One of the great things about reading blogs is learning about different products that we didn't even know existed. Sometimes just a mere mention of something is enough to intrigue us and we ended up finding something that becomes a favorite of ours!
We hope that by reading our blog that you find new products that you end up enjoying too!
This brings us to SNACKS! Who doesn't love a new snack. Here are a few new things that I've tried over the past several weeks and thought I would share.
So here are our Friday Five!
1. The Carrot Cake Clif bar is simply yummy! This was my breakfast one day with a glass of Vanilla Almond Milk. I will definitely be picking up a few more of these next time I go to the store!
2. I just discovered the Chocolate Peppermint Stick Lara bar right after Christmas. I love Peppermint flavored stuff during the holidays and probably would have had a lot more of them if I had found them earlier in December. I thought maybe they were seasonal bars, but I am still finding them in the stores. I guess if there is still snow on the ground in some places then it is still okay to eat peppermint stuff, right? Sorry there is no picture of the bar, but they are really a chewy chocolate bar. almost like a brownie!
3. The Peanut Honey Pretzel Luna Bar: I found this to be a little dry. It has peanut butter chips in it but that didn't make it as creamy as I was hoping for. I think the pretzels contributed a bit to the dry taste as well. I'm gonna say I probably won't buy this Luna bar again.
4. This White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Peak Bar was a total surprise to me. I had stopped by Aldi the other day to pick up something and I saw these bars at the check out line. Does the packaging look familiar? I thought it resembled a Clif bar so I decided to give it a try. I guess it was the Aldi brand of Clif bar and it was only 79 cents. I ate it for lunch that same day and it held me through dinner time without feeling hungry. After having an actual White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cliff bar the following day, I could tell that the Cliff bar brand was a little bit sweeter ( and I preferred it better). But if I end up going to Aldi again, I wouldn't be opposed to picking up another one!
5. This Planters Cherry Chocolate Peanut butter was also a new discovery. It had a hint of cherry flavoring and tiny pieces of chocolate in it without being overly sweet. I thought it was rather good, but I admit I am a bit of a peanut butter snob and nothing will ever be as good as my Honey Roasted Peter Pan Creamy Peanut Butter. The Planters Cherry Chocolate is a nice treat, but I wont stop buying my Honey Roasted Peter Pan.
I know it's a "Friday Five" but I have 2 more for good measure!
6. I have already voiced my opinion on the Vanilla and Chocolate Honey Stinger Waffles. You can read that
HERE. I recently found a Strawberry Waffle and thought I would try it. Since the Vanilla and Chocolate waffles were colored accordingly, I fully expected my Strawberry waffle to be pink. It wasn't pink, but that had no bearing on the flavor. it was yummy! This is something that I will buy again. Actually I often crave the Honey Stingers after a run!
7. I bought this Cinnamon Coffee Cake Kashi Go Lean Bar because they were on sale at my local grocery store for $1 a bar. I had never had a Kashi Go lean bar so this was a first for me. I did take a bite out of this bar before I took the picture, but the actual size of the bar wasn't even half the size of the package. The bar was a little harder than I was expecting and the flavor was only okay. I can say for sure I won't buy this bar again.
So there ya have it. Out of seven products, maybe one or two of these ( or all of them) are new to you. Maybe you will have found a favorite, or maybe you now know a products you won't waste your time or money on!
What do you think of any of these products? Are there any you would want to try?
