ChicoRite Yellow Cake Protein Bar Review

ChocoRite has always done a great job of getting low carb treats right. Their no sugar added chocolates are always delicious and full of flavor. I was completely unaware that they did protein bars. When I got this in one of my snack boxes I was really excited to try it. And good news, it didn’t let me down.


The ChocoRite company nails the taste of yellow cake. Which I didn’t know I needed until I tasted it. But sure enough, it was there. A sweet smooth taste that has lots of flavor and doesn’t leave you with a strong protein after taste. Its sweet and fulfilling. I loved how soft my bar was too. Very yummy. I may even order some on my next refill.

DNX Beef & Uncure Bacon and Jalapeño Bar Review

​The DNX Beef & Uncured Bacon and Jalapeno Bar is kind of weird. It's not a meat stick like you might be used to. And it is not a traditional protein bar either. It's a meat bar. And when you can get past the idea of eating meat pressed into a bar shape, its actually pretty good. It was soft, tender, and not too dry. It's not like a jerky so don’t expect that. It's definitely closer to that of a meat stick consistency. But again, it's denser. I didn’t really taste much spice in this so I think the jalapeno got my hopes up. But the bacon was there. Pretty good.

Real good poppers Review

5/15/2019

Once again the Real Good company is trying something different with their new line of Poppers that they make. Low carb and made with Chicken instead of traditional protein they boast high protein and lower carbs. But how do they stack up?

​I was underwhelmed for sure with these. I was really hoping for more of a pizza taste then they let on. I wish they put some sauce inside these or something. I could hardly even taste the pepperoni. And the cheese was barely there. Very dry. We needed to dip them into something to add some better flavor so a side of ranch was the best fit. No real desire to have these again unless the recipe gets improved.

I actually liked these a lot more. I am guessing it has to do with the amount of cheese inside of them? They just seemed much more cheesy and flavorful. And even so, not my favorite. Still was drier than I wanted and hoped for. Really if you eat something called a popper, you expect it to pop open with lots of stuff inside. These don’t really do that. There may be a better way to label these so my expectations are lowered going in. Decent, but not super excited to get them again.


I will say this, You can find these at most Walmart's now. Which is exciting. Not many appetizer options out there for the low carb, but not there are. So that’s a big win.

May Keto Krate Review

5/13/2019

If you read this blog you know that I am constantly on the look-out for Low Carb products that meet my lifestyle and help to make my life a bit easier. Saving time on cooking, and having a variety of snacks available help to make the diet a bit easier on myself so I don’t get bored with the same old things. So when I discovered that there was a new subscription service that sends you products that fit within the low carb lifestyle I was on board.


Keto Krate is a new subscription box that is available in the long list of to your door monthly box subscriptions that is specifically geared towards the Keto and low carb lifestyle. They guarantee that all items in the box will be less than 5 carbs per serving and that the value of the collected items products will always exceed the cost of the box.


My desire to find some new snacks that were low carb is really what made me decide to give it a try, that plus who doesn’t like a surprise now and then.


My review's for the individual products in this box will be cut short here. I will be doing more in-depth reviews on each product and share links to those reviews here as I complete them. Right now I just want to talk about this month's box and what I got as a whole.


This box opened up strong with a bag of cereal from one of my favorite low carb cereal companies Catalina Crunch. They have a new flavor of cereal out and I look forward to giving it a try. To go with it comes with a Nut Milk by Milkademia which is a macadamia milk. I love that stuff. Very creamy and smooth. Followed next was a few nut packs. Peanuts by Pizootz and some cocoa almonds. A meat stick is always in the box and of course a few protein bars. One is cake flavored which I am really excited to try because I love the ChocoRite company. I also like the Dang company as they have some really unique flavors. Some chocolate cookies come next. Fat Snax haven't been my favorite but I love trying new flavors. Lastly they have a meal replacement shake that I can mix with the nut milk they sent.


​
Overall this box is pretty good. More than anything getting the cereal and milk is a huge win because that can be a multi use snack or breakfast. You can take get a lot of mileage out of those items. I like the bars they always include and they have some good snacking items like nuts. I guess I would have loved to see something more chocolaty in this box. But I'm probably just getting picky. This box was good. I guess I would give it a 7.

Real Good Cheese Enchiladas Review

5/13/2019

The Real Good company is rolling out low carb keto options of new products faster than you can eat them it seems. One item they have had on their menu of products for a little while is their Real Good Cheese Enchiladas. While there are plenty of low carb tortilla options out in the world, this team does theirs a bit differently. Made completely from Chicken it's incredibly high in protein and low in carbs.


The taste is certainly there with these. Lots of flavor from the red sauce they use. A little kick and a great savory taste. My overall complaint here is that they feel a little small and a lot of the cheese ends up melting out of the enchiladas. Again, the taste is good, but I found myself needing some additional food to go with it to make sure I was filled up enough.
