Day 30. Try Outs!

If your wondering about today’s title, it’s not about me trying out for some team, audition or anything, but exploring my taste buds and discovering some more low carb products. First up I tried another product from the Atkins range. If you’ve been following my progress you might remember on Day 18 I had my first Atkins treat the “Atkins Advantage Chocolate & Hazelnut Crunch Bar”. Well today I tested the Atkins Chocolate Decadence version instead.

I have to admit its almost identical to the Hazelnut bar in everyway (as far as texture and size is concerned) but obviously without the nutty (Hazelnut) flavor ;o) Both bars are very chewy, not quite like eating a milk chocolate bar, but enjoyable all the same. The best thing is though, they’re a very fulfilling treat, plus knowing that you can eat them and still lose weight is always a bonus :oP

The second product I tried was a Low Carb Strawberry Milkshake and yum this was sooooo nice :oP Its part of the low carb Tesco range, so if your in the UK and wondering where I got it from, now you know. I was expecting it to taste very similar to the normal milkshakes I make from whey protein, however I was pleasantly surprised. The shake had a very smooth sweet refreshing strawberry taste. The downside to it though, was its not very cheap at £1 a carton. Still I will no doubt buy another one soon.

The third product I tried was Aspartame Free, Diet Coke Cola. I don’t know about all you, but every now and then I really like to enjoy a soft drink or two, BUT with most diet soft drinks it’s extremely difficult to find a drink which is aspartame free unless you go for non diet fizzy drinks, but that would defeat the point in the first place right. Anyhow my dad buys this drink from ASDA supermarket a lot. So I tried it, and I must say it’s not all that bad either. Just so you know the aspartame is substituted with the sucrelose sweetener instead.

So there you go a few new alternatives you can check out. If you have any cool suggestions, recommendations or ideas of alternative foods, please let me know am always happy to hear them.
