I like the Limited Ingredient Diet line, but I think there are better varieties than the kangaroo formula.

Although kangaroo meat is is unusual in the US, it seems to be fairly common in other parts of the world, and my dog seemed to have no issue with eating it. I'm a big fan of Natural Balance, but unlike some of the other LID line, the first ingredient in this food is a carbohydrate - potato. I would prefer if it was a protein, as there is really very little nutritional value in plain potatoes in dog foods. It might be a little better if it was sweet potato, but even so, having it as the first ingredient seems like they are trying to use it as filler. That aside, I like everything else about this product, and especially its core concept of having a limited number of ingredients that I can easily understand. I probably won't get this flavor again though, and will opt for the venison variety.

Not my favorite KIND product. Though it was worth a try---also not a great deal. Good nutrition but average flavor and texture.

I like this product, but there are better raspberry/cherry and chocolate products out there such as Graeters and Ben&Jerry's.  I won't be buying this one again, but it was fine for what it is.  Not creamy enough.

Okay but not as good as Dundee. To me marmalade should have more solid. Didn't buy Dundee because they were only available in quantity's of 6.

Please read to bottom for info re psyllium, which I only realized later thanks to another reviewer.

(The apricot flavor strikes me as a large, dense, chewy cookie. It doesn't have the exquisite taste of some of the available snack bars, but not bad and feels like fuel for the furnace (the bod, I mean). Plus it is more food for the money than some of them, weighing in at 2.4 ounces. Still a lot for that amount of food but that's the price of convenience. And a healthy snack or road food.

The Clif Bar is chewy, as I said, and holds together very well so you don't lose crumbs to waste or trash your vehicle. That's important to me.

The one thing I think they could do better is to make Clif Bars specifically gluten-free instead of just saying "may contain traces of dairy, peanuts, wheat and tree nuts". We who must avoid gluten - and those other allergens - need to KNOW that what we put into our bodies is in fact free of what to us is poison. Yeah, sure, Clif Bar is covered legally, but not a smart move in terms of wanting to SELL them to a large percentage of the population. I hope Clif Bar is listening.

Addendum: Also tried the Peanut Toffee Buzz, 'way too sweet, didn't like it.)

Further addendum: Now tried White Chocolate Macadamia, 'way too sweet nearly disgustingingly sweet, can't be healthy with that much sugar. Also learned there is psyllium in the formulation, don't know how much since it isn't specified and in powdered form it is tiny in volume compared to what it becomes when hydrated. This can create quite a problem because psyllium draws water from your system if you don't take it with enough liquid, and it can become concrete in the digestive system if wrongly handled. It should not be in this kind of food. Also, please note that the ingredients are in print too small to read without magnification and cleverly folded into the packaging seams where they are (intentionally?) likely to be missed. Not good.

The taste is fine, but as much as I like the simple ingredients, I just don't really care for the consistency.  I've tried in smoothies and in curries, and I much prefer the classic version that has the guar gum actually.  This one is just too liquid and doesn't give the same creamy richness of the classic.  Native Forest continues to be my favorite brand, though, and if you like simple ingredients this fits the bill.  Just know you'll sacrifice some creaminess due to the absence of guar gum.

Better than many other products in this category, but they still taste quite artificial.  I think going with very dark chocolate is a better choice for a low carb treat.

Maybe 2.5 stars. Price is okay, my cats like it, but; I question the use of guar gum tricalcium phosphate.  The carb to protein ratio is good & lower carb than most. There is a great web-page that lists almost all cat food into a format that makes it easy to compare ingredients and healthfulness. This resource has been wonderful to help me identify the best foods out there. Purina Beyond is better than some of the other inexpensive cat foods but I try and avoid questionable ingredients. Some of the Sheba & Tiki products are more healthful and better for cat's digestion without these fillers.  If interested in further information about the resource just look up,  catfooddb dot com
Dr Elsey's seems to score very high in healthfulness,  but unfortunately their high protein food is not in my budget.

Everyone is raving about this brand from those doing the Paleo or Whole30 eating plans. I don't live in an area where this is readily available and I figured at around $5 a bottle this wasn't a bad deal for the variety. Most of the seasonings have a ton of oil in them - they are mostly oil. And you have to refrigerate whatever you don't use when you open the bottle. Once chilled the oil solidifies into a hard lump. I don't like the idea of rewarming the bottle each time I want to use some and then rechilling it over and over again. I heard they are reformulating it with a different oil so it stays more liquid but there was a question as to how legal this would be going forward on Whole30. The oil based flavorings - balsamic, cracked pepper, lemon garlic were good for a marinade but I found them too oily for a salad dressing. I used the lemon chesapeake with homemade crab cakes and found it oily, salty and peppery - didn't think it really enhanced the seafood. The ketchup was AWFUL - more like a vinegar based bbq sauce than tomato tasting ketchup. I can't really recommend these products other than to say if you can buy a single bottle - try it out and decide f for yourself before committing to a multipack.

This book is nice and easy to follow.  The only kicker is that I was hoping for more gluten free options and not so much processed ingredients. After reading it all the way through, I didn't feel as confident that I could make this stuff.  Too much sugar and when told to use alternatives, the read didn't give off the confidence I needed that it would turn out that well.

Of all the Alpine Aire Foods products I tried, this was a better one.  Ingredient wise, they seemed to use quality ingredients, and not fill it up with unpronounceable chemicals.  Had real berries that you definitely could see.  But like the other Alpine Aire Foods products I purchased, the flavor just wasn't all the way there.  Compared to Mountain House products, the Alpine Aire's just didn't match up taste wise.

I was curious why this Iams formula and size was considerably more affordable than the rest of the Iams cat recipes.  I buy Iams for a cat rescue friend since all her cats have been raised on it.  I was quite surprised to see that the top three ingredients were chicken by-product meal, corn meal and corn grits in this teal bag.  That's not all that nutritious. Compare that to the ingredients in the  Iams Original in the orange bag of chicken, chicken by-product meal and corn meal, which is just a tad better.

And that claim that this kibble is a "new larger size" also seems to be silly because when placed side-by-side, I see no difference in the kibbles' size.

This formula contains 28%  min crude protein and 11% - 13.5% crude fat, so less protein and fat than the Original formula of 32% and 15% min respectively.  Older indoor cats don't need as much protein and fat as younger, more active cats.

This formula advertises to contain 80mg of L-carnitine, but the Original formula contains 80mg L-caritine, too.

Both this formula and the Original formula also contain 7% ash, a mineral that vets will tell you help contribute to male cats' urinary tract infections.

This is an OK food to feed shelter animals and strays, but I could never make this brand nor the formula my cats' regular diet.

I brought these to give out during Halloween and to eat a few myself of course. I like the variety of chocolate. However, I did find it disappointing that a lot less Twix bars were put in the mix than the others. It was most to least in this order: Snickers, M&M's, Milky Way, Musketeers, and then Twix. Twix bars are my favorite so I think I will opt to buy a Twix only bag next time.

Although I like the taste of the ordinary or high-protein Ensures (as sold, for instance, at Walgreens), this one was less tasty.

But taste aside, the nutritional quality of some of the ingredients should be improved for all these products.  Here are the ingredients for the chocolate COMPACT (it's easy to navigate to the ingredients of alternative Ensure products from that link):

https://www.boost.com/products/compact

1.  It's been known for years now that FOLATE is better than folic acid, which a few people cannot even tolerate, by the way.

2. B12 as cyanocobalamine is inferior to methylcobalamine.  The list did not specify which of the two is used, but the former used to be the rule in vitamin pills and drinks such as this one.  Currently, only a few (expensive) B-complex pills replace "cyano" with "methyl.

3. The form of vitamin E included here is also poor compared to the 8 elements that should make up vitamin E.  Again, the more complex and natural-like vitamin E is now available in few pill brands.

As the improved vitamin forms are found in the better pills today, so should it be for expensive nutritional drinks such as this one.  But I am afraid that alternative brands may not be better in this regard yet.

The taste is ok, but I have had better and there is some ingredients that are not good for you.

I wanted so badly for this to work.  I gave it three stars because it is indeed quality ingredients, and a nice dose of nutrition.  I wanted to give it one star because of the taste.  I am now putting just a bit of it in my Shakeology every morning, trying to use it up instead of throwing it out, and even half a scoop (it calls for two full scoops as a serving), mixed with my chocolate Shakeology, which I love but is more pricey, and I can barely choke it down!  Taste is very personal, but I'll say this- if you love Shakeology like I do, you may not like this.  I wanted to see if I could replace that expense, but won't be doing it with this.

While I love dark chodolate, Kit Kat is just not my favorite candy bar.  Too much chocolate and not enough crisp or crunch.
