Review: South Beach Diet Fudgy Chocolate Mint Snack Bars

I typically stay away from South Beach Diet bars because they are so expensive, but every now and then, there's a coupon that comes through one of my coupon apps on my phone that makes it reasonable to purchase a box of these bars and do a review.  A $3.00 off coupon recently came through my Kroger app and that led me to pick up this box of six (one bonus bar!) South Beach Diet Fudgy Chocolate Mint Snack Bars at Kroger for $2.99 after coupon.  Each bar in this box is a somewhat small-sized 0.98 ounces and comes in with 100 calories and six grams of protein.

Review: South Beach Diet Chocolate Truffle 100 Calorie Smoothies

I mentioned in my last South Beach Diet product review that I found a diamond in the rough when I found that product hiding at The Dollar Tree where I could steal it for the obvious dollar.  Along with that box of bars, I was able to find a four pack of this South Beach Diet Chocolate Truffle 100 Calorie Smoothies also on sale for the unsurprising $1.00.  Each bottle in this four pack is 8.0 ounces and obviously has 100 calories.  Along with that are six grams of protein and 45% less sugar than the typical chocolate smoothie, so this is clearly a diet product as the product name would imply.

Review: South Beach Diet Whipped Chocolate Almond Snack Bars

I've mentioned countless times on this blog that one of my strange, quirky and favorite past times is trolling The Dollar Tree to see what kind of random stuff I can find.  It's mostly just junk, but every now and then, something will pop up that is actually a viable purchase.  As it relates to today's review, that is just the case as I was able to pick up this box of five South Beach Diet Whipped Chocolate Almond Snack Bars on sale for the unsurprising $1.00 to add to my South Beach Diet review collection.  Each bar in the box is 0.98 ounces and has 100 calories and six grams of protein.

Review: South Beach Diet Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Meal Bars

Freebies and coupons lead me to make a lot of impulse purchases.  I've mentioned before that Kroger has a Free Friday Download via their smartphone coupon app, so on a recent Friday, they offered up the subject of today's review with this box of five South Beach Diet Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Meal Bars that I was able to pick up to add to my growing South Beach Diet review collection.  Each bar in the box weighs in at 1.76 ounces and has 180 calories with twelve grams of protein.  In terms of sheer size, I think you could definitely classify this as a meal bar like South Beach Diet is doing.

Review: South Beach Diet Good to Go Peanut Butter Cereal Bars

I’ve never been to South Beach in Miami, but I think I’ve made the joke before that it must be so much of a walking meat market that people have actually created a diet bearing its name so that they will look sexy parading themselves up and down the beach.  I live in Indiana and if you aren’t aware, we don’t have a lot of beaches, so having six pack abs is not much of a priority for me.  That said, eating (and snacking) are priorities for me, so that leads me to today’s review of these South Beach Diet Good to Go Peanut Butter Cereal Bars.  I picked up a box of five of these for $2.99 (before the coupon on the front of the box) at Kroger and each bar is 1.23 ounces with 140 calories and a surprising nine grams of protein.  This Peanut Butter flavor is tagged as a “New” flavor, which I’m not sure how that is possible since it is such a basic flavor, but I’ll play along.

Review: South Beach Diet Good to Go Gluten-Free Dark Chocolate Bars

When I think of South Beach, I think of hard bodies, parties and attractive people.  I certainly don't think about diets, but apparently in order to have a hard body, party and be attractive, people need to constantly diet in order to be able to fit the bill.  With that said, I was perusing through my local Meijer recently when I saw a new flavor of South Beach Diet bars to add to my review catalog with this box of five South Beach Diet Good to Go Gluten-Free Dark Chocolate Bars that I picked up on sale for $2.99.  Each bar is 1.19 ounces and has 120 calories and six grams of protein.  They are also gluten free, so that lack of gluten will help everyone attain that hard body that they are looking for.

Review: South Beach Diet Good to Go Cinnamon Raisin Bar

These South Beach Diet bars are something that I've seen in the store many times but have always stayed away from because I've always considered them a fad and also because they were ridiculously expensive.  Okay, I'm kidding myself...I don't care about the fad part...I just didn't want to pay for something that I deemed as expensive.  That said, on a recent trip to Meijer, they had a box of five of these South Beach Diet Good to Go Cinnamon Raisin Bars marked down to $1.99 and believing that to be an excellent price, I knew I had to grab the box off the shelf for my first try at one of their bars.  Each bar in the box is 1.23 ounces and 130 calories with nine grams of protein and three grams of fiber.  It has no artificial flavors or sweeteners and  is also made of whole grains, so it's got all that health kick going for it.  It's also got a new and improved taste, which means nothing to me since I've never had the old taste, but if they are going to advertise it, I'd assume that it is a good thing.  Another thing about these bars (and the diet) is that they are built on the principle of "Strategic Snacking", which means that you are supposed to use these as well-timed snacks to keep you energized and satisfied while on the run.  I wasn't on the run, but I was looking to get satisfied (as always), so one I go with the review...
