Liquid IV Hot Chocolate

Liquid IV Scorching Chocolate

It’s chilly right here on this rock in the midst of the Pacific Ocean. I’m speaking excessive 60s to low 70s. BRRRRR. Happily, I had this scorching chocolate combine to heat me up, which was on the clearance shelf for 50 % off or 5 {dollars}.

Sadly, I used solely one of many six packets within the field to maintain me heat and gave the remaining away as a result of this scorching drink combine is a scorching mess. It smells and tastes like I’m ingesting watered down scorching cocoa subsequent to a busy fragrance part at Macy’s. Is that tough to consider? Yeah, it’s exhausting to consider Macy’s is busy these days. There’s additionally a slight sourness within the aftertaste, which is what I count on from fruity Liquid I.V. flavors, however not from a scorching chocolate-flavored one.

Perhaps Liquid I.V. ought to stick to solely chilly drink flavors?

Swoop Peanut Butter Chip Blitz Excessive Protein Dessert

Swoop Peanut Butter Chip Blitz High Protein Dessert

After opening the highest, I noticed a shimmer that made it look icy, however as soon as I began scraping away on the prime, an everyday ice cream-looking stage appeared.

I’ve by no means been a fanboy of excessive protein ice lotions, like Halo Prime and Enlightened. They have been okay tasting, however didn’t wow me. Nonetheless, this pint of Swoop did wow me. Not simply because it’s a excessive protein ice cream, however it’s an ice cream that has an honest texture regardless of not having milk, skim milk, or cream. The one “dairy” listed is from whey protein isolate, and the primary ingredient is water. It’s additionally made with avocado oil, and dates sweeten the chocolate. I do know, all that sounds prefer it must be an terrible product, however it’s not.

The pint options peanut butter swirls, darkish chocolate flakes, and a maybe-vanilla base. Whereas there are some peanut butter swirls going via the center of the pint, they have been primarily on the outer rim of the dessert. However with each scoop, there was a pronounced peanut butter taste. The chocolate flakes have been plentiful, and it’s exhausting to consider Swoop used unsweetened chocolate, dates, and coconut oil to make them.

Like every nice ice cream pint, I might’ve eaten this in a single sitting.

Alani Nu Cherry Bomb Vitality Drink

Alani Nu Cherry Bomb Energy Drink

I didn’t have excessive hopes for this zero sugar power drink as a result of once I searched the Goal web site to see if the closest retailer had it in inventory, I seen its product web page had an general 3-star score from consumers. Nonetheless, like different Alani Nu merchandise I’ve tried, this one is nice as nicely.

Based on the model, this power drink is a “twist of cherry, vanilla, and cola flavors.” However it actually must be rearranged to cherry, cola, and vanilla as a result of the cherry is certainly essentially the most distinguished, adopted by the cola, and someplace there’s vanilla. Nonetheless, my tongue didn’t discover it. Consider it as Cherry Coke or Wild Cherry Pepsi, however the cherry initially dominates the style buds, then the cola comes via for a bit, after which the cherry absolutely rushes again in, which could be an excessive amount of for some.

The Cherry Bomb identify is certainly becoming. Additionally, I believe it’s The Bomb. And with 200 milligrams, it’s additionally a caffeine bomb.

Darkish Chocolate Reese’s Puffs Cereal

Dark Chocolate Reese’s Puffs Cereal

Our reviewer, Tiffany, coated this cereal earlier this week, and gave it a glowing evaluate. After attempting the pattern Normal Mills despatched me, I’ve to agree with lots of what she stated.

This cereal has a greater stability between the chocolate and peanut butter flavors. It positively makes the unique Reese’s Puffs style too peanut butter-y. I additionally agree together with her that this must be the default Reese’s Puffs cereal. I don’t assume Normal Mills would lose any cash by doing that. Additionally, we don’t should do away with the unique utterly. Normal Mills might deliver it again sometimes with a graphic that calls it the “Retro Recipe.”
