    So, I tried this flavor today since we were sampling it out to customers at work. I love it! Seriously. It sounded weird to me when I first heard it (I was thinking, "will this taste like vanilla soup?"), but after trying it, I'm definitely going to buy a container. It's sweetened with stevia, so it's free if added sugar, and doesn't taste like bone broth at all! It actually tastes like vanilla cake. Plus, the gelatin nsturally present in bone broth makes it gel a little after you mix it with a shaker cup and some almond milk, so it get a milkshake-like consistency after about gmfive minutes. Plus, you can't beat the convenience. It'll be awesome for when I'm away from home and can't take m homemade broth with me.

    Hmmm interesting, I have been intrigued by these bone broths thanks for the review. Do you think it is more gelatinous than other protein powders?

    I certainly think so. You have to wait for about 5-10 minutes for the gelatin to bloom, but after that, it really is much thicker than a normal shake. The only one that I can think of that is thicker is Garden of Life's Raw Meal, but this has a much better consistancy. Raw Meal is thick, but gritty (I think because the thickness is caused by the fiber content). This, on the other hand, is smooth and creamy after it thickens. Kind of life a really soft-set Jello, honestly.

    Has anyone tried these? I haven't had any luck finding them.

    Well, most of the 80 calories wraps I've seen are a little bigger than a taco tortilla size, so it's not that bad. I'll try these if I find them though, but it's not like there aren't already 3 different kinds of high fiber/low carb tortillas/wraps available.

    Eh, taco-size is big enough for me. Those burrito-style ones are too huge. Who actually fills up one of those and eats the whole thing? It's like getting a fully-loaded footlong from Subway.

    Finally got my hands on some Halo Top, lemon cake. OMG! A million times better than Arctic Zero. Actually creamy. Now I just need to find the birthday cake one.

    The birthday cake is really good and actually has a really strong cake like flavor!

    Only one I want and the only one I haven't found yet. Of course.

    I'm still thinking of trying Enlightened though...

    The burrito ones are good as a low-cal pizza crust (if I can't afford the real thing).

    My sister and I love these! They're about 8 inches in diameter and really great for a small lunch wrap. I found them at Stop and Stop and Market Basket (Rhode Island resident).

    Baileys & Almond Milk is one of my go-to drinks at home. Pretty cool that I can now buy it pre-mixed.

    The new Kirkland/Costco protein bars that are 3-4 net carbs. The box of them cost around $19 which worked out to be less than $1 a bar. They're pretty tasty! Smaller than Quest bars though.

    I'm not sure about the fruity crisp one and I'm not that into blueberries but I'll probably try that one since I liked the new blueberry muffin quest bar.

    Oh! I tried the cookie dough flavored Combat Crunch bar. It was good and a really good size but...kinda hard to bite into. I have two other flavors to try but I might have to stick with the softer Quest and B Up and any others I try that are easier to eat. :)

    Oh my god, I love America. You guys have the most amazing flavors of Oreos. Fat me really wants to buy both of these and chow down but thinner me doesn't want the carb/glucose spike. Dang it.

    I found the Birthday Cake Halo Top finally (the only flavor I hadn't had) and tried it last night. I can agree, very prominent cake flavor and one of my new favorites! But something about the Lemon Cake is hard to beat and is actually tied in my opinion!
    The Enlightened is good, but I mean, the calories ARE similar to some frozen yogurts so I wouldn't beat yourself up over not trying it. If you do, great, if not, you saved some money. The Mint Chocolate and Peanut Butter were my two favorite from that brand. Salted Caramel was my least favorite, which hurts to admit since I love salted caramel everything normally.

    There are bars tougher than Quest? :open_mouth:

    I microwave some of those flavors just to make them easier to chew.

    Aside from Double Stuffed, which I didn't like because there were less total cookies, fat me never actually tried any other Oreo flavor. I was too busy eating full containers of classic Oreos. Kinda bums me out because I missed a lot of different flavors, like Blizzard creme.

    I finally tried some Halo Top last night after loads and loads of people squealing about how delicious it is. I tried Arctic Zero previously, before seeing anyone talk about it (I had just randomly saw it at the store) and I really liked it. I think it was the shake flavor and it was really creamy and delicious. I got the Halo Top Mint chip flavor last night and it was just "meh". It wasn't this orgasmic sensation. It was also, a really weird texture and consistency, not creamy or soft at all. Did I buy a bad one?

    Halo Top is not really that much better than Arctic Zero in my opinion. Why am I so weird? I really liked Arctic Zero. Someone tell me I am not alone, please?

    I will one day try Arctic Zero's new pints. Their packaging is pretty cute, and I can appreciate them trying to improve their products.

    You have to let it sit and thaw a little. Or nuke it for a few seconds. They didn't want to add extras like emulsifiers so it leaves it solid like a rock straight out of the freezer.
