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: Bodybuilding Warehouse Rich Chocolate Premium Protein Cookies

Well, this is a first.  I've never had a U.K.-based company contact me with a free product offer but that happened recently and that leads me to this review.  Oddly, even though this a U.S.-based blog, I get a fair amount of readers based in the U.K.  Not sure why or how, but it does happen.  Anyway, Bodybuilding Warehouse (maker of bodybuilding supplements) contacted me and today's review is of the Bodybuilding Warehouse Rich Chocolate Premium Protein Cookies.  Since it is the U.K. and they use the metric system, I can tell you that my cookie was 75 grams.  Using my wonderful Google machine, I have found out that this is 2.65 ounces in the U.S.'s antiquated, but AWESOME, standard measurement system.  Within that cookie is 326 calories and a WHOPPING 37.5 grams of protein.  Holy moly.  I could probably get more muscular just from looking at this cookie, much less eating it.  But, eating it is what I am here to do, so here we go.

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: Chobani flip Strawberry Summer Crisp Greek Yogurt

I think I've mentioned this before, but I remember the early review days of this blog when Chobani was the new kid on the block and the little engine that could.  Now, thanks to the Greek yogurt craze (which they helped start), they are a powerhouse!  Continually rolling out new flavors, new designs, etc.  They are everywhere.  It's another one of those new things that led me to pick up one of their limited batch products recently at Marsh when I grabbed this single serving container of Chobani flip Strawberry Summer Crisp Greek Yogurt for $1.25.  It's 5.3 ounces with 190 calories and twelve grams of protein.

Review: OhYeah! Cookie Caramel Crunch Bar

I hadn't realized it (probably because I hadn't thought about it), but it's been a really long time since I've reviewed an OhYeah! product.  I mean, with a fun name like that and a wrapper that states "Unprecedented Taste", how could I not keep reviewing these bars?  Actually, that's an easy one to answer...there weren't any other flavors available in my local stores.  Kroger recently added OhYeah! products and in doing so, added a flavor that I haven't looked at before so for one whole dollar, I picked up this OhYeah! Cookie Caramel Crunch Bar.  This one's gluten free and weighs in at 1.59 ounces, packing in 180 calories and fifteen grams of protein.

Review: Edy's (Dreyer's) Mint Cookies 'N Cream Frozen Custard

I recently when to a Chicago Cubs game in JUNE where it was fifty degrees in the middle of the day.  Needless to say, I was not happy.  So, anytime I find a killer sale that helps remind me of one of summer's favorite treats, I'm pretty inclined to buy it since it'll remind me of the summer that I HOPE will actually happen.  With that, I saw another Edy's custard product (they're new) on sale at Kroger for $2.49.  I had a $1.00 off coupon, so this was basically free!  Anyway, the container of this Edy's (Dreyer's) Mint Cookies 'N Cream Frozen Custard was one quart (32 ounces) and each quart had eight half-cup size servings that clocked in at 210 calories per serving.

Review: Ben & Jerry's Spectacular Speculoos Cookie Core Ice Cream

So yeah, I eat a lot of Ben & Jerry's.  I've had over thirty flavors that I've done reviews for on this blog, but in the grand scheme of their flavors over the years, that's not a lot.  For one guy though, I think eating that many would probably put me outside the norm.  Comes with the territory as a reviewer, I guess.  Anyway, to add to the number of flavors that I've tried, I picked up a pint of this Ben & Jerry's Spectacular Speculoos Cookie Core Ice Cream on sale at Kroger for $2.99.  Each pint contains the customary four half-cup servings and each serving is a not-so-healthy 290 calories.

Also, I went into this pint thinking I had no idea what a Speculoos cookie was.  Apparently, I was wrong and I've reviewed something with speculoos before in a Haagen-Dazs review (oohh, a competitor!).  I guess it's hard to remember things when you eat such a variety and have done over one thousand reviews.  In my very weak defense, it was over two years ago and speculoos weren't even part of the name of the flavor.

Review: Edy's (Dreyer's) Peanut Butter Pie Frozen Custard

I'm not going to kid myself anymore.  I am on a fully crazed dessert binge.  Cookies, ice cream, cake, custard (in today's case), whatever.  I can't get enough of my sweets and I'm eating a ton of them.  Some of that has been reflected on the blog.  BUT, in this case, it's probably okay.  I've lost a bunch of weight (not be design) and I need to put a few pounds back on as I've mentioned before, so this course of action certainly helps me do that, even though they aren't healthy pounds since they are backed in sugar and junk.  Oh well.  Anyway, today's review adds to my Edy's (Dreyer's in the west) review collection as I was able to grab a 32 ounce container of this new Edy's (Dreyer's) Peanut Butter Pie Custard at my local Kroger on sale for $2.99.  Each container has eight half-cup servings and each serving is 250 calories.

Review: Ben & Jerry's The Tonight Dough Ice Cream

In my last couple ice cream posts, I've tried to convince myself that I've been trying to be healthier recently and avoid buying ice cream.  In this post, I'm not even going to try and I'll just admit that I've fallen off the wagon and have buying ice cream again.  Part of it is because summer is approaching and the warmer weather makes me want to eat frozen treats, but another part of it is that I've dropped a bit too much weight and I need to put a couple pounds back on.  With that, I picked up this pint of Ben & Jerry's The Tonight Dough Ice Cream to add to my illustrious review catalog.  I picked this one up on sale at Kroger for $2.99 and each pint has the typical four half-cup servings at a robust 310 calories per serving.  Yikes.  It's a treat, I guess.

One more thing before I get into the review...it irritates me that this is the second ice cream flavor that Ben & Jerry's has done with Jimmy Fallon.  He was okay on Saturday Night Live Weekend Update, but outside of that, I find him particularly annoying.  I know he's supposedly doing a decent job with The Tonight Show from what I've heard, but I think his playing games with guests is just plain stupid.  Also, The Tonight Show is stupid and has been since Johnny Carson left.  I'm a David Letterman guy (he goes out this week and I'm going to miss him) and hate Jay Leno, so ever since that shift, I've hated The Tonight Show.  Okay, that's a diatribe that this blog didn't need, but I'm taking a little editorial freedom here.  Anyway, now that my whining and rambling is over, let's dive into the review!

Review: Breyers Gelato Indulgences Tiramisu

If you are a semi-regular reader of the blog, you may have noticed recently that I've been trying to stay away from the frozen dessert-types of products.  I developed an out of control fetish for them last year and my goal for the past few months has been to try to bring that under control.  But, every now and then, I revert to my old self (usually caused by a sale and/or coupon) and when I was strolling through my local Kroger recently, I saw a new Breyers product with this 28.5 ounce container of Breyers Gelato Indulgences Tiramisu that I knew I had to try and add to my review catalog.  Each container of this gelato has seven half-cup servings and each serving is 170 calories.

Review: Mrs. Fields Peanut Butter Chip Nibblers Cookies

So here we go...time for the last review of the three new Nibblers cookies that Mrs. Fields is releasing to the grocery market.  These cookies are bite-sized, fudge dipped and soft-baked, so they've got all sorts of additional deliciousness all wrapped up into their tiny little package.  Each box of these Mrs. Fields Peanut Butter Nibblers Cookies is foil wrapped for freshness and within that freshness wrapping, there are fifteen cookies.  Each serving is measured out to be two cookies (Who can stop at just two?!) and those servings weigh out to 120 calories.

Review: Mrs. Fields Double Chocolate Fudge Nibblers Cookies

I mentioned in my previous review that Mrs. Fields sent me a box of three different flavors of cookies that they'd be using for their foray into the grocery products industry and that review got a very positive results.  It was off of that positive result that I was anxious to dive into another review...wait...who am I kidding?  I was anxious to dive into another review because I LOVE cookies.  So, today I'm going to take a look at this box of Mrs. Fields Double Chocolate Fudge Nibblers Cookies.  Each box contains fifteen bite-sized, fudge-dipped and soft-baked cookies and a serving (two cookies) will set you back 120 calories.

Review: Mrs. Fields Milk Chocolate Chip Nibblers Cookies

Mall icon Mrs. Fields has decided to enter into the grocery store product foray and as part of that entrance, they were kind enough to send me boxes of their new flavors along with some special promotional packaging, which really amused me and naturally was too stupid to take a photograph of before ripping it up and throwing it into the garbage.  The packaging revolved around the milk and cookies motif and included a small glass bottle for milk and red and white checkerboard napkins.  From a presentation perspective, I've got to give them credit for creativity.  Anyway, for my first review, I figured it would only be fitting to review one of the most classic cookies that there is with this review of a box of Mrs. Fields Milk Chocolate Chip Nibblers Cookies.  Each box contains fifteen cookies wrapped in a foil wrapper and being that these are called Nibblers, they are bite-sized, fudge dipped and also soft-baked.

Review: Oreo Limited Edition Marshmallow Crispy Cookies

Okay, okay...I know I'm kind of selling out with this review.  Admittedly, I don't always review healthy foods as I've reviewed my fair share of desserts (ice creams, etc.), but this blog is a business for me after all and I want to generate the page hits that a review like this will bring me.  Sorry.  Anyway, I believe this is the first time I have ever ventured into the junk food category with today's review of this package of Oreo Marshmallow Crispy Cookies that I somehow got sent to me in the mail in one of the countless promotions that I signed up for (lucky me!).  Anyway, this limited edition (they have also introduce a Cookie Dough flavor) package of cookies weighed in at 12.2 ounces and had twelve servings (two cookies per serving) and each serving was 140 calories.  Not exactly a diet food, but I clearly knew that going in.

Review: HannahMax All Natural Dark Chocolate Chocolate Chip Crunchy Cookie Chips

As I continue to plow my way through free products with another HannahMax review, I'm lead to another review out of their so far pleasant all natural baked cookie chips line with this review of the HannahMax All Natural Dark Chocolate Chocolate Chip Crunchy Cookie Chips.  As with the others, this is a 6.0 ounce bag and each bag contains six servings of about five cookies per serving.  Each of those servings clocks in at 120 calories, by the way.

Review: HannahMax All Natural Sea Salted Peanut Butter Crunchy Cookie Chips

I mentioned in my first HannahMax review that they sent me a box full of free product to try out and review here on the blog and that box of free products leads me to today's review of this bag of HannahMax All Natural Sea Salted Peanut Butter Crunchy Cookie Chips.  This bag itself was 6.0 ounces and each bag has six servings (about five cookies) and each serving is 130 calories of all natural goodness.

Review: HannahMax All Natural Cinnamon Sugar Crunchy Cookie Chips

I love it when product manufacturers contact me and ask me to review their new product offerings.  I'm a big freebie guy and while not all freebies are good, I always do love getting them.  Today's freebie leads me to review this bag of HannahMax All Natural Cinnamon Sugar Cookie Crunchy Chips that was shipped to me along with several other bags (some basic flavors, some interesting flavors) to give shots to for reviews.  This bag itself weighs in at 6.0 ounces and each bag has six servings and each serving is roughly five cookies and 130 calories.

Review: CLIF Builder's MAX Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Protein Bar

Pardon the horrible attempt at humor here, but I think that since CLIF has two versions of Builder's bars, one of which is called MAX, the other should have a name change to MINIMUM or something like that.  Don't you think?  Yeah, that's probably not going to happen and that is a ridiculous observation on my part.  Anyway, with today's review, I'll be diving into another review of one of the MAX bars with this review of the CLIF Builder's MAX Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Protein Bar that I picked up at Kroger for $1.50.  This bar definitely does push the maximum as it is a behemoth of a bar clocking in at 3.4 ounces with 380 calories and thirty grams of protein.  Yep, this is the one you eat when you want to build some solid and hardcore muscle.

Review: Larabar ALT Peanut Butter Cookie Fruit and Nut Bar

So here we go with another review from the Larabar ALT family of product.  Pea packed and powered, these bars are in a lot of the same flavors as the classic Larabar foods, but they are just jammed packed with that pea/protein element this time in the case of this Larabar ALT Peanut Butter Cookie Fruit and Nut Bar.  I picked this one up on sale at Meijer for $1.25 and it comes in at 1.95 ounces and is packed with 240 calories and ten grams of protein.

Review: Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Peppermint Crunch Ice Cream

Before I dive into another Ben & Jerry's review, I feel that I should fully disclose that I'm not a fan of peppermint ice creams.  I've never really had a sparkling experience with them and frankly, most of the time I feel that I'm eating mouthwash mixed with ice cream.  It's kind of sad too because I love peppermint candies, so I really wish that I could have a positive experience with them and ice cream, but I'm yet to find one.  In that quest for one that I like, I'm led to today's review of this new-ish Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Peppermint Crunch Ice Cream.  I picked this up on sale at Meijer for $2.50 and each half-cup serving (there are four of them in a pint, of course) comes in at a robust 290 calories.
