Yoplait Original 99% Fat Free Yogurt (Cherry Orchard) Review
There have been many Yoplait Reviews", but never of the Yoplait Original 99% Fat Free Yogurts. So naturally, when I received a few samples to try out, I set out to remedy this situation, starting first with the Yoplait Original 99% Fat Free Cherry Orchard Yogurt.
NUTRITION FACTSServing Size: 1 container (6 ounces)
Calories: 170
Total Fat: 1.5 grams, 2%
Saturated Fat: 1 gram, 5%
Sodium: 85 mg, 4%
Carbohydrates: 33 grams
Fiber: 0%
Sugars: 26 grams
Protein: 5 grams
My first thought when I tasted a spoonful was, "Holy Cow, this yogurt is SOOO SWEET!" Thanks for taking out the fat Yoplait, and still leaving us with a creamy yogurt; and thanks for all the cherry which seemed to be in every spoonful. BUT Yoplait, PLEASE ease up on the sugar. It's way too sweet ... overwhelmingly so - I drank almost a gallon of water after consuming a 6 ounce container. Everything else about this cherry yogurt is on point, so again Yoplait, I implore you, get rid of the headache inducing sweetness, which will also lower the amount of calories - a win win situation, don't you think?!
Each 6 ounce container of Yoplait Original 99% Fat Free Cherry Orchard Yogurt provides 170 calories, 1.5 grams of total fat, 1 gram of which is saturated (2% and 5% of the daily value), 26 grams of sugars and 5 grams of protein. There is also 50% of the daily requirements for calcium and vitamin D.
The ingredients are, Cultured Pasteurized Grade A Low Fat Milk, Sugar, Cherries, Modified Corn Starch, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Nonfat Milk, Kosher Gelatin, Tricalcium Phosphate, Citric Acid, Colored with Beet Juice Concentrate, Pectin, Natural Flavor, Vitamin A Acetate, Vitamin D3.
As I mentioned before, I received samples of Yoplait Original 99% Fat Free Cherry Orchard Yogurt to review, but it's typically $0.75 for a 6 ounce container at my local grocery store. But this is not something I would buy - apart from being way too sweet, there's simply too much sugars and too many calories.

Athenos Baked Pita Chips (Original) Review
The front of the packaging of Athenos (Original) Baked Pita Chips has a bright blue sticker on it that reads, "50% less fat than the leading potato chips." Well, since crispy snacks like potato chips are my weakness, I only too happily threw this product in my grocery cart to try it out.
NUTRITION FACTSServing Size: 28 grams (11 chips)
Calories: 120
Total Fat: 4 grams, 6%
Saturated Fat: 0%
Sodium: 270 mg, 11%
Carbohydrates: 19 grams
Fiber: 2 grams, 8%
Sugars: < 1 gram
Protein: 3 grams
Their website describes Athenos (Original) Baked Pita Chips as "the ultimate dipping chip ... made from freshly baked pita bread, baked and seasoned to perfection ... with 50% less fat than the leading brand of potato chips and no cholesterol." What I found was a tasty, golden brown, sturdy pita chip, so good for the eatin'. Not too salty, not not too oily and just as good as World Classics Trading Company Sea Salt Baked Pita Chips (Review). My problem was when it's hard to eat just one serving, which is about 11 chips (28 grams).
Each serving provides 120 calories, 4 grams of total fat (6% of the daily value), no saturated or trans fats, 270 mg sodium (11% of the DV), 2 grams of fiber (8% of the DV), less than 1 gram of sugars and 3 grams of protein.
The ingredients list of Athenos (Original) Baked Pita Chips reads wheat flour, sunflower oil, salt, sugar, yeast, with ascorbic acid, rosemary extract and citric acid to preserve freshness. To overcome my problem of eating more than 1 serving at a time, I started having with StarKist Solid White Albacore Tuna in Water (Review) - lots of protein and crunch to make a nutritious snack.
A 9 ounce bag (255 grams) cost me $2.50, and I would buy these instead of regular potato chips any day of the week.

Coconut Dream Unsweetened Original Coconut Drink Review
I posted a "How Are You Milking It Poll" at the beginning of 2011, and 41% of voters use a non-dairy alternative - including me. Lately, I've been looking out for different coconut "milk" brands - so not surprisingly, I got around to picking up Coconut Dream Unsweetened Original Coconut Drink a few days ago. Oh - and according to the FDA, the term "Milk" is defined as " the lacteal secretion, practically free from colostrum, obtained by the complete milking of one or more healthy cows" - so I'm not correct in calling it coconut "milk" but since it's a white liquid with a similar consistency and intended purpose as "milk" - please forgive my liberties with using the word "milk" during this review.
NUTRITION FACTSServing Size: 1 cup (8 ounces)
Calories: 60
Total Fat: 5 grams, 8%
Saturated Fat: 5 grams, 25%
Sodium: 150 mg, 6%
Carbohydrates: 1 grams
Fiber: 0%
Sugars: < 1 gram
Protein: 0 grams
Now as for the taste & texture, as with Rice Dream Vanilla Rice Drink, this coconut "milk" is very watery - more like skim milk; and the coconut flavor is much milder than in Silk PureCoconut Original CoconutMilk, but that's not necessarily a bad thing - just depends on what your preference. I didn't mind. Of course, this is unsweetened, so although I liked the taste of it by itself, I much preferred using it in smoothies and even with cereal - although it has to be cereal with some sort of sweetness, like Kashi GoLean Crunch Cereal Review for example, but not something bland like Weetabix Organic Crispy Flakes & Fiber Cereal.
Each 1 cup serving of Coconut Dream Original Unsweetened Coconut Drink provides 60 calories from 5 grams of total fat, all of which is saturated (25% of the daily value). There is no fiber, protein or sugars, and 150 mg sodium (6% of the DV). That's 20 calories less than Silk PureCoconut Original CoconutMilk (Review) and So Delicious Coconut Milk Beverage (Review), both of which have 6 grams of sugars.
The ingredients are filtered water, coconut cream, tricalcium phosphate, carageenan, gellan gum, sea salt, natural flavors, vitamin A palmitate, vitamin D2, vitamin B12 (cyanocobalomine). The added vitamins & minerals provide 30% of the daily value for calcium, 25% of the DV for vitamin B12 & D, and 10% for vitamin A.
Funnily enough, although this is "enriched" with added vitamins, this has "All Natural" on the label. Nothing wrong with that according to the law of the land, but personally, I think "Natural" should mean not enhanced in any way. I bought a 32 ounce container for $1.99 at my local supermarket, and if it were a choice between this and Silk PureCoconut, it would come down to which is cheaper because I like both. BUT, since Blue Diamond Almond Breeze Unsweetened Almond Milk (Review) has less saturated fat - that's still my go-to non-dairy :milk".

Flax USA Flaxmilk (Original) Review
We have quite a few reviews of non-dairy "milk" in the archives - including Soy Milk, Almond Milk, Rice Milk & Coconut Milk. But Flax USA Original Flaxmilk was my first experience with "milk" made from flax oil.
NUTRITION FACTSServing Size: q cup (8 ounces)
Calories: 50
Total Fat: 2.5 grams, 4%
Saturated Fat: 0%
Sodium: 80 mg, 3%
Carbohydrates: 7 grams
Fiber: 0%
Sugars: 7 grams
Protein: 0 grams
Each 1 cup serving of Flax USA Original Flaxmilk provides 50 calories from 2.5 grams of total fat, (4% of the daily value), no saturated fat, fiber or protein, 7 grams of sugars, and 80 mg sodium (3% of the DV). Plus Flaxmilk delivers 1100mg of Omega-3 (ALA) in every serving. But here's the thing - DHA & EPA are more "beneficial" omega-3 fatty acids, than ALA, which we are not exactly deficient in.
As for the taste, I quite liked this. There is a sort of beany/ nutty flavor and scent that's quite unique and hard to describe. It's not overpowering, but I can see how this might be something not everyone will like. And although the description on the packaging read "creamY' - that's not a word I would use to describe it. One of the kids (the older one) didn't like it when he drank it straight, the other loved it. Both liked it with their cereal (not that I told them that it was the "different milk").
The ingredients in Flax USA Original Flaxmilk are all natural flaxmilk (filtered water, cold pressed flax oil), evaporated cane juice, tricalcium phosphate, vanilla extract, canola lecithin, sea salt, guar gum, xanthan gum, carrageenan, natural flavor, vitamin A palmitate, vitamin D2, vitamin B12.
I was sent a sample of FlaxMilk for review, but a ½ gallon container retails at Wal-Mart for $2.98. It's low calorie, dairy free, gluten free, lactose frree, soy free and Kosher. I like this milk because it's low in calories, and not high in fat or sugars - but not because it's providing me with ALA - for my omega-3 fix, I prefer to eat fish a few times a week and get DHA & EPA.

Power of Fruit (Original All Fruit) Bars Review
Ice pops are a must during summer. I know - lots of sugar and not much else, but that's why I'm hooked on Power of Fruit Bars. They sent me samples to try and I was bowled over by Power of Fruit CherryBerry Bars - only 35 calories and 5 grams of sugars. That flavor is just so fruity and delicious, but there are other varieties, so I excitedly tried the Original All Fruit Bars.
NUTRITION FACTSServing Size: 1 bar (1.75 ounces)
Calories: 28
Total Fat: < 1%
Saturated Fat: 0%
Sodium: < 1%
Carbohydrates: 7 grams
Fiber: 1 gram, 4%
Sugars: 5 grams
Protein: < 1 gram
The ingredients in these ice pops are strawberries, cranberries, blueberries, mango chunks, pineapple, bananas, white grape juice concentrate and water. You can certainly tell there is a lot going on flavor-wise - the ice-pops have a little sweetness and the berries are strongly represented both in taste and in texture as you bite into fruitybits very often, but the taste of the banana threw me off a little - I'm not sure I like 'nanas in my ice-pops. I still liked this flavor but not as much as the Power of Fruit CherryBerry Bars.
Each Power of Fruit Original All Fruit Bar (1.75 ounces), provides 28 calories and 5 grams of sugars. A box with 6 bars retails for $2.99-$3.89 - and worth it. They have coupons available from time to time on the Power of Fruit Facebook page, so stock up when it's possible. This wasn't my favorite flavor, but it was still good and I would buy it in the future.

Lightlife Smart Cutlets (Original) Review
I received a few samples of Lightlife Smart Cutlets (which are vegetarian - faux meat if you will), for review, and they have been making it easier to have Meatless Mondays for the family. I've already reviewed the LightLife Spicy Sweet & Sour Smart Cutlets was pretty decent, so let me tell you about the Original Lightlife Smart Cutlets.
NUTRITION FACTSServing Size: 1 cutlet (85 grams)
Calories: 110
Total Fat: 0.5 gram, 1%
Saturated Fat: 0%
Sodium: 360 mg, 15%
Carbohydrates: 8 grams
Fiber: 3 grams, 12%
Sugars: < 1 gram
Protein: 17 grams
I followed the directions for doing it on the stove-top, but then got impatient and finished it up in the microwave - I was really hungry! First, I tried it as it - without any condiment enhancement. The texture was thick and ... meaty ... but without the meaty taste. In fact, the taste is sort of wheaty/ soy-ish - not really something I would eat by itself. I made a sandwich with it however, and doused in ketchup and Annie's Naturals Organic Honey Mustard - it was delicious. A pretty good way to get 17 grams of protein with very little fat.
Each of the Lightlife Smart Cutlets (Original) (85 grams) provides 110 calories, 0.5 grams of total fat, 360 mg of sodium (15% of the daily value), 3 grams of fiber (12% of the DV), 17 grams of protein and less than 1 gram of sugars. The ingredients are, water, textured soy protein concentrate, wheat gluten, wheat starch, egg white powder, less than 2% of: yeast extract, cellulose gum, tapioca starch, potato starch, sea salt, natural flavor, salt, canola oil, sunflower oil.
A box with 2 cutlets costs $3.99 at my local grocery store, and I would buy this in the future - not to eat by itself - it definitely needs some seasoning, spices or condiments to enhance the flavor.

Silk PureCoconut Original CoconutMilk Review
I grew up drinking coconut water from street vendors in Jamaica - chopped with a machete right in front of you, and then cut in half once you were finished drinking, so you could scoop out the coconut jelly and eat it ... oh memories. I also grew up using coconut milk in dishes like rice & peas, but that usually came in a can. My how times have changed - I've seen a few companies starting to sell half-gallon containers of CoconutMilk, and it seems that people are using it in many more ways. It's been on my agenda to try for a while, and I finally got around to it when I purchased Silk PureCoconut Original CoconutMilk.
NUTRITION FACTSServing Size: 8 ounces
Calories: 80
Total Fat: 5 grams, 8%
Saturated Fat: 5 grams, 25%
Sodium: 30 mg, 1%
Carbohydrates: 7 grams
Fiber: 0%
Sugar: 6 grams
Protein: 1 gram
I was probably biased against liking this product - but it totally surprised me! The taste is pleasant with the characteristic aroma and flavor of coconuts - totally authentic. I had it by itself and I would much prefer to drink Silk PureCoconut straight than either rice or almond milk. But I must confess, while the 1st thought that popped into my head was how good this was, the 2nd and following thoughts were all about what kind of liquors this would go well with! And for the record - clearly mixing it with Kahlua is the obvious choice, but I think this is going to make some stellar mixed drinks.
But back to foods! I also hooked up my morning cereal (a mixture of Kashi Heart to Heart Warm Cinnamon Oat Cereal and Chia Goodness Apple Almond Cinnamon Cereal), with this coconutmilk and it was amazing - both the combination of cereals and with the addition of coconutmilk.
There is only one thing that's stopping this from taking over from Blue Diamond Almond Milk as my regular "dairy alternative milk" and that's the amount of saturated fat. Each 1 cup serving of Silk PureCoconut Original CoconutMilk provides 80 calories, 5 grams of total fat (8% of the daily value), all of which is saturated (25% of the DV), no fiber, 1 gram of protein and 6 grams of sugars. There is also 50% of the DV for vitamin B12, 45% for calcium, 25% vitamin D and 10% of the DV for vitamin A.
And yes, I know it's medium chain fatty acids which aren't supposed to be as bad as the sat. fats found in meats (long chain fatty acids), but I'm not convinced that there is enough research out there to back this up. The ingredients are all natural coconutmilk (filtered water, coconut cream), evaporated cane juice, calcium carbonate, natural flavor, dipotassium phosphate, xanthan gum, carrageenan, guar gum, cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12), vitamin A palmitate, vitamin D2. I have to say - they add a whole lotta stuff to this "all natural coconutmilk."
A half-gallon container of Silk PureCoconut Original Coconut Milk cost $2.99 on sale when I bought it, regular price $3.79. I would buy this again, as it's low in calories, economical and since I'm not going to be having more than 1 cup daily, the saturated fats shouldn't be too much of a problem when I'm eating right. Oh and I like how "coconutmilk" is one word - probably to get around the dairy industry trying to get the USDA to stop companies from using the word "milk" for non-dairy beverages ... but that's just the food science geek in me speculating.

Sensible Portions Original Sea Salt Pita Bites Review
Serving Size: 28 grams
Calories: 120
Total Fat: 3.5 grams, 5%
Saturated Fat: 0%
Sodium: 220 mg, 9%
Carbohydrates: 19 grams
Fiber: 1 grams, 4%
Sugars: 0 grams
Protein: 4 grams
In comparison to Stacy's Pita Chips, I'd have to say that there is room for both of these crunchy snacks in my pantry. Stacy's satisfies a chip craving, while Sensible Portions offers up more of a cracker-like creation. In fact, my first impression was that these were more similar to Saltine Crackers than Ritz, but without overwhelming your taste buds with an abundance of salt. The pita chip acts as the perfect vessel to embody the subtle saltiness, providing a hearty, crispy, crunchy base. The characteristic flavor of the pita is allowed to shine through just perfectly. Furthermore, a touch of oil gives the crackers a little oomph in the flavor department and an appealing sheen.
These make for a great snack solo, but are also a prime culprit for any topping that your mind can dream up. Think of them as an open canvas. I would imagine that Tribe All Natural Hummus (Sweet Roasted Red Peppers) would be a nice addition.

Each reasonable 9 cracker serving (28 grams) of Sensible Portions Original Sea Salt Pita Bites provides 120 calories, 3.5 grams of total fat (5% of the daily value), no saturated fat, 220mg of sodium (9% of the DV), 1 gram of fiber (4% of the DV), no sugar and 4 grams of protein. The ingredients list for these "all natural" pita bites includes, "Enriched Flour [Unbleached Wheat Flour, Niacin, Reduced Iron, Thiamine Mononitrate (Vitamin B1), Riboflavin (Vitamin B2), Folic Acid], Water, Yeast, Sunflower Oil, and Sea Salt."
I paid $2.50 for a 5-oz box of Sensible Portions Original Sea Salt Pita Bites. That is not exactly cheap, but it is a price that I would be willing to pay again because the all natural, baked reward makes that $2.50 worth it!

Snapple Green Tea Metabolism (Original)
Serving Size: 8 ounces
Calories: 60
Total Fat: 0%
Saturated Fat: 0%
Sodium: 5 mg, 0%
Carbohydrates: 15 grams
Fiber: 0%
Sugars: 15 grams
Protein: 0 grams
Thankfully, the bottle was already chilled, so I had about half the bottle on my way to the gym, and it made me go mmm! The tea flavor really comes through with NONE of the bitterness associated with green tea extract. It is mildly sweet - a little sweeter than most flavored waters, but certainly nowhere near sweet tea. This Snapple has a simple, clean flavor profile which was quite enjoyable.
So why "Metabolism" you ask?! Well, apparently there is a small study that shows green tea extract (in particular, the antioxidant EGCG), has been found to boost metabolism slightly. I liked that the bottle of Snapple Green Tea Metabolism tells us the exact amount of EGCG in the bottle (55 mg), although it would have been nice to know just how much is needed daily to affect metabolism (apparently it's 90 mg).
sponsor An 8 ounce serving of Snapple Green Tea Metabolism (Original) provides provides 60 calories from 15 grams of sugars - that's between 3-4 teaspoons. The ingredients are filtered water, green tea concentrate, citric acid, green tea, ascorbic acid (vitamin C), natural green tea extract, natural flavors. There is also 14 mg of caffeine per 1 cup serving.
The bottle I purchased, for $2.25 at the over priced gas station, contained 17.5 ounces, so 130 calories and 33 grams of sugars! That's quite a lot of sugar from one gulp. So this is not something I would sit around drinking bottles of daily, but I thought it was perfect for a before and after workout refreshment. Yes, just 1 bottle can do double duty.
And my Snapple bottle cap had Real Fact #736. "More babies are born at night than during the day."

Popcorn Indiana Gourmet Kettlecorn (Original)
Popcorn, Indiana Gourmet Kettlecorn prompted a plethora of thoughts to run through my mind as I stood in the aisle staring at the bright red bag sitting upon the shelf. The intriguing packaging states that this sweet and salty snack food is authentic (whatever that is supposed to mean), all-natural (that's good), packed fresh daily (... aren't all products that come from a busy plant that's open every day?), provides 16g of whole grains per serving (love that), is produced in Popcorn, Indiana (that's cute) and contains no trans fat (I would hope not). After all this thinking, and noticing that there was a two for one sale was going on, I picked up two bags and hoped for the best.

Saturated Fat: 0%

Carbohydrates: 21 grams

The popcorn is about the same shape and size as what you will find in your average bag of microwave popcorn. What sets this corn apart is the subtle sugary coating - the coating is subtle, but the sweetness ... not so much. Some of the pieces have little clusters of sugar, while others have no coating at all; but, for the most part, the coating is only a sheer covering that gives the kernels a glossy caramel color. If you are in the mood for a sweet, crunchy snack, Popcorn Indiana Gourmet Kettlecorn might be just the thing for you. I say "might" because the sweetness can be a bit overwhelming at times.

I purchased two 4 ounce bags of Popcorn Indiana Gourmet Kettlecorn Popcorn at CVS for $2.50 (buy one, get one free). If I find them on sale again (I do not see this brand too often), I will grab a bag for the pantry, however, I will let them find me, not the other way around. I would opt more often for Orville Redenbacher's Smart Pop Kettle Korn instead. On another note, there are some flavors that sound extremely intriguing, such as Sweet & Tangy BBQ and Buffalo Cheddar.

I purchased two 4 ounce bags of Popcorn Indiana Gourmet Kettlecorn Popcorn at CVS for $2.50 (buy one, get one free). If I find them on sale again (I do not see this brand too often), I will grab a bag for the pantry, however, I will let them find me, not the other way around. I would opt more often for Orville Redenbacher's Smart Pop Kettle Korn instead. On another note, there are some flavors that sound extremely intriguing, such as Sweet & Tangy BBQ and Buffalo Cheddar. Have you ever tried Popcorn Indiana products?
