Healthy Snack Review | Trying New Healthy Low Point Foods | WeightWatchers Points, Calories & Macros

Which I wasn't... which I... oh my gosh. Okay. Hey everyone and welcome to my channel. I'm Nikki. I'm Adam. And today's video we've got a snack and food review. Yes. We are going to be trying a bunch of different salty and sweet snacks and giving our opinion on them whether we think they're worth purchasing or not. This is a way that we find a lot of our favorite snacks that we end up repurchasing and just incorporating to stay on track with our weight loss and maintenance journeys. So we have a lot of fun with them. It keeps things interesting and like I said, we're just always looking to try new things to incorporate. If you enjoyed this video or find it helpful, please go ahead and give it a like and subscribe to my channel. I really appreciate it. And really it does make such a difference when you guys like and share my videos. I've heard from a lot of creators and just seen that a lot of people are really struggling with YouTube, Instagram, all across the board lately. And so every like, every share, every time someone sends me a message or comment that they shared it with their friends, stuff like that, it really does help and it really means a lot to me. So thank you guys. Anyway, let's get started trying some things. We're both pretty hungry. And I feel like we just recently did one of these, but we were in a hurry to do another one because of one of these snacks that I picked up that we're really excited to try. But we've got a whole new lineup today and we're going to go ahead and start with a drink like normal. So I just recently made an order with Liquid IV and they had some new flavors that I wanted to try out. I just ordered through their website, but they've got, I feel like more of a selection on there with like the flavors and everything. They've got pretty much all their flavors they offer. My favorite flavor to this day is still watermelon. What's yours? Um, probably guava, honestly. Really? Random. For the regular ones, the sugar-free ones, the grape one. Yeah, or the raspberry melon. I like the grape too. But anyway, today we're trying one of the full sugar ones. So this one's actually four points on Weight Watchers. It is their Orange Vanilla Dream and it's an electrolyte drink mix. It's, like I said, four points, 50 calories, 13 carbs, and 11 grams of sugar. And it's meant to help just replenish and rehydrate after a workout. Or a lot of the times I like to bring these hiking with me, or like whenever we do something that's like a little bit more, even like playing pickleball, stuff like that. But anyway, we're going to be trying this out just in our blender bottle today. And then we've got this other one that we're trying and this one is a sugar-free option. This is their Energy Liquid IV, which I hadn't seen before. It's got 100 milligrams of caffeine in each stick, so not bad. I feel like that's a nice happy medium. It's pretty good for just like a stick. Yeah. It's got 20 calories and four carbs and it's one point on Weight Watchers for that one. So I didn't even say the flavor. This one is Blackberry Lemonade. Oh, what? Yeah. I'm definitely having that one. You'll put that in yours. I'll do the Orange Vanilla Dream. And it always says to put the liquid IV in how much water? Oh, add to 16 ounces of water, which we always end up doing way more. This is like 24 ounces, I want to say. I find that they're much saltier when you just have it in the actual 16 ounces. Yeah. This smells really good. Is yours a taller bottle too? Because mine's at like 20 ounces. I'm at 18 right now, so I'm actually pretty close to the 16 mark. Oh, I just got a smaller Dreamsicle. I know. I got a good smell of Blackberry Lemonade. Which I wish it wasn't four points for the stick when they're the non-sugar version, but it's something we have in moderation, not all the time. And like I said, mostly for recovery. Even like after if we drink or something the next day, I feel like it's always a great option. Or sometimes I don't really drink that often, but when I do, I like to have it as like a mixer so that I'm just staying hydrated when I have like a tequila or something. It smells really good. Oh, yours smells really citrusy. It does. Okay. Cheers. Oh, three, two, one, four and a half. Giving five to the Blackberry Lemonade. And because it's a sugar-free one, I'd probably give a five to the Dreamsicle too. But since it's points, I didn't bump it down. Yeah. Actually. Okay. Wait, I totally forgot that this one has caffeine in it. So that's even more of like a bonus that it's like a electrolyte mixed with caffeine. The flavor is so good. I can't think of what exactly it tastes like. It's very much, yeah, like raspberry lemonade. It's Blackberry Lemonade, but I feel like it's like raspberry lemonade is what it tastes like. It's like a berry lemonade. It reminds me of something, but I can't think of what. This tastes like a melted Dreamsicle and it's not salty. I don't think it's salty. I don't taste any of that, but it's got like a good sweetness to it. A good Dreamsicle. I wish it wasn't four points, but that's what we say about every liquid IV that's the non sugar-free ones, but. Yeah. And it's not like too sweet either. Like I feel like a melted Dreamsicle would be like very sweet. It's got like the perfect mix. Yeah. Those are two of my favorites actually. I really, really enjoy those. Pretty good. And like I said, I just got them off Liquid IV's website. Okay. Starting with our salty snacks. This one's kind of boring, but we really like pretzel crisps. And so anytime I see a new flavor, I want to try it out. I've never seen this one before. I went to grab it because I actually thought it was the honey mustard. The honey mustard used to be this color. Yeah, it did. But this is rye. So they've got some rye seeds on them. They're four points for the serving of 10 crackers, 110 calories, half a gram of fat, 24 carbs, a gram of fiber, two grams of sugar, and three grams of protein. And most of the time, what I use these for is snack plates with like tuna or chicken salad, which I actually feel like this would be really good with that. But also anytime I think of rye, I think of like Reuben. So I was thinking we could put like pastrami and sauerkraut, make little like pretzel crisp things with it. That's a good idea. Let's see how they are though. Smell very strong like rye. So we've got a few seeds on there. I feel like you have to like, it's like kind of an acquired taste or does everyone like rye? I feel like I didn't like it when I was a kid and it like grew on me more, but okay. Cheers. Three, two, one. Four. Okay. What's funny is that I never really buy rye bread and I just recently did because I found a thin slice of it and I've really been enjoying it. Um, that tastes exactly like a slice of rye bread. Pretty good. I think, like I said, it'll be really good for snack plates for tuna. It'll just be another flavor that we can throw in there. I feel like we'd like pretty much all of the flavors they have. And I want to say I found this at Walmart. I can't remember where I got these. Pretty sure I found these at Walmart, but yeah, usually I see them around at most stores. Yeah. Okay. The next thing that we're trying is something I found in the freezer section at Walmart. And we've tried different flavors of these before, but I saw that they had one with sausage today. So we really enjoy these when we do appetizer nights. They're usually a point a piece and these ones actually are as well. So for the serving of six of them, it is six points on Weight Watchers. It's 190 calories, eight grams of fat, 26 carbs, three grams of fiber, two grams of sugar and five grams of protein. And they're from the brand Cauliflower. So they do smell like cauliflower a little bit. When I took them out of the bag to heat them up in the air fryer, you definitely smell it. The crust is cauliflower crust and I heated these a little bit too long. They started to kind of explode, but I just heated them up in the air fryer for probably like five minutes. Rotate did like five more minutes or so. These are sausage and pepperoni pizza snacks and they are gluten-free. I don't know if they're anything else specific. I think it's mostly that they're gluten-free because it's the cauliflower crust. So let's go ahead and give a try. Cheers. They might be hot. Yeah, I was gonna say. Three, two, one, four. One and a half. They're really good. I feel like for a cauliflower crust item, they don't really taste that much like it, like you kind of do. And maybe I haven't had like a regular pizza roll in a long time, so someone who eats those a lot and then had this, maybe they would definitely like notice the difference. But I like the chewiness of it. It's a little more chewy than a regular pizza roll, but it also kind of tastes like one. It kind of satisfies the craving for one too. Yeah, that's what I was gonna say. I feel like it's not that much different as long as you don't have an issue with cauliflower. I think it's really good. Yeah, it's like a slight taste. It does change the texture, but I almost kind of like it more. Like I said, it's a little more chewy, but the filling tastes just like the filling of a normal pizza roll. Yeah, at one point a piece, that's pretty good, honestly. Yeah, yeah, because there's like two and a half servings in there. So usually we just make the bag and split it between us for an appetizer night, but yeah. Okay, the next thing that we're going to be trying, I also found this at Walmart and I'm always looking for different lower point queso options. I use it in moderation. Every time I show it, I get a comment about how it's like fake cheese, but I use it in moderation. It helps me to satisfy my craving for restaurant meals or takeout, like Mexican meals and stuff like that. So to have a nice option, especially on the air fryer wraps that I like to make, it's one of my favorite things, or if we make like nachos or enchiladas. So I found this, I hadn't seen it before. It looks a little jiggly. This is the brand Pace and it is their queso party bowl, queso blanco. So my first thought with this, because you actually heat the whole thing up at once, is that we could make like some ground chicken or turkey and make like a queso with the meat, kind of like that appetizer you get at parties that we really like. Yeah, like the Chili's one. So I was thinking that they had another one that wasn't queso blanco. They had like a regular or like not cheddar cheese, but like nacho cheese one, I think. And for the serving of two tablespoons, it's one point on Weight Watchers, 30 calories, two grams of fat, two carbs, and a gram of protein. And today we're just going to be trying it with regular tortilla chips, or not regular. These are the Trader Joe's leaf ones, but they taste regular. So I just popped the whole thing in the microwave to heat it up. It's kind of cooled down a little bit, but it's a little, it looks like normal jarred cheese, but I figure why not try it. One point for two tablespoons isn't bad. That's about the amount that I use when I put it onto my like nachos or like air fryer wraps. I couldn't think of what I put them on. That's what I use this type of queso for the most, but cheers. Cheers. Three, two, one, four, five. Oh, what? Wow. Okay. I think you can have a little bit more flavor and kind of just taste like a white queso, but it's kind of spicy, which I think it said it is medium. So yeah, medium. I really like that. It's only one point for two tablespoons. Like I said, that's usually the perfect amount to use. I don't know. It's not, it's, it's pretty good. I like it because a lot of times when we get spicy queso, it's not spicy. At least for me, that actually has a really good kick to it. My mouth's burning. Yeah. If you like spicy cheese, that is really good. And I kind of don't like that we had to heat the whole thing up. I probably would have just put it separate and done it that way. The same way I do when I get the jar. So I don't know, maybe that's only the difference is the container it comes in, but I have a pound of meat. So I might just cook that up with some taco seasoning and make a full like meaty queso out of it, which makes it much higher in protein and filling. And we'll do something with it that way, but not bad. Okay. The next thing we're trying, I'm so excited. I found this at Walmart and it's actually just the great value brand. It is a ramen flavored snack mix. I always check out their different trail mixes and stuff they have. They've got some good options and this one really caught my eye. First of all, because it had edamame in it. That's what I saw first, but it's got ramen pieces, toasted corn, sesame sticks, peanuts, cashews, soybeans, edamame, and ramen flavor seasoning. Sounds really good. And the little ramen pieces are just like these little things of noodles. It looks so good. And it looks super seasoned. For the serving of a quarter cup, it's five points on Weight Watchers, 160 calories, nine grams of fat, 13 carbs, two grams of fiber, two grams of sugar, and five grams of protein. So a quarter cup serving isn't huge. That's usually what the serving size is for like trail mixes and stuff like that. Especially when they have like peanuts and cashews. Can't get that open. Smells like peanuts. Yeah, it does. Okay. We got to get a little bit of everything. It looks like all the little noodle pieces are on top. Right, which normally I feel like it's the opposite. So yeah, this is what I'm most excited about is these little ramen noodle things. Cheers. Cheers. Three, two, one. I keep raking everything high. Oh wow. Three and a half. I give it a four and a half. I really like the flavor. It's not like overpowering. You probably wanted more flavor. Yeah. That's always what it is when we have a discrepancy with our points, I swear. I really like the edamame in there, the sesame sticks. Like it's a really good combination of all the different things that I like in like my trail mix and mixes. But then the little like things are a bonus. I like those. I'll say I really like the little noodle things. I just didn't get a lot of flavor throughout the whole thing. I like the Great Value snack mixes and I feel like I've had better ones. That's also what I was kind of reading it towards. Honestly, I feel like that's why I don't like them most of the time is that they're too like salty and over the top. And this one isn't like that. When I actually, when I was at the store, I debated getting it because I was like, oh, I feel like it's going to be so salty. Yeah, but it actually is like the perfect amount of seasoning for me. I really like this. I wish that all the noodles weren't at the top. It needs to be mixed together better, but the other stuff's all heavier. But I have like the aftertaste of ramen in my mouth. It feels like I just ate ramen soup. Also, as I keep drinking this, the combination of the orange and vanilla is like perfect dream school. It's really good. I honestly could feel like I needed caffeine. Once you're on it at the beginning, this is perfect. Okay. Moving on to some sweet snacks. I got a lot of these at Walmart today. So pretty easy to remember where I got everything. These were from Walmart. We've tried a few products from and we usually like them. I feel like they're kind of just like average, nice, like, oh, type products that we liked, like the little balls and stuff like that. Like dense things. Anyway, this was a new product that I saw. They are organic baked oat cups. And this flavor is apple crumble. They also had a banana chocolate chip. I couldn't decide which one, but I went with the apple crumble. There are five in here. They're not gluten free, which we specifically don't have any like dietary restrictions, but I do get a lot of questions about different options. So we're always on the lookout for different things that are not free, gluten free, dairy free, stuff like that. Lactose free, I guess. So for one of these oat cups, it's five points on Weight Watchers, 140 calories, six grams of fat, 22 carbs, three grams of fiber, eight grams of sugar, and two grams of protein. I was also kind of thinking what if these are like Bobo's, although they really just, unless the picture is just muffins, I'm wondering, they don't look like muffins. I don't know. They come individually wrapped, although this looks like probably half the size of the Quest one. Although that's more for protein. This has two grams of protein. With this, I was thinking maybe like a pre-gym snack. It really does just look like a muffin. No, Bobo. It's like soft. Oh yeah. It looks more like a muffin than like a oatmeal bite. Although, okay, it's kind of falling apart a little on the paper. Okay. That came apart when I cut it. Okay. I tried to cut it in half for us and it kind of crumbled. So it's a little crumbly. It smells like apple cinnamon. Let's see. Cheers. Three, two, one, five. Four. I actually really like those. I wish, I mean like five points isn't bad for the size because it is about the same size as a Bobo and Bobo's are six, but they have like the filling in them. But that would be so perfect for me just like before the gym, a quick bite. It has date paste in it and you can kind of taste it, but I like it. I was wondering what it was sweetened with because it doesn't have like an artificial sweetener taste to it. It's got the date paste you can taste and it's pretty strong apple. Like the spice to it is pretty good, but it's a little bit strong. I really like it. Yeah. I think it tastes really good. I gave it a four. I don't know. I feel like I've had stuff that's similar, but a little bit better for like similar or less points. And like comparing it to the Bobo is tough because it's just so good. Yeah, I would definitely have that before the gym or something like that. Yeah. I was going to say with the Bobo's, they are a little bit on the dry side, even though I like them so much, they are a little bit dry. And sometimes even in the morning, I'm like, ah, it's a little bit dry for me. This, I thought when I cut it and it was all crumbly, it was going to be super dry. And it was actually like a moist muffin. Like it really does have a nice texture and consistency to it. I kind of want to try the other flavors now. I know there is banana chocolate chip and I swear there is one more. So hopefully they have a blueberry lemon one because that's my favorite muffin. Yeah. And it's got three grams of fiber in it, which is nice. Two grams of protein. So not really for the protein, but I don't know. I really like it. Yeah. It had a good little like crumble on top. Yeah. It was good. Okay. The next sweet thing that we are going to be trying every time they come out with a new flavor, we have to try them. These are the planters nut duos. And I want to say again, I got these at Walmart. They are salted caramel flavored almonds and vanilla bean cashews. Sounds so delicious. I don't know. I still can't decide whether I like more of like the sweet or savory nuts when I go through phases with different types. I usually lean towards more of the salty and savory, I feel like, but who knows? Let's see how these are because salted caramel. Yeah, I was going to say that's kind of right up your alley. The cashews are vanilla bean and the almonds are salted caramel. Cheers. Three, two, one, four, five. It needs more flavor. What? See, when it comes to the salty things, it's like over the top flavor and you always want more. And then when it comes to the sweet things, I'm like, I need more sweetness. I forgot to read all the information really quickly though. So for this serving of a quarter cup, it's six points on Weight Watchers, 180 calories, 13 grams of fat, 11 carbs, two grams of fiber, five grams of sugar, and five grams of protein. So nuts are a good source of protein and fiber. It is nice to incorporate them, although they are higher point. Six points for this is kind of high. Not actually for nuts. It's just like for a sweet snack, it's kind of high is what I mean. Yeah. But they are something healthy that it's worth incorporating. So we like to use Weakly's for them. Like I said, I just think that it could use some extra flavor. I feel like I didn't really taste the salted caramel that much. It was more vanilla. I feel like, yeah, the vanilla bean was definitely more prominent, but I really liked the combination of both. That's tough, but honestly, like it depends on the situation. I might like those better than the Buffalo ones. Oh really? Okay, no. I think Buffalo Ranch or something, but it's so different when you're eating sweet and salty. I know, that's what I'm saying. It's all situational, like what I want, but like that was really good. But in general, these duos are so good. They have so many flavors and I just love how it's like lightly coated, but like fully coated. Like it's not over the top. I guess that shows better, but it's not like over the top season, but it also is like fully seasoned. It's like, ah, it's on it, but it's not like the bold ones where it's like all in the fingers. Yeah. For a sweet option. I really do like these. Yeah. Those are really cool. Okay. Next up we're trying a Bilt Bar Puff flavor. So I always have people recommending these to me. He's a Bilt Bar hater. I took it out to me. Yeah. We mentioned it every time we try a Bilt Bar, which we haven't tried in a long time, but we, in the start of our weight loss journey, when we started Weight Watchers in 2020, everybody was like Bilt Bars, Bilt Bars. So we used to get them and actually we really liked them. We really did though. We really liked the coconut ones, burned ourselves out so badly. They also had some bad quality issues that really kind of grossed us out and just like ruined them for us for a while. And then we did start having some more puffs and liked them, but it was just the banana ones I really liked. And then the coconut ones were okay, but it was just like reminiscent of, yeah. Yeah. It was just like when you taste something you've had before that you didn't like every time. Yeah. So anyway, I still always like to give them a try because who knows, maybe we'll find one that we really like. And they are a nice source of protein. These ones specifically are five points for a bar on Weight Watchers. They're 150 calories, two and a half grams of fat, 14 carbs, six grams of sugar, and 17 grams of protein. They're made with a collagen protein blend. Let's go ahead and give them a try. I want to see the size of them for five points. This is what they look like. So the box comes with four bars in it and you love peanut butter. So let's see. We keep doing flavors that you think I love and I'm just hoping that this one is good. So this is what it looks like. Yeah. We tried the cookie dough one and it wasn't bad, I don't think, but we didn't like that there wasn't enough cookie dough. Like it was just like two chunks on it. This one looks nice and spaced out with the peanut butter. You can see, right? The inside is just that like gelatin type. Ready? Ready. Cheers. Cheers. Three, two, one. Four and a half. Four and a half. I thought you were going to give it a five. I was very close. Yeah. I knew it. I knew the peanut butter one would get you. I think I figured out what the issue was. It's the chocolate coating that would get to me. Oh, you like the peanut butter? The peanut butter coating was so good. The chocolate coating, I feel like it's like a Barebells chocolate. That's what I'm saying is I feel like that with the gelatin mix is like what brings back the bad memories. Like that's okay. That's like a completely different bar. Well, if any bar was dipped in that peanut butter like that, we would like it. Like I really like that coating. It tastes like the inside of a Reese's, like it's got the nice sweetness, peanut butter taste to it. The inside was like nice and soft. It was like you had to chew for a while, but it was nothing like what their normal bars are, which do they still make the normal bars or have they just like switched to puffs? I feel like I only see the puffs anymore and everybody always talks about how they like the puffs more. It honestly tasted like a peanut butter, like marshmallow. Yeah. Which is what everyone says the puffs are like. Cause the, um, the coconut ones people say it tastes like the like Easter egg ones that are chocolate. Yeah. Way, way better than, Oh, it literally says soft marshmallowy texture. Oh, okay. Aftertaste free, thanks to a premium blend of collagen and whey proteins, craveable flavor. Best one we've tried by far. Yeah, I agree. That it was good. You can kind of taste the collagen at the end, but nothing like what the thicker bars were like the regular belt bars. Cause that one too, you kind of would taste like that collagen. We would say gelatin, but I feel like it's the collagen. Yeah. I don't know. Yeah. The peanut butter coating is good. It was very good. Yeah. I think the hardest thing about not giving it a five is like comparing it to other bars that are five points, like ready bars. I can't really compare this. So this one might grow on me more though. I really did like the peanut butter. I could see having that as a dessert. Yeah. And we used to microwave though. That's what I was going to say. I think this melted down like on top of yogurt or something. Like a s'more. Oh wait, that would actually work as a s'more. I think people have done that before. I've probably seen that, but okay. All right. Best built bar puff we've tried. And I feel like there's a few other flavors I've had on my radar, but they didn't have them at Walmart. I was surprised to see they had this one. All right. Well, we're going to broaden our horizons. Okay. Now you're not a hater anymore. I'm not a full hater, just a partial hater. Okay. The last thing we're trying is something that I've been really excited about since I saw them post about it on Instagram as a new product. So I made a trip to Juul to go look for them and I found them right away. They're the Boar's Head Greek Yogurt Dessert Dips. So we've got key lime here. I had to get for Adam. I was going to just get one of them. And then I was like, okay, well he's going to want key lime. I kind of want churro. So we're going to have to try both of these. Yeah. Right. Churro sounds good too. My first thought was using them as like an apple dip or something. Although it says graham crackers and fruit. So even like strawberries, stuff like that might be good with that, but we're going to go ahead and give these a try. For the serving of two tablespoons, there are two points on Weight Watchers, 40 calories, two and a half grams of fat, four carbs, three grams of sugar, and two grams of protein. So both the same. They have a little bit of protein in them for the fact they're a Greek yogurt dip, but I mean, two tablespoons. I feel like that's how much proteins in two tablespoons of Greek yogurt. Okay. Right away opening it. I really do smell yogurt. Yes. Very strong yogurt smell. And honestly, it kind of smells like the peanut butter, cinnamon yogurt dip that I make to dip my apples in. Although this looks a little bit more like thick and creamy. It's probably like full fat Greek yogurt, maybe. I don't know, but smells like cinnamon and Greek yogurt. Today, we're just going to be trying them with some graham crackers. So go ahead and give the churro a try. Cheers. Cheers. Yogurt and key lime. Okay. So now we've got the key lime dip. I guess I'm just dipping this one in this time. I spread it on last time. Three, two, one, four and a half and three. I didn't really like the key lime that much. Five? Five or both. Yeah. Okay. The cinnamon is really good. Yeah. It's very strong cinnamon. The only thing is it's very similar to the one I make. So I feel like. I don't have that one that often, so I'm not really used to it. True. The key lime is just like too lime for me. It's like over the top lime. It's perfect. Because with the graham crackers, it's like a harsh lime and then the graham crackers kind of cut a little bit. That's true. But I do think, yeah, maybe like with an apple dipped in or strawberry or something like I said, that'd be nice with like a little fruit plate. I could add it to a snack plate too. You don't have to. Grapes. Grapes would be good in the key lime. True. Yeah. It's not bad. It's just it's a little strong. I know. I know. I wasn't expecting it. It was like kind of sour at first and I think it's the combination of the greek yogurt with the key lime that I didn't like. It was a little over the top but. Because like that works and it's like you said you could smell the greek yogurt from the cinnamon churro one but then when you taste it like you get that perfect cinnamon taste with it. I definitely like the key lime better but I'm giving both fives because I would give the key lime like a nine or ten. Okay. Well that wraps up everything that we're trying today. Did I give anything a five today? That? I don't think I did. I mean honestly everything was really good. There was nothing too bad. The key lime was probably my least favorite thing. The queso was just like what I expected. Although that was your five. Yeah. Yeah. I had a lot of fives. Surprisingly these. We had a lot of fives. Yeah. Wait. Oh no. What did you do? Four and a half. Okay. Okay. But didn't. What did. Also wait. The muffins. That's what I was trying to point at. Okay. Everything was really great today honestly and most of these things I just got from Walmart. We've been very excited to try these though so. Yeah. We have now. Mostly the dips and now I'm more open to try more of those built bars so leave any recommendations if you guys like the built bar puffs specifically or let me know do they even still make the regular bars? I don't know but we'll have to look into more of those built bar puffs. Okay I hope you guys enjoyed this and found it helpful. If you did please go ahead and give it a like and subscribe to my channel. I really appreciate it. Hype it up too. Let's go. Thank you so much for watching and we'll see you next time. Bye.
