100 cal Ndulge non-coated mint and chocolate fudge bars

Fine macros: double the protein V most Froyo bars like yasso, and no sugar. Much more like eating one of the cheap sugar free fudgesicle pops than any creamy yogurt though, and devoid of any discernible chips or texture (even visually, the bars are nearly homogenous in color). Take agesssss to get soft and never really get very smooth of fluffy, but are still refreshing and not grainy. Lack sweetness but are not sour, at least. These retail 9.99 for only 3 which seems insane, although they are large and take a bit to consume since they are not creamy/fluffy or something to melt in the mouth. I prefer these to the dipped versions, since there is less of a stark contrast between the base and texture and the base has a bit more flavor. (But that is not saying a lot, as I had a very poor disappointing experience with the icy and flavorless dipped bars.)
These do not hold a candle to anything like the old enlightened bars, and aren’t worth purchasing over a high protein ice cream like frozen one or protein pints. I also really wish they had some fiber added —they could really benefit from the sweetness of chicory root or inulin or soluble form fiber, and I imagine it would help texture, as well.

Curd protein pudding

Ngl an offputtung name, at least to me, but a nice small business vibe to it in a glass jar. I do think I prefer parfait-style cottage cheese for some more texture differentiation when it’s single serve, but imagine these may be nice with toppings. They also have a chocolate flavor that is sold out.

Happy for a fruity flavor but I do NOT understand why they picked such an out of season flavor (this is major fall vibes! I want some citrus or berry or peach or cherry!).

I am VERY disappointed in the lack of moist pie filling, in the use of cheap sugary graham topping, and ESPECIALLY in the significant amount of sugar added thru the topping shell. I’d pay more for one using Lily’s sugar free chocolate or a sugar free frosting alternative, and this ingredient means that I will have this once to try, and never again.

The ingredients and macros are also SUS. “Sweeteners” in the apple pie filling legally need to be specified. And added sugars need to be listed separate from total sugars.

Also, the label states 23g sugars but below the label it says 27g so very obviously one of these is wrong.

These come in so many flavors with 0 calories! Not sure they’re actually that that low calorie because they’re with grape juice, but probably pretty similar to konjac jellies. Tho these omit sugar alcohols so maybe it would be easier on digestion.

They really could have done so much better and no one should have let these out of the factory. Alpha prime has horrible quality control and is unnecessarily expensive for the poor ingredient quality and abysmal flavor/ texture.

They are quite greasy of a mouthfeel and use sugar in the white chocolate which is annoying and unnecessary. The flavor is mild, and they are very very hard and stale: difficult to bite through. Magic spoon treats are so much better, and actually cheaper but with higher quality ingredients.
