I just had the Ben & Jerry's PB Core ice cream.
[/quote]
Omg, I had the salted carmel one. It was super good and the blondie pieces were amazing. I want to try the cheesecake core one. However, I was really disappointed, there was about 2 tablespoons of carmel core. I know the sugar and calorie content would be through the roof if there was a bigger core, but I was expecting like a 1/2 cup core center.0 -
Yoplait Oui Yogurt specifically in coconut and vanilla. Best yogurt I've tasted so far.5

The caramel macchiato flavor is my FAVORITE. I can't find it anymore though and I'm so frustrated!
Like you, I didn't want to try the chocolate banana because I find banana flavored things to be very unexciting and unappetizing (who eats banana flavored laffy taffy, anyways?)
However, I strongly urge you to go back and reconsider it! It tastes more like Dippin Dots banana split flavored ice cream, which is much more balanced and enjoyable than just straight up "chocolate covered banana." The name really doesn't do it justice.
The candy bar is very underwhelming and the pancakes & waffle pint is very artificial tasting, be warned. The mochi green tea, while I enjoyed it, doesn't really taste that much like green tea. Personally I thought it tasted close to key lime, I'm curious if you'll agree with me on that or if I just have messed up taste buds XD
*raises hand sheepishly*
Artificial banana flavour is my favourite, I love it even though on an intellectual level I realize it's kind of gross, haha. The faker the better. On the other hand, I haaaaaaate artificial grape and think it's the worst thing and it ruins everything.
We're out there. There might even be dozens of us...lol.

Indeed, they thankfully don't have that nasty lemon flavor, but they're only tolerable. Quest missed the mark. I bought two boxes from VitaminShoppe and immediately returned the unopened box. The One Bar Birthday Cake bar still reins supreme, and FitJoy's and Muscle Milk's Birthday Cake flavors are still better than the Quest version.
This is my new favorite protein cookie!
I told my sister to get me a box or two for Christmas.
Something needs to replace Lenny & Larry's now ruined Birthday Cake cookies, and I *have* seen those around, but I was wary of other protein cookie products after Buff Bake's cookies sorely disappointed me. I'll definitely give them a try. Thanks! ^^
It's not as soft as a Lenny & Larry cookie, but kind of dense like a protein bar. I found that it definitely lived up to it's name of Birthday Cake taste wise & aesthetically as well.1 -
Had this last night for dinner & like the original Lentil Zucchini variety it was very tasty! Definitely tasted more like pasta than vegetables & the alfredo sauce was a welcome addition. I'm not usually a big sauce fan in general so I was shocked that I liked it. This will definitely be a repeat purchase. There's also a marinara variety, but I'm not a huge spaghetti sauce/marinara sauce fan so I won't be trying that one.4 -
How new is this? It's been a while since I looked at Talenti's, but it's on sale at Shop Rite and I had a coupon, so whatever... Either way, it's very tasty... nice cookie chunks in there!
Haagen Dazs was on sale also but still none of that caramel flavor.5 -
If i remember correctly, artificial banana flavoring is supposed to taste like the bananas that we used to have until a fungus wiped them all out in the 40s or 50s. Thats why it dosent actually taste like banana5

kellyjellybellyjelly wrote: »Honestly, I was hoping for a lot more vanilla icing swirls in this pint and I'm a little disappointed I didn't find any globs of it like I imagined. Still, this is a pretty solid gingerbread pint with not much room for improvement! The gingerbread spices are extremely pronounced and impossible to ignore, definitely not a subtle pint! I was expecting gingerbread, but not to be slapped across the face with it and that's how I felt - WOW! If those pfeffernusse cookies I got at Aldi's that I was raving about were made into an ice cream, this would be it. The more I ate it, the more obsessed I became. If anyone here was a fan of their cinnamon roll flavor, it almost tastes like the base used in that pint but with an added ginger/molasses component making it more well rounded. I do notice the stevia quite a bit which might put some people off who are sensitive to sweeteners, but with all the gingerbread spices I didn't mind it at all. I give it 8.5/10, the only thing that would improve it is those globs of vanilla icing swirl I had been hoping for! I taste them, but if I can't see or feel them it's hard to appreciate as much
Found it at Giant yesterday & bought one pint! OMG this is definitely my favorite Halo Top flavor!! I'm wondering if you got a bad pint? I noticed a lot of vanilla swirl & it definitely makes the ice cream extremely sweet in a good way. I wish the Gingerbread pieces were a little more crunchy, but the swirl definitely makes up for that. I usually like to eat Halo Top when it's more dense than thawed so that could be why I'm noticing the swirl more. Too bad this can't be a regular flavor instead of most of the newer ones that came out a few months ago.
Today I went back to Giant & got the last five that were in stock. Of course now that the flavor is in I can't find my two coupons for $1.50 off a pint.
hunted the Gingerbread House flavor down at Whole Foods near my office... absolutely love it for what it is - low-calorie, high-protein, and low-sugar "ice cream."1 -

Haagen Dazs was on sale also but still none of that caramel flavor.
It's been out since February or March - came out at the same time as vanilla chai, vanilla blueberry crumble (which also has delicious cookie crumble pieces in it), and peanut butter fudge sorbetto (one of my absolute favorite Talenti flavors).

I've been paranoid about having snacks in the house for fear of scoffing the lot.
However, these delicious, thin chocolate biscuits come in at 30 cals each or something. Two of them with a cup of coffee is a lovely treat that doesn't spoil my day nor put my blood sugar up too much
EDIT: appreciate these may be a UK only product
EDIT: it says 'NEW' on the packaging
I love digestive biscuits! They have them at my grocery store international section. My favorite are the chocolate covered ones.
yes the ones I buy are coated in chocolate on one side
what they got right was the chocolate to biscuit thickness ratio AND the crispness - they snap pleasingly but then dissolve nicely too
super effort to make these0 -
FINALLY got my paws on some pumpkin puffins. Strangely, all fall I could not find them anywhere. Today Woodmans had them on sale for 2.99. A HUGE display. Maybe I'm blind??
Super nice pumpkin flavor, not overwhelming with spices which I was afraid of. 2 servings = 220 calories, low sugar and a lot of fiber so I will probably be buying this again as long as they have it!1 -
Yup I tried Halo Top’s gingerbread house again and you guys were right, a lot more icing! I don’t know what happened to that first pint o: my dad tried it too and agrees it tastes just like those pfeffernusse cookies at Aldi’s XD4

Is this something the kids are doing with words again...like how saying something is "bad" actually means it's good...or "sick" actually means it's awesome?

These are SO GOOD. The olives are delicious and the blue cheese isn’t weird; it’s nice and it on the same flavor “level” as the olive. I think they might only be seasonal in which case I will cry for a year4 -
Whew, definitely spicy (sometimes products that advertise spicy miss the mark by a lot).
This flavor was a welcome addition (ate it out of the pack) compared to the pouches that just have the tuna & no other mix-ins. I don't remember how spicy this one was, but I don't think it was spicier than the tapato.0 -
Finally got the andrea’s protein treats shipped to me. The frosting was 60 calories (not including almond milk which probably made it around 70 calories) and the cake itself was 260 calories microwaved with the applesauce included.
Definitely not for someone with a sensitive stomach to erythritol or someone who hates the taste of it. VERY heavy and the cake at times too much for even me to handle, the frosting WAS too much for me to handle and I couldn’t finish it. The cake had a slight weird texture similar to the ThinSlim Foods cloud cakes I didn’t like because it was dry yet wet at the same time... like soggy paper. Not something I’ll pay for again, but if nothing else it was definitely filling and killed my sweet tooth... I don’t even want to think of anything sweet I feel so nauseous now. Lil Buff is much better when it comes to tasting like cake and not so many sweeteners. I don’t think I’ll eat a full serving of this stuff again... I have a high tolerance for sugar alcohols so if I have to wave the white flag on this one I don’t know who would be brave enough to handle a full packet.

Miyoko's vegan cheese. I'm vegetarian but I'm always on the lookout for new vegan products to try out, especially because it turns out I'm mildly lactose intolerant. This cheese is made from mostly cashews and is cultured and aged so that it's like dairy cheese, unlike most other vegan cheeses. I recently tried the VeganMozz over Thanksgiving (which is supposed to be like fresh mozzarella) and it was pretty good (really the only vegan cheese that I've tried so far, that I would buy again). But I realized that my supermarket actually carries some of the cream cheese-like varieties (I think they have the garlic and herb and the chive). So now I want to try those out. They are expensive since they're made from cashews but good to have on a special occasion. This is not an entirely new product (it came out a few years ago) but it's new to me.

Noreenmarie1234 wrote: »Heads-up: I bought my last box of Lenny & Larry's Birthday Cake cookies in August and having finall come down to my last cookie, I restocked with GNC's Black Friday sale. There's been a formula change that I do NOT like. The cookies are somewhat okay as they are, but they heat up too fast in the microwave and taste awful even with little heat. I don't mind the extra 20 calories per serving, but I do mind the compromised taste. Even worse, GNC retail stores do NOT process refunds or exchanges for orders paid through PayPal. Had I known I had to deal with the hassle of return labels and shipping, I would've paid directly with my card. The entire reason I like buying from online stores with retail locations is that I would rather not deal with return shipping. On a positive note, the classic Chocolate Chip flavor is even more chocolatey than before.
I love the change in the cinnamon snickerdoodle. They are amazing now. They have sooooo much cinnamon sugar. Before I was always annoyed when I would get ones without much and they would be bland and taste like play dough. Haven’t tried the birthday cake though or any others. I also only buy the small cookies which for some reason I think taste a lot better than the larger ones because they aren’t as thick and the cinnamon sugar to cookie ratio is higher lol
Interesting. I only every buy the big 4oz cookies because they're cheaper ($0.42 per ounce per case versus $0.54 per ounce per case from the VitaminShoppe). However, if the small cookies are tastier, I might just buy them from now on. I'll definitely try them. Thanks!
Hmmm I had a different box today and now they didn't have as much cinnamon sugar and didn't taste as good. Had strange taste. I HATe how variable the cookies are from box to box. I've noticed the lack of manufacturing consistency before when one box was burnt compared to another. Kind of annoying you never know what to expect.0 -

Another otherwise delicious food ruined by attempts to add protein (and remove sugar). 3 -

Just tried the blueberry cheesecake ON cake bites. 3/10. Maybe it’s because the cake and frosting last night had so much erythritol in it that now my body is rejecting it, but all I could taste was that sweetener and then some whey and artificial blueberry flavor. Not impressed at all. I don’t think anything can beat Quest’s Blueberry Cobbler Hero Bar, now THAT is a solid blueberry flavored protein product.
