I thought it would be fun to have a thread for new food products.

I am recommending

*****Lipton White tea with rasberry*******

I have only tried the regular . It comes in sf too.

Use this site to also thumbs up or thumps down for example.

I have found it the cheapest at Sams.

I love the packets of True Lemon and True Orange. I haven't tried the True Lime yet.

They are basically dried lemon, lime or orange flavors, no sugar, no artificial sweeteners. They come in regular (which are about 40 pkts per box for $3.99) and Plus which gives you 100% Vitamin C and they are (I think) 16 pkts for $2.99. Each packet flavors 10-16oz of water.

Okay, here's my new favorite food: Quaker Soy Crisps

BBQ or White Chedder (BBQ is the best) 18 crisps per serving, 110 calories, 5 fat, 14 carbs, and 7 protein!

When I buy a bag I immediately put them in smaller snack size bags with 10 in each...my way of portion control.

dont know how new they are - but they are new to me - Apple Crisps or Apple Chips, hmm now i dont remember what they are called but they are basically dried apples and crunch like a chip but have less fat. mmmm

Have any of you tried the Nectar protein powder that is supposed to taste like iced tea? I just ordered some and hope that I didn't blow $30 on another icky saccharine beverage.

Is that Syntrax brand? While I LOVE LOVE LOVE their Matrix 5.0 their nectar Protein makes me gag. I can do it once, more than that and it's too much effort to get it down and keep it down.

Did you try to request samples before ordering?

Doh! I didn't even think of requesting samples! I was looking for individual packets, but I couldn't find anyone onlne who sells them individually. I usually use protein from Whole Foods because none of them have saccharine (or splenda or whatever, I really hate that fake sugar), but I am getting a little sick of the same flavor over and over again. I thought an "iced tea" protein might be good. It might also be horrible and sicky sweet.

Well, if nothing else will the company refund your money if it is really bad? Can you return it and at least get the cost of the product back if it is extra horrible? If not, can you find a way to cancel the order?

I ordered it from Drugstore.com. I think they have a decent return policy. Hopefully it doesn't taste like sh**.

i love the nectar calipso cooler its very pinacolada delicious. i have had the ice tea... dont think it was gritty... i think it was just Ok but i shoul dhave had it colder i think it sat to long on my desk.

That's encouraging. I hope I like it because I'm so sick of chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. Or should I say "chocolate", "vanilla", and "strawberry"?

I got a 3 ounce shooter of liquid Protein at the local muscle-head store. It has 42 gms of protein and 176 calories, so its a quick

protein fix that won't blow your calories for the day. So far I've only had grape, but I understand their are other flavors. Also, Isopure protein Water - 40 gms in a 20 oz bottle. I made Jello out of

the isopure so now my sugar free snack actually has some nutritional value.

That's a great idea to make the Jello with the Isopure.

Apparently we can't really process more than about 25 grams of Protein at a time, the rest goes to fat, so the idea of making jello from the Protein Drink is a GREAT idea!

I didn't know that about 25 gms at a time. That's good to know.

btw - the 3 oz shooters are called New Whey - I'm taking half per

day as a little boost, since the protein 'shake' is only good for 18 gms, and i'm in the full liquid, or gruel stage, so cream soup doesn't hold much protein.

I've read that some folks split them in half and put them in drinks in the moring and the afternoon. That way they only use one per day, and get just enough protein in each for good absorption.
