Review of the Proti Snax Toast Parisien

The promise of a piece of French bread when you are on a low carb diet is what drew me to the Proti Snax Toast Parisien.  I like to make soup out of my veggies (try the Golden Goddess Soup, it's amazing!), so was looking forward to French toast to dip into the soup.

The package comes with 7 small pieces of toast, so a fairly generous portion.  I tried the first bite of the toast without dipping it into the soup  It is definitely crunchy!  A bit of a chalky taste, but not bad.  I tried dipping into the soup, and the toast was almost instantly soggy, which wasn't unexpected.  But again, the chalky taste kept coming through.  I think this is because the toast is quite dry.  A bit of butter, peanut butter, or jam would have been great with it!  I might have to buy some Walden Farms jam to try that out!

Review of Quest Protein Chips - BBQ Flavor

Today was the day I was waiting for: received my order from Quest Nutrition.  Sadly, I had already had my daily restricted product, so the Quest bars will have to wait until tomorrow.

Luckily, I ordered the Protein Chips, which are unrestricted.  I tried the BBQ flavour, since I love BBQ chips.  I was not disappointed!  This was a large bag, which was fantastic.  The chips were really crunchy and airy, and definitely satisfied the need for crunch.  The BBQ flavour was light, but I wanted more of the flavour.  The chips were salty, which was good.  The part that I loved was that there was no protein aftertaste, and the chips didn't get mushy when I started chewing, the crunch remained.  Again, just wished the BBQ flavour was stronger.  However, I can't wait to try the other flavours.
