Holy crap!
Could you just splurge & put some of the calories in other days to even out over the course of a week?1 -
These were interesting. Not very sweet like I expected. I was expecting them to be sweeter kind of like pb2’s crackers.
They had a very strong corn taste like a Cheeto without cheese, which is probably what I should have expected given that’s what they are lol.
They grew on me as I ate them, but not something I’d buy again.0 -

Nice!
I wonder if the Movie Night flavor will taste like Yuenling's ice cream popcorn concoction a few years ago, but lower calorie?
I'm surprised Giant doesn't carry more Enlightened than they do.1 -
These were really good. Probably the best vegan protein powder drinks I’ve tried. My favorite was the coffee one. It was like a bottled Starbucks drink and had a nice sweet coffee flavor. Second favorite was dark chocolate. Super rich dark chocolate flavor.
Usually I don’t like vegan protein powders because they aren’t the best or have a weird taste. The vanilla was good but boring and not something I’d want to waste calories on. I loveeee the coffee one in the morning. I did realize they sent me shakes that were a year expired and didn’t realize until AFTER I drank them LOL. I didn’t have any side effects though. They also came in powdered packs but I liked the pre made ones.
Also tried these chocolate bites. Got free sample. You can write company and ask they send or do free first delivery trial and then just cancel once first order is shipped
. I didn’t feel any energy from them lol. But I am really tolerant to caffeine (I can drink 2 cup of coffee an hour before bed). They tasted like chocolate coffee beans and the actual chocolate wasn’t that good. Like cheap no name chocolate you can buy in bulk bins at the grocery store. Wouldn’t buy. 0 -

I could but that also generally sets me up for failure the following days because I feel like I'm being deprived :') I'll probably just pass on these, but they do look good!0 -

WOW 1480 JUST for the pancakes?! They must be amazing. I think denny's/ihop/etc are having a competition who can make the highest calorie, most deliciously decadent pancakes LOL.2 -

So, share them with people. Then you and your group can all try them. And then get a side of eggs and spinach or something.3 -
Not bad, but too sweet... and you can hardly taste the yogurt part. Will remove some fruit next time. Macros are awful. Not worth the calories.4 -

I need the Glazed Donut in my life (I think)!! Can't wait to read the review!2 -

I would eat the peach one as I am obsessed with peach. Can never have too many peaches lol (I drink smoothies every day and one of my regulars is peach Boost juice with frozen peaches and unflavoured protein powder)0 -
So apparently Subway is rolling out wraps nationally now. I never normally go to Subway, but I'd be interested in hearing how well they executed these! Brand Eating's website says they have three varieties, but when I went to Subway's website and looked up my store I found 25 o:
Also, Junk Banter found the last of the newest Enlightened flavors.... my heart is melting (but slightly disappointed it's not cotton candy or carrot cake)
Oh man those wraps have been dominating my subway for the last week. The wraps are around 800 calories each and corporate has been pushing us to promote them so hard. Just the wrap alone is 300 calories! We had a lot of training on how to fold em and proper portioning because even a little more lettuce than usual can make them so hard to close. I still have had to retrain some employees on closing them. We've sent out some coupons in my area too to get people to buy them, and we are supposed to be verbally suggesting wraps every time. Although, the feedback I have received from my regulars who tried em is 'meh, not the same as my sub, weird that the wrap itself isn't warm' too high cal, and they have all ended up going back to their usual sub. If you are a die hard wrap fan though I think they are yummy, especially the tomato basil flavored wrap!1 -

It's too bad that you guys can't use these for the wraps. They'd shave 200 calories off the wrap and add even MORE veggies.

Are they promoting them as 'healthier' too? I still can't wrap my head around how wraps are always labeled as healthier than bread...5 -

Thanks for saving me 700-800 calories of disappointment! ;p I was genuinely interested at first!1 -

They aren't that amazing. They have been around for years by me and nothing special. I mean who would want higher calorie boring wrap when you could have fresh baked bread?
Also FREE oreo candy coupon! I been wanting to try these. Giving away 1 million lol so you should be sure to get one. https://mondelezoreobirthdaygiveaway.promo.eprize.com/#register5 -

We haven't really been pushing them as healthier but I do have to hold myself back from telling customers who say stuff like "I'll eat light today and get a wrap" that its probably near double the calories of the six inch they usually get

Kind of absurd that the wraps are 300 calories when you can get a foot long of their Italian bread for 400. I'll take 100 extra calories to be that much fuller at the end of the day!2 -
The coconut caramel Yasso pint was good, but I was disappointed with the coffee brownie bliss and chocolate peanut butter flavors. The coffee just tasted like frozen watery coffee, and the brownie pieces tasted undercooked. Chocolate had a weird flavor - I'm not sure that chocolate works with frozen yogurt. The peanut butter swirl was disappointing too, as it was a very salty peanut butter and made the whole thing taste weirder. I'd stick with the non chocolate and non coffee based Yasso pints - I'm liking those flavors quite a bit.3 -

Thanks for the review and pictures! Sounds too mediocre to waste so many calories on since I know they’d be gone in one sitting.
So per the suggestions to check Target for these, it was a success! I LOVE them! Overly sweet and while my dad said they tasted only like spicy cake to him, I swear they’re carrot cake flavored. The inside icing would’ve been better cream cheese flavor, but the drizzle on top is cream cheese so that makes up for it. Very, very sweet. Just the sugar bomb I needed in my life, personally I think Little Debbie nailed it.

Anyone find any interesting Easter candy this year?
I've only bought a package of White Chocolate Reese's Eggs & one single Cadbury & Reese's egg.
Giant used to get a lot of different varieties of the Russell Stover eggs like Cookie Dough, Wedding Cake, Birthday Cake, etc.

What did you think of the White Chocolate Reese's Egg? I think I like them as much as the milk chocolate ones.
And, yeah, there doesn't seem to be much out there this year.
