How's it going? It is my Friday and after work tonight I have the next 3 days off. I have been pretty good about NOT doing online shopping the past couple of weeks, but I let myself slide a little bit as I made this online purchase last week and just received it in the mail today, so I was excited about that.
This is dehydrated peanut butter powder that is also FLAVORED - vegan - low calorie and low-ish carb (6g of carbs and 45 cals per serving) and with a bunch of different weird and fun flavors. This came in a promo pack, 5 bags for $60, and I found a 15% off coupon online. Each bag has 18 2 TBS servings, so a total of just under 100 servings for less than $60. Not terrible.
These aren't a great source of protein (only like 2 or 3 grams per serving) and the flavors are a little crazy to mix with anything else, but a nice treat to distract me from eating higher calorie foods (like real peanut butter!) as I'm trying to stick to a low calorie diet.
What I have been doing is mixing water, unsweetened almond milk, and this flavored peanut butter), shaking it up and drinking it like a nice little smoothie.
The only kind out of this 5 pack that I've tried so far is the banana bread flavor. Which I REALLY like - it even has soft little walnuts in it! Yum! The banana flavor shines but is not overpowering. I am going to drink the banana one first, and then try the others.
I have several protein powders, supplements, meal replacements in queue, so I really do need to drink those first, but this is more of a fun one.
What has been your impulse purchase lately?

I have some PB powder I will occasionally out in a soothie. I bought PB light ice cream as an impulse purchase kind of dangerous for me

Ooh, that sounds really good. Was it HaloTop, or a different brand? I love peanut butter flavored things. I use PB2 (mostly, Great Value/Walmart's generic PB2) and I bought a big 50 serving container for like $11. I just wish it disintegrated into the milk/water better. Maybe I should blend it.

I am afraid I had not done any impulse buys lately.
I love all those you got though Maezee bet they all taste so good
You did good with the coupon too.
Enjoy them

We tried some similar products before (the peanut powder), it was interesting but it was a long time ago.

Glad you got a good price for what you wanted! My impulse buying was dry aku or tuna. It's 23.99 a pound, but it is very light. This one was a bit too raw for my taste so baked it on 200° for 20 minutes. Now it's perfect.
