I guess that's what was kind of appealing to me. I don't eat them often, but I actually do like Quest's protein cookies; part of what I like is the simplicity of the flavors. My two favorite flavors are the Chocolate Chip and Peanut Butter so I guess this is reminding me of those a bit. I have had some Lenny & Larry…

Ooooh, I'm very curious about these; I wonder how many calories they will be. I hope they at least put a serving as one cookie instead of half of one like their other cookies.

I see a lot of people on the forums that get bothered by the closing out of the diary for some reason. Almost every time, they also seem to gloss over the "If every day were like today" part; they just focus on the "in five weeks, you would weigh x". It's just a silly feature and not a guarantee even if you ate the same…

I saw Liebe at Stop and Shop last month and picked up the Plain Passion and Vanilla Devotion flavors; I thought both were excellent. I also like Fage and YQ so I think you're spot on in your comparisons. I'm also a fan of the Icelandic Provisions Skyr, so I'll be looking out for this. I was about to say that the calorie…

Oddly enough, this makes me more skeptical of them. Earlier today, I searched Built Burner because I had wanted to see something as I was eating my bar. I found this page: https://calc.builtbar.com/; it has a calorie calculator and links to a meal plan and workout ideas. I thought it was so weird, as I had never seen it…

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…
-
So an update on my Built Bar fiasco; I indeed got the right box, a Built BURNER mixed box, this morning! The texture and taste are exactly the same as regular Built bars. 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…
-
Yeah, the Skinny Jimmy bars are smaller sizes of their regular bars but I haven't had them. I have only had Jimmy Bars back when they looked like this around three years ago. I remember thinking they weren't that great and then I never saw them again. It seems like they've completely revamped their brand since that time.…

I went to World Market this weekend and picked up these: They were $.99 each so I couldn't help myself. The bars are 90 to 100 calories each. They had four different bars. The first I bought is called Wake & Focus (my package says Woke and Focused...interesting) and it's Cookies & Cream flavored and has guarana, MCT Oil,…
-
Yeah that's too expensive. They're good but there is nothing about them that's so "wow" that it's a must buy. What I like about them most is that the calories/macros are impressive. I like that I can feel like I'm having a big chocolate snack for just ~110 calories and getting 15g of protein in at the same time. All of the…
-
They brought this back out?! I'm not a big fan of their protein bars but I remember I had this a few years ago and it was pretty good. A few months later it disappeared from stores and their website. It's still not on their website, but I hope you posting it means it's back for good. It used to be called D's Naturals…
-
The weirdest part is I just started looking at the mix they sent me and it has no rhyme or reason to it. I'm trying to find a version of the box they've sent me on their site and can't. I received 2 banana, 1 raspberry, 2 orange, 1 mint, 2 vanilla, 2 salted caramel, 2 mint brownie, 2 double chocolate, 2 mocha chocolate,…
-
No, the burner bars are brand new which is why I ordered the mixed box of them. :( I was looking forward to trying them and was so annoyed when I opened the box. On the bright side, I just finished my chat with customer service and they're sending out another box and letting me keep the regular mixed box they sent on…
-
So I just got my Built Bar shipment. I ordered a mixed box of the new Built Burner bars and got two free mango bars. Well, they screwed up again! I was sent a mixed box of their regular bars instead. I'm going to email them of course but I'd like to see them argue this one like they did with their last mistake. Ignore the…
-
Interesting but how does that account for the ones I've had where the outside chocolate layer is clearly thicker than other bars? A thicker chocolate layer surely means more calories. Others have really been expanded inside where all that gelatinous flavored protein sludge is, so I guess I can understand why that would be…
-
I never tasted this brand so I don't know just how bad it is but it's amazing that they went out of business yet Wink Frozen Desserts just keeps on truckin'. Unless they changed their formula(s), that was by far the worst ice cream alternative I've ever tasted and so not worth the price point. Sorry to anyone that actually…
-
Seriously? I honestly would not get confused based on the packaging alone as there are clear differences to me. Van Leeuwen doesn't own the market on pastels and script fonts. Maybe I'm siding against them because I live in NYC and have been to their ice cream truck. It's overpriced and doesn't taste great.
-
I saw that you contacted them about it and didn't get a favorable response. For what it's worth, I'm seeing similar complaints on their Instagram today. If you do end up liking the bars, hopefully their selection will change by the time you place another order.
-
To be fair, that was one order out of five; the other four went smoothly. I probably could have argued it further but I didn't feel like it was worth it. That being said, when presented with my evidence they shouldn't have doubled down on the denial either. Unless I was truly in the wrong, which I wasn't, I shouldn't have…
-
I'm not the biggest fan of them either despite posting about the new bars and placing an order today. I wrote a rant like 20 pages ago how their customer service reps tried to convince me I ordered the box of Mint Brownie they sent me rather than their original Mint flavor despite presenting them with multiple pieces of…
-
Oh man, I bought a box of each flavor back in late June and I finally understood what it meant to not be able to stop eating a food. These were so addictive to me and I enjoyed both flavors. I won't let myself buy them anymore because I was eating several per day.
-
That's so weird! I've definitely made a box with strawberry in the past: I wonder why they've changed it. I wonder if they're phasing those flavors out so they will only sell full boxes of them or if it's just a mistake on their part after putting in other flavors as selections.

For Built Bar lovers, there's a lot of new stuff today. New Mango Built Bar and promo: Also, a completely new bar called Built Burner: The bar is 120 calories with 3g fat, 15g carbs, 6g fiber, 3g sugar, and 18g protein. They claim it reduces appetite, burns fat, and has a weight loss formula. It has green tea extract,…

I haven't commented on the boards in like a week but I came out of the woodwork just to comment that I also would like to read the brand gossip.
-
I had no idea they made donuts either. I got the muffins a while back in the Double Chocolate and Sweet Potato flavors. They were decent but I never had the urge to buy them again. I never found the two flavors I actually wanted, Matcha and Banana Chocolate.
-
It does when you drink sweetened almond milk. The two posters above me are referring to unsweetened almond milk which has 1 to 2g of carbs per serving.

So I went to Stop and Shop and got the Nudge in the Italian Espresso flavor. I was shocked by how tiny the tub was in person; I expected a jar that was much larger for some reason. I was even more shocked that they base the nutritional facts on what they deem are five servings in the container. It's a small jar, yeah, but…

Ooooh! I remember reading about these a few months ago. I really want to try the Italian Espresso one. Those price tags look like they are from Stop and Shop/Giant; are they? If so, I'm heading there today.
-
I don't think the OP is saying they burn an additional 3900 in exercise calories. I read it as their fitness tracker says that their TDEE is 3900 calories per day on average which, depending on their stats, isn't that farfetched. I'm 5'3" and 118 pounds and my TDEE is 2300 on average. OP, if you did mean it that way, then…
