New products that caught your eyes recently?

The only flavor that looks appealing is the Fried Pickles With Ranch. Maybe Deep Dish Pizza.

Has anyone tried these new flavors?

NO!!

I would try Cajun spice, pimento cheese & sweet chili

Ok... I LOVE my dressings and I will usually just thin out something to keep it in check. I know it's not all that hard but making a vinaigrette myself at home is just something I don't do. Don't ask me why lol. I have tried the Walden but I would get annoyed with the aftertaste after a couple of uses. Same with Bolthouse (although I don't mind the avocado cilantro or the salsa ones as a veggie dip at times). The skinny girl dressings... I tried 2 and just YUCK! I am an avid viewer of Shark Tank and when I saw this guys with his hummus and hummus based dressings I was excited! But being based out of Florida I knew it would probably never make it to NY unless Wegman's or such got ahold of it, I wasn't quick enough before you couldn't get it online. Today I was a t Walmart on my lunch since I had a salad but no dressing! Low and behold there it was! (No hummus yet though, just a few dressings).

The ones I saw on the site I was really excited about were not there so I went with the roasted red pepper (being a traditional hummus flavor). Here's my thoughts... Have to remember this is chickpea based, so if you don't like them you will NOT like this! The roasted pepper was good and the lowest in calories but I wished it had a little kick, but that's an easy fix. I like it wasn't blended smooth and had some texture. More flavorful vegetables overpower the flavor but it was PERFECT for what I was eating which was spring greens, grilled chicken, sunflower seeds, a little tomato and sprouts. I really want to try the greek and honey mustard if they become available. I will get the buffalo soon.

There site looks like a work in progress (store locator says nowhere) but there is a 1.00 off in store purchase if you can find it (https://www.odanghummus.com/collections/all-products) so I printed a couple and will shoot to try other flavors. The site has a price of 4.99 which is pricey but as you can see in store it was 3.48. Ending in an 8 shows it is on trial with the store but hey it made it all the way to NY! Hope it says and other products are picked up!

The way I understood it is that each flavor will only be available in the region it was inspired by:

"The eight “Tastes of America” flavors are:

Pacific Northwest: Thai Sweet Chili
Northeast: New England Lobster Roll
Heartland and Mid-America: Deep Dish Pizza
Mid-Atlantic: Chesapeake Bay Crab Spice
Midwest: Fried Pickles with Ranch
Southeast: Pimento Cheese
Gulf Coast: Cajun Spice
Southwest: Chili Con Queso"

As a true southern girl, I'm pretty excited about the Pimento Cheese but sad to not get to try some of the other flavors.

Whats funny is this north east girl has never had a lobster roll lol i hate seafood

Got these at Walmart today as well. I have made crisps at home but these were just there... saying "put me in your desk for tomorrow!"
Well I did but of course I had to try them today! Pretty good! Super salty as to be expected but good flavor and only 6 satisfied my "chip craving" at 4:00 when that is the LAST thing I need.

$8 and fee shipping you havent tried them. I'm so happy cause these are some of my favorite protein cookies

I saw these in a store and wondered about them. Thanks for that review. I will grab some next time.

I ordered a box of Lenny and larry cookies from Amazon with my $10 discount from Whole Foods primemday. 12 each of birthday cake and snickerdoodle 2 oz cookies ended up being only $14 delivered.. sweet!

Has anyone tried the two ingredient dough pizza yet? This one is 575 calories, 40 grams of protein, cost me about $2 to make.

Will have to look for the new Yoplait yogurts.

Your pizza looks better than the Quest varieties.

That's an awesome concept, and so low in calories too! Btw, I have samples of those Truwomen bars coming, thanks to you guys

@crazyravr I think the trick is to mix it in the mixer with the dough hook for approximately 3 minutes. It's makes it more elastic and pliable. I could roll it out before with a lot of effort but now it's easy! I bake them on a 12" pan so they're about 10" or so when they're done. Maybe 9" lol.

omgg whats pizza #2

@vnb_208 the second one is buffalo chicken, mozzarella and fresh blue cheese. So yummy. I make a lot of different ones. Always go back to buffalo chicken or pepperoni and onion or olive though

Bought these because they were only 1.29 for an entire box of 15 on amazon prime day. Good but not great and way too small. One 100 calorie bar was like 1in x 1 in.


Tried the quest waffle bars. These were really sticky. I did like the gobs of "syrup" throughout the bar. And you can definitely taste those blueberry muffin crunchy pieces throughout. I thought it was extremely sweet, almost too sweet, and nothing is usually too sweet for me. If you liked the cereal bars you will like these because they have the same taste. I wouldn't buy again because I wasn't crazy about them.


The quest bars definitely are narrower now. (I had a chocolate chip cookie one and it was way thinner than the maple)

Also made my own mock quest bars with vitafiber. I started off boring so I could make sure I perfect the base first. The first batch was using a chocolate base with cranberries, almonds, cashews. This time I made in a pie pan and just cut. One slice was 180 calories and bigger than a quest bar.  The texture was on point with the recipe I used. Almost exactly the same as quest bar. I can't wait to try the other flavors I have planned. I remember why I stopped years back though, it is a pain and a mess to make lol.


I used this

How do you make them, what else do you add? Is there a recipe you follow for the base and then a separate recipe for the flavors??

The recipe I follow per bar is 2tbsp vitafiber syrup, 2tsp almond or peanut flour, 30g protein powder of choice. I am trying different powders to see which gives me the best tasting product. I've tried Vega before (for a vegan version) but it didn't taste too good. I am trying it using the quest powder now.

I scaled it up to make a batch of 8 though. I used 8 servings of protein powder, 1c vitafiber syrup, 400 calories of add ins, and 8 tsp peanut flour. I just heated up the syrup in the microwave until it bubbled (about a minute and a half) and then poured on top of the powder and kneeded into a pie pan then added the mixins.

Just making one at a time though I heat up the fiber for 20 seconds then add the protein powder and knead. Other people seem to pour into a plastic bag, but I found it gets way too sticky so I prefer to just mix and press into cup or mold with my hands. The harder you compact it the more it turns out like an actual quest bar in texture. I need to experiment with the proper amount of add ins to use to get them to have the right texture as well as macro count. Next up is chocolate covered pretzel.

Quest Bars are still 60g, they're thinner because they are more dense, which does make for a little chewier texture.
