Skinny Cow Heavenly Crisp- Chocolate

Hey guys! Sorry I have posted in a while, but I've been pretty busy. Anyways, I am back to do another healthy snacking review! *Yay* Today, I am reviewing Skinny Cow Heavenly Crisps in the flavor chocolate. I am an absolute chocolate LOVER. I have a major sweet tooth, and I have nothing, but good things to say about this chocolate. For starters, the bar is only 110 calories!!! Is that great of what? The bar consists of three light and airy crisps layers and in between these crisps layers are rich and milky layers of a chocolate creme. The bar itself is covered in a decadent milk chocolate coating, with white chocolate delicately drizzled on top. Most people with think a chocolate bar with only 110 calories it must not be as good as regular chocolate bars, but trust me they are, and I would not lie to you. Sorry for the shortness of this review!
Talk to you guys later!

Balance Bar- Cookie Dough

I'm amazed at myself, two reviews in one day. Unfortunately, I have nothing positive to say about this Balance Bar. Yesterday, I made a trip to the grocery store to pick up some more Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Luna Protein Bars. I was looking down the aisle when I noticed that the Balance Bar Company had a protein bar also in the flavor Cookie Dough, so I decided to give it a try. I mean what could go wrong? The Luna Bars were great, as I said in my review. Apparently everything could go wrong, starting with the artificial smell that bombarded my nose when I opened the package. The smell was very off putting. I decided to just ignore the smell and take a bite, after all you shouldn't just a book by it's cover right? Wrong, the flavor was almost as worse as the smell. I didn't even taste the slightest hint of cookie dough. Although if you cut the bar open the inside resembles a roll of cookie dough. It has a strong protein taste, that I found overwhelming. The Balance Bar also contains more calories than the Luna Bar does. The Luna Bar contains 170 calories, 50 calories from fat, 6 grams of fat, and 12 grams of protein. The Balance Bar contains 210 calories, 60 calories from fat, 7 grams of fat, and 15 grams of protein. All in all the taste isn't the only thing unappealing about the Balance Bar. If I had to recommend either the Luna Bar or the Balance Bar I would suggest the Luna Bar, they also retail for the same price $1.49 at my grocery store. But everyone's opinion is different, and this is just me stating mine! Talk to you guys later!

Kellogg's Fiber Plus- Chocolate Chip

Hey everyone, I am back to do another review. This time I am reviewing Kellogg's Fiber Plus Bar in the flavor chocolate chip. I am a huge fan of the Fiber One bars, so I thought why not give Kellogg a try. I can honestly say that I'm glad that I did. I found that this bar was better than the Fiber One bars, due to texture and taste. I'll start with taste, I found that the overall chocolate flavor of the bar was less artificial tasting than with a Fiber One bar. Also, the Kellogg's bar seemed to contain more oats, unlike the Fiber One bars that contain only rice puffs. I would definitely recommend adding this in to a breakfast rotation in the morning or a snack in the afternoon. This review has actually turned out to be kind of short! Oh Well, talk to you guys later :)

Luna Protein Bars-Cookie Dough

I just recently tried Luna Protein Bars in the flavor chocolate chip cookie dough. I must say I am in love. Luna bars are made by the Clif Bar & Company. I was not a fan of the infamous Clif bars, I found them rather disgusting. I was not a fan of the texture and overall thickness of these bars. I had recently heard a favorite YouTuber of mine mention her love of Luna Bars, so I decided I would give them a try. When I arrived at the grocery store, there were so many flavors I couldn't decide which flavor I wanted to try and then I laid eyes on the Luna Protein Bar. What drew me to this bar you ask? My love for cookie dough. When I saw it was chocolate chip cookie dough flavored, I couldn't help myself. When I got home I immediately wanted to try the bar. It tasted as wonderful as I thought it would. The chocolate was sweet but not overwhelming, the nougat on the inside contained mini semi sweet chocolate chips along with air puff crisps, to add a twist in texture. Overall the nougat was sublime, I couldn't have asked for anything better. The bar retailed for $1.49 at my grocery store, they come in five flavors; chocolate, mint chocolate, chocolate cherry, chocolate peanut butter, and cookie dough. I can't wait to try more flavors!
