Review: Yoplait Greek 100 Whips! Coconut Macaroon Greek Yogurt Mousse

I'm not going to lie, it's been almost two weeks since I've physically typed out a review and quite frankly, I haven't missed it much.  Not sure that bodes well for the future of the blog, but I will be popping in periodically to submit review of new products that I find in the store.  Today's review adds to the exponentially large Yoplait review catalog as I'll take a look at this Yoplait Greek 100 Whips! Coconut Macaroon Greek Yogurt Mousse that I was able to pick up at Kroger for $1.00.  Each container is a fluffy and light 4.0 ounces and is packed in with 100 calories and nine grams of protein.  It's also gluten free.

Review: Curate Salted Decadence Dark Chocolate & Almonds Bar

Curate bars have successfully infiltrated my Kroger in all shapes and sizes.  Okay, so maybe they are all the same shape and size, but they at least have different flavor varieties and I've taken a look at some of those already.  In standard operating procedure for me and this blog, today's review is another example of me plowing through all the flavor varieties of a particular manufacturer as I take a look at this Curate Salted Decadence Dark Chocolate & Almonds Bar that I was able to pick up at the aforementioned Kroger for $1.79.  Each bar clocks in at 1.59 ounces and has 200 calories with seven grams of protein.  It's also gluten free and crafted with joy, so if either of those things are of interest to you, then maybe that sparked a little interest in this review for you.

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: Curate Indulgent Dark Chocolate & Hazelnuts Bar

Another day in the books for me, which means its time for me to curate another review.  Like that brilliant introduction/segue into this review?  Yeah, it's incredibly lame.  Anyway, I was able to pick up another one of these Curate bars at Kroger for about $1.79 and since it really is another day, that means it is time for another review.  This time it's the Curate Indulgent Dark Chocolate & Hazelnuts Bar.  This bar clocks in at 1.59 ounces and packs 200 calories and six grams of protein into that package.  It's also gluten free if that is your thing and you are interested.

Review: Promax Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Protein Bar

There's a movie that came out a while back called "This Is The End" starring James Franco and Seth Rogen, among others.  Well, when I grabbed this bar out of the refrigerator, I thought of that movie because this review truly is the end (FINALLY) of the free samples that Promax sent to me quite a while ago.  It's taken me forever to work my way through these, but with today's review, I end up with a look at this Promax Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Protein Bar.  The bar itself clocks in at 2.64 ounces and has 290 calories with twenty grams of protein.  It is also gluten free for those of you that have that dietary need.

Review: Curate Harmonious Blend Marcona Almond & Apricot Bar

So I was in Kroger recently and noticed that a new brand of bars had crept onto the shelves.  What I also noticed about these bars is that they proudly profess on the wrapper that they are made with joy (it is a harmonious blend after all!).  The cynic in me just wants to eat that up and destroy them for it, but I'll try to keep this intro as positive as possible against all urges and just dive right in to this review of the Curate Harmonious Blend Marcona Almond & Apricot Bar that I was able to grab for $1.79 (I think).  It's 1.59 ounces and within that are 190 calories and six grams of protein.  It's also gluten and soy free.

Review: Brookside Dark Chocolate Cranberry With Blackberry Flavor Fruit & Nut Bar

I've reviewed these Brookside bars before and I found/find it funny how they take one fruit as the primary ingredient and then they top that with more fruit, but not just fruit...fruit FLAVOR.  Is it too much to ask to have the fruit in there?  Okay, I'm going off the deep end as usual here.  Anyway, I was recently browsing my local Kroger when I saw boxes upon boxes of these Brookside bars on clearance, so I grabbed this Brookside Dark Chocolate Cranberry With Blackberry Flavor Fruit & Nut Bar on clearance for $0.79.  I'd imagine it's typically in the $1.50 range though.  Anyway, this bar is 1.4 ounces, has 180 calories and packs in a modest four grams of protein.  The bar is gluten free, but I do find it funny that the nutritional info on the website specifically says that this is NOT Kosher.  Can't say I've ever seen that definitively stated before.

Review: Good2Go Almond Fruit Nut Protein Bars

Several months ago, I received a four boxes of a variety of bars from Good2Go.  Well, it's taken me several months, but I am FINALLY ready to wrap up the reviews of what all I received in those boxes as I take a dive into this review of the Good2Go Almond Fruit Nut Protein Bars.  As you can see from above, there are eight bars per box and each bar clocks in at 2.47 ounces.  What you can't see is that each bar has 298 calories and a fairly robust 18 grams of protein.  It's also gluten free, so it's got that going for it.

Review: Promax Nutty Butter Crisp Protein Bar

I've been remiss in adding more product to my Promax review collection.  What makes that really pathetic is that I was given a batch of free samples and it has taken me forever to get through them.  Well, today is another addition to that collection (only one more free sample to go) as I take a look at this Promax Nutty Butter Crisp Protein Bar, which is one of Promax's original flavors.  Hooray for that, I suppose.  It's also a bulky protein bar that clocks in at 2.64 ounces and has 300 calories with twenty grams of protein.  It's also gluten free, kosher and vegetarian, so it could be eaten by a wide variety of audiences (I'm trying to spin as much as I can to being positive today).

Review: Yoplait Greek 100 Whips! Salted Caramel Greek Yogurt Mousse

These Whips! products have been popping up in the dairy case at my local grocery stores with increasing frequency and I've been knocking the off with reviews as they've been popping up.  Today's review is of a new flavor that has popped into the case (and Yoplait's product line) in this single serving cup of Yoplait Greek 100 Whips! Salted Caramel Greek Yogurt Mousse.  I was able to get this one at Marsh as a freebie (lucky me!), but it would ordinarily be in the $1.00ish range.  The cup itself is a fluffy 4.0 ounces (same size cup as the other Greek yogurt products, but lighter contents) and contains 100 calories and nine grams of protein.

Review: Skinny Noodles Shirataki Angel Hair

So I've ventured into Skinny Noodles territory before and I let's just say that I found several things about the experience to be very interesting.  I'll never forget the smell of them after I took them out of the packaging and while I eventually made the smell go away with some intense rinsing, it's something that will stick with me forever.  That said, Skinny Noodles actually responded to my post via Twitter and gave me a tip on how to more quickly rid myself of that smell:  rinse the noodles in vinegar.  With that tip in my back of tricks, I was ready to embark on another Skinny Noodles adventure and take a look at this package of Skinny Noodles Shirataki Angel Hair.  This one was given to me by my sister via a Groupon purchase (remember, she couldn't get over the smell), so I paid nothing for these.  The package itself is 8.0 ounces and it's apparently calorie free for each serving of 4.0 ounces (or at least less than five calories, per government regulations); the entire package eaten together is ten calories.  It's also gluten free, kosher, soy free, vegan and vegetarian.  There's a whole lot of nothing going on here, if you choose to look at it that way.

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: Promax LS Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Protein Bar

I was sent some free samples of Promax bars a few months ago and I've done a really shoddy job making my way through the samples.  I've touched on some of them, but there are still three others sitting by waiting for me to review them.  So, here we are today as I take a look at one of those bars in this Promax LS Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Protein Bar review.  The bar itself is 2.36 ounces and packs in 240 calories and eighteen grams of protein.  It's made with Stevia, thus the lower sugar, and it's also gluten free, kosher and vegetarian.

Review: Good2Go Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Protein Bars

Some time back, I received several boxes of Good2Go bars as free samples for reviews.  I've hurriedly looked at a couple of flavors in prior reviews, but I've put aside the remaining two flavors for a while as I addressed other products.  Well, I'm back and now it's time to knock out these remaining two flavors of free samples.  So, here we are with this box of eight Good2Go Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Protein Bars.  Each bar in the box is 2.47 ounces and has 298 calories with eighteen grams of protein, so there's definitely some girth here.  It's also gluten fee, so it does have that going for it if that is something that you are looking for.

Review: Premier Protein Dark Chocolate Mint Bar

Today's review is of a product that I've had in my stock for quite some time.  I've been avoiding it for several reasons.  First, I've reviewed Premier Protein products before and while some of them have been okay, they've mostly been just blah.  Second, as the blog has aged, I've been steering away from hardcore protein bars because I've just lost interest.  Third (and last), I generally keep my distance from dark chocolate, as any reader that has been here more than once will know.  But, on a recent evening, the perfect storm hit and I knocked down all those barriers and decided to take a look at this Premier Protein Dark Chocolate Mint Bar that I received via an online signup for a free sample and then was delivered to me through our good, old United States Postal Service.  It was a new bar at the time and it clocks in at 2.5 ounces and is heavily packed in with 280 calories and thirty grams of protein.  It's also gluten free.

Review: Nature's Path Organic Qi'a Roasted Peanut Dark Chocolate Bar

I know some people might view this as odd, but I often find it kind of soothing and therapeutic to wander through the grocery store aimlessly just looking at all the products on the shelves.  You find new stuff, you see variety and it's a great way to pass the time as you definitely have to be in no hurry to get anything done.  I recently was doing that at my local Meijer when I stumbled upon something brand new in this Nature's Path Organic Qi'a Roasted Peanut Dark Chocolate Bar.  It's not my first Nature's Path review, but it is the first time I've seen one of these Qi'a bars.  So, I quickly snatched it up for about $1.50 and here we are.  The bar itself is 1.3 ounces and packs in 190 calories and five grams of protein.  It's also gluten free, organic, vegan and ALSO a superfood.  It's got tons and tons of stuff going on.

Review: Brookside Dark Chocolate Cherry With Pomegranate Flavor Fruit & Nut Bar

It's amazing to me how many products Kroger gets me to try for the first time because they give them away for free.  Usually, they give them away (and I review them) via their Free Friday Download promotion, but today's review of this Brookside Dark Chocolate Cherry With Pomegranate Flavor Fruit & Nut Bar was a freebie that Kroger was giving away just because.  Not tied to any particular promotion or anything...it was just free.  I like that.  So, I happily grabbed my freebie and that leads me to take a look at this 1.4 ounce bar.  Within that 1.4 ounces of gluten free fun (to be determined) is 180 calories and one gram of protein.

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: Don't Go Nuts Whitewater Chomp Nut Free Energy Bar

I was aimless strolling through my local Meijer recently (I'm not going to kid myself, I'm always aimless strolling) and I wandered through the nutrition bar aisle and noticed that there was an entirely new line of bars sitting on the shelf.  Curiosity piqued, I went in for a closer look and found this Don't Go Nuts Whitewater Chomp Nut Free Energy Bar on sale for roughly $1.50.  The world seems to be filled with people with allergies to something these days and in this case, this bar caters to those with nut allergies as it's nut free.  It's also gluten free, kosher and organic.  Packed into this 1.58 ounces are 180 calories and two grams of protein, although the website says there are three grams.  What a dilemma...packaging vs. website!
