    Saw this in the vitamin shoppe, looks like they're copying Optimum Nutrition's Cake Bites right down to the flavors! The cashier said they just came in and she said they're even better/sweeter than ON's bites (plus they're 170 calories instead of 220-230) so I'll probably start getting these from now on... I wonder if they'll be a lot smaller though...
    EDIT: I just realized ThinkThin only has two cakes in each package instead of three, no wonder the calories were less! I went into myfitnesspal and took the ON chocolate donut cake bites I had last night and changed it to 42grams to compare to these... same exact calories and same macros!

    Also noticed this new flavor and couldn't resist! Really hoping all these new flavors are as good as they sound!!!

    LOL probably! The least they could have done was create a different flavor, I mean really, as much as I adore red velvet and birthday cake stuff it's going to get old if they don't branch out for other flavors. They could've done a coffee flavor, carrot cake, cotton candy, cannoli, ANYTHING else! So many options! At least it'll be easy to compare though, if nothing else.

    I tried the pumpkin ThinSlim Foods' cloud cakes and thankfully they're a lot better than the cinnamon flavor, the texture is actually like cake and not a sponge. But when it comes to flavor, Smart Cakes is still the clear winner, ThinSlim's version is VERY fake tasting, way too much sugar alcohol used!

    Also went back to Target for the butter pecan flavored Breyer's Delights since they had 25% off on cartwheel. I'm not impressed, Enlightened's version is way better. The hue is a weird orange and it hardly has any pecans in it. I don't think it tastes fake but it also doesn't have that buttery pecan flavor to it I had hoped for either. Won't buy it again.

    how does this compare to Arctic Zero's version?

    Does Arctic Zero even sell a butter pecan flavor? Really the only flavor I like by them is the peanut butter chunky pint. Arctic Zero is more icy whereas this one definitely has an ice cream feel to it. So far everything I've tasted (including this) from Breyer's Delights just tastes like healthier lower quality ice cream; it's like buying those "frozen dairy desserts" but it being better for you. If I want premium ice cream that's healthy I get Enlightened (since it's more dense/filling), if I want delicious regular ice cream that's healthy I get Halo Top, but Breyer's is like that "I'm settling for it just because I'm watching my budget" healthier frozen dairy dessert that's like ice cream but legally can't call itself that because of how it's made. If Breyer's Delights was a lot less money than Halo Top or Enlightened I think I'd be more optimistic about this pint, but the quality just isn't there.

    Got my Enlightened coupons! Which flavors are the best? I’m not a “light” ice cream eater, and usually have Talenti or Ben and Jerry’s most nights, so my expectations will be tempered

    Have only found and tried Cold Brew Coffee, Sea Salt Caramel and Frozen Hot Cocoa. Really liked all of those. I also found pops much easier than pints.

    Halo Top ice cream (oatmeal cookie flavor) and Kodiack pancakes are amazing! Both are packed with protein and have great flavor!

    The Oatmeal Cookie flavor is my favorite so far! Will have to try the chocolate banana.

    Don't waste your time or money the brownie & cookie dough really isn't all that good :/

    The BEST is chocolate peanut butter (not to be confused with the peanut butter chocolate chip, although that one is pretty good too). The next best is cold brew coffee (only if you like coffee). Other excellent choices are oatmeal cookie, black cherry, butter pecan, frozen hot cocoa, and triple chocolate. Really you can't go wrong with any as long as you just strictly avoid piña colada unless you're a fan of sunscreen getting in your mouth and the snickerdoodle is pretty disappointing but not terrible.

    Thanks!

    Just stocked up on more Talenti (bought Pumpkin Pie, Apple Pie, and Cookie Dough, with 4 more pints in the freezer of various flavors) along with a coupon for $3.00 off 3 pints of Talenti to follow, so I won’t be tempted to rush into using my free coupon.

    Oh, and if anyone shops Kroger, the Hemisfares Italian Hazelnut Gelato is amazing. So smooth and light coffee undertones, and only 180 Calories a serving.

    I actually thought this meant a new flavor was coming but then I saw the packages in Target and now I wanna know if they're all the same flavor or will there be various mystery flavors (cuz I'm extra af like that). (I'm also on tumblr too much.) (Don't judge me.)

    PISSED about this package of Enlightened pops. Obviously melted and refrozen. 2 boxes ruined. Probably the supermarket's fault, but I think I am going back to Yasso.
