Flavor of the week

This week's Creami recipe is the Shamrock Shake.

Every March, McDonald's brings it back.

And every March, people lose their minds over it.

The problem is: a medium (16 oz) is 540 calories, 87g carbs, 68g of sugar.

I had to do something about that.

My version tastes the exact same, and the macros literally only come from a protein shake.

Rapid Reviews

Prime Bites just dropped a brand new product line: Rice Treats

Prime Bites protein Rice Treats review

Watch the full video.

I've tried other protein rice krispies and they're all pretty gross.

These actually tasted great.

195 calories. 19g protein. 13g fiber.

And they weigh 65 grams, making them larger than the majority of popular protein bars.

Flavor ranking:

  1. Strawberry & Cream (tastes like a Strawberry Shortcake ice cream bar)
  2. Vanilla (closest to a rice krispy treat)
  3. Chocolate (hits like cocoa pebbles)

The verdict:

7.7/10

In the Lab

Last week I went all in.

I left my job to create content full time.

But it didn't happen the way I always thought it would…

I actually got laid off.

I was drinking coffee Friday morning and got a random text from our COO asking to meet.

Never a good sign.

And then he gave the “it's not you, it's me” equivalent of getting let go...

He hit me with “we're restructuring.

What's funny is I was actually debating leaving anyway.

At Expo West, I got to spend time with a ton of full-time creators and hear about their day to day.

It fired me up and had me daydreaming about making the jump.

And in hindsight, this couldn't have played out better.

I didn't have to put in my two weeks or go back and forth on what decision to make.

It was made for me.

Now, I have more time for new Creami pints.

More time for more experiments. More testing.

So what do you want to see?

Nothing's off the table now.

P.S. I'm so thankful for all of you that follow and support what I do. I'd be a lot more stressed right now if it wasn't for this community. Seriously, thank you.
