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: Yoplait Original Cookies 'n Cream Yogurt

Freebies will do funny things, especially free food freebies.  I've often been the victim of Kroger's Free Friday Download on this blog and I even get hit by Meijer occasionally as well.  For the first time, I got hit my Marsh and that's what ended up in today's review adding to my Yoplait review catalog as I grabbed this six ounce container of the new flavor Yoplait Original Cookies 'n Cream Yogurt out of the Marsh dairy case.  It's low fat and it clocked in with 170 calories and five grams of protein.

Review: Chef Robert Irvine's FortiFX Fit Crunch Cookies and Cream Protein Bar

I've mentioned many times on this blog that I really like the Food Network and on that network, one of my favorite chefs is Robert Irvine.  Not because he's necessarily the world's greatest chef, but because he's a charismatic and engaging personality and his shows are generally pretty good.  I took a look at one of his bars long ago and I liked it quite a bit, but I've had difficulty finding them since then, thus the absence.  On a recent sojourn to the Walmart Neighborhood Market, I was finally able to stumble upon a different flavor in this Chef Robert Irvine's FortiFX Fit Crunch Cookies and Cream Protein Bar that I grabbed for $1.99.  This one clocks in at 1.62 ounces with 190 calories and sixteen grams of protein, by the way.

Review: Gatorade G-Series Recover Cookies and Creme Whey Protein Bar

For whatever reason, my typical Kroger has decided to only carry one flavor of these Gatorade G-Series bars which I've reviewed here previously.  I hadn't seen any other flavors until I was recently strolling through an "enemy" Marsh store (not only a different company, but also not my typical Marsh store) and saw a couple flavors of bars that I hadn't seen previously, so I knew I had to snatch them up.  That leads me to today's review of this Gatorade G-Series Recover Cookies and Creme Whey Protein Bar that I was able to grab for $1.99.  This meathead bar clocks in at 2.8 ounces with 360 calories and twenty grams of protein, so it's clearly got a lot of bulk.

Review: Lenny & Larry's Cookies & Cream Muscle Brownie

So Lenny & Larry liked my last review so much that they called it "Awesome" on Twitter.  I found that last bar to be beyond tasty and I also found out in the comments section that another reader say that today's Lenny & Larry's Cookies & Cream Muscle Brownie was even better.  I had already purchased it for $1.25 at Kroger, so reading that in the comments just made me feel even better about my purchase.  As I mentioned previously, these muscle brownies are so huge at 2.82 ounces that Lenny & Larry feel that they are actually two servings per package even though it is only one brownie.  Each of those servings is 170 calories and has 10 grams of serving, so if you devour the entire brownie, you are getting quite a calorie and protein load.
