I was on my phone so didnt look at the picture close enough lol but omg yum. I LOVE the graham base. I prefer it to the oreo cookie base.1 -
That's huge. For 70 calories, they're either lying or breaking a law of physics...7 -
As good as the one I make for 1/3 the cost. Totally worth the gazillion calories (to be fair, I was full after 380 calories worth, but you have to add the bread too...).3 -

For the price, I would not buy the bread since it is far more expensive than light bread at the store and isn't nice and soft. Sometimes I am not in the mood for super soft bread though and want something more hearty. This really felt like a 90 calorie piece of bread and was pretty thick. It had a nice nutty taste to it as well. 7/10
The brownie was not good. Tasted like walden farms chocolate syrup, yuck. The almond one was okay, but just kind of tasted like a warmed up protein cake in a mug. Nothing I would buy again.
I found the texture of the bread to be a little weird - too sponge-y for me. Of the baked good, I kind of liked the vanilla muffin, but couldn't eat the others. I am holding out hope for the pasta though. I love pasta and I'm hoping this one tastes ok. I am thinking about using it in a tuna casserole or something like that to cut the calories.
I agree, the texture was not like normal bread. I love the soft 45 calorie wheat bread I have and this was more of an ezekiel bread or gluten free bread consistency. I did enjoy it though toasted and felt like I was eating hearty slice for the calories. I wouldn't buy for how much money they are though and with mediocre taste, definitely not worth it.
Same here with the pasta. I've been saving it to try. I am hoping it will be decent because it seems like a pretty huge serving size for the calories. I can't stand any of the tofu/miracle pastas. I haven't had pasta in years because I usually don't find it that great or worth all the calories.
The pasta isn't anything at all like the shirataki miracle pastas! But they're definitely not regular pasta, either. They're not as soft, they're more chewy but also REALLY REALLY REALLY filling. Personally I sort of enjoy them, but you can definitely tell they're not regular noodles. At least they're shelf-stable and don't have a funky smell if nothing else XD
Also, Junk Banter posted more flavors of this yogurt... *drools* I already looked at Shoprite and nothing yet :'c
I saw those at Shop Rite (not my usual one)... but $1.75 and 280 calories, I figured I'd wait until someone else tries them. They had a couple other flavors too.
Shop Rite is so weird though. That place had those and a new kind of Chobani yogurt (different cup, looks fancier, says 'a hint of x' flavors on it, but there was no price tag so I didn't buy them), but they don't have the whole milk Chobani cups that I got last time at my regular Shop Rite (I'd totally buy those again).
I did look out of curiosity for that Haagen Dazs caramel and the gingerbread HT but no luck.0 -

You will *never* see equipment like this in a reputable gym. (Or at least I would hope not.)

Is that a giant aloe vera leaf?! What do you do with that? I'm from Canada and I've NEVER seen that in the produce section...do you eat it? How do you cook it? Why is it in the produce department?!
I am in Canada too and you can buy aloe Vera leaves at our local Longos (which is a produce store - plus some other stuff). I have no idea what to do with it either other than use it on burns. I have had Buddha hands which were quite nice.

Did you cook, bake, or eat the Buddha hands raw? Is there anything similar you can compare it to? I'm still torn whether or not I should go back and try it xD

Well, the nutritional label says 70 calories for approx 2.2 oz which I converted to 62 grams since I like being specific. When I weighed it, it actually came to 84 grams, making it actually closer to 94-95 calories if the label is accurate. Still not a lot of calories for how sweet and real it tastes! I don't eat them often because honestly I don't trust them 100% myself, the company says they were independently tested for accuracy but I would really like to see someone from the FDA test their label's accuracy as I still find it hard to believe...Noreenmarie1234 wrote: »Noreenmarie1234 wrote: »I did like the thinslim bread.

That's not a bad price at all for how delicious they look! Not something I would eat every single day but I definitely intend to pick it up the second I see it. I really hope I can find the caramel macchiato flavor!
Also, Brazi Bites (which I've found at Wegmans and like a lot but are too expensive to buy each grocery trip) has a coupon they posted on their Facebook: https://brazibites.com/share-the-love/?utm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=Social
It's similar to those other campaigns where the goal is to forward the email to a friend for the coupon. I usually forward it from my main Yahoo account to my student email account, I can assume most of us probably have more than one email address to cheat the system xD0 -

Well, it officially happened. I opened my freezer to enjoy a pint of delicious Halo Top and after my first bite I noticed something was horribly wrong... I accidentally picked up the dairy free vegan pints -.- I knew it was bound to happen eventually, I seriously wish with a strong passion they would have marked the pints more distinctly >.< I wouldn't wish pea protein upon my worst enemy! Even worse? I paid full price for five of these, and I didn't keep my receipt ugh.3

Ouch... I'm just waiting for it to happen to me lol1 -
I JUST SUFFERED THROUGH THAT PINT AND LITERALLY RIGHT AFTER I FINISHED MY FATHER COMES INSIDE AND GIVES ME THIS. HE FOUND IT AT HARVEST FARE, SOME REALLY SMALL LOCAL STORE THAT DIDNT EVEN SELL HALO TOP WHEN I WAS THERE JUST LAST WEEK. I’ll report back tomorrow o///o By the way, if anyone happens to live in Maryland near Harvest Fare, this coffee is the best coffee hands down

Finally tried birthday cake questbars that I bought black friday sales. WOW Loved it! One of the best birthday cake bars I've had. I loved the frosting on the outside. I like how it has no taste of lemon which I hate in many of the birthday cake bars. It tasted exactly like funfetti cupcakes. I think may be one of my top quest bar flavors. (Although I was starving when I ate it,
so maybe that affected my tastes since all the reviews I've read weren't very good lol)
I will try again tomorrow and see if I still think they are great.

Why not? Plenty of trainers I know like them. Lots of positives for the versaclimber.0 -

I agree these are the the best birthday cake flavored protein bars out there, not artificial, waxy, and they have a great texture. The MusclePharm birthday cake bars tasted like lemon to me so these were definitely a relief to have and not be disappointed with xD2 -

You're talking about the Versaclimber. We're not talking about the Versaclimber. I'm a big fan of the Versaclimber. We're talking about the MaxiClimber. The Versaclimber is a well-designed piece of equipment that will provide hundreds of hours of use (for several thousand dollars). The MaxiClimber, however, only makes an excellent clothes rack for hanging laundry (and is available at Walmart or online for about $190.)
So to clarify, you will *never* see a MaxiClimber in a reputable gym.
(I've used a Versaclimber. I know the Versaclimber well. The Versaclimber is a friend of mine. MaxiClimber, you're no Versaclimber.

Picked this up last month. Honestly on it’s own, it’s not very good. It tastes nothing like pumpkin spice and just like... Pumpkin. Imagine drinking squash water. Lol
BUT today I brewed it in a cup alongside a bag of English breakfast and added some cream. It’s really good! Gives the tea a nice hint of pumpkin smell and flavor. I also want to try steeping it in some coffee and then adding some cream and pumpkin pie spice.1 -
Wow even the mocha skinny syrup was fantastic! Never had a chocolate SF syrup that I've liked.
Also tried the peanut butter and wasn't very good. Peanut butter coffee isn't the best combo and I wasn't sure what else to use it in. I will try adding to something later on, maybe plain greek yogurt, shake, or that protein angel food cake I've been meaning to make.
So far my TOP favorite is the salted caramel.2 -

Any guesses?
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.)
I just tried a half of one. The only mystery to me is why did I waste calories eating it.0 -
