….Mushroom bites? Really? Mushrooms? Don’t be grossed out! They were actually pretty good. And I’m not really a mushroom fan… I tend to pick them out of my entrees or just leave them on the side. I went through a brief period where I loved mushrooms and then I had just one mushroom that was too squishy and that there […]

Health Warrior Chia Bar in Coconut, Acai Berry, and Chocolate Peanut Butter

LOADED with seeds, this one had a crunchy texture. It was a bit bland, with very mild chocolate flavor. I didn’t detect too […]

Chobani Flip Honey Low-Fat Yogurt with Banana
I love when I see new things in the store. It’s like a prize for my taste buds (and often a deficit in my wallet…). SO, buying my weekly stash of CHO, I found the Chobani Flip Honey Low-Fat Yogurt with Banana. SO is this not greek yogurt? GASP! :O It does say “low-fat” on the container, but there is […]

UNREAL 8 Chocolate Caramel Peanut Nougat Bar
A new line of products for me to try, UNREAL has supposedly “Unjunked” candy, and taken out the “bad” stuff like high fructose corn syrup, additives and hydrogenated oils. I got some free samples from the company asking me to try, and I happily obliged. A “healthier” spin on candy? Sure, why not? 🙂 Today’s review is of the UNREAL […]
