    The Giant by me finally got another of the new Talenti layers flavors - Black raspberry vanilla parfait. It has a black raspberry gelato, oat crisps, blueberry puree, vanilla gelato, and another layer of oat crisps.

    This flavor is really good. It might be my favorite of the Talenti layers flavors so far. The black raspberry gelato is made with black raspberry puree, so it tastes slightly different from the black raspberry base in Talenti's black raspberry chocolate chip flavor (which is not made with a puree). Very bright, fruity berry flavor here. The blueberry puree layer adds to this too. I like the vanilla gelato layer in this flavor, which complements the rest of the pint very well. The oat crisps are delicious and similar to granola in texture, though I wish that one of the layers were different instead of two of the same oat crisp layers.

    When I was using that 5 cent promotion for those Forto shots, I caved and splurged on their pumpkin spice shots too since they were on sale for $8...
    it’s amazing.
    It tastes just like a Starbucks pumpkin spice latte in a smaller serving. And it had just enough to help me beat that midday slump without getting too caffeinated to the point where my sleep suffers!

    I saw these at Stop and Shop last night. I didn't buy them because I couldn't trust myself not to eat the whole bag. I really wanted to try one. Really, just one...

    This has probably been asked before but I've only came across it. Has anyone tried the Smart cakes? What do they taste like? Are they worth it?
    cs618bly3vc6.png

    Yep. I've had them, and yep, I love them. My favorites are coconut and tangerine, followed by cinnamon. The chocolate was "meh." They work with my macros. I really have trouble believing they're only 38 calories and no carbs by taste, but hey...I'll log it that way!

    I have been eyeing these every time I go to the store, lol. Have you tried both flavors? Which is better? Are they worth the price?

    I also loved these. My favorite were the cinnamon coffee cake and coconut. I liked them right of the fridge the best. Usually I warm up cakes but I enjoyed these cold because they are denser. They are really light, but a nice low cal snack. The buns were awesome! Really nice large size for the calories. I would buy all the time if they didn’t cost so much lol.definitely recommend trying.

    @lisaepell Wait. Seriously? Someone's FINALLY taking me up on my offer of mailing them free food? My unopened bag of Quest BBQ Protein Chips laughs in all y'alls faces! :)

    @Noreenmarie1234 I bought the chocolately one because...duh...and I bought the vanilla creme. I'm making my way through the chocolately, which is good altho nothing spectacular, because...duh...chocolate and haven't opened the other yet but I like the vanilla creme power crunch bars so they have to taste the same, right? :)

    Trying the diet frosted key lime now from Chick-fil-A. 100 calories less in the large than the regular (350 instead of 450), and just as good! Two thumbs up!

    Going to try these tonight! 20drnbydidl2.jpeg
    They are a lot smaller than the regular quest bars. Hoping they are better than the other reviews I’ve read.

    I'm probably REALLY slow on this one but I was just introduced to making Smores with candy other than plain milk chocolate. I'm pretty sure a smore made with a Reeses cup is my new favorite thing! They are also really good made with milk ways.

    Not a new product but I still wanted to share!

    This is about to change my life.

    You guys have sold me on the Smartcakes i will order some since they seem to be on sale right now.

    Now..What do you guys know about frosting? Or maybe whip cream that taste like frosting? I looooooove frosting. I could be one of those people that open frosting and just eat it with a spoon. Have a company ever made a really low Cal good for you alternative yet?

    I’m still on the search for one, so I’m following to see what other people say! I’ve tried nearly everything... the recipes on Lil Buff’s website for “frosting” using sugar free pudding was (in my opinion) terrible.

    Honestly, if I’m craving frosting I usually order cupcakes from Simply Scrumptous. Their desserts are divine and very low in calories for how delicious they are. I cant order anything less than $150 from them in one go, and when I do, it disappears way too fast. Seriously, if you’re looking for a product that has it all in one package try their cupcakes and you won’t be disappointed!

    Also, if you do try them and like peanut butter, their peanut butter brownies taste like straight up peanut butter fudge so that’s what got me hooked (the Coffee Fit bars are good and also fudge-like but a bit high in calories for how much I crave). Their stuff is all usually under 100 calories and will definitely satisfy you!

    I’m surprised no one posted this yet o:

    @Sayanogo every year I intend to buy Peeps to use as the marshmallows for S'Mores & every year I forget :D

    One of the Walmarts I shop at got Bang drinks in, but no decaf.

    I also finally tried Smart Sweets. I'm not usually a gummy candy person so I don't look to be buying this brand all the time, but you guys were right when you said the Gummy Fish were amazing! I was shocked at how much fiber was in a package too.

    I didn't really care for the sour version since I find that Sour Patch Kids offer more of a punch for when I want a sour candy fix.

    I also can't justify buying it often due to the price.

    The company said one of the changes they’re going to be making to the recipe is decreasing the fiber content so it’s not 100% of your daily value, which never bothered me personally but I guess a lot of people were complaining about it haha. I’ve sat down and eaten all four flavors at once one time when I wanted to try them all and nothing bad happened to my insides, so I guess my body built up some sort of tolerance after eating so much fiber/sugar alcohol in Enlightened and Halo Top for YEARS lol!

    I got Smart Sweets recently too (super fast shipping!). I got a variety and like them all. The sour bears at first I wasn't sure about, but someone here was right in that I can only have a few at a time so one package has lasted all day and gives me a sweet fix throughout the day which I LOVE. Great buy and I'll splurge on these a few times a year (if not more). Love this thread!!!

    @Noreenmarie1234 I also received the free Quest Dough Nut bars!!! The float is adorable and my daughter is going to love using it this summer!

    I tried a bite of one right away. They are coated with some chocolate on the outside with the regular Quest bar on the inside. It tasted to me like a chocolate version of their birthday cake bar. 4a0veylo0k11.png
    Haha you beat me to it. I tried them last night. Smaller than the regular quest bars. Loved the thick chocolate coating on the outside. The inside was exactly the same base as the birthday cake which is one of my top favorite flavors.

    Overall it was really good, I don’t know if it takes much like a chocolate donut because I honestly don’t think I’ve ever had a chocolate donut. I always go for the cinnamon rolls or more interesting flavors, lol. I agree that it tasted more like a nice chocolate cupcake.haikovz48i0u.jpeg

    Definitely not one of my top flavors though. It was lacking in sweetness and a little tooo bitter for my liking.

    I got the chocolate etoile and the mint whoopie pie. The whoopie pie is huge! The etoile was pretty good. I microwaved it and the chocolate was everywhere :)

    I got a sampler box this week. The swedish fish are hands down my favorite as they are a bit sweeter and a whole lot softer than the bears. All are good though and agree, i bag is a great all day picking snack.
