    So I went to Starbucks today and decided to try the new-ish almond protein blended cold brew coffee.... I’m NEVER getting it again! Horrible!
    My dad tried some sips and said it wasn’t disgusting, but agrees he didn’t enjoy it by any means. Very mediocre! But then again, I hate pea protein and I couldn’t get past it in this. Once in a great while something will use pea protein and be able to pull it off, but this isn’t one of those times. If you’re vegan you’ll probably like it, but they could’ve done better in my opinion.

    I checked out the nutrition facts on this, and it is only 12g of protein (270 cal) for the almond and 10g (250 cal) for the Cacao! I can get 12g of protein in my grande skim vanilla latte for less calories (and much better taste). Not worth it to me. Very disappointing considering they advertise it as a protein drink.

    The food industry has a weird notion of what 'protein' foods and drink mean.

    We do! We have a little "farm stand" up by the road in front of the house.

    Has anyone here tried either of these versions of Starbucks nitro cold brew? I’m hooked on the nitro, but I’ve only had the regular and salted caramel cream version so far (the latter being my favorite without a doubt)! I want to try one of the newer ones but I want to make sure it’s worth it!

    I mean I guess its somewhat impressive if its dairy free, but still there are other dairy free options with much more protein!

    The dark cocoa nitro is pretty awful to be honest, way too bitter for my liking. I like the nitro because it’s less acidic, but the dark cocoa sort of adds that acidity back into the beverage. Definitely sticking to the salted cream nitro cold brew!!

    I'm really bummed Starbucks doesn't carry sugar free pumpkin sauce :( Actually, they don't carry a lot of sugar free in general). I get bored with the same old -- I like to experiment with new things. Kinda wish they'd expand and at least carry sugar free pumpkin, especially knowing how popular it is this time of year!

    That would be amazing, and sugar free gingerbread!!! Much needed!

    I’m eating the nut butter chocolate chip Shanti bar now and I really like it, it reminds me of Larabar. But it’s 80 calories for 18 grams, so per gram it’s 4.44 calories which is about 267 calories per 60 grams, which is about how much a a quest bar weighs. So for that reason I’m sticking with quest, which fills me more anyways. But it was good! I’ll report back if I have any weird hives!

    Their SF syrups are so boring and not very good especially now that I buy the awesome skinny syrups lol. My coffees are sooooo much better than any I’ve ever bought,

    I have found those Jordan skinny syrups and TJ maxx and at Burlington coat factory- probably at some other stores too- I think someone said big Lots have them too.

    Saw this in Walmart tonight! I picked one up since there was a coupon for a dollar off in the target cartwheel app so I paid $4 instead of $5 :) hope to try it tomorrow!

    Also saw this, but I have no clue if it’s new or not

    And I had another Shanti bar (caramel coconut). I didn’t like it as much as the chocolate version, but still not something I’ll get again since it wasn’t really filling. No hives, though!

    Ah, I just saw that creamer on Junk Banter's Instagram and am now on the hunt! I love Califia anything. Anyway, I just tried another Dannon Light and Fit in Toasted Marshmallow and omg!! So good! I also tried pineapple yesterday and was quite thrilled with that flavor too. They have a fan for life!

    Yes those yogurts are delicious!!!! I didn’t even know the pineapple was new, I saw it the other day in Shoprite (usually I get them at Walmart so I assumed Walmart just never had that flavor) and it was great! Their toasted marshmallow and caramel macchiato flavors are still my favorite though, although it’s been a while since I’ve seen the macchiato one... do you know if they still make it??

    Junkbanter’s Instagram rated the Califia Farms Better Half creamer as really good, but unfortunately I can hardly tolerate it, it’s so disappointing. Feels like regular unsweetened vanilla almond milk with pumpkin spices added to it. Not at all creamy. Definitely not a half and half; I’ve added regular almond milk to my coffee before and this gives it that same taste/consistency. If you’re dairy free then maybe you’re used to this, but definitely not a lower calorie replacement for those who have better options out there. 3/10

    With the first iteration Quest was going after Combat Crunch and FitCrunch bars... now more along the line of ONE bars (like the bday cake flavor).

    Nice, @hgycta! That's not bad at all. I'm always looking for low calorie coffee ideas. I just made a new concoction at Starbucks: grande Starbucks Cold Brew with one pump of pumpkin, two stevia, and a splash of half & half. I would've subbed almond milk, but I work in the Hamptons and this crap is expensive, more pricey than any in my area! No thanks! It's not bad. The cold brew is super smooth. Wish I could taste the pumpkin more, but that would've required more calories XD I love those Jordan's Skinny Syrups! I use the vanilla flavor in my cottage cheese all the time. If you have a Marshall's or Home Goods near you, they usually carry at least the basic flavors. I hit the motherload over the summer when I found a Home Goods that had nearly every flavor. I'll have to return for that pumpkin!

    You must, they are incredible! My favorite is salted caramel, salted caramel mocha, and caramel pumpkin. The chocolate are amazing compared to other SF chocolate syrups which I find have a weird aftertaste. I have been drinking too much coffee since I found these and am going through a bottle a week almost LOL. I bring my own syrup whenever I get coffee out because they are so much better than starbucks.

    @pancakerunner Ohhh, that sounds way more delicious and maybe they will make more flavors that way in the future? The coating looks good, I will definitely be trying. I wasn't a fan of the crunchy ones.
