Another product to review:
* Weight Loss Systems Pudding & Shake Hazelnut Cocoa Cream-
I would give this 3 stars- average. I made it as a shake and it was decent. I would like to try it as a pudding to see if it is better. I thought the that nutty flavor overpowered the cocoa flavor. However, it was smooth and not chalky at all. I am still on the fence if I would order this again. I will keep you posted as I give it another try sometime soon.

ProtiDiet Protein Bar- Hazelnut: This is a very good bar. The flavoring reminds me a bit of Ferrero Rocher chocolates. It is a "chewy" bar. I wish there were a bit more "crispies" in it. But all in all, I give this a thumbs up. I would definitely buy these again.

I am hooked on Proti-Thin Protein Wafer Squares - Dark Chocolate. They have a few more calories than a bar, so I limit them to only a couple times a week. Also, Proti-Thin Sweet Roll Mix - Chocolate Chip. It's not restricted, so is a go to for breakfast a lot.
The cocomint pudding sounds great. Will be ordering some. I do like to make shakes with the puddings (well, except the cheesecake - good as pudding). I jazz them up with different flavors, too.

Enjoy hearing what everyone has tried.

I just tried the sweet roll last night. I was really hesitant because I really cannot stand when things taste like fake flavoring and the roll mix smelled like fake Carmel, but much to my surprise it was REALLY good! And SUPER filling. It felt like such a big treat, but wasn't. YUM!
Proti diet -maple and brown sugar oatmeal-delicious and unrestricted!
Proti diet-blueberry pancake - very good, especially with Waldron farms syrup
Simply bars-very good. No malitol
I mainly use ip products, but was looking for some unrestricted alternatives and bars with no malitol as it does not agree with me.
What makes the oatmeal unresticted? What makes anything unrestricted?
Thanks.

Been on IP for 3 weeks and minus 12
It's the carb count mostly I think. IP seems to count up to 10 carbs as an unrestricted.
I got the oatmeal cookie as a sample too. Very tasty. But I wouldn't order them because I think it had 200 calories and I would be tempted to eat one everyday if I had a box of them.
re the sweet roll, They are very good for breakfast but I baked the first one at the temp and time given on the box and it was hard as a rock on the outside. I turned the temp down after that and they were much better. I can't rmember what the suggested temp was because I haven't had them in a while.
In the time since I started this thread, I have tried a few more items. All of the alternatives were ordered from Nashua.
- Healthsmart Protein Bar- Peanut Butter. Awesome! Very Reese's like.
- Weightloss Systems Cocomint Cream (aspartame free) shake & pudding. Delish! I made it as a shake and it was great. The chocolate was smooth tasting and there was just enough mint. This will be a staple for me.
- ProtiDiet Shake Chocolate- excellent substitute for IP chocolate drink (powder).
I did order a few more new things, so I will post as have a review.
I agree I had the peanut butter bar today and thought it was awesome! I received my first order from Nashua today. I ordered 18 different products so will let you know how they are as I work my way through them. I am still using IP and use alternates at times. I have also tried the Proti snax chocolate chip sweet roll. It was good and I think not restricted? It was good with my morning coffee. Proti-diet apple cinnamon oatmeal good, and not restricted. Had the Proti-diet pizza last night. It was just okay. I added veggie pepperoni to it. Not sure if that pizza is restricted or not.
I'm on phase one and wanted to save a little money so I ordered alternative products after reading comments on the forum. I got my order yesterday, here is what I had up until now...the rest with come soon ;-)
HealthSmart Hot Chocolate - Variety Pack - I tried the Amaretto one yesterday night before bedtime and I really liked it. Proti-Thin Protein Wafer Squares - Mocha - I really liked it - felt like a real treat. Restricted one so only on special occasion ;-) I worked out this morning so I deserved it - eheh ;-) ProtiDiet Liquid Concentrate - Grape : really tastes like Welsh's grape juice. I had this prior to workout and it worked out just fine. Thought it would be great for when we go hiking or on a bike ride. ProtiDiet Cereal - Chocolate Soy : I tasted them while DH was following a similar program. That was his favorite snack at night :-) I never used them with milk, only as dry snack
Reviews to come:
HealthSmart Oatmeal - Apples n' Cinnamon
HealthSmart Protein Bar - Caramel Crunch
HealthSmart Protein Bar - Peanut Butter - Jenny, with your review...I can't wait to try these ;-)
HealthSmart Protein Cookie - Oatmeal Raisin with Icing
HealthSmart Smoothie - Aloha Mango
Proti-Thin Dinner - Vegetable Chili

Great idea to have this post ;-) Have a great long week-end!
I look forward to hearing more of your reviews. I count on them to help me with orders. Thanks
Do you count the wafer bar as restricted?

I agree, the sweet roll is good for breakfast and a nice change.

I baked mine on convection setting 400 for about 10 minutes and it worked well.

So sad I can't eat the sweet roll, it sounds so good. I am wheat intolerant, so those, pizza's, wafers are all no-no's for me
Health Smart Smoothie Strawberry Banana-
This was ok. I rated it 3 stars on Nashua. The banana flavoring is a little too fake for me. I made it in a blender with ice to try and get the "smoothie" consistancy. I probably will not order it again, unless I find some way to doctor it up and it becomes good. I would stick to the strawberry drink from Proti-Thin.
Also, not sure if you guys do this, but I always make sure I rate the items I have purchased and tried on Nashua. I know seeing the reviews that others had taken the time to write on there helped very much in my selections. In addition to what is on this site, of course Especially when it came to wanting to try new things. This is how I found the chocomint pudding and shake. And it will now become a staple!
WF marshmallow topping is really gross. That's my public service message.
I'm happy so far with the two WF dressings I've tried. The EAS shakes work well although I agree with someone on a different thread that said the vanilla isn't very good. Also, the SF Amaretto syrup for coffee is very nice. I got the DaVinci one yesterday at a store that caters to restaurants. Mix with Crystal Light Lemonade and I got to have a 100% sin free Amaretto Sour yesterday.
