    These sweets claim to be a low sugar better for you alternative to nostalgic candies and it does so with a few compromises. The texture of these candies especially the gummies lack the bouncy type of jelly texture that the originals have and trades it for something a lot more firm and set in. Considering the huge difference in sugar content and the added fiber, I think it's a good item to curb bad sugar habits and functions exceptionally in that mode.

    I wouldn't focus too much on the bananas and honey steering the flavor profile but regardless this is such a tasty beer that has a light, bright, refreshing acidity and an easy to drink mouthfeel.

    I love the variety and room for experimentation that this brand does. I always am intrigued whenever they launch a new line of products and makes me rethink how I use condiments and herbs.

    I enjoy the Kin Spritz, it tastes like an old fashioned in a way with orange peel and bitters flavor profile and I like that it also provides caffeine and a one two punch of nootropics and adaptogens. It's a sub for coffee on certain days for me when I want something that won't be too aggressive for my day.

    These are shaped like a donut but are extremely small and taste like a coconut macaroon. Tons of gluten free, vegan desserts go for the almond flour and coconut ingredient combo and this donut is just like those and with the same flavor profile. The packaging and form factor are a differentiator but nothing terribly mind blowing! I've had nearly all the flavors and the matcha exclusive at Alfred and would rate them 3 stars as well.

    In a world of startups attempting to make healthy facsimiles of their junky counterparts, Chubby manages to make something healthy, practical, and with flavors that don't stray too far away from the original. They are healthifying uncrustables and it's high fiber, good protein, and low sugar make this something that I wish I was fed as a child instead of the heavily sugar adulterated ready to eat foods i was given.

    Oatly is the one that started it all. I drink it at a cafe every once in a while and I feel that it is the golden marker for alternative milks to compare to and for good reason: the texture and flavor is neutral and complimentary to let coffee beverages shine. Nutritionally, I prefer purchasing soy or making homemade nut milk for home use but I find myself getting Oatly when I go for a treat coffee or matcha.

    The nutritional information was very promising and who doesn't want a healthier way to consume their usual carb items? I am used to healthier food alternatives making certain compromises like Halo Top with icecream, Smartsweets with candy, Lilys with chocolate, but I couldn't find myself finishing a single Better Bagel unfortunately. The texture is very chewy and like a dense sponge-like bordering memory foam kind of bite. I've tried it with a cream cheese schmear and separately as a bagel sandwich with labneh, lox, heirloom tomato, red onions, capers, cucumbers and I feel that it works a lot better for the latter when it's buried under a lot of components. I'd stick to just reducing my "regular" bagel consumption or eat things on Ezekiel bread instead of buying another package of these bagels. It's all subjective though so please read more reviews to get a grasp if this is for you.

    The format of these products are innovative and love how easy they are to take with on trips. The fliptop and bottle material feel great to use and permits a smooth user experience. The powder to lather use is a novel experience but actually works so well! Love the environmentally conscious ethos of the brand and how much they're committed to engaging in sustainability and resource reduction conversations.

    Feedback

    The shampoo formula really shines but the conditioner is lacking in how effective it is at conditioning and the experience of managing the powder is not as good as the shampoo. I think it needs a reformulation of some sort to improve the way it distributes in the hand when using it and to condition better.
