Chew On This/Don't Chew on This
Gimmie Lean Ground Beef Style
As I’ve announced in the past I decided to give up meat (will be seeking member reviews for meat based products in the future btw) therefore I’m venturing into different products to make up the difference. Which brought me to Gimmie Lean groundbeef style. I’m not usually a huge fan of faux meat, but a coworker shared with me the fact that another coworker uses this product to make his veggie burgers. He raved about it so much I decided to take a chance and give it a try.
Strawberry Banana Smoothie
This review kinda falls in the middle in terms of rather one should chew on this or not chew on this. Actually this one would be sip on this ha ha:) I kept buying the Dunkin Donuts Smoothie and thinking this is way too good to be true. I must have grazed the NI the first time I checked out the website and missed the High Fructose Corn Syrup among other things. Sodium’s not to pretty with this pink beauty, nor is the amount of Carbs and Sugar IMO.
Amy’s Veggie Burgers
Amy, or should I say Amy’s mom is my new best friend:) I just had a taste of the All American Veggie Burger, and I do mean taste because I wasn’t hungry enough to make my own yet didn’t want to take over my daughter’s. I believe I mentioned when doing the review on the Pizza, how I purchased the veggie burgers but they went uneaten. Yeah renewing the mind must go down in all areas of this life or we just a plum mess. What would it have hurted to try what I already had at home? Anyway so I finally decided to try some, my fear was well similar to my frozen meat fear, that it would taste like some artificial think that someone threw together in hopes that a brave soul would come along and buy it. Yet as I’ve said in the past, can’t know what will be good if I don’t take the chance of trying it. So I took the chance and tried a box of the veggie burgers. Decided to go with the all american because I knew if I went with one of the enchanced burgers and liked it, I’d never try the original, the opposite happending would have produced the same results.
Amy’s Cheese Pizza
The brain is such a powerful thing that if we do not renew it as the word tells us to, it’ll totally control everything we do. I say that because there is little that I like in the frozen foods department, I tend to over think stuff so it prevents me from buying that which I could very well enjoy. Past experiences doesn’t help with my phobia either, so when I heard such good things about Amy’s products, it was hard to believe it could be any good, after all it’s frozen. Well I do pretty well frozen pizza’s let me take that back. But it’s still frozen pizza to me and there are few that I’ve eaten that remind me of the real deal.
Bare Naked Granola
This is my all time favorite granola ever and I’m not just speaking on the specific type pictured (here is fruit and nut) but the brand period. Well that may not be a fair statement being I am not a huge granola eater. I’d seen this company on a show called Recipe for Success that comes on food network. The entrepreneur in my is what initially made me curious about the business and supporting by at least trying it out. And it was love at first bite LOL, I know real original:)
I’m typically going to be good with anything Banana Nut, so that was the first product I tried and I loved it. And let me add as I’ve said concerning many other reviews on here, granola was never my thing, hence why I don’t have too many brands to compare it with. So as I was saying once I tasted it I was sold and happy that I tried it out in spite of it being a food I’d disliked in the past.
Now to the taste, the flavor of it reminded me of something that I made at home myself. Not in the sense that it tasted like my cooking but that it didn’t taste like something that’s packaged and on the supermarket shelf. It is all natural so that could be the flavor tasted so homemade to me, I could taste many of the flavors listed on the package, the oats of course, the banana of course, the almonds of course, but also the honey the coconut, these are ingredients that I’ve read on the package of some things I’ve eaten which only left me scratching my head and saying really that was in there? LOL
