Dr. Praegers Black Bean Chipotle Pollock Burgers -- product review

*Disclaimer: I received a free sample of this product in exchange for my review. All opinions expressed are completely mine though.

Unlike the last product that I reviewed for the MyMagazineSharingNetwork (Ripple Greek Yogurt Alternative -- bad, just bad), Dr. Praeger's Black Bean Chipotle Pollock Burgers were super yummy. I was skeptical before I even tried this product. It seems like, for myself at least, frozen seafood product can be a hit or a miss. I like fish and I am trying to eat more of it on a regular basis because it is so good for you. I have tried some other fish "burgers" in the past though and have been disappointed in them. So, when I tried these, I was pleasantly surprised. In fact I scarfed down my whole burger, and not just because I was hungry. It was that good!

Now, I haven't tried any of the other products from Dr. Praeger's, so I can't tell you they are all good. But, based on the Black Bean Chipolte Burgers I would be more than willing to try more of the products. They have other good things going for them besides the great taste though, such as: sustainably caught fish, several gluten free products, good for you ingredients, individual packaging for the burgers, and the list goes on. I would highly recommend Dr. Praeger's products.

Ripple -- product review

*Disclaimer: I received a free sample of this product in exchange for my review. The opinions expressed are all mine.

Thanks to the MyMagazine Sharing Network I have had the opportunity to try and review a lot of great product. And then there was this one. This product review is for Ripple Greek Yogurt Alternative. This may be my first not so positive review.

Fist off, I love Greek yogurt. I eat it often. Ripple Greek Yogurt Alternative is a little different though. Here is a quick overview of the product. It is dairy free (great for people with dairy issues), it has plant based protein (vegan friendly), gluten free, and has the same benefits of Greek yogurt. Those things are all great if you need that in your diet. I however do not require any of those.

Here is the down side (in my opinion at least.) The taste is terrible. Pea protein is the main plant based protein that is used, and you can taste it. This tasted like peas mixed with yogurt. It was not good at all and it let a very unpleasant aftertaste. I tried both the vanilla and strawberry flavor and could not eat a whole container of either one. I tried several bites of the vanilla and just one of the strawberry. I just could not get past the taste.  Ripple is a no-go for me.
