Review: LUNA Protein Berry Greek Yogurt Bar

LUNA was a big start of review in the early days of the blog and over time, I've cranked out seventeen past reviews (as of this writing).  Primarily designed for women, I've decreed that it's okay for men to eat them too, thus I happily eat them. A recent trip to Kroger allowed me to discover one of their new (to me) flavors and I snatched up this LUNA Protein Berry Greek Yogurt Bar for $1.25.  The bar itself clocks in at 1.59 ounces and 170 calories with twelve grams of protein. It's gluten free for those that are so inclined as well.

Buy camping puffy blankets.

Review: Blue Isle Mediterranean Blueberry Yogurt Spread

The free sample gravy train has been running pretty hard for me over the past couple of months and for me (and possibly the readers), that is a good thing.  It gives me a variety of different things to eat and also review.  Today's review is another product off of that free sample gravy train as I'm looking at this container of Blue Isle Mediterranean Blueberry Yogurt Spread.  Now, everyone is familiar with flavored cream cheese (well, almost everyone), so this is a spin on that with the spread being made from yogurt as opposed to cream cheese.  What's also unique about this is that Blue Isle advertises this as being able to be used in spreads, dips, smoothies (?!), replacements in recipes for mayo, etc.  It's a very versatile product.  A container of this is 8.0 ounces and within that container are eight servings, each measuring out to about two tablespoons.  Each serving packs in 60 calories and a gram of protein.

Review: Annie's Organic Berry Berry Granola Bars

The clearance section at Marsh has had some good stuff in it recently, at least in my opinion.  Today is another one of those finds in the section as I picked up an Annie's product, of which I've seen countless times in various stores, but have never wanted to make the big leap to buy any of them.  Clearance will make a guy do funny things though and that's why I decided to grab this box of Annie's Organic Berry Berry Granola Bars off the shelf.  Each box has six 0.98 ounce bars and each bar is 120 calories with two grams of protein.

Review: Chobani Simply 100 Crunch Blueberry Cookie Crumble Greek Yogurt

Another day, another Chobani product.  Well, maybe it just feels that way since I bought several all in the same shopping trip.  Anyway, today's review is of a new product that I picked up for $1.25 at my local Kroger.  This Chobani Simply 100 Crunch Blueberry Cookie Crumble Greek Yogurt clocks in at a diminutive 4.2 ounces and packs in 100 calories with ten grams of protein.  It's also all natural, kosher and vegan.  Pretty brief intro today, but's all I've got to say for now since I can't come up with anything particularly creative.  Call it Chobani fatigue.

Review: Yoplait Plenti Blueberry Plentiful Greek Yogurt

I mentioned in my last Yoplait Plenti review that these cups of Greek yogurt seemed like they were something that had been out forever and that's why I had steered away from reviewing them, figuring that I already had.  As I mentioned, it turns out that they were new-ish and I was just dreaming that they had been reviewed before.  So, since I've neglected them in the past, I figured it was time to plow through with another review as I grabbed this Yoplait Plenti Blueberry Plentiful Greek Yogurt off the shelves of Kroger for $1.00.  It's 5.3 ounces and is packed with 140 calories and twelve grams of protein.

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: Ehrmann Mixim Fat-Free Greek Yogurt with Blueberry and Chocolate Chip Cookies Bites

There's several notable things about today's review.  First, this is the first review of an Ehrmann product on this blog.  Second, the name of this product is trying to be really cute by referring to its ability to mix ingredients together with the cute name of "Mixim."  Third, I think this might be the longest product name that I've ever put in as a review.  Usually, I try to shorten the product names to not include fat-free, etc., but as I was looking at the label for this, the elongated product name was integral to the name of the product in general, in my opinion.  With that, I begin this review of the single serving container of Ehrmann Mixim Fat-Free Greek Yogurt with Blueberry and Chocolate Chip Cookies Bites that I picked up at Kroger for $1.29.  It's 5.3 ounces and within the three compartments are 150 calories and ten grams of protein that are all made together with natural ingredients.

Review: Dannon Oikos Triple Zero Mixed Berry Blended Greek Yogurt

Have I missed some sort of revolt against yogurt companies that people are declaring that they want room to put their own toppings in yogurt cups.  Today's review, another Dannon product, clearly states on the packaging that there is room for toppings in the container.  This isn't the first time that I've seen this from this manufacturer or other manufacturers either.  I know food manufacturing is a follow-the-leader type of game with everyone settling on the same themes, flavors, etc.  Could this room for toppings thing be the next big thing?  I have no idea.  Anyway, I picked up this 5.3 ounce cup of Dannon Oikos Triple Zero Mixed Berry Blended Greek Yogurt at Meijer for $0.88.  It's packed with 120 calories and a surprising fifteen grams of protein, all in a cute nonfat package (with room for toppings!).

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: Stonyfield Organic Greek and Chia Blueberry Greek Yogurt

I'm starting to run thin on reviews and because of that, I'm reviewing a lot of manufacturers in the same week.  I try to stay away from doing that unless there is some sort of theme going on, but desperate times call for desperate measures and that leads me to another Stonyfield Organic review as I'm once again taking a look at one of their new products with this review of the Stonyfield Organic Greek and Chia Blueberry Greek Yogurt that I picked up at Kroger for $1.25.  The cup itself is 5.3 ounces and within that are 140 calories and twelve gram of protein.  It's organic, gluten free and kosher and all that fun stuff too.

Review: KIND Blueberry Vanilla & Cashew Fruit & Nut Bar

I've often mentioned here that I sometimes find products where it shocks me that I've never reviewed them because it seems like I would have done so in the past since it's not a new product and it's been on the shelves of my local store for quite some time.  Today's product review of this KIND Blueberry Vanilla & Cashew Fruit & Nut Bar is one of those instances I'm stunned that I've never done a review on this before.  With that, let's dive in.  This bar was picked up at Kroger for $1.37 and comes in at 1.4 ounces.  It's packing 190 calories and four grams of protein and is also all natural, cholesterol free and gluten free.

Review: Balance Bar Bare Mixed Berry Nut Bar

At the rate I'm going, I could almost solicit a sponsorship for this blog from Kroger as their Free Friday Download program continues to grow the number of reviews on this blog.  What I do like about that program (other than the free stuff, of course) is that it forces me to look in sections of the store that I've been away from for a while and looking in those sections allows me to find new products that I have never seen before, as is the case with today's review of this Balance Bar Bare Mixed Berry Nut Bar that I can add to the already expansive collection of Balance Bar reviews.  It's a 1.19 ounce bar and it has 160 calories and four grams of protein.  It's also dairy free, gluten free and soy free if that floats any of your boats.

Review: Yulu Blueberry Aussie Style Yogurt

If you were to take a walk through the yogurt sections of some of my local grocery stores, you would think that the Australians have a problem with the Greeks since it seems like there are all sorts of Australian yogurts taking shelf space away from Greek yogurts.  Perhaps there's some bitterness over the way the Greeks ruined the 2004 Olympics after the Australians did such a good job in 2000 or maybe it's something else.  I know that's a ridiculous premise, but I had to come up with some sort of introduction for this post and that's the best that my feeble imagination could come up with.  Anyway, I picked up another Australian yogurt product in this Yulu Blueberry Aussie Style Yogurt at my local Meijer for $1.39.  It's 5.3 ounces and has 180 calories with nine grams of protein.  Or, as the label on the container says, "Double Smoothed.  Double Delicious.  Honest ingredients and a good source of protein."  Alrighty then.

Review: Stonyfield Organic Belle Blueberry Petite Creme Low Fat Sweet Fresh Cheese

As I've been writing these posts recently, it seems like I've been hitting on a lot of what I'll call the "greatest hits", meaning that they are manufacturers that I reviewed somewhat frequently in the past but have stayed away from recently because I haven't been able to find that many new products or flavors that interest me.  Stonyfield Organic is one of those manufacturers as I haven't touched on one of their products since February 2014 and it was as far back as May 2012 before that.  Upon some recent browsing at Meijer, I saw that they've introduced a new line of products in their Petite Creme line.  What makes this line of products interesting is that while they may look like yogurt and be sitting next to the yogurts in your local store, they are not in fact yogurt.  They are actually modeled a French cheese that silky and eaten just like yogurt (yes, I had to look this up).  That seemed kind of odd and intersting to me, so I picked up several of these Petite Cremes on my Meijer trip for $1.25 each and this Stonyfield Organic Belle Blueberry Petite Creme Low Fat Sweet Fresh Cheese comes in at 5.3 ounces with 130 calories and ten grams of protein.

Review: Siggi's Skyr Blueberry Icelandic-Style Yogurt

I recently took a look at my first Siggi's product and while I appreciated the intent of the product, I wasn't overly impressed with how it turned out.  With that less than stellar introduction to the blog, the only thing that hurried me into doing another review was that this 5.3 ounce container of  Siggi's Skyr Blueberry Icelandic-Style Yogurt that I purchased for $1.50 at Meijer had an expiration date on it and I didn't want to be wasteful and watch this product go bad.  Anyway, just like the last one, this single serving cup packed 110 calories and fourteen grams of protein into its Iceland-style yogurt cup.

Review: Boundless Nutrition Oatmega Blueberry Pomegranate Bar

It's been a while since I've taken a look at an Oatmega bar.  This one has just been laying around waiting for me to review and I've been putting off doing it because, quite frankly, the combination kind of scared me.  I love blueberries, but I'm not particularly fond of the pomegranate flavor in a lot of cases, so I've been taking my time getting to doing a review of this Boundless Nutrition Oatmega Blueberry Pomegranate Bar.  Alas, I couldn't put it off forever, so that leads me to take a look at this bar that I picked up at Marsh for $2.99.  Each bar is 1.8 ounces with 190 calories and fourteen grams of protein.  It's all natural, made of whey protein and is high in Omega 3, so it's got all those delightful characteristics going for it.

Review: Nature Valley Blueberry Soft-Baked Oatmeal Squares

I've covered in a recent review how Quaker Oats is a product producing machine and is actually the source of the second most amount of reviews on this blog.  Another big time, although not as big, producer in this blog's history is General Mills, of which Nature Valley is one of their products that I've hit many times on this blog.  Today, I've got another Nature Valley hit with a review of one of their new products as I take a look at this box of six Nature Valley Blueberry Soft-Baked Oatmeal Squares that I was able to pick up in a crazy sale at my local Meijer for $1.88.  Each of the six bars in the box is 1.24 ounces and has 150 calories and two grams of protein.

Review: Fruttare Mixed Berry and Milk Frozen Fruit & Milk Dessert Bars

When Fruttare bars first came out in my area, I hammered them with a large series of reviews, but have mainly stayed away for quite a while.  A little while back, a member of Fruttare's publicity team contacted me and asked if I'd like to try out some of their new flavors.  Being the glutton for food and free stuff that I am, I happily accepted the offer and they sent me out two vouchers for free products.  One of those vouchers got me today's product with this box of Fruttare Strawberry and Milk + Mixed Berry and Milk Frozen Fruit & Milk Dessert Bars.  As you can quite easily see, there are two flavors in this box but since the Mixed Berry-flavored bars are the new ones, I'll primarily focus on those for the purposes of this review.  Each of those bars is 2.7 fluid ounces and 110 calories.
