Enlightened recently rebranded their marshmallow bars under a new name — cloud10. What do you think? (Before vs. after)
I think it's a genius way to make me fall into the same trap of buying a couple flavors thinking I'll like them because they're by a different company... only to find out they're the same flavorless treats they sold me the first time. >.> To be fair, they're the Arctic Zero frozen dairy dessert of the protein crispy treats, and there's always worse... the Wink version would be The Dough Bar's version. I love their doughnuts, but they should stay far, far away from the crispy treat market!I found the new archer farms protein ice creams and quest pizzas today! Bought one of each flavor of ice cream except the cookie dough (OOS) , and one pepperoni and cheese quest pizza; bummed my target didn’t have the supreme yet
Do NOT sleep on the archer ice cream you guys! I tried the chocolate peanut butter and mini donut tonight. I’m a peanut butter snob, and archer farms crushed halo top AND enlightened for the chocolate peanut butter!! SO GOOD!! Peanut butter swirls all throughout, and no bitterness to the chocolate base. The mini donut base was delicious, and there was quite a good amount of donut mix ins. The texture of both pints was wayyyyy creamier than halo top in my opinion, and less dense than enlightened. These are the closest to real ice cream via the protein ice cream phase I have tried so far- RUN to every target if you have to, but get these; you won’t regret it.
Do the pints have stevia in it? The two others who didn't like the Archer Farms Mini Donut flavor might have picked up on the bitterness of the stevia, if so. In that case, I might not like it either. Some people don't seem to get that bitter flavor from stevia and love it (some Halo Top pints use way too much of it in my opinion but others adore them), so I'm sort of hoping that's not the case here... because I love erythritol and have high hopes still!
You also sold me on the peanut butter pint, because Halo Top's was underwhelming but Enlightened's is still my favorite low calorie ice cream tied with Halo Top's caramel macchiato pint! I NEED to buy this ASAP... maybe tomorrow if I'm able to make it out! Did you have to let them thaw at all?0 -

Here's the ingredient list for the Archer Farms mini donut. No stevia listed, so my best guess was that the funky taste was from the erythritol. I grabbed a few of the other flavors, so I'll have to try them out to see if they have the same sugar alcohol taste. As far as texture goes, I let mine sit out for a while and it was pretty perfect! Texture-wise they're right on par with Enlightened in my book.2 -

If I end up with a coupon for a free one, I'll try them. I sent them feedback about the original formula and got a coupon for a free pint of ice cream, which was cool, lol.
Tried Enlightened Glazed Donut and didn't really enjoy it. The base tasted like overly-sweet vanilla buttercream frosting.
Ended up tossing the Salted Caramel Crunch one - which I NEVER do - again because of the overly-sweet.
It's looking like chocolate base is my best bet.

So I should be getting a $5 reward to GNC once my profile is completed (technical difficulties so it's taking time). Any recommendations? I really liked the Bang Cotton Candy...any other good flavors? Or low calorie protein bar ideas?1

Guys, I tried a sample of the cloud10 and it was AMAZING. completely different formula than the brick-like stuff from before. these are really soft, almost melty in a way. they break apart super easily.3 -
Clif Zbars changed the formula. The calories are now 140-150 per bad (used to be 110 then changed to 120-130 now again). They are really much more chewy and moist now and I don't like it. I liked how they were drier before. and not as "doughy". When you hold them out, they flop over. The consistency is just off now. Too bad because I loved these bars before. They used to have more of a cookie like texture.

I really enjoyed the glazed donut one. I hated the salted caramel too, too sweet for me. The oatmeal cookie is too sweet for me too which is a real bummer.0 -

Oh gosh, please ignore all the typos in this..... LOL. That's what I get for trying to post using speak text on my phone and now it's too late to edit.
Tried the sunflower and peanut. They were nothing special and I wouldn't eat again. Very boring.

I loved for years too! The chocolate brownie and chocolate chip and s'mores were my favorite. I loved the honey graham before they discontinued it too. I wonder if you've had the new ones because I am not a fan of the new change. Just noticed the change in my new boxes I got today. I like how they used to be more like a soft baked cookie, now the texture is different.0 -

I was going to pickup a box because they are one sale but you have me thinking twice. I could sure go for the oatmeal cookie bar with a glass of almond milk right now.2 -

I like most of the Bang flavors. The only ones I hate are cotton candy, pear guava and peach tea. Lately I've been drinking a lot of Lemon Drop, Champagne and Purple Haze.
GNC isn't really known for their protein bar selection. Vitamin Shoppe has a better variety. You could see if they have Quest Chips (sour cream was good). Or sometimes you'll be able to find things like protein popcorn or protein Mac and cheese.3 -

I just had a chocolate brownie and it tasted the same. Hoping it was just the melting and resolidifying in the hot weather that did something. I wrote to them to ask if they changed the formula so I'll let you know.3 -

I've had them.... They're OK. I love salted caramel, and didn't think the salted caramel half was salty enough. I love caramel and would have preferred more caramel
A food swap would be so awesome.... The US has so many things we don't get (although we did just get caramel M&m's!)0 -

Cool, thanks! I considered those chips, actually. I definitely wanna try another Bang drink.1 -

I really liked the Sinfit Peanut Butter cookie that I had bought at GNC a few weeks ago (the Birthday Cake was alright, but reminded me of the Muscletech variety).

Making the Quest pizza for lunch today. Will try to remember & post some pictures later today or tomorrow.
I won't buy this a lot since it's $6.99 & I can get cheaper pizzas from time to time that are made in Italy at the Grocery Outlet.2 -

Yes, I second the quest chips (if you can find the tortilla chips I liked them way more, both nacho cheese and ranch are fantastic neither one is really better than the other) and the Icon Meals protein popcorn! My favorite protein popcorn flavor is the dark chocolate sea salt flavor, the peanut butter flavor was underwhelming in my opinion and tastes like peanut butter Cap’n Crunch cereal.
As for Bang, maybe it depends on your taste buds because my favorite is the cotton candy and I haven’t been AS blown away by the other flavors, although some of them are good. The sour heads is really sour and some days I like it, but other days it tastes too artificial for me. The red can that’s cherry flavor is better, but still a bit artificial tasting, although I like it since it reminds me a little of jolly ranchers! Haven’t tried any more than those since I can’t tolerate that much caffeine!
I’m really counting on you all leaving reviews of that Quest pizza!!!!0 -

Are you talking about mandia pizzas? They're stonebaked and imported from italy and amazing. Sprouts just had them on sale for 4 dollars each!0 -
I LOVE their protein powders so I am looking forward to trying these. Their mocha, tropical, and dark chocolate is hands down the best vegan protein I've ever had. I am a huge fan of the pumpkin protein they use instead of pea.1 -
