Blissmo March Intro Box

 I got my Blissmo box about 2 weeks ago and at this point i've tried everything so I can review it. This was the Fitness Foods choice for my introduction box, and I'm not sure how much it actually costs (value wise) but I don't mind because I like it a lot!

I don't know if you can see in this picture, but the Vanilla Orgain Protein Shake spilled all over everything and kind of dried into a crust...I couldn't try this product because it had gone bad from being open and was actually curdled... The chocolate one was pretty good, it's not too sweet which I like. It's a LOT of calories (255 I think) which I actually really like since I haven't been eating much lately (because of my breakup). It's also good for me because I don't eat much in the mornings so this is an easy thing to have instead. The texture is a bit too thick though...but overall I like it.

Sorry about this picture, i'm not sure how to rotate it on the blog! If you know please let me know :) Anyway, the Flax Crackers were AMAZING. I LOVE THEM. I love flax though, and seasoned crackers, so these were great. I'm probably going to buy a bunch from Amazon now. 

The dried mango was very good too, a little pricey on Amazon but I still likd it. 

The Plant Fusion powder/protein shake was an absolute fail for me...I tried mixing it with both milk and water (it asks for water) but couldn't get it to mix AT ALL. I could tell it was tasty...but it just ended up being a bunch of clumps in my water/milk and I ended up dumping it out.


I liked the Larabar, i've heard a lot about them but have never wanted to spend money on them. It was good, but nothing different than a Luna bar/Clif bar kind of thing.

The Blueberry Almond Kutoa bar on the other hand was amazing, which is surprising because I hate blueberry. It was filling (again something like 230 calories) and tasted great and unique. Unfortunately I can't find this to buy anywhere beside on their company website....and it's quite pricey.

Anyway, that's my review! I'm signed up for the 3 month subscription so I should be choosing my next theme soon :)

Love With Food - March 2012 Box Review

 I got my first Love With Food box on Wednesday! I'm pretty excited because the products are AMAZING. I actually have only a couple left to finish at this point. To recap, Love With Food is $14 a month for a box full of gourmet samples, which you can find the full products on their site to buy. They also donate a meal to charity for every box they sell! They give great discounts on the products to their members. So even if you don't want to buy the monthly box you can still join for free and get their discounts. Also, if you use the coupon LOVEVIP you can get your first box for free!

 Most all of these products you can find on their site under "offers."

 These Asian Jerky strips are amazing! They suggest heating them up but I ate them just as they are and loved them! They're a little pricey on the site even after the discount, but I've never really bought jerky before so this may be normal.

The Yoga Vive Chips are delicious! They are crunchy and taste strawberry and apple. This is one of the best products in the box in my opinion! I haven't tried the Vanilla Fig Bar yet but I'm looking forward to it because I know how good figs are nutritionally.

I haven't tried the Hemp Hearts yet but will probably put them in my cereal or yogurt, pretty excited about these since they seem so unique. The box came with 2 Dark chocolate coffee bars, but I ate one already :).  They're pretty good, but I've had better dark chocolate coffee bars for cheaper.

The box also came with small 5 samples of Stash's granola bars, but the picture I had of them isn't loading right on my computer for some reason. Unfortunately I did eat all of them (or fortunately because they were so good!) but the flavors were a mixture of peanut butter, chocolate, almond, cherry and other goodness. They're quite pricey actually...but I think it's because they are such great quality. They don't taste grainy or bready like other granola bars, these are extremely good-both in taste and texture.

So if you want to try out a free box of Love With Food, or just sign up for the deals, go here!
