Sprout VoxBox

I recently received a box of healthy goodies from Influenster to try out. The box contained:

• Orgain Organic Protein Powder in Vanilla Bean ($23.99)
• Ecos Hypoallergenic Laundry Detergent ($7.25-$16.90)
• Hair Food Moisture Collection ($9.99)
• Eatsmart Three Bean Tortilla Chips ($3.99)
• Dark and Tempting Curate Bar ($1.89)

Some Influensters also received the Vichy LiftActiv Serum in their box, but I did not.

So far my favorite product in the box has been the chips. They were essentially tortilla chips bursting with flavor. I ended up breaking them up into serving size packs (Influenster sent a full size bag!), so that I could enjoy the chips on the go and at work.

I have also tested out the protein powder. The flavor is about on par with the other plant based proteins out there. I normally enjoy this type of protein, so I enjoyed this one as well. My one recommendation is to not use this in making baked protein treats. I tried to make a protein brownie and it just turned out to be a soupy mess. This product does make a good post-workout snack for those who don't want to drink a whey protein drink.

The Dark and Tempting Curate Bar was pretty good. I ended up bringing it to work as a snack. There isn't much to say about it as it is very similar to the other soft and chewy fruit and nut bars out there.

I received these products complimentary for testing purposes. All opinions are my own.

Freebies Update

It's been a little over a month since I posted about some review sites that I was going to test out. Out of the three new (to me) sites I posted about, I have only had success with PinchMe. I have not received any samples or promise of samples to test and review from Swaggable or CrowdTap.

As for PinchMe, I was able to get online on the day of the freebie giveaway (April 12th at 12pm) and claim my samples. It took about 10 minutes to do and I ended up claiming a total of 9 samples. I have yet to receive them in the mail, but based on when the website says they were shipped, I should be seeing them any day now.  As of right now, I am not sure what my obligations will be as far as reviewing the samples, but I'll be sure to share my opinions here. The next set of samples will be up for grabs on May 10th at 12pm.
