NutriSystem Desserts - How Do They Taste? Are They Really Good? What Are the Choices?

!±8± NutriSystem Desserts - How Do They Taste? Are They Really Good? What Are the Choices?

I get a lot of questions about NutriSystem's desserts. After all, getting to eat sweets is a big draw of this diet. And, sweets that are low in calories, fats, and carbs are pretty rare in a diet. But, how do they taste? Because what good is getting to eat desserts if they taste like cardboard or if your only choices are a few or undesirable ones? So, in the following article, I'll go over the NutriSystem dessert options, how they taste, and what your choices are.

Cakes: There are a couple of cake choices. These include the golden pound cake and the chocolate. Now, when I say cake, I don't mean the round, two layer variety. You don't get an entire, big round thing like you would on your birthday. You basically get a slice. The portions are small, but decent enough. And the taste is not too bad at all, although I prefer the golden. No, there's no icing on these. But, what do you expect? Its a diet. And, I'm just happy I'm getting to have my cake and eat it too.

NutriSystem Cookies: There are a few varieties here including chocolate chip, double chocolate almond, oatmeal raisin, peanut butter, and white chocolate chunk. You know how some dietetic cookies have a cardboard like texture and they crumble horribly and make your mouth dry so that you feel like you can never get enough milk? These are not that bad and there isn't that fake sugar aftertaste. I find the chocolate chunk too strong tasting (a chocolate cookie with chocolate chips added in is overkill, in my opinion.) but, the white chocolate is my favorite. It has a nice, nutty, but sweet flavor.

NutriSystem Protein Bars And Candy Bars: There are two types of bars here. Basically, there is a granola, protein bar type option that comes in the following flavors: chocolate nougat with peanuts and caramel (kind of like snickers); chocolate delight (kind of like 3 musketeers); strawberry shortcake (kind of like a strawberry granola bar); chocolate peanut butter (kind of like Reece's); and blueberry lemon. (This one is my favorite. It is so light, fresh, and indulgent and is unique and different.)

In terms of the candy bar type options, there is a chocolate crunch bar (like Nestle's crunch) and a chocolate mint (like Andee's candies.)

Biscotti: I am very fond of the biscotti. If you've ever had Starbucks biscotti, you know that this is a crunchy, but sort of light treat that often has a nutty taste. There is an almond option and a chocolate macadamia nut. Both are very good, but I like the almond better.

NutriSystem Brownies: There are two choices here but both of them are chocolate. One is more of a chewy bar type and the other has a liquid center that you microwave. The liquid one tends to get messy and the soft liquid in the middle can be sort of a surprise if you are not expecting it.

Cocoa And Chocolate Pudding: The company also offers cocoa / hot chocolate and a pudding. Both are good, but nothing really different tasting that what you could get at the grocery store. The real difference lies in the fact that the company has somehow removed the excess carbs, sugar, fat and calories, which is a good thing.

Chocolates in the USA

!±8± Chocolates in the USA

USA dominates the market for chocolates as well. A simple chart shows that the maximum chocolates are made in the USA. Countries like Japan, and even Europe, pale in comparison to the amount of chocolates made and the number of chocolate manufacturing companies scattered all over the USA. Companies like Cadbury, Nestle, Hershey's, and Mars etc have had a hold in the chocolate industry for centuries nearly. Chocolate had after all been first discovered in the Central and South America - specifically in Mexico.

The Aztecs have been documented to be the first ones to have begun using chocolate around 1100 BC. As impossible as it sounds, chocolate had been there in our lives since time immemorial. So wouldn't it be obvious for us to consume a chocolate that would not poison us or harm us in any way? The tainted powered milk from China must have left a mark on everyone's mind. So, it is best not to opt for the products that boast of a cheaper price. It is quality what ultimately matters to us. Not the price.

The USA chocolate manufacturing companies take utmost care to make the chocolates using the natural resources, instead of the cheap duplicates easily available in the market. Most of the founders of these famous companies had been hand taught by their family members how to make the perfect chocolate. While certain Swiss brands can give the USA companies, a run for their money, Americans still remain at the top of the chocolate service. Some of the private companies feel that they have no one to account for but themselves. And unless, people are able to find fault with their products their production and manufacturing details would need to be kept under wraps. It is only when questioned by an organization determined to help the welfare of people, would these companies answer them.

Medifast Bars - An Overview Of Taste, Flavors And Nutrition

!±8± Medifast Bars - An Overview Of Taste, Flavors And Nutrition

I've lost over 75 pounds on medifast and I find that many people mistake this as a diet that's made up of mostly protein bars and shakes. Although both are very popular and tasty options, they are only one choice out of many. There are over 70 food choices on this diet. The bars just happen to be one of them.

That said, I understand why the bars are so popular. They are good, filling and extremely convenient. They are also guilt free at only about 150 calories each, with only about 10 grams of sugar, 11 grams of protein, and 5 grams of fiber. Admittedly, the portion size is a bit small at first glance, but they are more filling than you might guess. Here are the flavors available and my take on how they taste:

Chocolate Mint: One of my favorites. These remind me of the Girl Scout Thin Mint cookies. These have more of a crunchy, rather than chewy, taste. I have several of these per week.

Oatmeal Raisin: Many people feel this one taste like oatmeal raisin cookie dough. This one is probably most similar to what you would envision when think of a protein bar, sort of like the Quaker variety. This one has more of a chewy texture.

Lemon Yogurt: I'm not sure where the yogurt comes in here. I don't taste it. I can taste a lot of lemon flavor though, almost like the filling for lemon meringue pie. This bar has more of chewy texture as well.

Chocolate: This is your classic chocolate bar, but it has a crunchy texture which I really like. If I had to compare this to something you might recognize, I'd have to say a nestle crunch bar, mostly because of the texture, but the taste is pretty good too. I believe this is probably most people's favorite.

Fruit And Nut / S'more Granola: These are your typical granola type bars. I don't like granola in general, so these are my least favorite.

Caramel Nut: Again to use the candy bar analogy, this one is a bit like a Twix.

Peanut Butter: This one taste exactly as you might expect. Peanut taste with a crunchy texture. I love it. Also a favorite.

I really do love the medifast bars. They allow me a bit of a dessert or candy indulgence without the guilt.
