First off I would like to thank +Influenster for the opportunity to test out these products! I was sent this box for testing purposes and all of these opinions are mine, I was not compensated.
NOW! I've struggled with weight all my life. I'm at the point of life where I am happy with how I look 94% of the time. The other 6% usually happen after I've pigged out on a buffet or something like that. When I was offered the chance to receive a SlimFast box, I jumped at the chance. One of the only times I lost weight was in High School when I did slim fast. I had a shake in the morning, a bar at school, and as sensible of a dinner as I could possibly have in a southern household where Dad deep fried just about everything. I knew this would be a great starting point.
I received my box just before a vacation. I decided to wait until after I got back to open it. In the box I got a few different products. Some I was apprehensive about, some were products I haven't heard of, and there was a familiar one that I wasn't excited about at all.
In my box I got a SlimFast vanilla flavored drink, a dark chocolate sea salt bar, a bag of sour cream and onion crisps, and a bag of cinnamon swirl snack crisps
Firsts things first; SlimFast High Protein Smoothie Meal Replacement: Vanilla Cream Contains 20g protein and only 1g of sugar with 24 vitamins and minerals. It is lactose and gluten free. Back in HS, I HATED the vanilla flavor. Let me tell you what.....they have IMPROVED greatly on flavor! It's become my new favorite. I alternate between this and strawberry. It really does keep me full until it's time for the next meal and is great to grab on the way to work or to drink right after going to the gym.
SlimFast Meal Replacement Bar: Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Flavor Contains 10g of protein, gluten free, 5 g of fiber and 18 vitamins and minerals. Another thing that's improved. IMO, nutrition bars are usually bland and dry. SlimFast has improved on this and the crisps. WOW!!! This bar was YUMMY. It didn't taste pre packaged and was filling for sure.
SlimFast 100 calories Snack: Cinnamon Bun Swirl Drizzled Crisps Contains 3g of protein and 5g fiber WOW!!! YUMMMMMYYYY These were so great! I'm definitely glad for proportioned bags, because I could eat my weight in these guys (and that's a LOT!) These were great for satisfying a sweet tooth. I just wish more stores carried them! I'm having trouble finding them.
SlimFast 100 calorie Snack: Sour Cream & Onion Baked Crisps Contains 2g protein, 5g of fiber and gluten free. Another hit! These crisps were a great alternative to chips and helped me get through some cravings. The flavor was a bit strong, but for sour cream and onion, they were definitely on point!
All in all, this box was great! I tried products I know I wouldn't have purchased otherwise and am super glad for it. I have been on the SlimFast plan since mid January and have already dropped a few pounds without feeling starved!
