I was hoping it would be a replacement for Chick-fila Polynesian sauce, but no. Is this sweet & sour any better?

I’ve tried sweet chili and the ketchup and I like those. This one was just a hard no for me.

bettergoods bruschetta pizza. 270 calories (less than lean cuisine pizza by 50 calories!!) and it tastes amazing. a little pricey at $4-ish but so worth it to keep around for pizza cravings.

Legendary Mac & Cheese

Considering the macros of these (35g of protein for only 220 calories), I’d say they were pretty good taste-wise. They’re definitely not as good texture-wise as regular pasta or mac & cheese, but that’s to be expected for a high protein product, and they were still pretty decent.

My issue with these comes down to volume. You really don’t get much, so it’s not very filling at all. And for $5 each cup, I don’t think it’s worth the price considering how little food you get. I’d eat them again for sure if they were cheaper though.

IMO: Slightly Better Muscle Milk

Tried this today since we have a whole costco case of it. It’s a thinner, slightly better version of muscle milk. It tastes ok to me, i’ll drink it if it’s there but fairlife is still the king. Letting it sit out a little bit makes it a little better interestingly. The dog’s name is whiskey, he’s a shih tzu.

Taste Flavor Co Is Horrible

I just bought like 6 of these because they average around 10cal per tbsp. I’m not even remotely picky and these are absolutely horrible. Honey mustard (10 Cals per tbsp) is the only sauce thats solid and its as good as any other low cal honey mustard, but costs about twice as much. The marketing and fake testimonials totally got me so kudos to them. These are like $8 a piece.

In a blind tasting, no person on earth would know the “creamy ranch” is supposed to taste like ranch. Its horrid

Spicy garlic parm is edible but tastes bizarre. There is a strong artificial Parmesan taste but thats about it. This us the only one besides honey mustard thats edible.

The siracha ketchup is identical to if you were to eat cold Campbells tomato soup out of the can. Like identical

I have yet to try buffalo blue cheese because I got so bummer i wasted $40 that I cannot continue the taste test.

Cautionary tale

I tried the cookies and cream variety after buying these as sprouts and it is so bad I will be throwing out both of them. It has a strong chemical taste and was a weird orange color inside. 0/10 do not recommend trying it.

Higher protein new brand of cottage cheese, Mulu

(Third picture is a Good Culture container, sorry it’s not the best photo).

This is the first time I’ve seen this brand at my local grocery superstore, Woodmans (a brand we have just in Wisconsin). It is exactly where the Good Culture brand is, so it’s definitely competing with that brand. It is a little cheaper than Good Culture, actually.

It’s nice that it’s even higher protein than Good Culture- 18 grams per half a cup over Good Culture’s 14 grams. Not a huge amount more, but it adds up If you have a lot in a meal.

The texture is a little more wet than Good Culture, and the curds are bigger.

I had it in my garlic cheddar cottage cheese egg bowl (it’s 1/3 cup cottage cheese, 2 tablespoons garlic cheddar blended cottage cheese) this morning. I noticed the wetter texture, though I didn’t notice the bigger curds in my application. It’s definitely a good, mild flavor.

I figure it would be a little looser blended up compared to Good Culture, but still a nice texture.

Personally, I still prefer the texture and thickness of Good Culture, but this is definitely a good alternative. Especially if you’re cutting and the extra protein is helpful.

If you’ve had this plain, or eaten this yet, let me know how you liked it!

Sola mini chocolate chip bagels

got these at target!

the chocolate chip flavor isn’t strong at all lol they’re pretty basic, almost identical to the regular original sola flavor. not bad but nothing special

i definitely prefer the cinnamon raisin or blueberry (full sized) bagels

Butternut Squash vs. Sweet Potato

So I have recently been told that butternut squash tastes very similar to sweet potato and is much less in calories. I tried some Butternut squash today and found it to taste pretty much like zuchinni and less "potato" like. Is there some way to prep these to taste like sweet potato?
