If it's actually rainbow colored I might be suckered in for the same reason I was suckered in to shell out so much money to have those Rainbow Bagels shipped to me which tasted no better than regular bagels :')
Where did you find this, what store?2 -
We had Birthday Cek and it was not rainbow, but tasty. Star Market near Boston.2

I speak on behalf of my mother when I say those chocolate Energems have been a staple in my household since before they rebranded to BeOn gems or whatever they are now. My mom only likes the berry flavored, but I like them all. I agree, weird off-taste to them but I like how the texture is similar to those mega oversized m&ms. My mom needs these to stay awake while driving to work because she hates coffee and I can attest if you have enough of them (for me the limit is 3-4) you will feel it! Personally, I’d rather save the calories and get a lightly sweetened coffee. Side note, my mom swears they constipate her. She continues eating them anyways >~> but she spends WAY too much money on them!!!!
I still have some of the original for comparisons in the old design, but the taste is identical I don’t think the recipe changed...
HAHA! I had no clue they were energems before. I remember seeing those all the time. The bad part for me is they are like big m and m's so I could easily eat a few packs at once. Thanks for the warning.
Have you ever tried lindas diet delites protein bars?? They send code for free box to my email so I was thinking about tryingthe fluffer nutter or caramel pretzel. I LOVE that they use iso-IMOs like the old quest bars did. (The ones I was addicted to and ate 4/5 a day LOL) So they look promising. Wondering if you have ever tried them.
If anyone else is interested in trying something if you create a new account any of these codes work..

Just wish they had free shipping.
Isn’t it free shipping for orders over $100? I order way too much from them, all those codes work and are worth using! As for the protein bars, I’ve been hooked for years but they’re nothing like quest; not as thick and chewy. The fluffy vanilla crisp is one of my favorites because it’s like a rice crispy treat, but you can’t go wrong with any of them EXCEPT the chocolate which tastes really really weird and no one in my family likes.
Definitely worth trying since they’re free
Thank you! I ended up ordering them. Free, but still have to pay shipping so it forces you to buy other stuff too. I see what they are trying to do
Let me know what you think!
Also, guys.... there are no convenient Cheesecake Factory locations close to me, so if anyone happens to go and splurge on these PLEASE let me know if it’s worth the hour and a half drive! My only complaint is they look really thin, I prefer pancakes thick and fluffy o:
Now if they would post their nutrition information like they're supposed to... I'd try them, but brunch is only on Sundays obviously, and it's pretty much never going to happen.
And now I want pancakes.
I had no clue brunch was only available certain days, but I wrote to them anyways...
Nope.
Not happening.
Is there some unspoken competition between Denny's, Bob Evans, and Cheesecake Factory to see who can release the more caloric stack of pancakes? If so, we should have never doubted Cheesecake Factory's ability to end out on top.

Cheesecake Factory lemon ricotta pancakes are really good! I get them every Mother's Day. The recipe is actually on their web site. And I think it's 1400 for three good size ones if memory serves. You can find Cheesecake Factory nutrition info pretty easily as some states require it.
Brunch is only on weekends but their breakfast menu is all the time. Is this a brunch specific item? Probably the lemon ones are
I made cinnamon banana protein pancakes today that came out soooo good.1 -

HAHAAH figures. I think they get the prize for highest calorie pancakes. The newly released ones from Denny ihop keep trying to one up each other. Now I am craving not only pancakes but fresh baked cinnamon rolls.3 -

@Noreenmarie1234 try these. I made them today. Banana cinnamon protein pancakes and they came out really good. I used 1% milk instead of water, mashed both of bananas into the mix, and used a quarter cup scoop instead of a third of a cup. They came out to 106 cal each and eight protein. I got 17 pancakes out of the batter

I just discovered blaze pizza! It's SOO good. Thin crust. Just enough sauce. And perfectly cooked.
Basically subway for pizza as you pick your toppings. I had chicken with red and yellow pepper and omg it's to die for3 -

I second that the TJs stir fried cauliflower rice is very good! Has garlic and ginger, and is great on its own, or with chicken added.3 -

Where did you find this, what store?
My kids and I went to the Big Gay Ice Cream store in Philly. We really weren't impressed--the store itself was fun, but the ice cream was nothing special. This would probably be the Rainbow Bagel experience.

Lord help me, it's not ending... IHOP has new pancake flavors... thank GOD they're less calories but that's still quite a bit!
I could never afford to spend 1000 calories on pancakes. I'd be completely starving the rest of the day, lol. I'm so jealous of people who can really push CICO that way (I have a friend who'll have a 300 calorie coffee and an apple fritter for breakfast and lunch and be totally fine. Not fair).1 -

At my best I can save up to 840 calories for a dinner but it requires some hunger throughout the day I’ll be honest. I’m hoping to try these pancakes tonight, but only if I can get some others to go with me so I can have 1/4 of each which should be closer to 690 calories then I’ll try to drink plenty of water to fill up. If I start my day that high in calories I’ll have no motivation to stick to my goals the rest of the day, I rely on food motivation too much haha!
I saw these Verb bars in a sponsored post on Facebook where I could try three for free if I just pay $3.95 for shipping. I’m actually really impressed, they’re REALLY good and those here who hate artificial tasting foods or protein bars will love these. Nothing is fake about them and they’re just sweet enough to be satisfying and I didn’t want another by the time I was done even though it was smaller than the typical protein bar (45g compared to Quest’s 60g Bar). It’s 190 calories and has 100mg of caffeine, which I’ll be honest and admit wasn’t enough to give me any buzz, but I enjoyed it with my coffee nonetheless. I’d buy it again!

My son works at Blaze. They have to add more of the topping if you ask them to do it... so ask away with all of those veggies! They'll keep piling them on if you ask! 1 slice of the simple pie is just over 100 calories, and the veggies won't add much more. It really is delicious!!4 -
Not really a food, but bought this little spice grinder to powder my erythritol with:
Powdered erythritol is supposed to be less “cooling” than granulated and it’s so true! This little grinder works so well and gives me powdered sugar consistency. I whirred up a little to put in my plain yogurt today and it was perfect.
On a food note I just tried the Quest birthday cake bar... microwaved for 10 seconds it was literally like a melty piece of cake. So SO good!
Also, when my sister was here last week for my beeday we got some Popeyes and some of their blackened ranch. The ranch was exceptional. I used up my last packet today and I’m SO sad!3 -
FREEE GOOD FOOD MADE SIMPLE breakfast burritos coupon. https://www.socialnature.com/direct3/breakfast-burrito?referrer=facebookad
Never saw these, but if it's free I'll try it lol1 -
I was feeling annoyed that my local grocery stores either didn't carry Enlightened or only carried the boring flavors instead of flavors I *love* like the Fudge Brownie I got to try when I visited another state, but I stopped by Publix the other day, and THEY ADDED MORE FLAVORS!! They even have two of the new flavors! I didn't buy any because I have rules for what I spend on food (well under $6 for a pint of ice cream, <$1 for yogurt, etc.), but I can't wait to try them out when they go on sale! I also saw Chillyow! Those tubs looked small in the pictures posted here, but irl, they're a decent size for ~200 calories.

So I had the english sticky toffee this weekend, also tried the tres leches pancakes (and had a bite of my girlfriend's waffle sandwich!!!!) verdict: sticky toffee pancakes were great for about two bites and then insanely sickeningly sweet after. I gave the rest to my daughter. The tres leches pancakes were delicious. The breakfast waffle sandwich was decent, not worth the calories in my opinion and difficult to eat as they were saturated in syrup. All in all, tres leches were a hit, eh on the rest.

The raw chocolate co's chocolate mulberries.
I have also been toasting the bread and topping with banana and cinnamon.
Finally, red lentil pasta is a savour!0 -

Ugh I can't do meat and syrup. I was horrified the first time I came to the US and ordered pancakes with meat and they put everything on the same plate (even worse with French toast). Just can't.
Ok I don't know if this flavor is new but I'm not sure I'll buy this one again. Just seems way sweeter than the others for some reason and the vanilla really is TOO potent.

I hate myself but have no regrets.
I agree, the English Toffee Pancakes were sickeningly sweet. This is probably why they were my favorite, the filling reminded me of the filling in pecan pie xD the Belgian chocolate mousse was a close second favorite and tasted like brownie batter! The tres leches wasn’t sweet enough, which means everyone here will probably appreciate them more, just not me.

HAHAHA, you really are a pancake lover. I was going to comment earlier that the english toffee looked the best to me. Glad you enjoyed them. I might be going this weekend to ihop for brunch and was contemplating whether to indulge and get the english toffee. I am a sucker for toffee and super sweet things sounds like I will like them.
Also FYI anyone who buys quest bars, they are on sale on amazon for 8.75 a box of 12 if you clip 50% off coupon and do S&S for another 15% off. I don't buy them much anymore, but ended up buying a box since I couldn't pass up at that price.
