Kashi Vive Cereal


So there is 170 calories in 1 and 1/4 a cup. It is a special probiotic cereal for digestive health, but I wanted it so bad. It also has 20% DV calcium and vitamin D! 12g fiber, 4g protein.
I was really excited to try this cereal whenever I found out the flavor! "Toasted Graham and Vanilla"


I like the little balls that taste like vanilla. They also have similair oddly shaped twigs like in the Go Lean! cereal, except these aren't as crunchy and these taste like graham cracker. And they have these bran flakes.


The only bad things about this cereal are I don't really like bran flakes and the bran flakes sink to the bottom. But I'm guessing that's where all the fiber is.


I probably won't get this cereal again, though. Darn bran flakes!!!

South Beach Meal Bars

Okay, so these bars are really really yummy!
You use them as a meal replacement, like if you don't have time for lunch, breakfast, or dinner.
I think they have a better flavor and texture than the Cereal Bars by South Beach.
I've only tried the Chocolate Peanut Butter, because it's the only one that I can get individually. Darn!

Flavors include:
Chocolate Peanut Butter - 10/10
Chocolate Crisp - Haven't tried, but would like to!
Caramel Peanut - Haven't tried, but would like to!
Cinnamon Creme - I really think this would be DELICIOUS!!!
Vanilla Creme - Sounds really really good!!
You can also get the Chocolate Meal bars which are layered and dipped in chocolate.
Flavors:
Chocolate Peanut Butter
Chocolate Caramel
Chocolate Fudge

South Beach Cereal Bars


I love these bars they are really yummy and only have 140 calories and 10g protein!
They contain 5g fat (3g which are saturated, .5g are polyunsaturated, and 1.5g are monosaturated).
They have 15g carbs and 3g fiber. They have 7g sugar.
They also contain 10 vitamins and minerals! (15% DV Calcium)
The flavors are...
Peanut Butter - 9/10 (really yummy. I expected it to be this way! But it was a little gritty.)
Chocolate - 6/10 (kind of gritty and weird.)
Cinnamon Raisin - 10/10 (SOOOOO DELICIOUS. The icing is really good and the cinnamon and raisins are delish...)
Maple Nut - I want to try!
Cranberry Almond - haven't tried, and not planning on it. I hate cranberries.

Minute Maid Light Orange Juice (with Calcium!)


Well, I like the nutrition label. Only 50 calories and 13g carbs (11g with are sugar).
It has more calcium than a class of milk! 35% Daily Value.
It's really watery... Definately not a good as regular orange juice. I like the concentrate in the frozen section best.
I won't pick this out again.

EAS Mycoplex Lite Bars


Ehh, I didn't expect to love these bars, and just as I expected, I didn't. I picked it up because the calories weren't awful.

I got the Chocolate-Chocolate Chip Crisp flavor. It kind of tasted funky and looked kind of like a turd.

Other flavors include Cinnamon Roll Crisp, Peanut Caramel Crisp, and Peanut Butter Crisp.

The calories vary per bar, but mine had 190 calories, 4.5g fat (3g saturated), 26g carbs, 4g fiber, 11g sugar, and 15g protein.

But it was a really really big and dense bar.

It also contains 25% of my daily value of calcium.

Cocoavia


These bars are so great. I love dark chocolate, especially these!

these have 7 vitamins and minerals! Including 25% of your daily value of calcium! Each bar is only 100 calories and has 2g fiber.

They last a really long time too. I melt them in my mouth! Each bar has 4 parts where you can break it, so you can control your portion sizes easier and save the rest for later.

If you are a chocoholic like me you will love these things!

South Beach Wraps


I liked these alot, each pack contains everything you need for a light and satisfying lunch.
Find them in the refridgerated section.
They are full of fiber - 14g! And they are not gritty at all. There is 24g protein also! And only 12g fats (alot of them are good fats).
The wraps come in:
Grilled Chicken Caesar - * * * * *
Turkey and Bacon Club - * * * * *
Deli Ham and Turkey - I would like to try!
Southwestern Style Chicken - I'd try even though I'm not big on Southwestern Chicken.
Sesame Chicken - The orange dressing kind of sounds iffy to me.
