gummy clusters, but make ‘em healthy.

I forgot how good this candy actually is. If you haven’t had it in a while (or ever), it’s healthy now. So eat as much as ya want!

Candy rebrands are fun, but I love branching out- what rebrand challenges do ya have for me?

Your gameday appetizer has arrived! This pull apart pretzel skillet is really simple, super customizable, and insanely good.

Ingredients for pretzels:
• 240g (2 Cups) Self-Rising Flour - Or the same amount of All-Purpose Flour + 2 tsp Baking Powder & 1/2 tsp Salt
• 300g Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
• 8g (2 tsp) Sugar or Sugar Substitute
• Melted Butter & Coarse Salt for topping

Baking Soda Bath
• 1/4 cup Baking Soda
• 3 Cups Water

Ingredients for Beer Cheese
• 28g Light Shredded Mozzarella
• 28g Shredded Cheddar
• 68g Queso Cheese Dip
• 80g Cream Cheese or Blended Cottage Cheese
• 1/4 cup (2.5oz) Beer of Choice

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Mix up all the ingredients for your cheese and set aside. Mix up the ingredients for the pretzels and form into 12 balls, then lightly knead them to smooth them out a bit.

Boil water + baking soda, then let each dough ball float in the mixture for about 30 seconds. Line a skillet or pan with all of your dough ***I forgot to grease my cast iron before baking…definitely do that if you dont want these to stick.

Sprinkle with coarse salt, add the cheese to the center, then bake at 400 degrees for about 24 mins.

When theyre done, give ‘em a brushing with melted butter and let everything cool for about 10 minutes. Trust me, you dont want to skip the butter!

Approx macros for one pretzel + cheese: 85 calories, 1g fat, 16g carbs, 4g protein. Obviously the cheese dip will vary if you want to use your own ingredients, so I always recommend calculating your own macros if you’re curious.

Growing up, there was no finer dinner than dino nuggets. So let’s make ‘em fancy for the adults too.

This was a rebrand I did last year, so it may look familiar to some of you, but there are tons of new faces here since then and considering the “fancy” Special K cereal I saw the other day (one of my previous videos), the timing felt right.

Anywaayyy, some new rebrands are coming up- hit me with some challenging ideas!

If you didn’t know, General Mills bought Ghost, so they’re able to slap the Cinnamon Toast Crunch branding on here. It’s also why their cereal with marshmallows is now Lucky Charms branding, too.

But this is just a cinnamon protein cereal. It’s not disgusting…but it’s just an average cinnamon cereal. It doesn’t have the same crunch as CTC or the swirls, so it ends up just being a less crunchy, puffier cinnamon cereal.

Ya gotta adjust expectations for protein cereal, of course. But if you’re gonna slap on the name of one of the greatest cereals of all time on the box, you need to deliver.

And they did not.

Just some love for my newest home gym addition that I am very pleasantly surprised by. I thought these handles were going to be completely pointless, to be perfectly honest. But I love them.

The way these move naturally make any cable movement as smooth a dumbbell exercise. “So why not just use dumbbells?” BECAUSE I LIKE CABLES!

Sorry for yelling.

Anyway, I can only cover so much in 90 seconds, so if ya want a closer look at these and some more details, find me on Youtube and check the full breakdown 💪

Supplement branding is hilariously absurd, so this was fun.

Sour skittles are severely underrated, in my humble opinion. Maybe this will help sales a little bit

The front of the label will selectively tell you the good things about a product and hide the rest. Don’t trust ‘em.

I got a root canal today and scrambled to put this together last night knowing I wouldn’t be up for it today SO my example could have been better, but it’s good enough to illustrate the point so we’re going with it.

A label can highlight any aspect it chooses to make a product sound appealing. If it sounds too good to be true, it very well might be.

Read the ingredients and the nutrition facts if you want to know what’s actually in a product. It won’t fail you.

A nutrition guide for you and all your macro needs🫡

I’ve made a LOT of these guides over the past 7 years, and now I’m going through and updating as many as I can with current menus, along with adding saturated fat and sodium.

I dont personally pay close attention to either of those in my own life, but with so many people conscious of them, I want to incorporate them in addition to macros.

As a reminder: you dont have to eat fast food at all. I dont care one way or the other. I make these guides to help you make informed decisions so that if you are going to enjoy fast food, you can see how it aligns with your goals.

OK that’s enough disclaimers. What other fast food guides do you wanna see??

A quick rundown of six protein snacks and whether or not they’re worth it. This is strictly a taste review not taking into account ingredients, macros, or price.

1) Ghost protein bars…blah.

2) Nick’s protein bars…. blah.

3) Quest elote chips 🤌 They seem to always nail the flavor. (My top 3 are still spicy sweet chili, hot & spicy, and taco)

4) Quest donuts are very disappointing though. Way too dry and crumbly.

5) Simple Truth protein crackers are shockingly good. I only tried the dill pickle flavor but they have a ton of flavor.

6) .power are awesome. Tagging them to hopefully support their business a little. The serving sizes are very generous and they actually fill me up a ton which is very rare for protein snacks.

I try to write up reviews and post them to my site whenever I try a new snack, so you can go to reviews.cheatdaydesign.com to find those! I’m in the middle of a move and my life is chaotic right now so I haven’t written these up and just wanted to give you the quick rundown.

Have you tried any new protein products lately that are actually worth it?

I found the protein cups! So let’s break ‘em down.

This is forever one of my favorite rebrands because it’s extremely simple, yet very powerful. Since I’ve gotten a lot of new followers since I last shared this one, it’s time to bring it back.

This would 100000% work on me. If you saw this on shelves, would you grab it without thinking twice?

Protein milk is taking over. Here’s how it compares at and .

The Starbucks milk is estimated, but when I ran the calculations against Starbucks base recipes, it works out to be very close.

I built nutrition calculators for both of these, and you can find ‘em both by clicking my bio link or going to cheatdaydesign.com. You can customize any drink and see how the protein milk changes your go-to order.

I have worked VERY hard on building these tools and updating them every time there is a major menu update. They get stolen all the time, which is just how the internet is these days, so the best way you can support me is simply by sharing if you find ‘em useful! I’m always going to keep them free for you.

Note that with any drinks, the nutrition is always going to be rounded and estimated. Even the nutrition facts that Dunkin and Starbucks put out will never be 100% accurate because there are many variables at play. So you may notice very slight differences in calculator totals, but some slight variance is totally expected.
