Review: Chobani flip Sriracha Mango Greek Yogurt

I mentioned in my most recent Chobani review that there were some peculiar flavors jumping off the shelves at me at the store.  Peculiar because they just seemed like odd combinations.  Well, today's container of this Chobani flip Sriracha Mango Greek Yogurt is another one of those seemingly peculiar flavor combinations.  Sweet and spicy or sweet and salty or all of the above...I'm not quite sure.  What I do know is Sriracha is spicy/hot and it seems odd to mix it with sweet mangoes.  What I also know is that this container is 5.3 ounces and has 190 calories and twelve grams of protein packed into it.  It's also all natural, kosher and vegetarian.  I think this one set me back about $1.25 at Kroger.

Review: Chobani Simply 100 Crunch Mango Cone Crisp Greek Yogurt

So here we go.  The empire of Chobani continues to expand.  I've mentioned it before, but it never ceases to amaze me...when I started this blog, Chobani was a cute little upstart.  In that 4+ years, they've become a powerhouse with multiple product lines spanning the yogurt section of the refrigerator at the grocery store.  It's also helped make Greek yogurt mainstream and there's so much Greek yogurt out there now compared to four years ago that it's insane when I really step back and think about it.  Today's Chobani Simply 100 Crunch Mango Cone Crisp Greek Yogurt is the product of one of those new product lines.  It's a smallish 4.2 ounces and has 100 calories and ten grams of protein.  As with all Chobani products, it's also all natural.

Review: That's it. Apple + Mango Bar

I keep grabbing these bars for reviews and each time I grab one, I think to myself "That's it.  That's got to be the end of these bars."  But, it never is it (at least not yet) and I've still got several of these left to review.  And yes, that was definitely in the top ten for the lamest introductory paragraphs that I've ever written for this blog and there's been over one thousand of them.  So, today I embark on this That's it. Apple + Mango Bar that I received via a free sample, just like the others.  This bar clocks in at 1.2 ounces and packed within that are 100 calories and zero grams of protein (LOL).  This two ingredient bar is also all natural, gluten free, kosher, raw and vegan.

Review: Pure Protein Tropical Fruit Macadamia Nut Fruit & Nut Bar

I've spent a pretty fair amount of time looking at Pure Protein bars on this blog but it has been over eighteen months since I've taken on a review.  So when I was absentmindedly bumbling my way through Kroger, I was somewhat surprised to see another new flavor resting on the shelves of the nutrition bar section of the store.  Once I got over my mild surprise, I was sure to grab a couple of the new flavors and that leads me to today's review of this Pure Protein Tropical Fruit Macadamia Nut Fruit & Nut Bar that set me back a whole $1.00.  It's 1.86 ounces and has 200 calories that are PACKED with eighteen grams of protein (it is a high protein bar after all).  It's also gluten free if that is part of your diet.

Review: Slow Food For Fast Lives Indian Bar

Regular readers of the blog may have noticed that I'm not posting as frequently anymore.  This is due to the fact that my real life has led me to take another job and I haven't had as much time to dedicate to the blog and have even had thoughts about walking away entirely.  But, those thoughts have not come to fruition because of a few reasons.  First, I kind of like the income that I derive from the blog and I'd probably miss that nice little "bonus" that I get each month.  Second, I sometimes get contacted by readers that have nothing but the nicest things to say (Hi Tracey P.!) and I always appreciate that and those kind words keep me chugging along.  Third, I also sometimes receive offers of new (and free!) products to try out and as a guy that loves free stuff, as I've mentioned countless times before, I love getting those opportunities.  It's one of those opportunities that leads me to the source of today's review as I take a look at this Slow Food For Fast Lives Indian Bar.  This bar is 1.4 ounces, has 180 calories, five grams of protein and is also, all natural, gluten free and vegan.

Review: Elisabeth Hasselbeck's NoGii Nuts About Tropical Fruit No Gluten Paleo Bar

Elisabeth Hasselbeck is quite the polarizing character.  Survivor, The View, etc.  It would only be natural that someone that polarizing would make a nutrition bar, right?  Okay, maybe that isn't the case.  However you feel about her, I was at least interested to try out another product, no matter who was associated with it and that led me to make this purchase of an Elisabeth Hasselbeck's NoGii Nuts About Tropical Fruit No Gluten Paleo Bar that I picked up at Marsh for $2.29.  The bar itself is 1.5 ounces and consists of 190 calories and four grams of protein.  It's also gluten free, so it's got another tick in the health column in addition to being paleo (natural).

Review: Yoplait Greek 100 Tropical Fruit Yogurt

After the winter that we've had in the Midwest, I've often been thinking about moving to the tropics.  It's been horrible and it certainly didn't make it any easier when I took a brief interlude to Cancun for a few days and then had to come back to a foot of fresh snow.  Not fun.  So, adding another review to my Yoplait review catalog fits right along with me thinking about moving to the tropics as I take a look at this 5.3 ounce single serving cup of Yoplait Greek 100 Tropical Fruit Yogurt that I was able to pick up on sale at Kroger for $1.00.  Given the name, it should come as no surprise that this has 100 calories and it also comes with ten grams of protein.  For those of you that are Weight Watchers out there, this one is worth two points on the PointsPlus scale.

Review: Dannon Oikos Fruit on the Bottom Apricot Mango Greek Yogurt

I mentioned in two prior Dannon Oikos reviews that I went on a purchase binge at my local Marsh and purchased a trio of Oikos products for review.  The first two reviews were of the Traditional Greek yogurt variety, but today's is of the "Fruit on the Bottom" variety, so it's a little different.  Anyway, I grabbed this single serving cup of Dannon Oikos Fruit on the Bottom Apricot Mango Greek Yogurt at the same sale price of $1.00 just like the others and each cup is 5.3 ounces with 130 calories and twelve grams of protein.  It's also non-fat, so that's fun.

Review: Muller Greek Corner Lowfat Yogurt with Mango

Like the last Muller review that I did, I've stayed away from certain flavors of theirs because I honestly don't know what they are.  Today's review of this Muller Greek Corner Lowfat Yogurt with Mango is another one of those examples.  Now, I know I've had mango before in  my life but prior to this, I honestly could not tell you what it tasted like.  That uncertainty kept me away, but I'm a big boy, so I guess it's time that I start trying different things in life (one of the primary reasons I started this blog).  Anyway, I picked up this dual-compartmented container of Greek yogurt on sale at Kroger for $1.00.  It's 5.3 ounces and has 150 calories and nine grams of protein.

Review: Fruttare Mango Ice Bars

It seems like every time I log into one of my coupon apps (store-specific or otherwise) on my iPhone, there is always a coupon for Fruttare bars.  It's quite obvious that these guys are spreading the word far and wide about their products as they've just been introduced this past year and spreading that word has led to several reviews on this blog.  Another one of those special coupons leads me to today's review of this box of six Fruttare Mango Ice Bars that I picked up for $2.99 at Kroger with one of those sale coupons.  Each bar itself is 2.0 fluid ounces and an economical 60 calories.
