Review: Silk Tropical Pineapple Soy Yogurt

I've taken a look at a couple of Silk soy yogurt products here on the blog in the past and while I found the taste of soy yogurt to be somewhat odd, I was basically okay with those yogurts and gave them a positive rating.  A coupon and a new flavor led me to pick up another Silk product on a recent trip to Kroger and for $1.00 (before coupon), I was able to grab this cup of Silk Tropical Pineapple Soy Yogurt.  It's 5.3 ounces and has 140 calories and six grams of protein (plant-powered according to the website...seriously).  Being that it's soy yogurt, it's also dairy free (DUH).

Review: Good Greens Apple Crumb Soy Greek Yogurt Bar

It's been quite a while since I looked at a Good Greens product (over two years), but I had noticed recently that my local Marsh Supermarket had started carrying their bars.  I hadn't made any purchases because I thought I had tried all the flavors, but upon further review recently, I noticed that there were a couple that I hadn't tested out yet and that leads to today's review of this Good Greens Apple Crumb Soy Greek Yogurt Bar.  I was able to grab this one for $2.49 and it comes in at 1.76 ounces with 190 calories and ten grams of protein.  It's also dubbed as a "Wellness Bar" on the wrapper and I think that's a first for me.  As always with these Good Greens bars, it's powered by their Z52 Superfood Powder and I'll spare telling the long story of that that is again.  You can check out the website or my prior reviews if interested.  Anyway, the bar is also all natural, gluten free and vegan, so that's fun (or healthy) I suppose.

Review: Boca Original Chik'n Veggie Patties

I mentioned in my last Boca review that I had stayed away from Boca products on the blog for quite some time and I wasn't quite sure why.  Since I'm trying to work more of their products in to the rotation, today's review hits on one of their core products with my review of this box of Boca Original Chik'n Veggie Patties that I picked up on sale at Kroger for $3.00.  Each box contains four patties and each patty is 71 grams with 140 calories and eleven grams of protein.  Each patty is also worth four points on the Weight Watchers PointsPlus scale if you are into that type of thing.

Review: Boca Bruschetta Tomato Basil Parmesan Veggie Patties

In the history of this blog, I've touched on several veggie burgers but all of them up to this point have been MorningStar Farms products.  Today will be my first "adventure" into Boca Burgers territory as I take a look at this Boca Bruschetta Tomato Basil Parmesan Veggie Patties that I picked up as a box of four veggie burgers at Kroger for $3.00.  Each patty comes in at 71 grams and has 90 calories with a solid thirteen grams of protein.  It's also only two Weight Watchers points per serving.

Review: Genisoy Chocolate Fudge Brownie Protein Bar

To say I was appalled by last (and first) Genisoy review would be an understatement.  It was absolutely terrible and I ended up trashing the second half of the bar.  So, I was not exactly excited to dive into this review of the Genisoy Chocolate Fudge Brownie Protein Bar that I picked up in the same shopping trip to Kroger for $1.00.  This bar is 1.98 ounces and comes in at 210 calories and ten grams of protein.  It's obviously soy based as well.

Review: Purely Decadent Dairy Free Peanut Butter Zig Zag Frozen Dessert

I talked previously about my dairy free frozen dessert splurge, so I'll spare that story again.  What I will say is that I picked up this pint of Purely Decadent Dairy Free Peanut Butter Zig Zag Frozen Dessert at Kroger on sale for $3.00.  As learned in my last review, Purely Decadent comes from the same place as So Delicious dairy free products, so this gets added to that family of reviews.  Simple third grade math tells me their are four half-cup size servings in this pint and each serving comes in with 230 calories, half of which are fat.  So, despite the fact that this is dairy free, it certainly is not missing the fat content or calorie load compared to a dairy product.

Review: Genisoy Chunky Peanut Butter Fudge Energy Bar

I've been on a soy kick recently.  Actually, that's not true.  What is really happening is that I've made my way through most of the non-soy products in my stores, so the soy products are about all that is left for me to review.  It's because of this that I picked up this Genisoy Chunky Peanut Butter Fudge Energy Bar on sale at Kroger for $1.00 for today's review.  The bar itself is 1.98 ounces and has 220 calories with ten grams of protein.

Review: Silk Fruity & Creamy Strawberry Soy Yogurt

I'll fully admit, after my last Silk review, I was pretty much ready to mail in this review and just copy and paste the review into this review while only changing the name of the flavor since I expected that experience to pretty much mirror what I was expecting this Silk Fruity & Creamy Strawberry Soy Yogurt to be.  Ultimately, I decided I'd at least give it a shot at typing this out and well...you'll just have to read the review to find out.  This cup of dairy-free yogurt made with soymilk was 5.3 ounces and had 150 calories and six grams of protein.

Review: Silk Fruity & Creamy Blueberry Soy Yogurt

I'll be the first to admit, soy beans and yogurt do not seem like the ideal match, especially when it goes that extra mile to be dairy-free.  Actually, I'm not sure that sounds appetizing at all and I haven't had the best luck with soy yogurts on this blog before, but I was ready to try Silk's "yogurt alternative made with soy milk" when I grabbed this 5.3 ounce container of Silk Fruity & Creamy Blueberry Soy Yogurt at Kroger for $1.00.  Each cup is 140 calories and has six grams of protein.

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: Purely Decadent Dairy Free Turtle Trails Frozen Dessert

Sometimes sales will cause me to do crazy things.  For example, recent sales at Kroger have caused me to go on a dairy free dessert run and pick up several pints of frozen desserts that are made with soy milk.  Today's review is one of those sale splurge purchases as I picked up this pint of Purely Decadent Dairy Free Turtle Trails Frozen Dessert on sale for $3.00.  I guess I wasn't paying attention when I bought this, but after reviewing that linked website, I learned that this Purely Decadent product comes from the same manufacturer as some of the So Delicious products that I've reviewed on the blog previously.  Each pint contains the usual four half-cup servings and in this instance, it's a dairy-free 180 calories per serving.

Review: SOYJOY Berry Baked Whole Soy & Fruit Bar

I'll dispense with the ridiculous play on words introduction that I used in my last SOYJOY post and just get right to it.  I've had some success with SOYJOY products before, despite the fact that the general idea of them seems so disgusting.  A soy snack bar?  So weird.  Anyway, with those positive experiences in mind, I was ready to dive into this SOYJOY Berry Baked Whole Soy & Fruit Bar that I picked up on sale at Marsh for $1.00.  The bar itself is 1.05 ounces and has 130 calories and four grams of protein.

Review: SOYJOY Dark Chocolate Cherry Baked Whole Soy & Fruit Bar

When some people here the word soy, it certainly does not bring them joy.  For me, it's not so bad.  I sometimes get joy from soy and I've done that before in some of my SOYJOY reviews.  Okay, okay...I know that was corny, lame, awful or whatever other adjective you want to use to describe that opening.  I should be ashamed of something like that, but since I have no shame, I'm okay with it.  Shamelessness aside, I picked up this new SOYJOY Dark Chocolate Cherry Baked Whole Soy & Fruit Bar on sale at my local Marsh for $1.00 and each bar is 1.05 ounces with 140 calories and five grams of protein.

Review: SOYJOY Cranberry Baked Whole Soy & Fruit Bar

It's been a while since I've reviewed a SOYJOY bar (early last fall to be precise).  I thought I had covered all the flavors in my stores (minus Pineapple; not going to even attempt that one), but then this SOYJOY Cranberry Baked Whole Soy & Fruit Bar popped up on me during a recent visit to my local Marsh.  This is a new flavor, so I had never had it, thus I wanted to try it and when I saw it was on sale for $0.99, I was even more pleased.  The bar itself is all natural and consists of 140 calories and four grams of protein packed into 1.05 ounces of joy.  Like my plan on words there?  Yeah, I didn't figure you would...I think I'm more clever than I actually am most of the time.  Anyway, onto the review...

Review: WholeSoy & Co. Blueberry Soy Yogurt

In my first WholeSoy & Co. review of their soy yogurt, I was struck by how strange the whole idea and taste of soy yogurt was.  Still, I gave it a positive review because while I fully knew it was weird, it was at least edible.  So, heading into this second review of one of their products with this WholeSoy & Co. Blueberry Soy Yogurt, I was expecting more oddness, but I was at least willing to give it a chance.  Being that blueberries have got to be my favorite type of fruit flavoring for yogurts, I was expecting a little bit more out of this review than I was out of the last review.  Like the last one, I picked this up at Kroger for $1.00 and it is six ounces with 150 calories and six grams of protein.  It's also dairy free, gluten free, organic and blah, blah, blah.

Review: MorningStar Farms Hickory BBQ Riblets

I've done several MorningStar Farms reviews and while I've often found their products to be somewhat tasty, I've often given them negative reviews because of their cost.  In this review of the MorningStar Farms Hickory BBQ Riblets, I'm going to focus only on the flavor of these and just disregard the cost.  What may be expensive/inexpensive to me may be the opposite for you, the reader, so I'm just going forget about that.  That said, I did pick these up at Marsh for $3.99 on sale and each box contains two riblets that come in at roughly five ounces per riblet with 210 calories and sixteen grams of protein each.

Review: WholeSoy & Co. Raspberry Soy Yogurt

If you stop and think about it, the amount of uses that people find for soy beans is truly amazing.  Meat fillers, veggie products, etc.  I've been spending a lot of time in the organic section at my store recently for some reason and when I was going through looking at the yogurt products, I encountered this WholeSoy & Co. Raspberry Soy Yogurt.  Soy yogurt?  Well, this was a first for me.  Upon further examination,  I found out that not only was this a soy yogurt, but it was also a yogurt that was dairy free.  Dairy free yogurt?  Now I've heard it all.  My continuing education notwithstanding, the organic food section in question was located at my local Kroger where I picked up this six ounce single serving cup of yogurt on sale for $1.00.  It's 170 calories and has six grams of protein.  To continue it's uniqueness, it's also gluten free, vegan and a Non-GMO product.

Review: SOYJOY Apple Walnut Baked Soy & Fruit Bar

It's funny how your entire perception of a product can change.  In the past, I was terrified of SOYJOY products.  In my reviews for this blog, I've found that I like their products and have been anxious to try out new flavors.  It's that urge that led me to pick up another flavor of their baked soy & fruit bars with this Apple Walnut version and give it a try for the blog.  I picked it up at Marsh for $1.00 and it comes it at 1.05 ounces with 140 calories and four grams of protein.

Review: SOYJOY Strawberry Baked Soy & Fruit Bar

In my first SOYJOY product review of the blueberry bar, I admitted that I went in to the review terrified because I had no idea how it would turn out.  The fact that I was eating a soy bar and a baked one at that, kind of made me skeptical of how everything would turn out.  Once I finished though, I was pleasantly surprised and actually enjoyed the bar.  So with that, I head into this second review without any trepidation and actually, I've built up some expectations for this Strawberry flavored bar (good ones) that I'm hoping can be met.  Quite a change, eh?  Anyway, I picked this one up at Meijer for $1.00 and it is 1.05 ounces with 130 calories and four grams of protein.

Review: SOYJOY Blueberry Baked Soy & Fruit Bar

As I start this review, I've got to admit that I was terrified to try this bar.  A "health" bar made of soybeans and fruit?  Ugh, not exactly a recipe for taste success in my mind, but I'm willing to try just about anything, even stuff I hate like bananas.  So, I picked up this Blueberry Baked Soy & Fruit Bar on sale at Meijer for $1.00, crossed my fingers and hoped for the best.  The bar itself weighs 1.05 ounces and has 140 calories and four grams of protein.  It's also all natural, so that's re-assuring for people that prefer natural foods.  That's clearly not the case for me with all the processed garbage that I eat for this blog, but I know it is for others, so there you go.
