They are so good! Very rich and one seems like almost too much!

@Noreenmarie1234 I don't know if it was a fluke or what but the quest bars I bought from CyberMonday on Quest's website tasted much better than the box I got maybe back in sept at least the Chocolate Chunk. Now the boxes I got from GNC (Banana Nut) were the new formula too but they were hard like rocks (which the new formula shouldn't be).
I don't know if they fixed it or my taste buds adapted but I trust that I can buy Quest again but might need to stay away from GNC's supply. Their warehouse may not be quest friendly.

Bars that I found were just fine: Chocolate Chunk, White Chocolate Raspberry, Cinnamon Bun (reminds me of the stevia + cinnamon popcorn I do). The S'mores is definitely different but works in a different way.

All Boxes were 13-14g fiber and should be the new formula. I don't know if anyone else feels the same way but I don't know if you've tried one since the change.

Looks like I'll be using up a lot of my Sunday calories to try those IHOP red velvet pancakes. Their pancakes usually fill me for the entire day so it's fine.

@hgycta This is the other limited edition Edy's I saw at the store and passed on...maybe you should give it a try


Oh and it says it has chunks of the red velvet cake and a cream cheese swirl in case you're wondering.

Oh, that looks lovely. Very, very lovely. Looks like that and the new Red Velvet Oikos are now both on my list of things to look for at the grocery store!

Also, in regards to the red velvet pancakes, if you're trying to fit them into your diary/macros this helped me:
Order two eggs (poached is 130 calories), two slices of turkey bacon (70 calories), with an order of two red velvet pancakes instead of four. Saves you some calories and adds some protein into the meal! Although now that I know how good they are I'll absolutely be tempted to just go for that four stack anyways xD

I was looking feverishly for these last Easter and never found them! Just saw them at BJ's and bought a box ($10!!!) they have four packs, which had 6 cookies in each. The packs were a lot bigger than I was expecting! The taste was disappointing though, unfortunately. Not nearly as sweet as the regular cadbury creme eggs, the cookie just kind of mutes out the filling completely. The cookie is good, don't get me wrong, just not $10 good and doesn't remind me anything of a Cadbury creme egg. Honestly it kind of reminds me of a Girl Scout cookie.



I also bought a pint of Halo Top's Vanilla Bean Ice Cream. I tried their Lemon Cake in the past and was shocked how much better it was than Arctic Zero's, and this Vanilla has also blown me away so far, although I certainly taste the erythritol much more in this flavor. Still, 240 calories for a pint and it's this good? 5 Stars. I wish Wegman's wasn't the only place I could find Halo Top!

I have been eating these like it's going out of style! Noodles made out of beans might seem like they are going to taste disgusting or have some weird flavor/texture. I am an italian girl and LOVE my pasta, I was super skeptical about these simply because they were made out of beans. While nothing can truly replace good old spaghetti, these are a great, nutrient/fiber dense substitute. They are SUPER filling, the serving size is 2 oz (dry) but I can usually only eat 1/2 that, throw some chicken and marinara sauce on top and you have a protein packed meal that will keep you full for hours! This is the first time I have posted pictures on here so I hope I did it right?!?!.

I picked up a package of the edemame noodles at Costco - they remind me of ramen without the salty packet.

This was one sale at work, so I got this instead of the Fatworks tallow. $6.00 is a much better price than $16.00 + shipping. It tastes pretty good, but I wish that it had a more pork-y taste. I understand that most people use lard in baking and that you don't want your pies to taste like bacon, but I mostly put it on toast and potatoes as a substitute for butter, and I wish it had a little more flavor to it. Oh well, a little Himalayan salt complements it pretty nicely.


I'm not a fan. The macros are really good, and they remind me of the old Quest Bars texture-wise, but I never liked Quest Bars much even when I could eat them, so I didn't really like these. I ate them cold, though, so heating them in a microwave probably makes their taste and texture better. They were softer than I remember Quest Bars being, at least. You can eat these cold without pulling out any teeth.


Loved these! These were on sale for $1.99. I normally hate seaweed, but the cheap price made me willing to give them a shot. The siraccha masks the seaweed flavor really nicely and gives them a wonderful kick. They're also that perfect balance of saltiness that makes you want to grab another and another without being so salty that you feel the need to reach for some water.



These weren't nearly as good as the spicy ones. There was nothing to mask the seaweed, so you could really taste it. They had nice crunch, but the taste was just icky to me. Fans of seaweed would probably still like them, though.


LOVE these! Sweet and crunchy and savory all at the same time...It nice on my wallet that we sell them by the pound, but terrible for my macros!


This is really good too! It's not nearly as good as my homemade bone broth, but it's a good option if you can't make your own for some reason and can't afford the really expensive frozen bone broths. It's a little plain in it's own, but it's really good if you warm it up with some salt and pepper before you put it in your coffee mug. I actually like that it's plain, since it allows you to customize it to your taste. Tastes a lot like drinking Thanksgiving dinner in a cup. Yum!

FYI - cinnamon Oreos will be available on Wednesday here.

Krogers has most of the new Pop Tarts in stock. I'm hopeful they do the same for the Oreos

I stopped by The Vitamin Shoppe today and got super excited when I finally found Oh Yeah's Birthday Cake flavored One bar! I purchased it and just got home, haven't tried it yet, but I'm already disappointed. I didn't know it had partially hydrogenated oil (trans fat) in it! That kind of made me lose a bit of respect for the company, but I mean, I guess I can't be too picky because I'm guilty of consuming it in other foods still, I just always hold expensive protein bars to a higher standard in my mind. Either way, I'm sure it tastes great, and I'm sure once I open it I'll be running back for another.

As long as it fits my macros I'm good. Lol. It's only $2 a bar so I thought it was on par with other bars pricewise. I tried the chocolate chip too. They were only $1. So much softer than other bars IMO.

My only issue with the cricket bars is how expensive they all are compared to crickets you can find at a pet store.
