How's it going guys? This is Brad and John with the best price nutrition at YouTube channel. You can check out our website bestpricenutrition.com, and be sure to sign up for the email newsletter. So you can see when we have all of our deals going on, all of the newest product releases, we send out emails every week. So today what we're going to go over, we've had the original in, this isn't the original, it looks like the original. We had the original one of these in for quite a while, it's the Finaflex oatmeal protein pie. It's kind of supposed to be like a, what's like the original thing called? It's just an oatmeal cream pie?

Brad:
Oh, it was Little Debbie's oatmeal cream pies, yeah.

John:
So this is like a spin off of that, but it's like a protein snack. Basically, it's a lower sugar, high protein, 14 grams of protein in a functional food snack. Then we got the awesome apple pie, which I have here. And we just recently got in all of the other flavors. So do you want to go through what the other flavors are?

Brad:
Yeah, absolutely. So you don't just... For anyone who hasn't tried these, like you said, just like an oatmeal cream pie.

John:
Yeah.

Brad:
And I know a lot of times the functional food cookies and things like that, like they're good, but they don't really taste like the original thing. These were almost spot on to what an oatmeal cream pie is. And just one other thing to note, and hopefully one of these days we get a dented tub and we can review it. But Finaflex also put out a protein powder or protein drink, vegan and vegetarian friendly. And it's supposed to taste like the original protein pie. But yeah, this launched in the original and then they quickly put out a number of other flavors. So we got a Double chocolate chip, we've got a Crazy key lime pie, we got the Georgia peach, Chocolate-peanut butter and Awesome apple. Which one of these are you most looking forward to, or which one do you expect to like the most?

John:
I would say probably, key lime and then the chocolate-peanut butter. I'm not a big chocolate-chocolate guy, the peach one might be good, but yeah, that's what I'm thinking. What about you?

Brad:
You know, I have this weird thing where I don't like fruits mixed with my foods. I'm more of a-

John:
You're the chocolate-chocolate guy?

Brad:
... french silk or something like that. So I'm thinking chocolate-peanut butter, I think the key lime pie would actually be pretty good. I do enjoy some key lime pie from time to time.

John:
Let's do, what's probably the lightest flavors to the darkness because I feel like the darkest ones going to like cloud our mouths.

Brad:
Oh, yeah. Agreed.

John:
All right, so let's start with the Awesome apple.

Brad:
[inaudible 00:02:25].

John:
Oh, that's a dark inside. That's not what I was expecting.

Brad:
I can smell this one already.

John:
Yeah. This is Awesome apple pie. I don't get much apple.

Brad:
So that these guys know, we just finished drinking a pineapple Joe Rogan CBD drink, a strawberry Bang drink. So I'm not sure whether this is kind of a toned down flavor or whether my taste buds are just overwhelmed with the-

John:
It definitely tastes like a tone down flavor. It's not bad, but maybe if you had the original in this side-by-side you could tell the difference but, just going into it raw, I don't really taste much apple in there. It's good. But just tastes like original.

Brad:
I'm not a huge fan. It's not bad, but it just doesn't have a whole lot pf flavor to me.

John:
Take it or leave it.

Brad:
Yeah.

John:
I'm all right with that one. All right, so now we got the key lime pie. This one better be good, I expect it.

Brad:
Yeah, I have high hopes for this one. This one, the pie itself looks a lot different.

John:
Yeah, it actually looks like there's a good amount of filling in there.

Brad:
Yeah, I think this one's going to be pretty good.

John:
Yeah, definitely. So key lime pie. I like that one.

Brad:
I like that.

John:
Oh yeah.

Brad:
They did a really good job with the filling.

John:
Mm-hmm (affirmative). [inaudible 00:04:29] That is really good. It's like not sour, but like on the verge of that really limy flavor.

Brad:
Mm-hmm (affirmative). If you're a fan of key lime pie, you'll like this one.

John:
Definitely. Yeah, that's really good.

Brad:
All right, yeah. I think the peach is actually going to be pretty good.

John:
Yeah. It's got to be a pretty easy one to play with. So hopefully they do it good. I think we're both going to have to log down one full pie for our [inaudible 00:05:05].

Brad:
We like started eating these every day and I wound up putting on like 30 pounds.

John:
They'll do some damage.

Brad:
Well, I suppose you shouldn't sit around eating protein snacks and not exercise. Right?

John:
Do something about it, yeah. All right, so this is Georgia peach pie. That's right up front.

Brad:
Mm-hmm (affirmative).

John:
I like that one too.

Brad:
The filling, it's good. It's not what I expected from it.

John:
I don't like how it finishes. Just disappears, totally. I'm still with the key line so far.

Brad:
So, so far, I'm going to take key lime, peach, apple.

John:
Definitely. Don't want to get those two on that one. [inaudible 00:06:01].

Brad:
I love peanut butter everything. So...

John:
Yeah, that's definitely going to be a good one. And then just the macros, it looks like they're all fairly similar. 16 grams of fat could be a lot, 37 carbs, 11 of those are fibers. So you're looking at 26 carbs.

Brad:
Look at this guy.

John:
Oh yeah, we're getting that side. And then 14 grams of protein. Yeah, that one looks really good.

Brad:
And you know what, these, I mean, it's not the leanest snack, but I mean, when you compare it to say an Outright bar or something like that for being so flavorful and sweet, it's really not any worse than like an Outright bar.

John:
Yeah, and then because how many calorie per... Yeah, it's pretty much the same, 340. I think Outright bars are like 340 calories.

Brad:
Depending on flavor with 280 and the low end of say [crosstalk 00:06:48] 43, 50 and credit to you for sawing these things apart.

John:
Really go to use some downward force. And then with these things, that is the whole pie I know with Lenny and Larry cookies and some things you look at the calories like, "Oh, that's not bad." Then you realize they were talking about half the cookie.

Brad:
This one is packed with peanut butter.

John:
Yeah. It is. Definitely is awesome.

Brad:
Mm-hmm (affirmative).

John:
It's very light on the peanut butter Brad, so like it makes it kind of like fluffy.

Brad:
I like this one. Have you seen, I don't know why I'm thinking about this ad, I try not to eat too much sweet stuff and crap, but I saw at the gas station the other day, they had Nutter Butters covered in Frederick chocolate.

John:
Isn't it already? [crosstalk 00:07:47].

Brad:
Nutter Butters are the wafer bars, right?

John:
The peanut butter with the chocolate.

Brad:
Nutty Buddy's.

John:
Cookie, peanut cookies.

Brad:
Yeah.

John:
That sounds good. That sounds really good. I forgot about those, man I used to smash those as a winy tot. What you think about that one?

Brad:
I really liked the flavor. I pick up kind of a weird artificial flavor too with it though.

John:
Yeah. I almost don't like the cookie part of it.

Brad:
Maybe that's what it is.

John:
It's like the textures are too different. The cookies kind of firm and the stuff on the inside is very wispy.

Brad:
We did an Oreo thing and just-

John:
Pretty much.

Brad:
...eat the peanut butter out of there.

John:
Yeah. So one, two, three, four, five, six, total flavors, we have them all. They're all listed right now. And then we also have a ton of more Finaflex stuff that we recently added. We recently added a probiotic, a test booster one of their fat burners. So check out, Finaflex on the site, we just added a bunch more stuff.

Brad:
Yeah, we've got maybe six, six new products from them.

John:
Yeah.

Brad:
Including, and I'm also going to link, if someone is a fan of oatmeal cream pies and stuff, I'm going to link to that protein powder too. Because that looks fantastic.

John:
That's got to be, I've heard it's really, really good. And then this one is chocolate, double chocolate chip.

Brad:
I think this one should be pretty good.

John:
Yeah. I think I might like this one more that the peanut butter.

Brad:
Yeah man, that's good.

John:
That's good. Yeah, it's like this chocolate wasn't sweet. This is sweet. I like this more than that one.

Brad:
I agree.

John:
The filling is better.

Brad:
Okay. So one through five, is it five? One, two, three, four.

John:
Mm-hmm (affirmative). Key lime is one, chocolate is two, peach is three, chocolate-peanut butter is four, apples five.

Brad:
I'll go with same order.

John:
These two might be able to, I think I like these the same, the peach and the... I definitely liked the peach more. It was a stronger flavor.

Brad:
Yeah. I got the same more.

John:
I think it literally just wind me the levels of how strongly the flavors were of everything.

Brad:
Now is the original still your favorite? I think the original still is my favorite.

John:
I don't know. I can go back and forth with that key lime one.

Brad:
I could see you mixing that one up.

John:
I think if, if I were to give someone one for them to try for the first time-

Brad:
You might want to give the original.

John:
Yeah.

Brad:
But I feel like everybody in their lunch box or at that school, bought an oatmeal cream pie for lunch.

John:
And I feel like I had an oatmeal cream pie after, but I tried it for the first time and I was like, "These aren't even that great." Like the Little Debbie, whatever, every Little Debbie or what's the other thing? Hostess? When you get older and you try and you're like, yeah, they're not that good. I remember them being like sweeter and it just tastes way better. And they're just not that good.

Brad:
Hostess cupcake doesn't do it for you?

John:
I was never a cupcake guy.

Brad:
Twinkie?

John:
I think I've had maybe like five Twinkie's in my life.

Brad:
Really?

John:
Yeah. I don't know. We just never had those. We used to have Nutty Buddies like crazy-

Brad:
I like those.

John:
And the fucking zeb... Frickin zebra cakes. My grandma would keep those on deck and we just smashed them all the time.

Brad:
You know what I never got into? Is Zingers.

John:
No, that was like a frosting on top of it?

Brad:
It's like red coconut flakes.

John:
Oh, like a snowball with like the-

Brad:
I think they had different flavors. They were like sticks or bars.

John:
I know what you're talking about, yeah.

Brad:
I can't think of it, but somebody just put out a Zinger flavored protein powder.

John:
That's weird.

Brad:
Can't remember who it is though.

John:
I don't think I've ever one. I couldn't even tell you what it tastes like.

Brad:
I don't think I've ever had one either.

John:
No, But yeah. So, Finaflex oatmeal pie.

Brad:
It's sort of like protein oatmeal pie.

John:
Oatmeal protein pie. Yeah, so check it out, we've got all the flavors, do what you want, but the key lime pie one, really good. Surprisingly, the double chocolate chip one was really, really good too. I think if you had any of these you're going to be like, "Wow, that's good." As far as what's the best, the original, the key lime and the double chocolate chip are really, really good. Anything else to add?

Brad:
Agreed, yeah. We'll link to these, which are all on kind of one listing, they can toggle which one they want. The oatmeal, protein type protein powder. Then the entire Finaflex collection if that they want to check out some of those PX products that just came out.

John:
Absolutely. All Right. Thanks guys.

Brad:
Bye guys.
