To my surprise, that ice cream stuff was in my stockpile of things I’ve been meaning to try. I would assume different proteins would result in different textures, but I used a standard whey with xanthan gum similar to Quest (it always blends the same) and I’m not blown away with the final result. The taste is great, but not too different from how it tastes normally if I blend and freeze it. The texture, as I expected, has many little ice crystals and is far from that smooth, creamy ice cream texture. I feel like it’s a scam, I can definitely make the same thing just freezing regular blended protein. Waste of 150 calories, you can budget that for a banana and get a much better texture the next day.
Haha thanks for the review! Won't try then. Even making the protein fluff soft serve gives a better texture. I hate icy texture in ice cream.1 -
Got these for free to try.
I added frozen raspberry blueberry strawberry to the mix and was pretty good. I think it was because I added the frozen fruit though lol. The base really has no flavor so it’s nothing special. I’ve never had any other protein pancake mix like Kodak cake etc to compare to. I do wish they were a bit fluffier. It wasn’t as good as ihop buttermilk base pancakes but still good. I liked the fact I only needed to add water. Also tried the oatmeal cups and was surprised how much I actually liked the orange cranberry. Didn’t expect it to have nuts in it but there were nice almond slices. I’m not an oatmeal person and this was a lot of calories for one cup (280) but was surprisingly filling. Probably wouldn’t buy because I’m not a huge oatmeal fan and I’d prefer something else but good on the breakfast I might save rest for when I am traveling.

I went to Noodles & Company to try the penne rosa with zucchini noodles (140 Calories not including the steak I ordered in it) and again I’m very impressed. Feels like less zucchini noodles than when I ordered the pesto cavatappi version with it but it was still very filling and had a lot of flavor and perfect texture. Not mushy, just right (and very spicy from the sauce)! My dad tried it and agreed he was very impressed even though neither of us are normally fans of zucchini. I would get again if I’m cutting calories and trying to stay full, but I’m going back to ordering the regular noodles when I crave the stuff and go less often. The spicy pork adobo is the best in my opinion and I am not ordering that with these noodles because it won’t be the same haha

They are light and crispy, not greasy. I thought as a vegetarian they were reminiscent of pork rinds but my non-vegetarian friends who tried them said no. But anyway I loved them and am so disappointed they don't carry them in the stores around me at least that I could find so far. The Margherita Pizza ones were the best but they were all good that i tried. https://shop.enjoylifefoods.com/Plentils/c/EnjoyLife@Snacks@Plentils
After reading your review i got a bag of the garlic parmesan Plentils from Amazon Fresh. SO SO SO SO GOOD! I literally had a quarter of a serving and it was a lot of chips and just right to satisfy the salty crunchy craving. Thanks for posting about them!!!!1 -
Saw this in my email, if anyone tries it I’ll be interested in hearing how they did with it!

On Second Scoop posted Haagen-Dazs' new trio flavors for this year, and they sound really good. Coconut and chocolate ice creams with crispy chocolate layers and caramel sauce, lemon and raspberry ice creams with white chocolate layers and raspberry sauce, and vanilla and caramel ice creams with white chocolate layers and caramel sauce.

The boxes are so heavy! (LOL I say that because I walk to and from the market. I think that's why I lean towards the right when I walk now.) My local Vons/Pavilions/Safeway had (had?) them on sale but you had to buy 4 for the sale price. I haven't yet plus the calories are a little higher than I'd like but I heard they're reeeeeeeally good.0 -

I love shredded mini wheats so much but it takes a massive bowl of them to satisfy me for some reason
Like an 800 calorie bowl 3 -
The buttery maple flavor is surprisingly not that sweet compared to the birthday cake. Still very sweet, just pales in comparison to straight up icing and didn’t have pockets of syrup like I was expecting (probably from having McDonald’s McGriddle cakes in the past and knowing such a thing was possible). Very flaky and oily, buttery dough and feels more like a danish or other high fat pastry that’s a lot of calories. I didn’t add syrup because I feel like that would be overkill but this thing, while initially doesn’t feel as sweet, does begin feeling sweeter and sweeter the more you eat it and thankfully by the end of this small waffle you’re done craving sweets. I give it a 8/10, and the birthday cake one a 10/10. This one would have earned 2 more points for those syrup pockets because that would have been really fun.
I do think there’s small packets of butter, or maybe that’s just because they used so much in this I can’t tell haha

Man I want those flavors so bad!
ETA: apparently they're on sale at 7 eleven.
ETA2: their store locator sucks. It shows nothing available yet my local shop rite has the frozen ones.
ETA3: I've had bad experiences weighing those, by the way. They're sometimes 40 more calories than what the package says (used to be worse... when a serving was 1/2 a waffle and they were like 2.5 serving each and I ended up with 340 calorie waffles). Definitely calorie bombs. Delicious calorie bombs.2 -
