Review: Kellogg's Special K Red Velvet Pastry Crisps

I'll admit that I have a love/hate relationship with products that are red velvet flavored and it's because of no real reason other than my stupidity.  For the longest time, I though red velvet was its own thing.  Not until later in life, while watching a Bobby Flay show on the Food Network, did I learn that red velvet is basically just chocolate dyed red.  Somehow, I felt cheated by that.  Yep, I'm a moron.  Anyway, Kellogg's Special K has decided to add to their review history on this blog with another variation flavor of their Pasty Crisps line with this box of Kellogg's Special K Red Velvet Pastry Crisps that I was able to pick up on a very nice sale at Kroger for $1.99.  Each box contains five packages of two crisps and each bar clocks in at 0.88 ounces with 100 calories and one gram of protein.

Review: Kellogg's Special K Berry Medley Bars

Recently I took a look at one of the new products that Kellogg's Special K had rolled out in their snack bars line and since it seems as if they rolled out their new products in a pair, I'm now going to take a look at these Kellogg's Special K Berry Medley Bars.  I picked these up on sale at Marsh for $1.99 and each box contains six bars that weigh in at a tiny 0.88 ounces and has a minimal 100 calories with two grams of protein (they are a snack bar after all).  Since this is pretty much the definition of a process and manufactured food, there's no sorts of all natural or anything tag lines to throw on here, which is kind of funny.  Still, that doesn't bother me one bit because I'm the same guy that willing throws candy, cookies, ice cream and beer into my body on a fairly regular basis, so I'm not exactly the bastion of health...I just sometimes eat healthy foods.

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: Kellogg's Special K Divine Fudge Brownies

So here we go again with Kellogg's Special K.  I already took a look at a different new version of these Special K brownies, but since I seemingly buy everything in pairs, today's review is a look at the newly released Kellogg's Special K Divine Fudge Brownies that I picked up for the same $2.49 price as the previous box at Kroger.  Like last time, Kellogg's has oddly (pun intended) decided to put SEVEN of these brownies in a box as opposed to a typical six, eight or ten.  Each brownie in the box is a diminutive 0.7 ounces and packs 80 calories with less than one gram of protein.

Review: Kellogg's Special K Heavenly Caramel Brownies

Every time I write a new Kellogg's review, it seems like the introductory paragraph is always the same.  I harp on how Kellogg's continues to roll out products constantly and today's review is no different as they are rolling out ANOTHER new product that really is only a mild derivation from the products that they've put out before.  Still, this box of seven Kellogg's Special K Heavenly Caramel Brownies looked appealing enough that I was willing to pick them up on sale at Kroger for $2.49.  Not sure why they chose to put seven in a box instead of an even number like most products, but I can get down with the oddness I suppose.  Anyway, these brownies are quite tiny as they come in at a very small 0.7 ounces and pack only 80 calories and less than one gram of protein.

Review: Kellogg's Special K Blondie Brownie Bites

I've reviewed my fair share of healthy and unhealthy foods on this blog and usually it is fairly easy to determine which of those categories a particular food product falls into.  The source of today's review leaves me kind of torn.  On one hand, I've looked at several Special K products in the past and those typically fall into the healthy category.  But, when you look at the product name of this Kellogg's Special K Blondie Brownie Bites, nothing about it says healthy and that's why I can't figure out how to group it.  So, I guess I won't worry about it and will just treat it as a review and that's it.  Not sure why I felt the need to describe my internal conflict there, but hey, it's my blog and my show I suppose.  Anyway, I picked up this box for $2.99 at Marsh.  Each box contains six pouches that come in at 0.74 ounces per pouch and each pouch has 100 calories.

Review: Kellogg's Nutri-Grain Fruit & Oat Harvest Country Strawberry Bars

I touched on these "crazy" Nutri-Grain new products in my last review of these Harvest bars where they basically take their typical Nutri-Grain bar, turn it inside-out and then make it more "Earthy" by sprinkling some grains on the top of the bar.  Still, I like reviewing new products (and making money), so that leads me to today's review of this Kellogg's Nutri-Grain Fruit & Oat Harvest Country Strawberry Bars.  I picked up a box of five of these at Meijer for $3.00 on sale.  Each bar in the box weighs in at 1.76 ounces and has 180 calories with four grams of protein.

Review: Kellogg's Special K Butter Popcorn Chips

I've drilled on the Kellogg's Special K chips line many times before and today's review is of a product that I think may have been out for a while, but it is "NEW" because of the inclusion of real butter taste (or so they say).  Anyway, I picked up this box of Kellogg's Special K Butter Popcorn Chips at Kroger on sale for $2.99 and each box weighs in 4.5 ounces and has about 4.5 servings per box (about 28 chips) at 120 calories a serving.  Basically that means that this is a low calorie and "guilt free" (or less guilt) type of snack.

Review: Kellogg's Nutri-Grain Strawberry Greek Yogurt Cereal Bars

With the plethora of Greek yogurt products that are hitting the market at breakneck speed, I think I might be missing something in not taking advantage of this craze.  So, I've decided that I'm going to add an "is" to the end of my last name (sorry, not going to share that one) just so that I can be part of the craze too.  Annoying diatribe aside, today's review adds to my review catalog with Kellogg's foray into this craze with this review of the box of eight Kellogg's Nutri-Grain Strawberry Greek Yogurt Cereal Bars that I picked up on sale at Meijer for $3.00.  Each bar in the box is 1.3 ounces and has 130 calories and two grams of protein.

Review: Kellogg's Nutri-Grain Fruit & Oat Harvest Blueberry Bliss Bars

It must be new product season for Kellogg's.  Actually, new product season never ends for manufacturers that large, so I guess the subject of today's review is just one more variation of products rolling off the assembly line to add to the enormous Kellogg's review catalog.  I was able to pick up this box of five Kellogg's Nutri-Grain Fruit & Oat Harvest Blueberry Bliss Bars on sale at Meijer for $2.99 and each bar is 1.76 ounces with 180 calories and four grams of protein.

Review: Kellogg's Special K Moments Dreamy Coconut Indulgent Snack Bites

I touched on these new Indulgent Snack Bites in a prior review and since I do everything in pairs, I figured today was as good of a day as any to knock out another Kellogg's Special K review by taking a look at this box of eight Kellogg's Special K Moments Dreamy Coconut Indulgent Snack Bites that I was able to pick up in the same sale as the previous box at Meijer for $2.50.  Each bite is 0.56 ounces and comes in a very belt friendly 70 calories per bite.  I won't even bother to touch on the protein total, because honestly, it's not really worth it with a product like this.

Review: Kellogg's Special K Greek Yogurt & Fruit Protein Granola Bars

I mentioned in a previous Special K review that I just love it when Kellogg's sneaks out new bars into the market.  I especially love it when they try to take advantage of the Greek yogurt craze and venture out into that realm with this Kellogg's Special K Greek Yogurt & Fruit Protein Granola Bars box of five bars that I was able to pick up on sale at Marsh for $1.99.  Each bar is 0.95 ounces and has 110 calories with four grams of protein...in a protein bar, although it is a snack bar.

Review: Kellogg's Special K Moments Caramel Pretzel Bliss Indulgent Snack Bites

I've mentioned it many times before, but I'll mention it again...I love the mega conglomerate food producing machine.  Often, they just release different flavors of their same products.  Occasionally, they'll release an entirely new product line and that's what Kellogg's did today as I tack up a new product category to their review catalog with this review of the new Kellogg's Special K Moments Caramel Pretzel Bliss Indulgent Snack Bites that I was able to pick up on sale for $2.50 at Meijer.  Each box contains eight 0.56 ounces bites and each bite is an affordable 70 calories.

Review: Kellogg's Special K Protein Almond Honey Oat Granola Bars

The endless product manufacturing engine that is Kellogg's and it's Special K brand strikes again!  I was in my local Marsh Supermarket recently and upon perusing the granola bar aisle, I saw that Special K had put out a couple more flavor variations of their Special K Protein line that I've touched on before.  Always looking for new content, I grabbed a box of five of these Kellogg's Special K Protein Almond Honey Oat Granola Bars off the shelf in a sale event at a cost of $1.99.  Each bar in the box is 0.95 ounces and 110 calories with four grams of protein.  Not sure how four grams of protein enables them to call this a protein bar, but to each their own I suppose.

Review: Kellogg's Special K Nourish Dark Chocolate Nut Delight Bar

With each passing day, it amuses me even more that the mainstream companies are entering the foray of the "nutrition" bar market.  Kellogg's Special K has several bars already out there that I've hit on in reviews, but they've started pushing their "Nourish" line of products and by expanding upon that line, they've introduced this Kellogg's Special K Nourish Dark Chocolate Nut Delight Bar that I picked up at Kroger for $1.25.  It checks in at 1.58 ounces with 180 calories and eight grams of protein.

Review: Kellogg's Special K Chili Lime Cracker Chips

Every few months Kellogg's Special K sneaks out a new flavor variety of it's cracker chips for me to add to the product review catalog.  I was in Walmart the other day picking up some other things and as I was meandering through the grocery section, I noticed that Special K had done it again by sneaking out this box of Kellogg's Special K Chili Lime Cracker Chips as a new product offering.  I was able to get this 4.0 ounce box for $3.00 and each box contains about 3.5 servings of cracker chips with each serving (about 27 chips) having about 110 calories.

Review: Kellogg's Special K Nourish Lemon Twist Bar

I, like most people, enjoy some nourishment from time-to-time so that makes the subject of today's review right up my alley.  My gosh...I think my introductions are getting cheesier with each passing day, but sometimes it's tough to come up with something fresh for each individual post.  So, I'll be adding to my Kellogg's Special K review catalog with today's review of this Kellogg's Special K Nourish Lemon Twist Bar.  I picked this one up at Kroger for $1.33 and the bar itself is 1.58 ounces with 160 calories and eight grams of protein.

Review: Kellogg's Nutri-Grain Toffee Crunch Chocolatey Toffee Granola Bars

I have an admission to make...I love toffee and I don't know why.  For some reason, any time that I'm near toffee, I can't keep my hands off of it, especially when that toffee is mixed with chocolate.  Knowing that, diving into another Kellogg's Nutri-Grain review with today's new product review of these Kellogg's Nutri-Grain Toffee Crunch Chocolatey Toffee Granola Bars would seem to be right up my alley.  I picked up this box of ten bars (five pouches with two bars each actually) on sale at Meijer for $3.00.  Each pouch is a combined 1.48 ounces with 190 calories and three grams of protein with 25% of your daily fiber value.  I'll leave it up you if you want to do the math to come up with the per bar values.

Review: MorningStar Farms Veggie Bacon Strips

I think I've mentioned once or twice over the course of this year that I have happened upon giving up eating meat.  No particular reason for doing it, but I'm just challenging myself to see how long I can last.  So far, so good.  Being that I've given up eating meat, I've been trying to get out and give some meat substitute products a shot and my collection of MorningStar Farms reviews helps me meet those objectives.  Today's review is the MorningStar Farms faux version of the most overrated meat there is.  Yep, I just said it...bacon is OVERRATED.  Don't get me wrong, when I ate meat, I enjoyed bacon, but I think it gets way more love than it deserves.  Regardless, I picked up this box of MorningStar Farms Veggie Bacon Strips on sale at Kroger for $2.99 and each box is 5.25 ounces and contains about twenty (sorry, I didn't count) strips of "bacon" and each strip is 30 calories with a lonely gram of protein.

Review: Kellogg's Special K Chocolatey Strawberry Cereal Bars

New product season for Kellogg's Special K continues again (does it ever really end?) and once again, I took the "NEW" bait hook, line and sinker like the fool that I am in order to add to my review archive.  This box of six Kellogg's Special K Chocolatey Strawberry Cereal Bars was picked up at Marsh on sale for $2.99 and each bar in the box is 0.81 ounces and 90 calories.  The protein level is virtually non-existent as Kellogg's has chosen to employ the less than operator ("<") on the wrapper, meaning there is less than one gram.  Oh boy...
