American Helper Visits Cincinnati

I was recently given the pleasure of trying out Helper's new Chicken Helper - just as quick and easy as hamburger helper, but now with an emphasis on the chicken. 

I was sent the Sweet & Sour Chicken to try. 

It was yummy - a little too sweet for me, but still good. If only Helper would not use hydrogenated oils in their products....

 

Helper also sent me a nifty little gift package in the mail with some storage containers, a skillet, and a few other things.

I'll bet you didn't know that Helper was currently on a food truck tour around the states, did you? Well, I went to check out the food truck for myself when it came to Cincinnati. It was cool - they were sampling a couple of Helper products, and I got to have my picture taken with the Helper Hand.

 

They were also playing cornhole (I didn't play), and it looked like people were enjoying themselves.

They also snuck a picture of my parents.

 

Pretty stealthy, if you ask me.

Anyways....if you are looking for a new and yummy way to use chicken (#1 source of animal protein), then this is a pretty decent one. 

What are some of your favorite Helper flavors?

Product Review: Journey Bar

Remember this Journey Bar review I posted a while ago?

I was recently contacted by Journey Bars, savory protein bars made with an organic whole grain blend of oats, millet, flax, amaranth and buckwheat, to try their newest flavors. 

Here's the bad news - the pictures I took of these bars were on my old iPhone, which shattered and had to be replaced. So, unfortunately, I don't have self-taken pictures of the bars. However, here is a picture of the flavors from their website: 

Ironically, what I think are two of the best flavors (Hickory BBQ and Parmesan Romano) were replaced by two new savory flavors: Sesame Ginger and Sea Salt. These two new flavors, although unique, were not as delicious as I remember the others. I think just the idea of an Asian protein bar threw me off. It was good but weird. The Sea Salt, on the other hand, was a bit plain and lacking in the flavor department. 

My favorite flavor is still the Coconut Curry - deliciously curry and deliciously Indian!

I still love the concept of Journey Bars - a savory protein bar in a world of mostly sweet protein bars. They really do have some great and unique protein bar flavors (the full line includes Coconut Curry, Sea Salt, Sesame Ginger, Rosemary, and Pizza Marinara), and I recommend you try them out. Just be prepared for something that is definitely a unique experience!
