Recently I received a box full of
goodies to review for Vitacost. Since the representative couldn’t tell me
exactly what products I might receive, I was pleasantly surprised with my box.
It was a mixed lot comprised mainly of health and beauty products and health
and nutrition bars and supplements.
Today I want to share my thoughts
on the bars I received and a little bit about Vitacost the company.

Promax Fit 'n Crisp Protein Snack Cinnamon Crunch:

These bars are like a cinnamon-y rice crispy treat, only
better. They are not icky sweet, and have 13 grams of protein and 140 calories.
Both my daughters loved this one, so I will buy again.

Their tag line says it all for me. They really are the best tasting,
healthy snack bars we’ve had in a long time. KIND bars are all natural with
ingredients you can pronounce.
We received 3 KIND bars: Almond and Coconut, Dark Chocolate & Cherry
Cashew, and Cranberry Almond. Each bar had its own unique quality and taste but
the one I would buy over and over again? The Almond & Coconut! It’s like a not so good for you candy bar
(think Payday) gone healthy. I am hooked and will buy again!

I wanted to love this
totally organic, healthy sounding, delicious smelling bar, but I
didn’t. I just liked it.
I could taste the dates and Agave nectar more than I
could pick up on the blueberries. My
daughter and my husband on the other hand LOVED this bar and wanted more, so I
will buy again.
This bar is made with raw and
super foods, one of them being Hemp.
Again I wanted to love this bar.
It looks like dark chocolate and smells
like Mocha. Win-Win for me.
But, I did
not like this bar at all. It is thick and dense. It leaves a vitamin taste in
your mouth. And I experienced a mild case of burps in which I could taste the
Hemp, or what I perceived to be the Hemp, I likened it to eating grass
clippings. My family didn’t care for the taste or texture of this bar either,
so we won’t buy again.

This is a huge protein bar, so you could
split it. It has 28 grams of whey protein. Overall, I liked the flavor and
consistency of this bar, but my husband liked it more. My kids thought it was
just okay. If we bought again, it would be for keeping in the car for road
trips or when hunger strikes and you can’t stop and eat.
I hope you have found these reviews
helpful. I will have another Vitacost review for you soon where I will share
the rest of the products included in my Vitacost box.
