Again, its not that these taste bad. I thought that the Garlic Butter grilled fillets were pretty tasty. Good flavor. The problem for me is really that they don't have much in size. They are so small and thin a person could eat one box alone. That being said you could probably fine some frozen fish that you season yourself and get some bigger portions. Plus fresh seasoning and fish is always better right?

This was passed on to me by Gillian Zimmer. How will you celebrate? You had me at Cinnamon.
Ok, Apple Straws are pretty awesome. They remind me of those Cinnamon Twist that I used to get at Taco Bell as a kid. Only not as sugary, much healthier, and still just as tasty. Apple Straws are great if you are trying to fill a craving for something crunchy and sweet. I don't know that I would put these in the potato chip category, but they are pretty close. 14 Carbs per 38 straws is a great number. Not perfect, but 38 straws goes a long way when you want to do some munching. Not for people doing induction, but everyone else, if you limit yourself they are a perfect snack. These aren't the best choice of fish out there for you. Especially since most fish by itself has zero carbs to begin with. When you add the breading it really messes with the carbs. Still, they are pretty tasty and if you are going to have a frozen breaded fish, then this one if probably going to be a slightly better choice for you than some other because of it being beer battered. The batter actually helps the carb count to be a little lower. It doesn't help much but it does help, and of course it makes the fish have a yummy flavor that is close to that of fish you would have if you were sitting in a little irish pub.
Still if you wanted an even better option you could batter them yourself with a almond flour. Something I will show you in a future post. I don't know if its really worth saying anything about these. They are kind of like any other frozen meatball out there. If you are getting ones that are beef then you have a good chance of keeping your carb count down. Turkey may even be better but more expensive. These one are nice because they are a bit larger than other ones I have tried which is a plus.
They work great with a little ranch, bbq sause, or even marinara for a quick snack. I will even use them as a meal on occasion. Very quick to make also. The Premier Protein Chocolate Shake has a good chocolate taste to it, and I would have no problem drinking one of these, but usually the chocolate flavored shakes taste less natural to me. This one had that chalky taste to it and you felt like you could taste more of the vitamins and nutrients in it. It's not awful, just not as smooth tasting as some of the other ones that are available
At two carbs per shake you can't beat that and it has a bunch of vitamin in it to help you get what you need. It's probably not going to fill you up by itself, but with a small snack you could easily make this a meal. I should mention that the Costco near us stocks these in bulk if you want to save a little money and stock up. |
