Review: That's it. Apple + Apricot Bar

I've finally run out of That's it. samples that I've been repeatedly drilling for reviews.  While not the most glamorous of all bars, they've certainly done the job so far and it is with that positive attitude that I head into this final review of the That's it. Apple + Apricot Bar.  Like the other diminutive bars, this one only clocks in at 1.2 ounces and has a pittance of calorie count in that it only registers at 100 calories.  The protein is also a pittance as it has a lonely single gram of protein.  The bar itself is also all natural, gluten free, kosher, raw and vegan.

Review: That's it. Apple + Cherries Bar

I can't wait for the day that I get to say that's it to reviewing these That's It bars that I've been plowing through.  Actually, I'm just joking.  All of these have come as free samples and I'm always grateful for the opportunity to review products.  I will admit that it does sometimes get a bit tiring reviewing derivatives of the same product over and over again because I just lose that product variety and as we all should know, variety is the spice of life...or something.  Anyway, this That's it. Apple + Cherries Bar clocks in at 1.2 ounces with 100 calories and one gram of protein.  Being that it only has two ingredients, it is obviously all natural.  Also, it's gluten free, kosher, raw and vegan, so hooray for that.

Review: Noosa Cranberry Apple Yoghurt

Noosa yoghurt (yes, that is the correct spelling) is not a product that is new to the blog.  In fact, I've been very pleased with their flavors in the past as their plain yoghurt might be the best tasting plain yoghurt that I've ever seen.  On a recent trip to Kroger, I just happened to look in the dairy cooler (the special one where they keep the "healthy" dairy) and I noticed that a new Noosa product had popped up and that leads me to today's review of this limited batch Noosa Cranberry Apple Yoghurt.  Since it's a limited batch, that's just why it popped up on me...obviously.  Anyway, this set me back a whole $2.00 and that got me an 8.0 ounce container that has 280 calories and twelve grams of protein.

Review: That's it. Apple + Mango Bar

I keep grabbing these bars for reviews and each time I grab one, I think to myself "That's it.  That's got to be the end of these bars."  But, it never is it (at least not yet) and I've still got several of these left to review.  And yes, that was definitely in the top ten for the lamest introductory paragraphs that I've ever written for this blog and there's been over one thousand of them.  So, today I embark on this That's it. Apple + Mango Bar that I received via a free sample, just like the others.  This bar clocks in at 1.2 ounces and packed within that are 100 calories and zero grams of protein (LOL).  This two ingredient bar is also all natural, gluten free, kosher, raw and vegan.

Review: That's it. Apple + Pineapple Bar

I mentioned in my previous That's it. review that I was generously sent a big box of flavors to try out, so here we are again to try out another one of those flavors.  Today's flavor revolves around two ingredients (That's it.) that I have had an old and new relationship with.  First, I've loved apples my entire life, thus the old relationship.  Second, I've only recently come to enjoy pineapples, so that is the new relationship.  So, with that meaningless knowledge now passed along to you, it's time to take a look at this That's it. Apple + Pineapple Bar.  It comes in at 1.2 ounces and has 100 calories with ZERO grams of protein.  It's all natural, gluten free, kosher, raw and vegan.

Review: That's it. Apple + Coconut Bar

That's it. bars have been difficult for me to find.  They aren't in my typical stores and I've only been able to find them in healthy stores and sometimes in out of the way locations (for me).  That said, I was very appreciative when a representative of That's it. contact me recently and asked if I'd like to review a sampling of their bars to add to the limited review collection on this blog.  I happily agreed and this leads me to the first of many reviews as I take a look at this That's it. Apple + Coconut Bar.  The bar itself comes in at 1.2 ounces and has a minuscule 110 calories and one gram of protein.  The whole point of That's it. bars is that they only have the ingredients listed in the name and that is the case here as this bar is made up of one apple and 1/4 coconut.  It's also all natural, fat free, gluten free, kosher, raw and vegan.

Review: Pure Organic Ancient Grains Triple Berry Nut Bar

I've been noticing recently that I haven't been reviewing a lot of bars, which is strange considering that the history of this blog is very bar heavy.  I'm trying to re-focus on bars (or at least mix them into reviews more), so that leads me to today's review of this Pure Organic Ancient Grains Triple Berry Nut Bar that I was able to pick up at Fresh Thyme for I think roughly $1.25 (it was on sale).  It's not the first Pure Organic bar that I've reviewed but since these are typically more expensive and/or harder for me to find, I haven't reviewed a lot of them.  Anyway, this bar is 1.23 ounces and within that is 160 calories and five grams of protein.  It's also gluten free, kosher, soy free and vegan.

Review: Steve's PaleoGoods Dried Strawberries

Since I'm a celebrity now and get interviewed for other blogs, I feel I'm fully entitled to brag about the vast benefits of writing for this blog.  So, let me brag for a minute about how great it is to get free sampler packs from food manufacturers.  People view me as an influencer and since I'm such a great writer...actually, I'm bored with this bragging already...back to the regular format.  Anyway, a representative from Steve's PaleoGoods reached out to me and about three business days later a sampler pack arrived on my doorstep.  Today's review is the first out of that pack as I'm taking a look at this package of Steve's PaleoGoods Dried Strawberries.  Now, this may seem like something boring to review, but I'll get to why I chose to put this on the site in a couple moments (other than to thank Steve's for the free products).  So, this package is 6.0 ounces and within it are six one ounce servings and each serving is 93 calories.

Review: Mamma Chia Blueberry & Dark Chocolate with Chia Bar

Fresh Thyme has brought me a lot of new and interesting products to review for the blog and I've continuously hammered on those in reviews over the preceding months.  Today brings me another one of those reviews as I take a look at this Mamma Chia Blueberry & Dark Chocolate with Chia Bar, which is produced by a manufacturer making its first appearance here on the blog.  Their tagline is to "Seed Your Soul" which is a witty play on the fact that the bar is made with chia seeds in case you didn't pick up on that.  That chia is also part of a "Chia Vitality Bar" so there's that additional kick of life too.  Anyway, I picked this up for $1.99 at the aforementioned Fresh Thyme and it comes in at 1.4 ounces with 180 calories and three grams of protein.  It's also gluten free, kosher and organic.

Review: Kellogg's Special K Blueberry Bliss Bars

We all know Kellogg's is a machine and I've covered that ad nauseam on this blog in countless Kellogg's reviews.  Well, the machine has pumped out another one for it's Special K line as I picked up a box of six of these Kellogg's Special K Blueberry Bliss Bars on sale recently at Kroger for a bargain basement price of $1.99.  Basically, these bars only serve a purpose as a snack bar because despite the fact that they are bundled under the Special K line, they really are just manufactured junk under the guise of being healthy.  That said, each bar in the box is a tiny 0.88 ounces and packs a small 100 calories and two grams of protein.

Review: That's it. Apple + Blueberries Bar

I'm all for minimalism because it makes things less complicated and I very much appreciate lack of complications.  That's what makes today's review so interesting to me.  It's the second time I've looked at a That's It. product here on the blog and if you are new to their products, they pretty much only used one or two ingredients.  In the case of this That's it. Apple + Blueberries Bar, it's only apples and blueberries.  That's it.  Get it?  Ha, ha.  Anyway, I picked this one up at Fresh Thyme for $1.69 and it's 1.2 ounces with 100 calories and one gram of protein (fruits aren't necessarily known for their heavy protein content).  It's also all natural, gluten free, kosher, raw, vegan and zero fat, so how about that?

Review: Appleways Apple Simply Wholesome Oatmeal Bar

Appleways (by Darlington Foods) are an interesting bar to me.  I've looked at them a couple of times previously and while their recipe is not overly complicated or particularly fancy (translation: very basic), I've been pleasantly surprised by how much I've enjoyed their bars.  I'd like to say that it is the positive experiences that have me looking at today's Appleways Apple Simply Wholesome Oatmeal Bar, but the truth is that the only thing that has me looking at this bar today is that I buy everything in splurges and I picked up every single flavor that Marsh had available at the time I purchased these bars for $1.29 each.  That said, I don't regret picking this up because I always need review topics and this particular review topic is 1.2 ounces with 140 calories and two grams of protein (like that smooth segue there?).  It's whole grain, all natural and kosher as well.

Review: Appleways Strawberry Simply Wholesome Oatmeal Bar

I mentioned in my last Appleways review that I'm not sure any other store in the world other than Marsh carries these bars because I've never seen them.  If that is the case, that kind of limits the amount of people that would be affected by this review, but since I need content for the blog, I might as well keep reviewing these bars.  So, I picked up this Appleways Strawberry Simply Wholesome Oatmeal Bar at my local Marsh for $1.29.  It's 1.2 ounces and has 140 calories with two grams of protein.  It's simply wholesome (if you say so) and all natural as well, so there is that.

Review: Yoplait Light Apple Fritter Yogurt

Buying a bunch of Yoplait products over a couple of grocery store trips for multiple reviews seemed like a good idea at the time.  Of course, any time you go to a grocery store while hungry, anything involving MORE food sounds like a good idea.  Now, I have to admit that I've gotten bored with these, but I don't want to waste things and that leads me to review this single serving container of Yoplait Light Apple Fritter Yogurt that I picked up on sale at Meijer for $0.50.  Each container is 90 calories and has five grams of protein.  It's also only a two point hit on the Weight Watchers PointsPlus scale, much like the rest of these that I've looked at in reviews.

Review: Good Greens Apple Crumb Soy Greek Yogurt Bar

It's been quite a while since I looked at a Good Greens product (over two years), but I had noticed recently that my local Marsh Supermarket had started carrying their bars.  I hadn't made any purchases because I thought I had tried all the flavors, but upon further review recently, I noticed that there were a couple that I hadn't tested out yet and that leads to today's review of this Good Greens Apple Crumb Soy Greek Yogurt Bar.  I was able to grab this one for $2.49 and it comes in at 1.76 ounces with 190 calories and ten grams of protein.  It's also dubbed as a "Wellness Bar" on the wrapper and I think that's a first for me.  As always with these Good Greens bars, it's powered by their Z52 Superfood Powder and I'll spare telling the long story of that that is again.  You can check out the website or my prior reviews if interested.  Anyway, the bar is also all natural, gluten free and vegan, so that's fun (or healthy) I suppose.

Review: Wholesome Goodness Apple Cinnamon Omega Granola Bar

My mother tells me that I'm supposed to have some wholesomeness and goodness in my life.  If that's true, what better way to get that in my life (and my belly) is there than to eat a bar with both of those things in the name?  I really can't see a better way, can you?  Yes, that is a really horrible introduction, but hey, sometimes it's tough to write something witty (or even remotely passable) every single time.  Anyway, this isn't the first time I've tried to get both of those things in me since I've reviewed Wholesome Goodness previously, but today's review is another variety out of their product offering with this look at the Wholesome Goodness Apple Cinnamon Omega Granola Bar that I was able to pick up for $1.49 at my local Marsh.  Each bar is 1.4 ounces and has 160 calories and three grams of protein.

Review: Wholesome Goodness Cranberry Omega Granola Bar

It's another new manufacturer!  I always love it when I stumble upon something new in my usual stores because I sometimes worry that I'm going to run out of things that I can or want to review for this blog.  In the back of my head, I know that would never be a problem, but I worry because that's just the type of person that I am.  Anyway, today's new product is a Wholesome Goodness Cranberry Omega Granola Bar that I picked up at Marsh for $1.29.  It's 1.4 ounces and has 160 calories and three grams of protein.  As the name would imply, it's good for Omega fats too, so hooray I guess.

Review: CLIF Kit's Organic Coconut + Sesame Seeds Fruit + Seed Bar

I mentioned in my last CLIF review that I binged on some bars at Earth Fare that I don't ordinarily see in my typical run-of-the-mill grocery stores and today's review is part of that same binge.  I don't know why CLIF doesn't include these in the normal stores with the rest of their products, but for some reason they are exclusive to the exclusive grocery stores.  I just don't get it.  Anyway, I picked up this CLIF Kit's Organic Coconut + Sesame Seeds Fruit + Seed Bar at the aforementioned Earth Fare for $1.49 and the bar is 1.7 ounces with 200 calories and a very minimal two grams of protein.  It's also gluten free, soy free, dairy free and made with a minimal eight ingredients.  Here's to hoping that it's not flavor free.

Review: CLIF Kit's Organic Cherry + Pumpkin Seeds Fruit + Seed Bar

I've been trying to branch out a bit more recently and one of the ways I've been doing that is trying to hit up stores that I don't ordinarily visit.  Earth Fare is one of those stores and on a lot of those visits, I find new products that I have never seen in my normal stores.  That said, CLIF products are certainly not new to me as I've done a ton of reviews on them, but Earth Fare did allow me to find a bar from one of the lines that I don't typically see in my normal stores.  Anyway, I picked up this CLIF Kit's Organic Cherry + Pumpkins Seeds Fruits + Seed Bar for $1.49 and the bar itself is 1.7 ounces with 170 calories and four grams of protein.

Review: Dannon Oikos Traditional Apple Pie Greek Yogurt

So I think we can all agree that if there is a dessert that is closely tied with America, it is Apple Pie.  With that, looking at today's review source is moderately amusing to me.  It's a classic American dessert matched with a Greek yogurt manufactured by a French company.  Huh?  Well, I suppose it can be said that this is the United Nations of products.  Anyway, today is another Dannon review as I take a look at this multi-cultural single serving cup of Dannon Oikos Traditional Apple Pie Greek Yogurt that I picked up at Kroger for $1.00.  It's 5.3 ounces and within that is 170 calories and eleven grams of protein.  What is also interesting about this is that the labeling specifically says "With Room For Toppings", so Dannon is definitely encouraging people to doctor this one.  I'm not sure whether that is a good or bad sign.
