Soyjoy Bars


So they were giving away free samples of Soyjoy bars at Wal-Mart the other day. I picked up the Berry, Apple, and Raisin Almond flavors.
The nutritionals aren't that great, and neither is the flavor.
1 bar has 130-140 calories
6g fat
2g saturated fat
16g carbs
3g fiber
11g sugar
4g protein
All of them kind of taste the same, but I'd have to say Berry was the best.
It's a 100% natural fruit and soy bar. It's pretty dry because of the soy. It's pretty bland too.
The ingredients are really weird. The Raisin Almond one has Dried Cranberry, Dried Papaya, and Dried Pineapple in it too. And it has Parmesan Cheese in it!! WEIRD!
The lady who gave them to me said they kind of tasted like Fruit Cake. I have never had Fruit Cake so I don't know if they taste alike.
I probably won't buy these again... There are other bars that have even better nutritionals and a way better flavor.

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.
