Drizzle of honey, flaky sea salt, a minute under the air fryer *chefs kiss*

The cinnamon apple ones taste just like cinnamon toast crunch

I feel like I just found a forbidden secret.

They aren't even labeled "protein" anything. Yet I just checked the back and it has 10g of protein. It's only 90 calories. IT TASTES AMAZING 🤩

I can’t believe it took me so long to do this but today I made low-calorie ranch dressing and it is amazing. I used one cup of Hellmans light mayo, one cup of buttermilk, and one packet of Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning. It comes to approximately 45 cal for 2 tablespoons and it’s honestly the best low-calorie ranch that I’ve ever tasted.

**I wanna add that the hidden Valley Ranch seasoning packet says it’s 0 cal for a serving size but obviously that’s not correct for the whole packet so I guesstimated how many calories were in the whole packet. Hopefully I overestimated a little bit but should be pretty close, regardless my homemade stuff is less calories than the store bought light hidden Valley ranch dressing is so you really can’t beat that.

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.

i added some siracha on top!

next time i would only use half the package of sauce for the whole pack of fish because it was way too salty. (100% dv of sodium, so it figures)

this was very good! I would have given it a 10/10 if it had more cheese and spice

got it at sprouts

If you’re tired of half sandwiches, this is perfect! I had like 4 slices the first day I bought it. Only 35 calories per slice plus 10 g of fiber and 6 g of protein so it almost feels like cheating 😅 It still has a bit of a weird taste and texture, but once you toast it, it’s almost like the real thing. I love to pan fry it with a bit of garlic butter!

are there any others you have/ suggestions ?

I, like many others, found myself looking for some low calorie food finds on reddit. I stumbled across this subreddit not many days ago, on a cool spring day.

I found a post which made mention of a sour snack from Trader Joe's, a place not too far from my own.

I said, "Hey! That's something that should quell my desires for a sour snack!" What a treat, I naively thought. I hurried over to the local Trader Joe's, found the bag (a little on the pricey side of things,) and scooped up one.

I had one that same day, and said, "Hm, kinda bland. Oh well." And with that, I put the bag down on the living room table, to be snacked on at a later date.

That larer date was today -- I sat in that very same living room, reeling from the stress of chasing my cat around the house while trying to clean the brown matter from her behind, and found myself snacking on some gummy worms. Still bland, I thought to myself, but I might as well finish the bag. I owe it to myself, after such a rigorous jaunt around the house.

I sat down this evening, ready to binge some television, and perhaps make a drink to mull over the day. I had been characteristically flatulent tonight, but I chalked it up to perhaps some cheese from earlier. I sat lackadaisical on the couch, freely allowing farts to flow left and right, parting my cats hair in the process. I think I even saw my flowers wilt in the corner.

As I hit the next episode button on my streaming setup, I released the keystone fart. I found myself clenching at what I knew would have been a disaster second only in scale to the mount Vesuvius eruption, but just as runny. I scurried up the steps and my ass nary hit the freshly cleaned seat before blowing the top off of the fresh bottle of bubbly that has been brewing in my colon for the past several hours. The noises that followed rang through the corridors of my townhouse like a thunderclap in a museum. The rushing waters of Niagara falls pale in comparison to the force at which the liquid was forced out of my lower intestine. As my eyes blurred from my body composition dropping to being comprised of only 45% water, the scent swirled into my nostrils, melting away the nose hairs which may have protected me, and snapped me to attention at the speed of a whip crack. The only potential upside to this situation is that I assume I will have lost a decent amount of weight with the lack of stomach contents and water weight. When I am done with this experience, likely in several years, I will log the weight difference.

Dear redditors, I write to you now a warning while sitting atop this porcelain throne, these are a fantastic little treat, but they will cause you a level of colonic despair which you have not yet experienced if you consume each of those little buggers all at once.

tl;dr: To anyone who has had a colonoscopy, know that this experience is nearly 1:1, with the exception being that I planned for the colonoscopy.

serving size: 8, calories: 35

mint flavor is very refreshing, cookie bits remind me of Ben and Jerry’s mint cookie pint. the texture is a bit ice tho, but still enjoyable and would get again

only 175c for the full bag

Spotted at my local Dillon’s 0 cals a serving! Has anyone tried? Trying to lean of diet soda
