I actually got on here to see if anyone knew what the calories were for a tall one. Grande is 475 calories, and I have to build it into my foods tomorrow.
280 calories for the tall so I couldn't resist! It's beautiful but I'm not a huge fan as the mango is pretty strong. If you like mango though it's phenomenal and well rounded! Just wish it was cotton candy flavored (they had cotton candy before but it didn't taste anything like cotton candy in my opinion)
omg these are ALL over my social media feeds... not understanding the attraction - and why mango? just no.
Not a fan of mango. The colors are deceptive. I would expect to be tasting something like cotton candy when taking a sip LOL.
exactly! i never drink any of those fancy drinks but cotton candy i would have tried lol even if it was just a sip
I caved yesterday and had to get my Unicorn on. I didn't think the mango was too powerful, but the last few sips definitely had that sour punch. Was interesting, would be better with some rum tho!2 -

Same here. It tastes like food coloring to me, honestly, and is a terrible mix with cream cheese. I've never understood red velvet.
My husband even "made me" try it from a really, really good bakery thinking I'd understand the subtle nuances of delicious fresh red velvet cake. NOPE!
The red food dye they stopped making (caused cancer) years and years ago is why the Red Velvet Cakes do not taste good. We used to make from scratch as a child with the old red dye and they were delicious!!!

Oh my... yes, please do let me know how it is!!! I have my own stockpile to get through first XD1 -
It was okay. I like mango and it was pretty much just a mango creamsicle until I got to the blue "sour" ribbon, which was delicious (I say as a lover of sour candy.)
I don't normally drink milkshakes or frappuccinos or anything like that so I don't have much to compare it to, but I think anyone who likes fruit-flavoured ice cream and mango would like it. If not, it's nothing special. I was hoping for something vanilla or cake-like so the fruit flavour seemed like an odd choice. I just got a tall, and the calories were listed a little lower here than on the US site, so it was allegedly only 280 calories for the experiment...so NO RAGERTS I guess.

Like a week maybe two at the very most... that's odd... are you sure it didnt go to your spam folder? Maybe they caught on...0 -
Found this at Wal-Mart! This is what Froot Loops would taste like if it were a cookie which basically means it tastes awesome.
Anyone try the Burger King Froot Loop shake?3 -
Yes shouldn't take that long. Not over two weeks unless they have stopped doing it.0 -
I've had PowerCrunch bars before and I enjoy them but they don't fill me so I don't eat them as often as Quest. However, I won some Siblings Day Facebook giveaway and received a ton of their goodies including their protein powder which I've never tried before. I've tried SO MANY protein powders, but my favorites are Quest, Chike, and MusclePharm (and then Orgain if we consider plant based powders). Most of them, however, I hate.
To my surprise, I just tried the vanilla creme powder and I'm in love. Honestly I think I like it more than Quest and MusclePharm combined (can't say anything about Chike because it's not coffee flavored or Orgain because it's not plant-based, so it's not fair).
Taste: 10/10 and should be named vanilla bean since that's what it tastes like more than anything. I could see some serious potential for this powder in recipes for homemade protein ice creams, so if anyone has recipes feel free to recommend some! The only downfall is the texture. It might be good for shaker bottles (which they sent me, too), but I like to blend my protein so they can replace milkshakes and fill me more. Quest and Musclepharm both have xanthan gum which make them get really thick and yummy, but this powder doesn't have that so it was a bit more runny and icy.
Still, very impressed and I can't wait to try the chocolate. On Amazon a 2 pound tub is about $27 compared to $32 for Quest, so it's close but honestly I'm blown away by the taste and simple ingredients in PowerCrunch's Proto Whey. About 40 more calories per serving and not quite as much protein, but I don't really work out (I never work out) so I'm not too worried about that. It's so good!
P.S. it's the only other powder I've found besides Quest that I can add water to it and make a protein glaze for my beloved pancakes.

I just tried the double chocolate powder in a recipe for protein cookies and it doesn't taste like a cookie, it tastes identical to a brownie I'm not exaggerating at all I would never be able to notice the difference between a high calorie brownie and this. I'm blown away that was way more chocolate than I've ever tasted in protein powder before! Has anyone tried their other protein powder flavors???? They have a cafe mocha and cookies & cream one, but again only in tubs so I don't know whether to try one of those or get one of these flavors, I'm definitely buying one next week.5

Not new in general but new to me is the whole line of Food for Life products. I love that they're frozen. These prophets pockets have been a lifesaver at college. Since they're frozen I don't worry about them going bad. I got six in a pack for around 3.50! 100 calories each, good ingredients, lower sodium, and has a decent amount of protein! I like to cook an egg in a patty shape, cut it in half and put it in each half and have that for breakfast lunch or dinner. Highly recommend!3 -
Got another Green Chef email... for 50% off my first box. Maybe if I keep waiting I'll get the free one? Sigh.0

Tasty. I love graham crackers and white chocolate always, and they tasted good with the strawberry yogurt.
This is the first Quest bar I really liked, so thumbs up!0 -
So I went to the Vitamin Shoppe today because they sent me a $5 Healthy Awards certificate and I noticed a lot of new stuff!
1.) They FINALLY had the new ONE bars (Maple Glazed Donut and Salted Caramel, I already tried the Blueberry Cobbler and prefer Quest's version so I can't wait to try these new flavors to compare)
2.) I've never seen MuscleMilk Protein Bars before here, so I picked up the Birthday Cake flavor bar... has anyone had these before? Is the peanut butter cookie any good?
3.) I've also never seen MyBar carried here... never even heard of that brand. Again, I picked up the Confetti Cake because that's usually a safe flavor for me, but the iced cinnamon crunch was quite enticing as well. If anyone has tried these bars please let me know how they are!
4.) I decided I was spending too much money so I saw, but did not purchase, the MyCookies. They had like 290 calories each but seemed kind of small so I wanted to come here for opinions before I picked them up... they feel dense kind of like the Buff Bake cookies... anyone know if they're similar or are they not worth it?

Couldn't resist trying the MyBar. It's definitely true to the birthday cake flavor and I'd say it tastes more like birthday cake than OhYeah's bar, I'd get it again. While it does not taste overly artificial, it does have a whey protein taste to it and you can tell it's a protein bar. Still, I'm very impressed with how filling and flavorful it is! I'm also surprised because it's kind of salty, which I didn't expect... I can't tell if I like the saltiness to it or not... normally I would, but it was just very unexpected. 7.5/10 from me!

The Muscle Milk cake flavor disappointed me. It definitely was not awful, but it does not compare to FitJoy's or Oh Yeah! One's cake flavors. I dislike nuts, so I can't speak for the peanut butter. The blueberry waffle cone and raspberry cheesecake flavors were very sweet, which I like. The double fudge brownie and salted caramel were good too, but tasted artificial, with the artificial taste strongest in the double fudge brownie. Of all of the Muscle Milk bars I've tried, the blueberry waffle cone was my favorite.2 -

Muscle Milk peanut butter cookie is my favorite protein bar of them all. Even my husband likes it and he doesn't like any protein bars. I've only tried that one and the brownie one and I loved that one too. I'll be waiting to see how you like the birthday cake.3 -
