So spend a little time over on my website It's a great place to be with lots of great information You're also going to find links and discount codes to all of my other favorite products and the link to head over and join Me on Facebook. We'd love to have you be part of that community as well So I'm hungry and we have lots to taste test So let's jump in going to taste test the enlightened products so that I can get these back in my freezer I am going to let the cheesecake sit out while we taste test the cookie dough bites So that they can become a little softer at room temperature for me to taste them So I want to start first with the cookie dough bite So I have five different flavors of the enlightened keto cookie dough bites now These are keto designated products, but lucky for us. They are Rww friendly so there are two and a half servings per bag and they range in calories from about 90 to 110 per serving There are 24 bites in the serving So that's a lot of cookie dough bites and again they range from three to four smart points per serving So I will put up on the screen when we taste test each flavor the number of points So let's try the peanut butter first. So this is the peanut butter snackable straight from the bag cookie dough bites So here is what the little cookie dough bites look like. Oh my gosh, they smell and look so good Huh, it's definitely peanut butter So let's give one of these a try and again you get 24 of these for the smart points Those are really good Definite peanut butter peanut butter front and center which I love and then there are little mini chocolate chips Even in that little cookie dough bite there were chocolate chips. This is really really delicious. So I want to go over Some carbon information with you as well as some ingredient information So basically they're saying that these bites per serving are two net carbs. Now. I don't know if that's the same Yeah, it looks like that's the same for all of the cookie dough bites Now they do have some questionable ingredients or some not clean ingredients is probably a better way to say that So there is allulose in here is a sweetener now. That's a naturally derived sweetener from figs and raisins So that's a good option. There's also urethra tall four grams in this particular one Which is about a teaspoon so that's not too bad as well You do want to limit your sugar alcohols to about 10 to 15 grams per day So we don't want to eat the whole bag, but in a serving we're good There is natural flavor in here which aka is artificial flavor And other than that it doesn't look too bad for ingredients So you are having some sugar alcohols. That's how they keep the calories and points so low But this peanut butter one 10 out of 10 next we're going to try the fudge bite So these ones are 90 calories also two net carbs and again similar ingredients We I still see natural flavors and they also have four grams of urethra tall. So I'm excited for these Ooh, they smell very very chocolatey. So here is what they look like Wow Those are good. It's little bits of fudge. It literally tastes like fudge. Wow Really really good. Also 10 out of 10 I also have my water here to cleanse my palate Next are the birthday cake now I'm excited for these because I love everything birthday cake 90 calories four grams of urethra tall two net carbs They better have sprinkles because this package has sprinkles. Oh, they do So here is what it looks like. I don't know if you guys can see The little sprinkles in there, but they do have the little birthday sprinkles Like I said, I'm excited for these because I love everything birthday cake But a lot of things birthday cake flavor don't taste like birthday cake. So here's to hoping these do I see you these definitely taste like birthday cake. They're really really good Now I do like the peanut butter and the fudge better, but I would give these about an eight out of 10 I will say that I do taste the cooling effect of the urethra tall a little more in these for some reason I don't know. It's the same four grams as the other two I guess I just taste it a little bit more in this one, but it's still really really good And I don't think that I mentioned That these are also gluten-free. So if you don't eat gluten, this is a great little dessert option So I would give these eight out of 10 Next up are the snicker doodle again two net carbs four grams of urethra tall Pretty standard 90 calories in these ones. So I'm hoping That these are cinnamony because that's what I just love about snicker doodles is the cinnamon I wonder okay, so they look a lot like the birthday cake. So they don't I don't see cinnamon in there That doesn't mean it's not there. Let's try it. It's good, but it doesn't taste snicker doodle I taste zero spice zero cinnamon to me. It tastes like just plain cookie dough, which isn't a bad thing I mean it tastes good. It just definitely isn't as cinnamony as I was hoping So I would say because of that I would rate these about a six out of 10 Last up for the cookie dough bites is just the chocolate chip two net carbs four grams of urethra tall 90 calories Now I'm hoping that these oh, yes, I see chocolate chips. I'm excited for that So I hope that I get cookie dough and chocolate Those are good. It is cookie dough all the way. I mean it tastes like you're eating Chocolate chip cookie dough you're baking homemade cookies and you're eating the dough That's what this tastes like again a little mini chocolate chips Same ones that were in the peanut butter. These are really really good 10 out of 10 So those are the five flavors of the enlightened cookie dough bites I'm going to pop these back in my freezer and then we are going to taste test the cheese cakes But I would highly recommend these. I have not seen these in my store So please leave a comment down below if you have found these in store and what store you found these at But I will make sure that I link them down below off of the enlightened website with 10 off for you Next we are going to try all of the enlightened cheese cakes We have five cheesecake flavors now. These are a little bit more point heavy a little bit more calorie heavy I do want to take a look at the ingredients. Here's kind of what they look like. This is the pumpkin cheesecake And let me actually let's pull it out Let's look at the cheesecake first and then let's go over the ingredients So when you get it it comes in this little cup here And I have let these sit out while we taste tested the cookie dough bite So they're a little bit soft, but this is what the Cheesecake looks like in the little cup. I would say it's filled to about there Smells really good. So let's go over The calories and the ingredients and then we'll taste test all of these. So again, this is the pumpkin It's 210 calories for the one cheesecake. There's eight grams of your rithwar tall So a little more sugar alcohol about two teaspoons and they're saying two net carbs as far as ingredients goes Which I'm assuming is going to be the same amongst all of these minus the flavoring component There is natural flavor. There is cornstarch, which obviously is not non-gmo And it is with your rithwar tall and allulose again But what I'm most disappointed about is that there's carrageenan in here So I do not eat carrageenan because it's an inflammatory Now I am going to try these for the sake of this video, but I'm going to give these all to my husband I just choose not to ingest carrageenan So again, I'll try all these out. Let you know my opinion If you don't care about the ingredients or carrageenan and these are delicious Then I would highly highly recommend them. So let's dive in. We're first going to try pumpkin. All right pumpkin cheesecake It's good. I taste pumpkin I get cheesecake and I also get this taste of butter, which is not a bad thing It's just that creamy taste of butter. This is really really delicious I just wish it didn't have carrageenan in it. If you don't know what carrageenan is besides it being an inflammatory It's an emulsifier. So it's what's going to thicken things. So it's probably what's used to thicken up the cheesecake But I would say this is really good I would rate this ingredients aside a 10 out of 10 next We are going to try just the very clean classic cheesecake This one is also 210 calories two net carbs and eight grams of your rift for tall Pretty much the same ingredients as in the pumpkin cheesecake I'll show you guys what this one looks like and then we'll taste it So here is what the classic cheesecake looks like and here we go Let's see if this is as good as the pumpkin one I like that it has this little like whipped creamy looking thing on top Maybe that's where that buttery flavor comes in. Nonetheless, let's try it Whipped cream looking thing on top is definitely where that buttery flavor is coming This one's really good as well. It tastes like real legit cheesecake And what is surprising to me is I don't taste the cooling effect of the urethra tall Which is interesting because there's double the urethra tall in these then in the cookie dough bites and in the birthday cake One for example, I tasted more urethra tall They did a good job disguising it this again really good 10 out of 10 We are now going to try the classic chocolate cheesecake This one same everything 210 calories eight grams of your rift for tall two net carbs Let's see what it looks like. I'm excited because it's chocolate So there is your chocolate cheesecake. Let's try it. Cheers Yum My favorite so far. It's a very rich in chocolate flavor like the chocolate just is front and center You guys this is really really delicious Now I would take the points for these because it's a very indulgent dessert now mine was still pretty frozen I would definitely leave yours out on the counter a little bit longer so that it becomes more of a consistency of cheesecake This one 10 out of 10 my favorite so far. The next one is caramel chocolate cheesecake. Yes, please Same everything. Oh 220 calories 10 calories more still the eight grams of your rift for tall the two net carbs Let's take a look at what it looks like. I like how they're individually Portioned because it's hard to overeat when they're in individual little cups, but this one is cute So it looks like caramel cheesecake with the chocolate chips on top. Here's hoping for lots of caramel incredible This is hands down my favorite. I know I said that about the chocolate so good It is creamy rich caramel with a little bit of chocolate. This is so good I was kind of looking at the back of this And it says that you can do a quick microwave thaw if you throw it in on high for 10 seconds You can do a room temperature thaw for 20 to 30 minutes or thaw in your refrigerator for 30 to 45 So I just haven't let them thaw enough, but you can't These are incredible. I'm not gonna lie Not gonna lie last cheesecake. I'm really excited about this is strawberry cheesecake One of everything I want to show you we haven't eaten an entire one So we haven't gotten to the bottom But it looks like there is the cheesecake crust on the bottom of all of these as well So all of the boxes kind of show that same like crust along the bottom So this one is the lowest calorie lowest point of all of them. This one is 180 calories There are still two net carbs, but this one actually has one more gram of urethra tall Which is probably having off the calories a little bit lower This one has nine grams of urethra tall, but points wise not bad at all for a full-sized dessert And this looks really good. Oh look at this It is like strawberry with cheat. Oh yum Wow Another winner 10 out of 10 for all of these cheesecakes. This is so good It definitely tastes like real strawberries like you smashed some strawberries up Popped them on top of the cheesecake. I am incredibly impressed with the cheesecakes I'm incredibly impressed with the cookie dough bites Enlightened knocks it out of the park once again So now that we've gotten to try all the cookie dough bites and cheesecakes and they were winner winner chicken dinner We're gonna try the two flavors of barbells that I picked up at trader joe's now These were dollar 99 apiece. This one is the caramel cashew. This is the cookies and cream I'll put the points here on the screen for these They are 200 calories each. Let's take a look at the ingredient label So as I expected not the best ingredients there is malatoll in here, which Malatoll it also can cause stomach upset when eating in large amounts They're sucralose aka splenda not my favorite natural and artificial flavors and sunflower oil Which is a really highly processed oil that I try not to eat as well But but but but everything in moderation. There is no good food and no bad food Everything in moderation So I'm excited to try these because I have heard nothing but good things So first one up is caramel cashew. So here is what that looks like. Oh, here's what the bar looks like Oh, you guys that looks good. Here we go. Cheers Now I definitely taste the chocolate And it tastes like real chocolate. I will say that the caramel cashew center of the bar This kind of like caramely here doesn't have much flavor honestly I really taste the chocolate and then I get a little bit of the nuttiness It's okay. I probably wouldn't repurchase it number one ingredient wise and Number two, I think that there's a lot better options for points wise for protein bars I don't hate it, but I probably wouldn't repurchase this flavor I would rate this six out of ten and lastly We're going to try the barbell in cookies and cream and here's what it looks like So it looks like little cookie dough bits instead of the nut I didn't mention these do have 20 grams of protein, which is awesome. So Let's try this one. Ooh, it smells good. Cheers Before we get into my review Duh Jen they're called bear bells Not barbells bear bells this one. I like it better Those little cookie dough pieces that you saw on the outside are nice and crunchy. It definitely tastes like cookie dough I like this one better. I think this one definitely has more flavor So I would purchase the cookies and cream again not eat it regularly, but I would definitely repurchase this So out of the two I would go with the cookies and cream, but I recommend that you try all of these products for yourself We all have different taste buds. So you may love the ones I hate You may hate the ones I love so I highly recommend trying all these out yourself Again, I am going to link them all down in the description box below So I hope you guys enjoyed this video a real live honest review first time taste testing these products And hopefully you pick a few of these up for yourself Again, they will be linked down below along with my nutrition coaching website My facebook group links and discount codes to all of my other tried and true favorite things And if you are new, I'd love for you to join my channel I'd love to have you make sure you subscribe and your bell notification is turned on If you like taste test videos, give this one a big thumbs up Comment down below.
