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: 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.
