    Inhaled it before I took a picture, but it looked similar to the peanut butter chocolate chip one. Hard to say which one I prefer between the two since the flavor is so subtle but I love the texture!!! Seriously these are my new go-to protein bars and I strongly suggest them. High hopes for the chocolate brownie!!! Need to scale back on all this foodie shopping I've been doing recently though haha

    Bought a new product at my local Stop & Shop called Trimino protein infused water. A 16 oz bottle has 28 calories, 7 grams of protein, 0 carbs, 0 fat, essential amino acids and B-complex vitamins. I tried the Strawberry Lemonade during Spin tonight and it was pretty good. Besides hydration, I it also filled me up and curbed my appetite. Since it has a long shelf life, I'll probably get a case while they're still on sale 2/$3.00. Has anyone tried this?

    Didn't like the other flavors but WCR is my favorite flavor quest bar so I will prob give these a shot when I see them.

    Not worth the calories.

    The full fat Chobani flips are very average too... Still prefer Fage by far.

    I had no clue Walmart sold them, it's probably so much cheaper there! I can't wait to hear your review :)

    Probably not new, but new to me since I live in the middle of nowhere and have just started seeing these. I currently have the salted caramel cluster and the snickerdoodle in my freezer. I was so skeptical, expecting them to be subpar...and I was so wrong...

    I thought the apple crisp one was delicious!

    OK, I just had my first Lil Buff Bakery cake, baked in the rice cooker, topped off with 1.5 T of slightly-watered down black raspberry all-fruit.

    All in all, pretty good! I would have taken a picture, but I forgot to grease the rice pot so I ended up with mangled pieces. (It didn't plump up like the pictures, but the cake was light and moist.). I think I'll use only 1T of all-fruit next time--it made everything tremendously sweet.

    I'm waiting for the Kodiak Cakes chocolate/peanut butter combo pack to be back in stock on Amazon, and then I'm going to try baking those in the rice cooker.

    I've missed cake since I've begun this process; it's exciting I might be able to have an alternative. :smile:

    There's a couple new Oikos crunch Greek yogurts - chocolate pretzel caramel (bought two), and some lemon one that I passed on as I don't like lemon stuff. Will try it soon!

    I also bought the Artic Zero brownie blast and chocolate chip cookie dough (they were actually on sale). Will try them when I can spare the calories and see how it compares to Halo Top (it was $2 cheaper so there's that).

    Yeah we're all different I guess! I think it was the texture of the apples or something... it was just kinda weird to me. I bought the peanut caramel one not too long ago and that one was tasty though (but almond choco loco is still a favorite).

    Meh. The cookie dough pieces are good... the base pretty tasteless. So far Halo Top wins by far. I did defrost it for a while but I don't think it made much of a difference. We'll see the brownie one...

    I'm so jealous you got to try it in the rice cooker!!!! You don't live near a Target that sells those flavor Kodiak Cakes mix though? I'd imagine it would be so much more expensive on Amazon!

    Yes that's the only place that sells the chocolate or peanut butter versions.

    That one is better. Still not Halo Top though (granted, I haven't tried the chocolate Halo Top). The chocolate flavor of the base is just not strong enough to be really satisfying. Mix ins are tasty though.

    I have a hard not eating the whole pint...it's soo good. I haven't seen the cookies and cream one yet, but I'm on the lookout now.
    Hopefully you enjoy it! The Snickerdoodle one has cookie pieces in it. My b/f and I fought over it last night..haha.

    You guys are either the best or the worst influences. *Races to the car to go to Target* Pancakes? Check! Oreos? Check! M&M's? Check! Yogurt? Check! Ice Cream? Check!

    Haha, yeah, I'm like that too now. And target is definitely the worst.

    I bought the Snickerdoodle pint and devoured half the thing and had to force myself to stop. The next day I found out my father, who used to always say how anything dairy free was disgusting, finished off the pint on me. It's that good.

    Devour's new Pulled Chicken Burrito Bowl. It was good, buI nothing great that I would get again. Honestly Taco Bell's cantina power bowl is a lot better!

    Yes that's the only place that sells the chocolate or peanut butter versions.

    Update: I made a peanut butter Kodiak cake (w/ Lil Buff Bakery additions: unsweetened applesauce, egg whites, and almond milk) and baked in a rice cooker with 1 T of slightly-watered down black raspberry all-fruit.

    If you're looking for sweet bakery cake, this isn't it. However, it is filling and quite tasty in its own right! I'm going to add a throw of mini chocolate chips next round. (pics to come). I think it's a keeper.

    I bought these at Costco, but I decided after doing the math that they were not worth it and am taking them back. I figured that the pancakes I make myself are basically the same number of calories and grams of fiber. Less protein, but I always eat egg whites or skyr with my pancakes so sort of a wash. They tasted OK, but I can't see paying 6 to 7 times more for these than I can make them myself!

    I found these in one of the clearance endcaps at Target. Both my husband and I agreed that they were not very good. Another disappointing s'mores inspired product.

    This syrup is OK. I did end up adding some additional maple flavoring to it and that helped. Holds no candle to real grade B maple syrup, but will do when you need to watch the calories. I mean 15 cals a serving compared to 210 is no real contest.

    My husband and I found a winning dessert combo recently.

    Take:

    3212_03.jpg

    and fill with:

    o.jpg

    or

    Nutella.png

    and mini chocolate chips or smashed Oreo minis (if you like, worth it, for the record...)

    and it is INCREDIBLE.

    There is something about the texture of the wrap when combined with either the reconstituted peanut butter or Nutella that makes it taste so amazing. I had to smack my husband away from eating my whole bag of wraps. Too bad they are so expensive. I found them at Fred Meyer a few weeks ago for 2.99 and backed the truck up. Now I am down to my last bag already. :(

    Thanks for the great idea about the Ole wrap and PB powder - i will definitely be trying this one out soon!
