New Product Loves

Tags

As a self-proclaimed foodie, I am always on the look out for new products to try. This is especially true when those new products are distributed by companies that I already know and love!

Lately, I’ve come across [and subsequently fell in love with] quite a few new-to-me products. So of course, I just had to share these newfound product loves with all of you.

I am pretty much obsessed with cereal. Interestingly, I rarely (if ever) eat it for breakfast. It does, however, make very frequent appearances in my night time snacking. You’ll usually find Sam digging into a bowl of fruity pebbles or cinnamon toast crunch. But for me, it’s all about the cheerios.

Chocolate cheerios [with raspberries], multigrain cheerios [with frozen blueberries], cinnamon cheerios, and most recently…

Dulce de leche cheerios. Um, what? Get in my bowl right now. This would be fantastic with a sliced banana. [A big thanks to my Mom for spotting these and knowing I’d be all about them.]

And what better way to drown my cereal then in the new almond coconut almond breeze.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, get in my bowl right now. Seriously though, my two favorite milks combined into one deliciously creamy mixture? Yes, please.

While we’re on the topic of things that are deliciously creamy (TWSS), how about the new Chobani flavors?

The blood orange is absolutely divine [even if it does remind me of the introduction to Dexter]. On my list of favorite Chobani flavors [what? Doesn’t everyone have a list like this?], it comes in second or third. Only surpassed by lemon and/or black cherry.

And I can’t wait to get my hands on the apple cinnamon and the vanilla chocolate chunk (champions). I could definitely see one these making it to the top of my favorites list.

Next up? The new Clif mojo bars.

Could any bar with the words chocolate, almond, and coconut on the package really be bad? I think not. And at 99 cents a bar, I stocked up on these babies. Thanks Trader Joes for keeping my money in my wallet where it belongs.

And here is where my wallet gets emptied.

This next product is something I actually didn’t want to like since it drains my money faster than a teenage girl on her way to the mall. Yes Courtney, I’m looking at you.

Damn you chia drinks and your deliciously odd, yet satisfying texture.

And last, but certainly not least are the new Starbucks k-cups. These are not entirely new, but they’re new-to-me since I only recently bought a pack. In fact, I took a bit of a risk and put my faith in Starbucks before even trying these k-cups by buying a Costco sized box.

Luckily, they came through. These little cups will be keeping me caffeinated until at least mid-February.

Okay, so now it’s your turn. Any new products that I should be on the look out for? I’m always looking for excuses to make a Trader Joe’s/Whole Foods trip. And of course, a little shopping on amazon isn’t out of the question either. I mean, sometimes you have to make sacrifices to try new things, ya know?

Alright, I’m off. Have a great day! Can’t wait to see what I should be hunting for next.
