About Time Brand Protein Shake-Just add Water-Birthday Cake Flavor

I found this at the local Drug Emporium-Vitamins Plus. They also had chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry.



























I would probably not buy this again. I think I ruined it though by adding almond milk. I should have just added water, it would have tasted better. I may try it again one day with just water, but I wasn't overly impressed.

Product Review-Dixie Diner Carb Counters Ready To Eat Protein Power Brownie

I tried these "brownies" from netrition. I have really liked products from Dixie Diner before so I was expecting a lot. These don't taste anything like a brownie, nor have the consistency of one. They are pretty dry and hard. They have a weird taste, kind of like rasins or prunes. I didn't like them at all. I will not buy them again. I give them a 1 out of 5.


"Dixie Diner
Carb Counters Ready-to-Eat Protein Power Brownie

Now you can enjoy scrumptious, rich, and moist brownies anywhere, anytime; for lunch or munch. A brownie two pack ready-to-eat with that rich, chocolaty taste we all crave so much, plus 6 grams of pure protein and 8 grams of soluble fiber to satisfy those pesky hunger pangs. For a change, try shaking a little water on top and zapping them in the microwave for just a few seconds. They'll be ooey gooey, warm & good! 3 net carbs per brownie. Made with real chocolate, quality whey protein and flaxmeal, too."

Walden Farms Apricot Fruit Spread

I bought this to try in a pork chop glaze my friend at LCF had tried. She used peach preserves, but I really didn't want to mess with the extra carbs or sugar alcohols since I do total carbs instead of net. I tasted it just by itself and was pleasantly surprised at the taste and texture. I had gotten strawberry years ago and it was like a hard gelatin substance and I didn't like it. This had the texture of an apple butter and did taste like apricot, very sweet. I like it and am now inclined to try other flavors. It would be great on a one minute muffin.

Got a Keurig!

I got a Keurig coffee maker for Christmas. It's awesome! I got a sample pack of different flavors of coffee's so I thought I would keep track of it here. I got the single cup mini brewer in red. It looks exactly like the one above. These are the flavors I got in the sample pack:
Caribou blend



The Caribou blend was ok. Nothing spectacular about it. I'm writing the review a week later and I hardly remember it, so probably not something I would buy again. It didn't Wow! me.









The Green Mountain Nantucket flavor is awesome on the other hand. I have a huge box of that, it's all I have left, but I'm not dissapointed. It has this light, fresh, carmel type aroma and it's not acidic at all. This is a very good flavor. It's not too overly heavy, a medium roast.



Timothy's decaf colombian-This was ok, one of the only flavors I had left so I tried it. I prefer caf vs. decaf, it was pretty light on flavor. So far I don't particularly care for the Timothy's brand.









Diedrich coffee french roast blend-Tried yesterday, not acidic at all, very good flavor and bold, robust flavor.










Newmans own extra bold special blend-This is very good. It's a very heavy, dark and bold coffee, just as the name suggest. It definately woke me up, but it was very good. I am out of sweetener so I drank it black. It was one of the better dark bold coffees I have tasted. I still like Deidrich french roast the best so far. The earl grey tea is giving all of them a run for their money though.

Timothys nicaraguan fair trade organic-tried this one this morning. It's good, but acidic, a little more acidic than I like in coffee. Probably wouldn't buy it again.











Tully's kona blend-This one is pretty strong, a little acidic, kind of reminds me of Timothys nicaraguan fair trade organic blend, but not as bad. It has a kind of nutty, floral after taste. It's not bad, quite enjoying it black right now. *update* The first few sips were ok, after that it got bad. It had a really bad after taste and the more I tried to drink it the more I couldn't choke it down. I ended up throwing it in the trash.



Gloria Jeans hazelnut-this one has a good flavor, doesn't need sweetener, but it's not sweet on it's own. Very "hazelnutty", but I'm not sure I like hazelnut...





Bigelow earl grey tea-This is awesome. I'm not a big hot tea drinker, but this is very good hot, doesn't need any sweetener, and it's got a slight citrus taste to it but not like a lemon zinger tea. This is very very good tea when you want something lighter than coffee.
