Trader Joe's Caprese Ravioli Review

Caprese Ravioli: 6/10 - I was honestly expecting more from this. The individual ravioli were really pretty and looked super enticing but they were really bland when you tasted them. I thought I would get a burst of pesto from the filling but, to me, it tasted super similar to plain pasta which was dissapointing. But then again, even plain pasta tastes amazing so it's hard to go wrong. 

I added lots of salt, pepper, oil, and cheese to make it more enjoyable but I bet it would also be great with actual pesto or tomato sauce.

Banana Bread Lärabar Review

Banana Bread: 12/10 - This was genuinely the best bar I've ever eaten. I don't know what, but something about it quite literally made me physically smile. The taste was so good I felt like my insides were melting. However, keep in mind that this dramatic review could just be because I was hungry. I am so fascinated at how Lärabar continues to make such appealing products with just 3-6 ingredients! They keep raising the bar every time. (pun intended) Specifically what I liked about this bar was the obvious banana taste and the perfect amount of mix-ins. It was super sugary but definitely not too much sugar and it is very hard to find that 'sweet spot' (pun intended) so props to them! There was a great number of nuts, not too much, not too little. Absolutely everything about this bar was excellent .

Trader Joe's Ricotta & Lemon Zest Ravioli Review

Ricotta & Lemon Zest Ravioli: 8/10 - I don't typically like ricotta but the tang of lemon was really delicious. They also all stayed together really well and none of the filling was coming out and there was no pasta falling apart which was a huge plus.  I'd say the only thing I didn't like was how bland they were but that could easily be fixed by adding seasoning or sauce of some sort. Overall a great flavor.

Chickpea Curry & Spinach Rice Bowl Review

Image
Chickpea Curry Bowl: 6/10 - I was really excited to try this dish because all of the ingredients and the description looked great. But once I cooked it, it was just a mushy, spicy bowl of rice.  All of the ingreadients just blended together so it was pretty much a slimy, brown meal which personally doesn't intrigue me.  The flavors still went fine together and it tasted pretty good but I feel like I could've easily made something that tasted just as good (and looked a little nicer) without buying this. Overall, taste was fine (but not amazing) but presentation was definitely a little rough.
