I haven't as of yet.
Wonder when JC will post their new meals in their Nutritional Facts page?
I am anxious to try their new Cheese Enchiladas.

Funny you should mention, Connie! I had the Complete Start cereal For breakfast this AM, and the Cheesy Enchilada for lunch. The cereal is two thumbs waaay up. It is bowl-and-stomach filling, with a higher protein content (10g) than most dry cereals. Folks have been comparing it to one of the Kashi cereals, if that helps.
The Enchilada has some interesting textures going on, but it needs some major salsa or hot sauce going on. You would not mistake it for anything from El Torito (or Taco Hell for that matter), but it is as viable as almost anything else they have for lunch.
The toffee bites are tiny, sweet, and crunchy as all heck. My main problem with these is that you don't get many for your serving.
The snack mix is not veg (it has worcestershire sauce), so I didn't try that.
You're right, we need to be able to program these bad boys into our menus!

OK, why is worchestershire sauce not veggie? I have never eaten it and don't know what's in it. However, I am curious to know why its not vegetarian.

Worcestershire sauce generally contains the lowly anchovy, a very salty little fish that some folks like on pizza. Those little anchovies wriggle their way into caesar salad dressing, too! The amount in your snack mix is probably teeny verging on homeopathic, but just so you know.

P.S. Vegetarian worcestershire sauce is available at your natural foods store.

How disturbing. I'm glad I never ate it. I am (fatally) allergic to fish and would hate to find out the hard way that certain seemingly fish-free foods have fish in them. Gross. I was wise to caesar salad (the dressing, anyway). Thank God I never ate those, either. The thought of eating a raw egg (the dressing) was enough to keep me away from it.
Thanks for the info -

Today I had the stuffed breakfast sandwich and the cheesy enchilada.
The breakfast sandwich was great. I always loved the chicken sandwich and this is a breakfast version which is fabulous. But it gets VERY hot, so be careful. I also it has ham in it if anyone out there worries about that.
The enchilada needed some salsa but it was really good. It was big compared to other JC lunches and it had rice..yeah rice.
Did all of you know that the new foods will only be around for a few weeks?
I highly recommend these 2 new items.
Tomorrow we try the toffee bits. They look REALLY small though.
I was getting so tired of the regular JC food, I'm so glad to see these new foods.

Tried the Complete Start Cereal and I love it! Love it! Love it! It was delicious! Can't wait to buy it again! It is a good thing that I didn't have a big giant box of it, or I would have finished the whole box and then I would not be a happy camper.
The Breakfast stuffed sandwich? It was too much of a hassel picking out all of the chunks of ham.
The cheese enchilada? Was very filling, but no flavor. My Husband says throw some Hot Sauce on it. I can't handle spicy food. But it was filling and it didn't have meat. Maybe if I buy it again, I will add a few drops of tomato sauce. (Maybe)

I already posted my 2 cents about the cereal. After reading all the posts about the cheesy enchilada, I put off ordering it. But, I ordered it and am eating it right now. I really like it. Maybe my expectations were too low, but I actually think it tastes good and I love the rice.

I had the cheesy enchilada for lunch today. I loved the textures and the fact that I could FINALLY have something with rice in it.... but I wasn't able to find any flavor!! I don't need spicy-hot or anything, and I wouldn't want it to be too salty.... but some kind of flavor would be nice.

The vitamin bars taste better when they are refrigerated. With a glass of water, they are very filling. I think they are very good. Would love to see JC make other flavors, like maybe with a marshmellow middle. Then they would taste like the Charleston Chews. And maybe with a chocolate middle.
I eat the vitamin bars very slowely and totally enjoy each bite. They are so good. Really didn't like them much at room temperature. But chill them and they are great!

Thanks for the tip Connie. I'm going to my center tomorrow morning and I've decided to try the bars this week. It's cheaper than buying the vitamins plus 7 yogurts, so I figured why not try them?? I'll keep what you said in mind if I don't care for them at first.

I didn't get a whole bag yet. Just tried a sample of one of the Toffee Bites and they are really very good. More like a small bunch of little cookies.
Can't wait to get a bag of my own!

I was really upset to find out (after opening the box) that the Anytime bars have gelatin in them. Why, Jenny, WHY?

I had the Mesquite Chicken last night with potatoes and broccoli. It was really delicious and filling. Gail

Well, when I first started JC, I did not know about the vegetarian menu being available to us, so I tried the Chicken Mesquite. Being that I am not really a meat eater, I didn't really eat the chicken, but the Broccoli and Potatoes were DEEEELICIOUS!!! Wish we had it available in a Veggie meal.
