    Ok I found something worth mentioning. The same company that makes Vitatop makes mini loaves called EnergyLoaf. I bought two kinds, banana nut bread and cornbread, had the cornbread tonight and it was really good. It has great macros too - 110 calories, 5g of protein, 8g of fiber. Same size as a standard cornbread (which are usually what... 200+ calories?). The only issue obviously is that even at 40% off it was $3 for the box of 4, so it's probably not going to be a repeat purchase unless it's on sale again.

    I wondered if they were any good. I used to get the vita tops muffin tops mixes and make them at home when I could find them up in Chicago at the Jewel stores. Now they don't even carry them so I have to order them online and pay for shipping. The muffin top mixes are cheaper than buying the 4 pack frozen ones for like $5 a box. I have wondered about the Vita Pizza's too.

    Poptarts that are red velvet. I bought a box for my boyfriend's stocking stuffer. I ate one this week, they were ok. I hadn't eaten any pop tarts in years and one was so sweet. If I am going to consume almost 200 calories I rather have a red velvet cupcake to be honest! They have red velvet ice cream out there too but I've not tried it.

    My boyfriend bought one variety (don't remember which kind), and I thought they were horrible. Kind of slightly flavored cardboard. Not my think, but if I'm going to eat a bar, I tend to gravitate towards protein bars anyways.

    soylent, straight curious now after talking to a friend who did it for an extended period.

    I'd be curious as to your thoughts if you give it a try. :) I'm too chicken. LOL

    It's a 6 month wait from time of purchase until fulfillment, I'm trying to DIY approach. Interesting puzzle.

    I had the banana nut one too. It was pretty good for the calories. But yeah, not filling at all, but I guess it's to be expected from those things.

    I have recently started getting the Kind Chocholte / Cranberry bars. Great preworkout snack.

    Woats! A food blogger I follow on Instagram has posted several photos of them. I am tempted to buy and try.

    I know it's probably not a very new food, but I recently discovered Oops All Berries cereal.

    Light & Fit® Carb & Sugar Control 4 oz. 4-packs

    The rich and creamy 3 gram carb cup (4 oz.) has 45 or 50 calories and 85% less sugar than regular lowfat yogurt.*

    Got to bump this.

    I found the Red Velvet oreos and they were on sale but only if you bought 2 packages, and I don't think my kids would like them... so I passed. Actually shocked at all the different kinds of Oreos there is. Wish they made a sampler pack or something.

    The Yoplait whips were on sale and I had a $1 coupon so I got 5 for $4. Really, really love those things. Only tried raspberry and strawberry shortcake so far but picked up a couple more (the vanilla cupcake one, the lemon meringue one, and the tropical one).

    I did buy the Light and Fit Greek salted caramel again and found it very underwhelming this time. Odd. The strawberry cheesecake and toasted coconut vanilla ones were way better than I remembered though.

    Found a new kind of yogurt, Yulu Australian yogurt, it's 170 calories, 7g of fat, 9g of protein, but not worth trying out at $1.69 a cup and the flavors were nothing new (I had a coupon but still too expensive).

    I did buy Reese's peanut butter chocolate spread (to put in my oatmeal tomorrow morning) and Turkey Hill Box of Chocolates ice cream (not bad for 170 calories a serving).

    Clearly I don't focus too much on the salty stuff...

    @francl27, I have a recipe for cornbread that ends up being somewhere between 100-150 cals a piece depending on the yogurt you use and how you cut them.

    I have not seen the Greek whip yet What store did u get them at. Definitely going to look for the chocolate peanut butter pop tart. I know it is probably not the healthiest to eat but sounds good for a portion controlled treat. My new find Is sugar free silk cashew milk. I LOVE it better then almond milk

    Trader Joe's has new "crispy, crunchy broccoli florets" - it's like the broccoli version of banana chips. They were surprisingly tasty, and I can't eat anywhere near what they call a serving.

    These sound delicious!

    I also have to plug the Whips Yogurt. We love the lemon meringue around here (and I don't normally like citrus flavored things). Delicious!

    I'm having the new Chobani Flip hazelnut as we speak. Totally yum and worth the 250 calories (if you're like me and love hazelnut anything), although it will definitely be a 'once in a while' thing. Also got the limited edition Cinnamon Bun Yoplait Greek and the new Simply Chobani double chocolate chunk yogurts waiting in my fridge. I had the raspberry chocolate light and fit Greek last week for the first time too and it's not bad at all (might not be new though, I just don't remember seeing it before).

    Has anyone noticed any new interesting product recently?

    The Yoplait Cinnamon Bun yogurt sounds pretty interesting. I'll have to check Wal-Mart & Giant the next time I go shopping.

    I bought the new Red Velvet Oreos today & they're pretty good with a nice cream cheese flavor.

    I can't wait till the stores get the Ben & Jerry's Cookie Core flavors.

    I bought the "so delicious" coconut coffee creamer bc I'm going off dairy for a while (at least) and it's pretty satisfactory.

    I like the birthday cake ones. They're pretty good. And I'm also a fan of the mint (the store brand has mint double stuffed...)

    They're not all good. Some have zero flavor, and some are sickeningly sweet.

    I do particularly enjoy the Nuts and Spices bars. All of those I've tried are good. The Almonds with Dark Chocolate and Sea Salt is probably my favorite. I don't get them often, though - they're not filling to me so I treat them like a candy bar.

    I like the chocolate peanut butter ones, my favorite so far are the almond apricot ones though. I agree that they're not very filling on their own, but if I have an apple with them, they are great.

    I just saw that the Endangered Species brand of chocolate has come out with a chocolate/hazelnut spread like Nutella, but suitable for vegans. I'm patiently waiting for it to come to my area. I miss Nutella! :'(
