OneTang Freeze-Dried Banana

Really more like NoTang, but that's OK. It's my birthday, blog! But I'm working a double (ie 16hrs) today, and I got rejected from a conference, and my parents want to visit tomorrow. And I have a headache!! So I enjoyed these frozen bananas in the spirit they were intended: sadly. Actually, they're fine, and as frozen fruits go, I like bananas pretty well. Plus there's a decent amount in here, comparatively. But you might recall I'm a bit sketched by this company's allergy info, so it's best to avoid it. Too bad I keep getting em in the mail. Anyway, tomorrow's another day! Hope you're feeling better than me, blog fans.

That's it. Crunchables Organic Apple

I know "That's it" refers to the ingredient list, but for me, the amount of food in the package also made me say the name. It is a very small amount in there, and the individual pieces are also very small. They're also firm... I guess it's better than dried chips in a way, but in a way, it's also not. I guess this is a good topping for yogurt or something, but I didn't have any such things.

utz White Cheddar Popcorn

This says nut free right on there! Aww! I was a little confused by this, though, because I remember utz popcorn being orange. Is this the same one? It could very well be, but I still prefer the orange version, I think. Nevertheless solid -- you know, it tastes like cheddar popcorn does.

Birds Eye Oven Roasters - Brussels Sprouts & Carrots

The big downside to the Oven Roasters line is that I gotta use the oven. And right now, my oven is very into "setting off the smoke alarm", if you know what I mean. So, that was a stressful 30 minutes. But other than that, and the fact that this is ten servings and I am one girl (although I ate 5 now, 5 later), I enjoyed it. The brussels are mostly salt-pepper-cooked and the carrots weren't as carroty or as sweet as I feared, they stayed fairly savory. Filling and I guess there's fiber in it at least!



Overall
Cost: 5/10 (although I bought 'em on super sale 9/10!)

Allergy Smart Birthday Cake Cookies

This company knows how to make a tasty allergen free cookie! I guess you could say they really are....allergy smart. Actually they do do one annoying thing, which is they have "vegetable juice" on the label, and it's like, would it kill you to say which vegetable? Cause it might kill me if you don't. But I assume it's never PEA JUICE (which sounds gross even without an allergy), and indeed, I died not. But anyway, they do have this one flaw. Otherwise, these are very crumbly, but they taste just like butter, sugar, and a little vanilla: no nasty artificial ""cake"" flavor at all. Tasty! But probably really bad for you. Nevertheless, very cute little cookies.

Kettle Brand Air Fried JalapeƱo Chips

These are good chips! They basically taste the same as the non-air-fried version, which is a good thing. Spicy, pleasant. I like chips with a taste that isn't simply "chip". Huzzah!

Strawberry Milkshake Frosted Flakes

Yo, the milk from these genuinely tastes exactly like a strawberry milkshake!! Pretty impressive. I do like a strawberry milkshake. The actual cereal is kind of just 'whatever'; some strawberry flavoring on regular frosted flakes, but the milk is clutch.
