste and texture is like almonds that have been chewed up and spit out. If I want almonds I'll just have whole raw almonds, and if I want non-dairy "milk," unsweetened coconut milk is the best thing ever.

    Muscle Monster... -gag-

    I had the "vanilla" one. There was only 2 available in the store. Vanilla && Coffee

    I've never had those, i've had the Mean Bean and other coffee flavors. I just wish they'd make those in zero calorie, i have to go with the Monster zero otherwise.

    I like plain Greek yogurt and have it almost every morning before work. No sweeteners, no fruit, no granola. I have it with lentils and dark leafy greens. It's my "power breakfast." It is sour but not in a bad way.

    So Delicious unsweetened coconut milk is amazing...I drink at least a quart of it per week lol. I don't find it to be sour at all, it has a really nice delicate flavor. I think the vanilla and original varieties have a weird aftertaste. Haven't tried the cultured coconut milk or ice cream yet.

    Overnight oats are pretty gross...but I've never been much of a fan of oatmeal anyway. To me it tastes bland no matter how many things you add to it, and it's not even that filling.

    I try to avoid low-fat, low-cal, protein powders/shakes/bars, and all that kind of stuff. I'd rather have a brownie or piece of chocolate that is delicious and I can fully enjoy, rather than having some kind of fake fascimile of it. Artificial sweeteners are gross and make me feel like I'm going to get cancer. I can always offset the calories later with exercise or cutting back. Portion control is more important than getting rid of individual high-calorie foods...I mean I had steak for dinner tonight!

    I never really got the point of smoothies. I would rather just eat the individual vegetables. But maybe I haven't made exciting enough smoothies.

    Surprised people hate kale...it doesn't even have a strong flavor! The vegetable I can't stand the most is lettuce. So bitter. How do people eat it and why is it the most popular leafy green vegetable?

    I started by going to a weight loss clinic. The doctor there put me on their packaged foods for 1 week. They were mostly okay, but the soups were really bad. Thin and grainy. I was pretty miserable.

    Some of those low calorie juices that my husband likes to drink... yuck :neutral_face:

    Also, I had coconut juice before. I took one sip of it and threw it out . . . what a waste of money!

    Has to be karela (bitter melon) for me. Not sure whether I cooked it wrong or what. Usually I can eat most foods, even if I'm not too keen, but this. No. Never again.

    Plain greek yogurt. I'm trying to avoid artificial sweeteners and the fruity flavored ones are way to high on sugar. I'm trying to get used to the sourness. So far I swallow it as fast as I can so that I don't taste it much and then wash it down with water. My daughter keeps telling me there are tastier forms of protein....

    Greek yogurt - any kind
    Quinoa
    Almond Milk
    Coconut Milk
    Cottage Cheese
    Kale/Sweet potatos
    Chicken hotdogs
    Whole Wheat Rice
    Random "Ancient' grain bread (oh it tastes ancient alright)
    Low fat cheese (sooo soft and ick....)

    I'm sure there's more, that's all I can think of at the moment.

    1. Kale Chips.
    2. Shiratake noodles. I tried so hard to like them but I couldn't lie to myself...

    Syntrax twisted cherry protein drink. So horrible and even worse aftertaste that lasted all day. It gave me a headache and nausea.

    The nasty sweat from the person in front of me in Spin Class who wiped her sweat and when she flipped the towel over her shoulder ended up spraying me somehow. I'm not generally opposed to the exchange of bodily fluids. Not this time, tho.

    Yeah, back before I got my food education on, I tried Tony Ferguson (shakes and packet soups) - the soups were hideous. It was like drinking vaguely flavoured, watered down plaster of pasis with extra sand.

    Frozen grapes. They did not taste like sweets, they were incredibly hard.

    Cottage cheese

    I agree with the quest bars, I tried to like it after spending $3 on it, but I just couldn't do it. And pretty much every Low Calorie option at restaurants = sadness on a plate

    Almond milk...yucky! Cauliflower mashed potatoes are equally gross.

    I love mashed cauliflower with butter, with or without a sprinkle of shredded
    cheese, or with homemade cheese sauce. People expecting them to taste like potatoes are crazy though.

    The other day I made a smoothie with spinach, cottage cheese, almonds, peanuts, and a bit of soy milk. Really don't know what I was thinking, it was vile. Every mouthful made me gag! But I forced it down and washed it down with water...:sick:


    It even sounds unappetizing.

    I have been thinking really hard about this. I think the worst thing I have tried is Stevia. It is a good way to ruin perfectly good coffee. I have just learned to like my coffee unsweetened.

    I love all of the Kashi products I have tried so far. Not a fan of the Fiber One brownies. :(
