Bariatric Product Reviews

This post was sponsored by Building Blocks Vitamins, which provided product for use in this review. All opinions are those of Bariatric Foodie.  This is La Grande Diva (LGD). Otherwise known as the oldest of my two daughters. I talk about both my daughters a lot around here (the younger one I call “La Petite Diva”). When I started this blog she …

Obligatory Legal Stuff: This post was sponsored by Syntrax products. The blogger was provided product for the purposes of this review. All opinions expressed are solely those of Bariatric Foodie and its representative.  I’m not even going to insult your intelligence by acting like I’ve never tried this protein before this product review, because that would just be untrue. Spoiler Alert: …

For this product review, Foodies, I rode alone. No LPD, no boyfriend, no random neighbor guy down the street. Just me. And 7 protein bars. This was, of course, out of necessity. LPD has been attacked by some horrid strain of germs and is currently under quarantine. (Hey…it’s for the public good!) Random neighbor guy down the street…well I haven’t …

So after my impassioned (and pictorial) story about conducting AmBari Shake Variety Pack product review, I feel like I set the bar kind of high. I’m sorry to disappoint you but this review process wasn’t nearly as eventful! Also in my “post-op zombie apocalypse survival kit” (also known as AmBari Starter Kit) was a variety of protein snacks. Now I …

This is the story of how I, along with La Petite Diva (my youngest daughter, henceforth “LPD”), my boyfriend and a random neighbor guy down the street got drunk off of protein shakes. Yes you read that right. Let me explain. Really if I start at the beginning, this is the story of how Nikki’s crazy life led her to believe …

This post is sponsored by Premier Protein. It is my theory that the 4th of July is a blueberry’s favorite holiday. Why? Because on that day the red/white/blue color combo is just everything — and, really, what other food can you use to play that up? I personally love blueberries, not only for their antioxidant qualities, but because they are a …

They call this weekend the “unofficial” start of summer. Damn that. I’m calling it. It’s summer! I mean after the winter we had? We deserve it. (Unless of course you don’t like summer in which case…sorry…I love it so forgive my obnoxiousness over the next few months.) Raise your hand if the highlight of your summer day as a kid …

Long-time readers…I know what you’re going to say, ok? I KNOW. Yes this is the gamillionty-seventh cheesecake-inspired recipe on this blog. But Google Analytics says 90+% of you reading this have never been to this blog before so…hi. I’m Nikki. And I like cheesecake! But as we all know cheesecake can be fatty and sugary and all sorts of things …

I sorta feel like I’m preaching to the choir about Premier Protein. So many of you already use it! In fact, the sheer number of you who use it prompted me to want to give it another try. I tried the shakes at the very beginning of my post-op life and I liked them well enough, but then I started …

It’s May! We made it! I’m reasonably sure that for most of us, there is no snow in the immediate forecast. I think that’s cause to celebrate. Tomorrow, as you know, is Cinco de Mayo. (Tell the truth: do you know what’s celebrated on this day? I’ll ‘fess up and say I was not terribly aware, so I looked it …
