    I posted about the caramel nut one before but I just had again and OMG it is my new favorite bar. It is very sweet though but I love it. I tried the chocolate pb too and it was incredible. Almost like pure protein bars in a way but 10000000x better. (I just thought those were okay) So caramely and almost too sweet I felt like I was eating a candy bar (which, lets be honest, these bars are basically candy bars with some extra protein lol).

    I tried the maple a while back and liked it well enough. It's quite sweet, IMO, and not as good as Peanut Butter & Co's Mighty Maple flavor, so I switched back to the Pb&Co.

    Edited to add: Did you like the cinnamon? I have thought about trying it several times...

    Only bought the cinnamon, good thing since you said the maple was not that good. I tried it and it was just okay. Was kinda disappointed. I prefer PB&co cinnamon raisin hands down. This had a "fake cinnamon" taste to it that I didn't like. Don't waste your money, I would not buy again.

    Anyone try these?

    I didn't like the Cookies & Cream, but I love the Cheesecake flavor.

    While I was at Wal-Mart yesterday I noticed they were selling Quest bars, chips, & the protein powders. The bars were pricier than GNC.

    These are pretty good! A decent amount of apple flavor.

    Also bought the flavor above to try.

    @francl27 Jif also has a Hazelnut flavored bar.

    Found these at the Grocery Outlet, & the chips are so good! Cinnamon FTW!

    A new Oreo flavor already?

    @oocdc2 I wish I could find that cheese around me. I have always wanted to find gouda flavored non dairy cheese. I think they are one of the only brands that make it. I LOVE the Chao vegan cheeses, have you ever had those? Which did you prefer?

    I've seen Chao before, but I've never bought it before. It has soy in it, and I try to limit the amount of soy in my diet. I usually eat either Follow Your Heart or Daiya, since both are soy-free and readily avaliable where I live. Of the two, I prefer Follow Your Heart's slices over Daiya's since they aren't as rubbery and don't have to be melted to be enjoyable. Daiya has better shreds and blocks, though.

    Speaking of which, I taste tested the Arctic Zero pints I bought.

    Buttery Pecan - The ice cream part had a subtle buttery flavor and was creamyish but the pecan pieces were so small, you could barely tell one made it into your mouth.

    Cookie Dough Chip - The ice cream part was the normal ice milk texture and flavor but the chocolate chips were good. I don't remember any cookie part.

    Snickerdoodle Dandy - It didn't make an impression on me at all apparently because I can't remember if I liked it or not :)

    None of them beat the Halo Top Birthday Cake tho.

    Bringing this up again because I finished off the buttery pecan and have dug into the snickerdoodle dandy.

    It's actually really good!

    The ice cream part is slightly cinnamony, pretty creamy if you let it thaw for 10 mins or so, and you can definitely make out the sugar cookie taste when you get a piece in a spoonful. This is one of those that I'll have to start logging instead of taking a few spoonfuls straight from the carton as a pick me up because it's sort of difficult to stop eating.

    I got this today at the Fresh Market (I had a $5.00 coupon). It's really good! It tastes just like unsalted butter. I spread some in some toast, but I imagine that it would make great cookies for us dairy-intolerant folk.

    I don't think this is necessarily new, but I don't remember seeing it last summer. Really good.

    What does it taste like? I know that I don't really care for low fat cottage cheese so I'm guessing it doesn't have any fat in it.

    It's just like cottage cheese should taste like which I guess was the point, I was just expecting it to be a bit weird (like my experiences with things like protein pancakes). There's 2.5g of fat per serving (half the pot) so yeah, pretty low fat. Ended up eating the whole pot as a desert but got a bit heavy going towards the end so had some fruit with it to lighted it up a bit. Would buy it again but not the whole pot at once.

    So I kind of want to vent real quick... I picked up Evol Food's new Butternut Squash Lasagna frozen entree from Target, and while I don't expect prepared meals like this to be the best for you, I find it so misleading they would use the terms "real food with simple, easy to recognize ingredients" to appear healthy while containing trans fats. Shame on them, right? Am I the only one here who gets frustrated by these claims?! They're misleading!

    Dairy products contain some trans fats, so that may be the source. It's not the same as the trans fats that are in fried "junk" foods, though.

    Is it the 0.5 grams you're concerned about, or is there something else? 'Cause, I see no preservatives, nothing I can't pronounce--I'd totally eat that.

    I'm probably super late to this, but I was looking through Kroger coupons and noticed they have their own cookie butter spread. HEBs was pretty good.

    I wish we had HEB here because they seem to make really tasty stuff.

    Yeah that's pretty much all it was lol I was confused because I didn't see any partially hydrogenated oils on the ingredients list but the trans fat was 0.5g and I remember always hearing how terrible it was for you. Didn't know it was in dairy products though, huh!

    I tried the Lemon Thin Oreos and wasn't super impressed - but I'm not the most into Oreos in the first place. I did really like the Mint Thin Oreos, though.

    I picked up some raw turkey on clearance and was surprised to see some trans fat on it.

    Interestingly it even looks like these natural trans fats *might* have some health benefits compared to the ones from hydrogenated plant oils (according to wikipedia). I think this company actually deserves some credit that they label something like this, I feel like most products make their serving size so small that you only see 0 g trans fats on everything now which is also BS.
    The ingredients actually look really good to me, how did it taste?

    Just found this stuff over the weekend. Ate one when I got home and immediately went back and bought more. The macros are great and I love that it's all ingredients I can pronounce! So far, I've had vanilla and espresso. Chocolate will be tonight. I left the ginger flavor at the store. They sell for $2.89/each here in Michigan, but were on sale when I bought them. vurkjeruj84o.jpg
