Review: Chobani flip Coffee Break Bliss Greek Yogurt

Sometimes when you buy too much of a particular manufacturer's products, you end up with situations like the one I had today where I'm writing a review of a Chobani product on the day that a previous Chobani review gets posted to the blog.  That's happened countless times, but it never ceases to amuse me for some reason.  Digression aside, today's review allows me to hit up this 5.3 ounce cup of Chobani flip Coffee Break Bliss Greek Yogurt that I was able to pick up at Kroger for $1.29.  With in the split section cup are 190 calories and twelve grams of protein.  It's also kosher and vegetarian, if you are interested.

Review: Chobani Coffee Blended Greek Yogurt

I'll admit that I've been hesitant to add the subject of today's review to my Chobani review catalog because I'm just not a fan of the flavor in food products (big fan of the drink).  There's been several instances on the blog where my prejudices against coffee have been proven wrong, but there's also been other occasions where I've been proven right.  On a recent trip to Meijer, I finally decided to get over my fear of this cup of Chobani Coffee Blended Greek Yogurt and pick it up for $1.00 to review.  The measurements of the cup itself include 5.3 ounces, 160 calories and twelve grams of protein.  It's also all natural, Gluten Free, Kosher and Vegetarian as well, so it's got all of that going for it.  Now, will it have the coffee going for it in a pleasing way?  I guess that's what I'm here to find out!

Review: KIND Nuts & Spices Dark Chocolate Mocha Almond Bar

Today's review subject presented me with quite a dilemma.  First of all, I'm not the biggest fan of dark chocolate.  That doesn't mean that I hate it, but out of all the types of chocolate, dark chocolate is my least favorite.  Secondly, my feelings about mocha are mixed.  I very much like coffee and drink it most mornings, but coffee-flavored food products are not high on my list of desirable things.  That said, I was willing to give another KIND product a shot, despite my reservations, when I picked up this KIND Nuts & Spices Dark Chocolate Mocha Almond Bar at Kroger for $1.25.  It's 1.4 ounces and has 200 calories and six grams of protein.  As with most, if not all, KIND products, it's all natural, gluten free, etc.

Review: Yoplait Greek Cafe Mocha 2% Greek Yogurt

I've alluded previously to the fact that this blog is getting yogurt heavy and that assault on yogurt continues once again today.  Today's review adds another Yoplait product to the review catalog as I take a rare look at a yogurt that still has some milk fat in it as I look at this single serving cup of Yoplait Greek Cafe Mocha 2% Greek Yogurt.  I was able to pick this one up at Kroger for $1.00 and it comes in at 5.3 ounces and is packed with a respectable 150 calories and eleven grams of protein.

Review: Dannon Oikos Traditional Cafe Latte Greek Yogurt

I have mentioned many times before on this blog that I love freebies.  The fact that Kroger now has a Free Friday Download via their store app plays right into that and one of those free downloads led to today's review of this cup of Dannon Oikos Traditional Cafe Latte Greek Yogurt.  I'm a coffee drinker, but not much of a coffee-flavored food product guy, so I knew this one would be interesting going in and it adds to my growing list of reviews from the Oikos Traditional line.  Still, it's free and that alone makes me want to try it.  Anyway, this cup of single serving Greek yogurt weighs in at 5.3 ounces and has 160 calories and eleven grams of protein.

Review: Fiber One 90 Calorie Cinnamon Coffee Cake Brownies

I've mentioned in review of other products how much I enjoy coffee cake and how much it reminds me of my childhood as we would often see it at fellowship and networking events.  Seeing that General Mills has decided to jump on the coffee cake train with their newest bar out of the Fiber One 90 Calorie line of products both very much intrigued and excited me and that leads me to today's review of these Fiber One 90 Calorie Cinnamon Coffee Cake Brownies.  I picked up a box of six of these on sale at Meijer for $3.00 and each bar within the box is of course 90 calories and has less than a gram of protein, so this is obviously a snack bar and that's about it.

Review: Kashi GOLEAN Crunchy! (Crisp!) Cinnamon Coffee Cake Bar

Throughout my childhood, my family went to church every Sunday morning.  We'd get there early, go to Sunday School and partake in the fellowship opportunities before and sometimes after church.  Our church was no different than a lot of churches in America in the respect that these fellowship events included a truckload of coffee and pastries, including coffee cake.  To say that I've eaten my fair share of pastries because of those fellowship events would be an understatement, so when I saw this Kashi GOLEAN Crunchy! Cinnamon Coffee Cake Bar (Kashi has now changed the name and look, but not the flavor, of these to the Crisp! line of bars, so this particular packaging is a dying breed) in the nutrition bar section for $1.33 in my local Kroger, I was incredibly intrigued by how Kashi could possibly turn the delicious pastry into a nutrition bar, so I immediately snatched it up to add to my catalog of Kashi reviews.  The bar itself comes in at 1.59 ounces and is 160 calories with eight grams of protein and five grams of fiber.  It's all natural bar and also contains Kashi's proprietary mix of seven whole grains.

Review: Haagen-Dazs Cappuccino Gelato

First things first, coffee...good.  Coffe-flavored ice cream...the jury is still out on that one.  In my continuing quest to have to buy an entire new wardrobe due to eating ice cream, I'm led to yet another Haagen-Dazs gelato review with this review of their Haagen-Dazs Cappuccino Gelato.  After taking a look at that link to their site, I came to the humorous recognition that I've reviewed nearly every single flavor they have after this review (as of this writing; that flavor list could and will probably grow in the future).  Knowing that, I was eager to dive into this fourteen ounce container that I picked up on sale at Kroger for $2.49.  Each container contains the customary 3.5 half-cup servings and each serving clocks in at an economical (for Haagen-Dazs) 230 calories.

Review: Honey P. Nutty Espresso PB Bar

On the blog so far, I've been delighted that Honey P. Nutty sought me out to send me some products to try for reviews since I've very much enjoyed their honey and peanut based products.  That enjoyment led me to give a shot to one of the odder flavors that were sent to me (although not the oddest) with this review of the Honey P. Nutty Espresso PB Bar.  This one clocks in at 1.8 ounces with a robust 251 calories and seven grams of protein.  As with the other bars, it's handmade in Santa Fe, New Mexico and is also gluten free.

Review: New Orleans Ice Cream Company Cafe Au Lait & Beignets Ice Cream

So the New Orleans Ice Cream Company string of reviews finally ends continues as I go onto another review from the free shipment of pints that I received and that leads me to this review of the New Orleans Ice Cream Company Cafe Au Lait & Beignets Ice Cream.  I've had experience reviewing coffee flavored ice cream pints before when I reviewed Starbucks' Caramel Macchiato and wasn't particularly fond of it, so I've purposely held this one for last because of that reason.  Before I dive into this, the nutrition information includes four half-cup servings at a reasonable 200 calories per serving.

Review: Balance Bar Mocha Chip Bar

I would place Balance Bar in the same category as CLIF and Zone Perfect in the respect that they have a seemingly endless amount of products out on the market.  They have various product lines, various flavors, etc. When I look at companies like those, it just seems like I'll never reach the end of their product lines and while that is not bad, it certainly is daunting when I really think about it.  Knowing that I'll never review all of Balance's products, I'm still willing to plod on and do another Balance Bar review with this review of the Mocha Chip bar.  This bar is one of their basic bars and clocks in at a standard 1.76 ounces with 200 calories and fifteen grams of protein.  I picked it up at Meijer at its regular price of $1.09, by the way.

Review: Starbucks Caramel Macchiato Ice Cream

Love them or hate them, Starbucks is always sure to generate a strong reaction from just about anyone that you could come into contact with.  Personally, I like their coffee.  Granted, I only order coffee and not any of the flavored drinks, so I'm not the most knowledgeable person on the subject.  That said, I do think they are slightly overpriced, but I'm willing to pay it for what I feel is pretty solid coffee.  So, when I saw that my local Meijer was offering these pints for essentially free (actually $1.97) to clear shelf space for Ben & Jerry's new Greek frozen yogurt, I had to give this Caramel Macchiato flavor a try and see how their coffee products translated into ice cream.  Each pint contains four servings at 240 calories per serving and also contains caffeine (it is coffee ice cream, DUH!), by the way.
