SO Delicious Coconut Vanilla Bean Ice Cream
Rating *** (3 stars)
Hey everyone! Sorry I didn’t post last week—I took a little vacation to recharge. But I’m back, and I’ll try to squeeze in an extra post this week to make up for it!
This time, I gave the SO Delicious Coconut Vanilla Bean Ice Cream a try. It’s dairy-free and has that premium, scoop-resistant vibe—seriously, it came out of the freezer like a frozen brick! I let it sit on the counter for about 20 minutes, but it was still pretty firm when I dug in (which is why there’s no ice cream pic this time… maybe next time I’ll wait 30?).
Once it finally softened up enough to try, I really enjoyed it! The coconut flavor is nice and mild, and the texture has a light creaminess that makes it super pleasant. A cool little treat—literally!
Tillamook Zero Sugar Smoked Sauage
Rating *** (3 stars)
I don’t usually go for jerky, but while wandering through my local Albertson’s, something caught my eye, Tillamook Zero Sugar Original Smoked Sausage. I figured, why not give it a shot?
These little snack-sized sausages are about 3 inches long—perfect for a quick bite. As soon as I opened the package, I was greeted with a deliciously smoky aroma that had me excited to take the first bite. That first bite had a satisfying little snap! The flavor was just what you’d hope for salty, meaty, and super tasty.
There’s a slight bit of that sausage-style greasiness, but it’s not too much—just enough to remind you it’s the real deal. Honestly, I think it would pair perfectly with something cold to drink. Definitely a fun little snack I’d try again!

Review of Vitamin Water Zero Sugar Dragonfruit
Review **** (4 stars)
I spotted this on the shelf at my local supermarket and just had to give it a try—especially since I had no idea what dragonfruit even tastes like! So, I grabbed one and headed over to Barnes Park in Monterey Park for a taste test. When I poured it into my cup, I was instantly a fan of the nice pink color—so fun! That first sip caught me off guard in a good way. It’s only lightly sweet with a nice fruity flavor. Honestly, it feels like the perfect drink to cool down with after a workout or hanging out in the sun!

Review of Starbucks Tropical Peach Iced Energy
Rating * * * * (4 stars)
Starbucks just dropped a brand-new canned energy drink for the summer, and it’s giving tropical vibes! It’s called Starbucks Tropical Peach Iced Energy—and the moment I cracked it open, I was hit with the sweet, sunny smell of fresh peaches. Total summer-in-a-can moment!
The drink is lightly fizzy and super refreshing. The peach flavor is soft and subtle. Honestly, I kinda wish it packed a bit more peachy punch, but it’s still a cool, crisp pick-me-up for those hot summer days!

Review of Pillsbury sugar-free brownie mix
Rating * * * (3 stars)
The kids and I had a serious chocolate craving—so off to Walmart we went! We grabbed a box of Pillsbury Zero Sugar Brownie Mix, and to really take things up a notch, we tossed in some Lily’s Dark Chocolate Baking Chips.
As the brownies baked, the kitchen started to smell amazing. After an eager 20-minute wait out came warm, chewy brownies.
Once they cooled we took our first bite. The flavor? Rich and chocolate-packed! A little protein bar favor. The texture? Definitely on the very chewy side—but still delicious.

Review of Hershey’s Sugar-Free Caramel Chocolate
When I was a kid, one of my favorite parts of Halloween was going trick-or-treating and nothing beat finding those little Hershey’s Miniatures in my bag. Honestly, I always thought they tasted better than the full-sized bars!
So imagine my surprise when I recently discovered sugar-free candy bars that look just like those Hershey Miniatures from my childhood. I found them during a trip to CVS. They only had the Hershey’s Zero Sugar Caramel-Filled Bars in stock. There are a few other flavors too, but unfortunately, CVS was out of stock on those.
Of course, I had to grab a bag to try them out. The moment I got home, I tore it open like an excited kid on Halloween night. The bars looked just like I remembered—tiny, cute, and even stamped with the classic “Hershey” logo.
Now, here’s the best part: I took a bite and... wow. No weird fake chocolate flavor here! It actually tasted like real chocolate. And since it was caramel-filled, I was expecting maybe just a caramel flavor, but nope—it had actual soft, gooey caramel inside. It was seriously good.
I’ll definitely be back to review the other flavors!
