Hello friends... its been a while. I am embarrassed that product testing is what has brought me out of my cave, but well, here I am.
I recently signed up to join this community called Influenster. Basically they look at your profile and send you full size products to test out for free. All you have to do is write honest reviews on those products. And when I say honest, I mean honest. You don't have to try to promote the products if you don't like them. You just have to give your actual thoughts and let others know.
So that brings me to today. I got this SlimFast Voxbox (a voxbox is what they call the box you get of products) last week and i have been just staring at it. I am honestly not too excited about Slim Fast. I used to drink this stuff in law school as a quick on the run breakfast. But I thought those days were behind me now.
I got four things: High Protein Shake in Vanilla Cream, meal replacement bar in Dark Chocolate Sea Salt, 100 Calorie Snack drizzled crisps in cinnamon bun swirl, and baked crisps in sour cream and onion.
The shake tasted okay, exactly what I had remembered from my school days. An easy breakfast that definitely kept me feeling full until the late morning. I preferred the chocolate flavor to the vanilla one I got, and they definitely taste much better when they are chilled.
The meal replacement bar was tasty. The only problem is that is was small. I do not think I could handle using it as an actual meal replacement. I would probably have to add a simple salad or something to it to make myself really feel like I ate something.
Both of the 100 calorie snack packs were good, but again small. This is usually the case though with those 100 calorie packs of anything. This is why I would rather just stick to fruit or veggie sticks instead. But I will say, that for a craving, these would probably do.
The one thing I did like a lot about the products is that they are all packed with protein. That makes it a lot easier to avoid a lot of snacking between meals for sure. The shake has 20 grams and the meal bar had 10. Right there is close to your protein allotment for the day (i think). So while I am not on a weight loss mission (well, okay I am, but not really that strict... i only have that stubborn 5-10 lbs I have been perpetually trying to get off since I was 29), this would be a good sub in now and then for when I need a quick meal but don't have time.
