I could Cry - Continente Cookie Wookie Ice Cream Sandwich Review

7/25/2025

0 Comments

 
Will a classic chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwich from Continente stack up to this chocolate cookie ice cream sandwich?

This post is part of a series: July 2025 European Grocery Store Finds • Expats in Portugal


Continente Cookie Wookie Ice Cream Sandwiches


Enter Continente Cookie Wookie Ice Cream Sandwiches - 4 pack.  By the way, no, not a star wars themed ice cream sandwich. 
​

Continente Cookie Wookie Ingredients and Nutrition Facts

Described as "Vanilla flavor ice cream between layers of cookies with chocolate chips", these ice cream sandwiches contain 2.6g of protein per sandwich. It's not Skyr, but it's not nothing. :p

Ingredients and Nutrition Facts - Cookie Wookie Ice Cream Sandwich

Continente Cookie Wookie First Impression


I have high standards for chocolate chip cookies and naturally one lowers said standards for a store brand ice cream sandwich, yet I must admit I am immediately skeptical. 

Picture
Cookie Wookie Ice Cream Sandwich - Cookie Pic


Ice Cream Overhang
​

The cookie wookie presents with a bit of ice cream overhang and we can't be mad about that. Ice cream overhang can be like a muffin top - the best part. 
​
Picture
The Ice Cream Over-Hang Was The Best Part :'(

It Nearly Brought Me To Tears...

This picture about sums up the Cookie Wookie. 

Sad, sad, sad, sad, sadddddd ice cream sandwich experience. 

Picture
First Bite: Continente Cookie Wookie - Made Us Saddie Waddie

Problems with this ice cream sandwich:

  • Cookie texture is not bueno. Crumbly and with very mediocre flavor.
  • The cookie sticks to your fingers in a weird, uncomfortable way. Blech.
  • Cookie-to-ice-cream ratio is off, especially given the mid-ness of the cookies themselves. 

    ​This last point is especially unfortunate because the ice cream actually had decent flavor and thanks to the aforementioned over-hang we could get a taste of it untainted by the crumbly blah-ness of the cookie. Sadly this element is completely lost because of how bad the cookie "bun" is. I hope Continente reworks this product. 
    ​

Skip This! 

Based on the box we bought, we'd say skip the Cookie Wookie at Continente. They have other ice cream products that are much better including this one.

On the other hand, A Very Good Ice Cream Sandwich:

Continente Skyr Yogurt Taste Test – Equilíbrio Brand Review (3 Flavors)

7/25/2025

0 Comments

 
Wondering if Continente's Equilíbrio Skyr Yogurt is worth trying? We taste-tested 3 flavors. Find out which was the clear loser of the bunch ... no pun intended ;) 
​
This post is part of a series: July 2025 European Grocery Store Finds • Expats in Portugal


​Continente Skyr High Protein Drinkable Yogurt

What is Skyr?

​Skyr is an Icelandic cultured dairy product (like yogurt). It is generally thick and creamy and higher in protein than other dairy products and yogurts. It takes 4 cups of milk to make 1 cup of Skyr, so you can see how concentrated the nutrition becomes. 

Picture
Continente Equilíbrio Skyr - Ranking Banana, Strawberry, and Forest Fruits Flavors | Portugal Food Blog

How to Pronounce Skyr

Skyr is pronounced "Skeer". 
​

Ranking Continente Skyr Worst to Best 

First we will start by saying we love Skyr. It's such a great way to get easy protein (unlike this product)  and probiotics in your diet. Between squeeze pouches like these (coming soon) and drinkable versions like these from Continente, we prefer the drinkable option. 
​

How Much Protein?

Each 160g bottle of Continente Skyr contains 11.4g of protein and costs about 52 euro cents!

Worst Skyr Flavor: Banana Flavor

Of the 3 flavors, forest fruits (berries), strawberry, and banana, we agreed that banana was the "least good" flavor. It has that fake banana flavor that threw us back to those popsicles you had when you were a kid that come two together and you split them in half. The fake banana flavor of those. iykyk. 

It's overall fine and I would drink the banana flavor again, but if strawberry or frutos do bosque were options, we would always choose them first. 

Also, somehow the tang of the cultured dairy product is more pronounced in the banana than the other flavors which is less appealing.
​

A Classic: Strawberry Skyr

Strawberry is a classic flavor for Skyr or yogurt and you can't go wrong picking up Skyr com aroma Morango  at Continente. 
​

The Best Skyr Flavor: Frutos do Bosque

Our favorite flavor of Continente Equilibrio's Skyr product has to be frutos do bosque.
​

What is frutos do bosque in English?

Frutos do bosque in English is basically "forest fruits". Think delicious berries like strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and so on.

Continente Ice Cream Review – Menta e Chocolate Flavor Taste Test

7/25/2025

0 Comments

 
Continente grocery store in Portugal has it's own brand of ice cream and there are sort of two categories. The standard has a flat lid and the domed lids give the impression of a superior quality ice cream. 
​
The day had come to try Continente's Mint Chocolate Gelado (Ice cream) and we went for the domed lid edition. (The chocolate swirl did me in!) 
​
This post is part of a series: July 2025 European Grocery Store Finds • Expats in Portugal


Continente Menta e Chocolate Gelado (Mint & Chocolate Ice Cream) 


The packaging looks impressive with creamy mint ice cream surrounded by chocolate swirls and chocolate shavings. 
​
Picture
Continente Menta e Chocolate Gelado | Portugal Food Blog

Expectation Vs. Reality:


​First Impressions: 
I'd say the expectation was realistic! The ice cream looks really creamy, has plenty of chocolate shavings on top, and you can see the chocolate sauce ribbons at every valley. 
​
Picture
Mint Chocolate Ice Cream | Continente Review Blog

Continente Menta e Chocolate Ice Cream Review:


From the first scoop this ice cream is a winner. If you like mint ice cream, you'll be happy to find this in your freezer. It is indeed very creamy while the mint flavor is extra refreshing on a hot day. 

The chocolate ribbons really only run from the top down the sides, not throughout the center of the ice cream.
Still, I think the amount is acceptable! 

Picture
Mint Chocolate Ice Cream Review in Portugal | Food & Travel Blog

​​The chocolate shavings are pretty, but I am always team chocolate swirl/chocolate sauce/fudge in ice cream as opposed to chewing bits of chocolate. 
​
Shop Mint & CHocolate Ice Cream Near You!

​Migraine Tip:  Are you prone to migraines in the heat? Some find eating cold foods can take the edge off. Cold ice cream combined with the cooling effect of mint may give you a blissful bit of relief from your summertime migraine. YMMV, but it's worth a try isn't it? :) 

Want the cooling effects without the dairy? Try a peppermint migraine roll on stick

Snack Day Leitão Batatas Fritas Review – Lidl Portugal Roast Pork Flavored Chips

7/25/2025

0 Comments

 
Trying local flavors of snacks like potato chips (crisps for my English friends), is one of our favorite activities to do when traveling abroad. Have you done it?! 

This post is part of a series: July 2025 European Grocery Store Finds • Expats in Portugal


​Classic Portuguese Flavored Chips (Crisps)


​One very portuguese flavor of chips you will find when living in Portugal or while on holiday in Portugal is Leitão. 
​
Picture
Trying Portuguese Chips (Crisps) - Leitao Flavor | Portugal Food Blog

What Is Leitao?

Leitão is tender, roast suckling pig marinated in a molho (sauce) with garlic, herbs, and a peppery finish.
​

​

Snack Day Leitao Chips are made with óleo de girassol (sunflower oil). You can check the nutrition facts and ingredients below:

​Lidl Leitao Chips Review


​I'm a big fan of the leitao chips. I think they are a fun, very Portuguese flavor of crisps to try. I love that they have chosen wavy, ridge chips for this flavor. 

Picture

While they aren't a flavor I want every single time, when you're in the mood for something a bit different they can be just what the doctor ordered. I love the peppery bite and I'm never mad I bought them.

Chef Select Canja de Galinha SEM Batata Review – Lidl Portugal Chicken Soup Taste Test

7/25/2025

0 Comments

 
I saw a reel this week about what it's like being married to a Portuguese. The woman was sitting on the beach on a super hot day and her husband went to get her a snack and comes back with a bowl of steaming soup... 

This comically illustrates how the Portuguese feel about soup.

The Portuguese love soup. I love soup. I would happily eat soup on a hot beach. 
​
This post is part of a series: July 2025 Lidl Grocery Store Finds • Americans in Portugal



​Ready made Soup in Portuguese Grocery Stores
​

Portuguese grocery stores tend to have a nice selection of ready made soups in the refrigerated section and a few in the freezer section (like this green one and this orange one - coming soon). 

You'll find the famous caldo verde (green soup) made with greens like kale or collard greens and chouriço. Aside from that you'll find a variety of vegetable based soups, mostly creamy, and most with potatoes. 

​But sometimes you just want some chicken soup! 

Chicken Soup in Portugal


For whatever reason I've found it difficult to find a basic chicken soup in Portugal. Of course you can make your own and that's always the best, but sometimes you aren't up for that. 

Bouillon cubes  are popular in Portugal, but you don't commonly see premade chicken stock or chicken broth to use as a base for soup or other cooking purpose unlike in the US where you will find an aisle full of vegetable, chicken, and beef stock and broth options. 
​​
When I saw this chicken soup at Lidl I had to give it a try! 
​

​Chef Select Canja Galinha Sem batata


Chef Select Canja Galinha Sem Batata
is a chicken noodle soup without potatoes. Many ready-to-eat soups in Portugal contain potatoes, whether in chunks or blended for texture and thickness. 
​
Picture
Chef Select Canja Galinha Sem Batata | Lidl Chicken Soup

This chicken soup from Lidl receives an A nutrition score and comes in a single serve package which you can microwave, but I opt to reheat on the stovetop personally. 

Lidl Canja de Frango Ingredients and Nutrition Facts


What I love about the fresh soups throughout Portugual is they tend to have a short ingredient list that you can feel good about. 

Ingredients: Shredded cooked chicken, carrots, onion, salt, parsley, durum wheat noodles, mint. 

Picture
Canja de Frango Ingredientes & Nutrition Facts

​Allergens: Contains Gluten! 
Also warns that that it could contain vestiges of other allergens like crustaceans, eggs, fish, soy, milk, mustard, mollusks etc. 

Protein: 4.7g protein per 100 grams. This bowl is about 400 grams, so thats almost 19 grams of protein from this single serving of soup. 
​

How To Reheat Lidl Chicken Soup

Microwave: 3 Minutes at 850 watts will do the trick according to the package instructions. 

I opted to reheat in a pan on my single burner cooktop. 
Picture

Plenty of Noodles in Chef Select Canja Galinha


​Plenty of noodles like Ancini di Pepe make this simple chicken soup more hearty. 
​
Picture

Lidl Canja Galinha Review:


​Now piping hot, you can see the glistening broth of this cozy chicken soup. Shreds of chicken were not bountiful, but were present. Plenty of noodles and a simple, comforting broth made it a pleasure to eat this chicken soup. 

Picture
Comforting, warm chicken noodle soup from Lidl - Will buy again!

I really enjoyed Lidl's Canja Galinha Chicken Noodle Soup and would rebuy! 

What to serve with chicken soup: 
  • Enjoy with saltine crackers
  • Portuguese Bread and Portuguese Olive Oil
  • Side Salad
  • Some crisp refreshing fruits like grapes or sliced apples

Cadbury Roundie Review -  The Wafer Of My Dreams

7/20/2025

0 Comments

 
I've always loved Cadbury Chocolate. The eggs were a seasonal favorite (this kind and this kind), but the dairy milk chocolate bars, too, were deliciously creamy and dangerous. 

When we were handed this bag of Cadbury Roundies I thought "Oh man. This is going to be good."

​Spoiler Alert - I wasn't wrong. 


​Cadbury Roundie


​This Cadbury Roundie travel exclusive bag came with 10 individually wrapped wafer cookies. 

Picture

Each foil-wrapped wafer has a sticker on the bottom which reads:

"Cadbury Breakaway Milk Chocolate Biscuits. Wafers layered with cocoa filling covered in milk chocolate. Contains wheat, gluten, milk, soy. May contain egg, tree nuts, other cereals containing gluten."
​
Picture

Bearing that in mind, I suppose I can't recommend these to any food allergy buddies... 

Cadbury Roundies Nutrition Information and Ingredients 

Picture

Inside the Cadbury Roundie


The Cadbury Roundie features light and crunchy wafers with chocolate in between each layer. Classic Cadbury dairy milk chocolate surrounds this delightful disc. It feels like a special treat eating these as they are individually wrapped and decadent. One is the perfect amount. 
​
Picture

Thought these were delicious. If you like Cadbury Chocolate and you like wafers, you will love Cadbury Roundies!

Looking For A Drink With a Tangy, Tropical Twist? | Compal Manga, Maracuja, Limao Juice Review

7/20/2025

0 Comments

 

Compal Manga, Maracujá, Limão Sumo


​We recently tried Compal's mango, passionfruit and lemon juice and I've got to say it's a good one. 

Mango nectar can be quite thick and viscous as well as very sweet. On the other hand passion fruit is usually a light and tart juice. 

That makes the combination of mango and passionfruit a beautiful pairing! 

Great to drink on its own, chilled, or as the base of a fruit smoothie (loved it with frozen blueberries) this is a fun juice blend to try while you are in Portugal. 

Looking for an easy cocktail idea?


​​We recently had an anniversary mimosa brunch and I think this mango-passionfruit juice would make a fun twist on a classic mimosa.

Swap out the traditional orange juice for this and see what you think! :)

What is Compal Anyway?

Compal is a brand-name in Portugal with a reputation for high quality juices and nectars. You can find it in major grocery stores in Portugal such as Continente, Auchan, and Pingo Doce as well as discount grocery stores like Lidl and Aldi Portugal.

Matinal Queijo Fresco + Proteina Review - Is The Extra Protein Worth The Cost?

7/20/2025

0 Comments

 
Portugal has a love of dairy. You will find aisles of cheeses, yogurts and the like in a Portuguese grocery store.

​And for whatever reason, sometimes people with a history of lactose intolerance in the US (hi, it's me!) can consume all manner of dairy in Portugal, problem free. YAY! 

Queijo Fresco (Fresh CHeese) Cups 


With this wide open door of opportunity and a desire to add some more easily accessible protein into our days, we started grabbing queijo fresco cups, first from the grocery store Lidl and in this case from Continente. 
​

What Does Queijo Fresco Mean?

Queijo Fresco means Fresh Cheese in Portuguese.

These cheeses are typically soft and creamy, almost like a cousin to fresh mozzarella imo. These fresh cheeses come in a cup and you can scoop them out with a spoon or I suppose turn them upside-down and slice them as shown below
Picture
Matinal Queijo Fresco + Proteina | High Protein Cheese in Portugal

One day recently we saw that there was an "extra protein" version of the name brand Matinal's queijo fresco at the local continente. Each cup would pack 10g of protein! 

Portuguese Fresh Cheese Nutrition Facts

Picture
Matinal Queijo Fresco + Proteina Nutrition Information | Portugal Food & Travel Blog


​Matinal Queijo Fresco + Proteina Review - Is The Extra Protein Worth The Cost?


In our opinion, no.

You know how sometimes when you make a drink with a protein/nutrition powder it has that gritty taste? You basically think to yourself "This doesn't taste that good, but I'll still drink it because  _____" Fill in the blank of whatever benefits you're trying to get from it. 

That's how we felt about this product. Sure you are getting a couple extra grams of protein per cup, but at what cost?

Besides the slightly higher monetary cost, you are also paying a higher price in that you loose the smooth and satisfying texture of this fresh cheese and replace it with a grittier, less enjoyable experience. :( 

For us, we will stick with the regular fresh cheese cups. They have around 7-8g of protein per cup anyways and actually taste good. :)

What is continente?! 


Oh by the way, are you wondering what Continente is? Continente is a Portuguese grocery store, a popular supermarket. It's actually more of a hypermarket. For an American, think of it as a Portuguese Target or Walmart. Closest comparison I can make. The larger locations have a full grocery store as well as beauty, toys, tools, home & garden, clothing, pharmacy, optometrist, and a cafe!

Continente Magnificos Pipoca e Caramelo Ice Cream Review - Magnum Double Star Chaser Dupe?

7/20/2025

0 Comments

 
I'll never forget the first time I had a Magnum Double Star Chaser Ice Cream. 

It was a hot summer day in the Algarve, volunteering near a Continente. A young Ukranian man we had recently met was crossing the street toward us. He thought we'd like an ice cream on such a hot day. :) 

Not only did that random act of kindness totally make our day, he unknowingly picked one of the most delicious ice creams I had ever had - popcorn and caramel. 

Fast forward a couple years and I saw this Continente version and had to try it. 

Continente Magníficos - Pipoca e Caramelo

This limited edition ice cream at Continente grocery store in Portugal is clearly trying to compete with the name brand Magnum Double Star Chaser's caramel and popcorn ice cream.

​​Continente Magníficos Pipoca e Caramelo Ice Cream Review


If you're looking for a novelty ice cream on a stick flavor this summer and you see a box of pipoca e caramelo ice cream at Continente, go ahead and grab it. Especially if you're a salty/sweet combo lover! 

This ice cream is a delight with the sweet/salty contrast and the textural interest of the popcorn, chocolate shell, and the caramel ribbons. 

Is it an exact dupe for the Magnum Double Star Chaser? I'd say no, not quite, but it's close. The Double Star Chaser has a very pronounced caramel layer inside the chocolate outer shell, offering a different intensity. (See photos from our Lagos Zoo Visit where I indulged in the double star chaser for a second time - coming soon)

Still, this is a solid product from Continente. :)

DIY Air Fryer Fish and Chips | Continente Portugal Frozen Battered Fish Review

7/20/2025

1 Comment

 

If you're looking for solid Fish and Chips in Algarve, I can recommend Lara's Plaice in Albufeira and The Water Dog in Armacao de Pera. Two very different styles and atmospheres, but both yummy and repeatable. 

Unfortunately time, location, and budget won't always permit to go to a fish and chips joint, so the freezer aisle will have to do! 
​

​Continente Filetes de Pescada com Ovo


​We found "fish filets with egg" (filetes de pescada com ovo) at the local Continente and wanted to give them a try in the air fryer.

As we were cooking these in the air fryer, we followed the package instructions of cooking the filets without defrosting at 200C (392F) for 11-13 minutes. 

Add to Cart: Beer Battered Fish


The Result: 
​

The result was a tasty, simple fish sandwich dinner perfect for a busy weeknight meal.

We served it on a long fresh baked Portuguese roll called a cacetinho, or french roll, topped with ketchup and iceburg lettuce. Add some french fries (chips for brits) and you're sorted! 
​
Picture

Okay obv this isn't the same as a true British Fish + Chips and air frying a battered fish fillet is never going to be the same as deep frying, but still this is a solid option for an easy and quick meal. :)
