    I've been on a bit of a protein hype the past few weeks and was really looking around for some good bars and found Quest Bars, I bought the 'Cookies and Cream' and 'Double Chocolate Chunk'. They're horrible, they taste like artificial sweetener and salt, and I can never stomach more than half a bar in one sitting, I've found that they're more palatable when cold, although that means they're harsh on your teeth. But despite all that, they're really good for you, and not a bad (even if horrid tasting) filling snack for on the go.

    I'm interested in trying the Quest Protein chips though, and have bought some BBQ flavoured ones which I'm still waiting on in the post. Fingers crossed they taste better than the bars, and also better than 'Protein Bites' by Novo which carry a very strange taste regardless of flavour.

    I love Quest bars, well at least those flavors, but I always microwave them for 15 seconds. Yum. I like the Quest chips a lot too, but I didn't like the BBQ ones as much as the other ones (haven't tried the salt and vinegar ones).

    I came across "Pure Protein" bars, the best bar so far that I have tried. Low in sugar and really nice chocolate taste. The dark chocolate coconut is really good, sometimes top it with homemade peanut butter for a Reese peanut butter cup experience. Definitely crush the sugar cravings and you get 19-20 grams protein. The peanut butter one is pretty good, taste/texture like Butterfinger to me anyway. Haven't tried the others yet.

    Good News: Oreo O's are coming back this June!!!! Bad News: I heard it's going to be at Walmart, which (mine at least) never did get that Malt-o-Meal cereal similar to it, so they BETTER have this!!!

    I really like the allulose. It does leave an aftertaste but it's a sweet one that stays with you a while. It's pleasant to me. :)

    To be honest, I'm envious your tastebuds experience it that way.

    I really liked that chocolate flavor. I also thought it was a satisfying, filling bar.

    That minty thing just got me.

    I went to GNC to use a coupon and got one of each... we'll see... Still no One maple donut bar but they had the salted caramel one and blueberry crumble. Any feedback so I know what to expect?

    I personally didn't care for the Blueberry crumble ONE bar as much as Quest's blueberry muffin Protein Bar, but that's just me. The salted caramel wasn't a repeat purchase for me, either, personally I'm in the minority in thinking the ONE bars are a bit too sweet in an artificial way. The maple donut one is the only one I keep buying, but hopefully you'll like them more than I did! It just really comes down to how big of a ONE fan you are, if the other bars were satisfying for you then you'll like them without a doubt!

    I've seen that on the walmart website but I have this thing about my cereals being 110 calories or under (have I mentioned lately that I'm weird? :)) I'm pretty sure the only thing that will override that particular quirk is going to be the oreos cereal because...c'mon! OREOS!!!!!

    Confirmed for this weekend at Walmart. The center is raspberry flavored which I'm not too fond of but I'll probably end up trying anyway. :)

    Gah. Why does it have to be Walmart?

    OMG the caramel ones! So dangerous though...


    So breakfast

    th?id=OIP.0FfsEpBPtsvWSB2RgMNvMAEsEs&pid=15.1&P=0&w=300&h=300

    Tastes like their cereal bars with a sweet coating to me. Barely taste the caramel. No mint aftertaste (yay). I do like them, but it's definitely not as satisfying as a candy bar!

    Quest-Hero-Chocolate-Caramel-Pecan-Protein-Bar.jpg

    Yeah this one is definitely closer to a candy bar. No mint either. Chocolate does taste a bit artificial to me but it's still overall pretty tasty and something I could buy more regularly if it didn't cost so much. Again though, definitely reminds me of the Quest beyond chocolate bar.

    Now let's see how long two of those bars keep me full for breakfast, lol.

    OMG! YAY that you don't taste the mint. I'm going to give that chocolate one another go, because I really want to like it.

    150cal for 4 thats FOUR measly cookies????!!!!!! HEEELLLLLLL NO!!!!!
    I still dont understand peoples infatuation with Oreos lol

    That is the thing about cookies--they're so calorie dense! Even cookies made with IHO syrup aren't great...

    Ugh, you are dead to me. :p

    Most store bought cookies are about 75 calories each. The oreo thins are...er...thin but also a good sized cookie so 4 instead of 2 works. :)

    I won't try the coconut but, since I ended up loving the salted caramel Halo Top (the "salted" part always makes me shy away), I'll try those.

    I finally gave in and put Halo Top in my grocery order. Peanut butter cup and salted caramel. We'll see... :p

    Curious about what you'll think of the salted caramel one! I seem to be the only one who doesn't care for it...

    And to make sure I was well-rounded, I also ordered Ben and Jerry's Oat of this Swirled. Their Oatmeal Cookie flavor was one of my favorites, so of course they discontinued it. I'm hoping this new flavor is close!

    The first week of July I'm taking a two week vacation to Florida with my family and we're turning the power off to save money, which means we have to use up what's left in the freezer and I won't be able to stock up as much as I'd like to with this sale, but Halo Top's golden ticket giveaway begins today so this is definitely something everyone should take advantage of! I wonder if I can find ANY of Enlightened's new flavors in my local store yet...

    Also saw this and got excited thinking it was red velvet *sigh* at least they have a cotton candy one out there somewhere!!

    I feel kind of bad for Arctic Zero because they were really the first "healthy" ice cream-like product on the market and were ahead for so long, but they're product is just so bad... it's emabrassing how far behind they've fallen on social media and production (cutting flavor extensions, etc.). especially since Halo Top and Enlightened have grown exponentially in such a short time. Comeback story? Guess we'll find out :p

    I tried the DiGorno Ultra Thin Pizza tonight (sausage supreme). 1/2 pizza for 270 calories is pretty decent. It didn't skimp on flavor or sausage (surprisingly). Parts of the Pizza in the center were a little chewy but that could be because I didn't directly place the Pizza in the oven.
    Not sure if this is a quality issue or not but it looked like 1/2 the Pizza was veggie only (see the pic). Forgot to take a picture after I took it out of the oven. I was hungry and it smelled so good while it was cooking.
    I'll definitely re-purchase when it's on sale. I hope I can find the garlic spinach mushroom flavor someone posted a few pages back. Found in Kroger. Thanks to whomever posted it!yes797q6t0vd.jpg

    GNC did not have them yet, but I found this at Walgreens. Am I behind the times on this, too? :D

    I'm going to try it tomorrow. I'll let you know.

    I liked this one a little more than the vanilla, but it still isn't something I'll ever buy again or recommend. It has good potential, but that weird artificial/chemical aftertaste ruined it.

    Sigh one day I will find it.

    I actually really liked that one. More than the vanilla one for sure.
