I looked at their nutrition information online and - yikes!
Definitely NOT low calorie...
The red velvet keto has 720 calories per a pint compared to 280 in the regular. Looks to be similar for the other flavors as well. My only interest in Enlightened, Halo Top, et al., is that they have low calories. Obviously these are not for me!

Yikes! I mean, there is definitely a market for keto ice cream... but a lot of people on keto were already having Enlightened... IDK, I feel like it was kind of a confusing use of resources.2 -

Even on keto (hypothetically) a person can't eat all the calories--it would take keto folks in very special situations to spend 720 calories on a single item, just sayin'...4 -

I was surprised by the calories too, Peanut Butter Fudge is 190 a serving and I never eat just 1 serving so I'll pass.3 -

I can only hope that stores stock these *in addition* to the low calorie flavors, and don't *replace* other Enlightened flavors with them.6 -

I know, I don't think it's the intention to eat the entire pint.0 -

I HAVE to try these. Yum.
I knew that the Enlightened Keto was going to be high calorie since they put 1G net carbs per serving as the focal point instead of the calories like their usual pints but 720 is just YIKES. I'm not sure what they were thinking and I feel like the people who eat it will most likely fall into one of three groups.
Group 1 will just have one serving at a time.
Group 2 have high TDEEs and can actually eat it in one sitting.
Group 3 erroneously assumes calories "don't matter" on keto, will eat copious amounts of this, not lose weight, and wonder why.
I feel like the Enlightened keto line will flop but people are surprising.5 -

Haha I feel like Group 3 is the majority of people on keto
(no shade) ... also 720 calories per pint is less than some competitors like Mammoth Creamery, which as 1,000. Or Killer Whey has bout ~700... 2 -

They were something I consumed regularly when I had more calories to play with, but I haven't been able to have them and eat the more low calorie Built Bar instead. I was craving a more substantial protein bar today, though (nothing wrong with Built. I love them but they don't fill me up and are more of a candy bar replacement for me), so I exercised a little extra today so I could treat myself to one. I saw Chocolate Hazelnut and decided to splurge on a box. They're not what I expected but they're not bad. I wanted more of a Nutella taste, but they're more chocolatey and nutty. Next time I'll do the Chocolate Donut. Any thoughts on those? I think my two favorite flavors from Quest are Maple Waffle and Apple Pie.
I thought the outside of the Chocolate Donut bar tasted like the coating on the Hostess Chocolate Donettes.3 -

I like the chocolate donut flavor but feel their birthday cake is superior if you are going for one with a coating. My absolute favorite is still the blueberry muffin flavor. If you don't mind a little less protein their Hero bars are the tastiest IMO.skelterhelter wrote: »It's funny you guys brought up the Quest bars because I just had one today after almost a year without them.

Quest's Blueberry Muffin is pretty good. In my top 10 for sure. If you want more of a "nutella flavor" the Rocky Road is probably closer than chocolate hazelnut. I liked Apple Pie too, but they discontinued it... sadly. i also miss their Lemon Pie and Banana Nut!
I always thought their Lemon bar tasted like the Pledge furniture polish (not that I ever tried that haha).1 -

Boo I liked Mochi Green Tea, but figured it was getting the axe since Walmart stopped carrying it.1 -
I WON THE HOT DOG ICE CREAM SANDWICH SO EXCITED TO TRY 😂6

I tried the Piña Colada Built Burner bar and it tasted pretty good. I could smell it immediately upon opening the package and it was nice. I can't speak for the added ingredients yet. It claims it will reduce appetite but I'm ravenous from my run and deficit yesterday. As for burning more calories and increasing fat loss, meh. I didn't buy them for the claims because it's all about buzzwords; I bought them because they had different flavors from the regular bars.
I tried the Mango built bar a few days ago and that wasn't bad either. I have to give them credit in that the texture of the newer flavors seem to be a bit softer on the inside and not as chewy. I'm hoping that's not just due to the weather. Unlike many others who eat them, I don't think putting them in the fridge makes them better and the freezer just makes them inedible to me because they're so firm.
Would I get the mango flavor if it became permanent? No. As for the Burner bars, I'll decide once I try the other five flavors.
I'm glad you got at least a little something from them but I'm gonna need more bars and where are the burner bars hiding on the website? I don't see them.

Everyone I know on “Keto” thinks you can eat as much as you want of anything and lose weight. They eat tons of those fat bombs and huge chocolate pb oil cups and all these Keto desserts and then wonder why they aren’t losing weight lol.6 -
...omg...is there any wonder why we're all so fat 🤣 lol!!!1

Anyone ever hear of these? I got asked to sample them. I chose the birthday cake but wondering if anyone had them and if another flavor is better.
