Day 4 of all-things-pumpkin-spice turned out to be a great collection. Today’s theme was breakfast-ish.
My grades: Yay! . . . Ok? . . . NEVER AGAIN.
- Oui by Yoplait – Pumpkin Caramel – Creamy, sweet, pumpkin and CARAMEL on the bottom . . . delicious. Grade: Yay!
- Chobani – Pumpkin Spice – Tart, rich, and creamy. The pumpkin spice smell was fairly strong but didn’t overpower. If you like Greek yogurt then this is for you. Grade: Ok?
- Nature’s Bakery Fig Bar Pumpkin Spice – I love fig Newtons, but dang this was a disappointment. It’s basically a healthier-ish version of the Little Debbie Pumpkin Delight Cookie, which wasn’t great. What’s shocking, the blueberry and strawberry flavors are really good. Grade: NEVER AGAIN.
- Larabar Pumpkin Pie – Now were talkin. This actually tastes like pumpkin. This nutrition bar is made with dates, cashews, almonds, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice, and dried pumpkin. It’s chewy and takes a second to get used to the texture . . . but worth it. Grade: Ok?
- Nature’s Path Organic – Frosted Pumpkin Pie Flavored Toaster Pastries – It tastes like pumpkin spice, but definitely not healthy. Loads of sugar . . . lots of cinnamon . . . dry . . . all crust and no filling. Grade: Ok?
