Greetings earthlings!
I decided to write a mini review of what I thought of each item that was in the
Vegan Cuts April Snack Box
(I figured this would be a good way to get my feet in the water with this blogging thing.
I want to try and do this often)
So, I did a video of opening the box however I didn't taste each product in the video so I figured i'd share with you here what I thought of each item and if I think it's good for another vegan to try or a new vegan to try etc. :)
I am going in order of what's on the vegan cuts card that's in each box!
SIMPLY STRAWS
The reusable glass straw! This straw is a must have for humans who use straws (haha!)
It's BPA-free and is diverse. It can be used for cold and hot drinks! That's fabulous because you don't have to worry about it melting or contaminating whatever it is you are consuming. I like this straw and would love to buy different colors. Great for summertime especially if you will be outside!
NUTTZO
This is the organic gourmet nut butter that I was giggling about in my unboxing video!
This goes beyond peanut butter you guys. Theres a blend of seven nuts and seeds with a hint of salt as it says on the label! It tastes hella good. Seriously. I liked it a lot but I don't know if I would purchase a full size. Only reason why would be because I'm not much of a peanut butter (nut butter in general) consumer. (Okay I have to giggle about that too. I'm 21 but my mind is sometimes that of a 12 year old school boy)
This is perfect for children especially if it's in little packets and you want to change up the normal peanut butter and jelly routine that we all are familiar with. Is it something adults would want? I'm sure! It has a great flavor and I would consume it again but i'm not a huge fan of nut butters to begin with because I don't eat much of that however, I will consume it if it's in front of me probably!
VIGILANT EATS
Now this was the Oat-based superfood cereal! The one I thought I might get sick from consuming only because the flavor I received in the snack box had mulberry in it. (Mulberry makes me sneeze and get hives all over my body haha!) My sister decided to step up to the plate and taste this little baby and see if it's any good. The flavor I received was "Maca Espresso Mulberry" Now I was surprised my sister decided to try this because she's not a fan of coffee or ANYTHING coffee..However i'm a major caffeine addict/lover (yes I know it's a filthy and dirty addiction AND it's absolutely AWFUL for my a.d.h.d. but I'm young and dumb so I love coffee and a good adrenaline rush. The crash sucks of course.
Now back to the product! I thought you were supposed to heat it up with water or milk alternative but my sister said "no Ana you can eat it cold like a bowl of cereal!" She really liked it! She said surprisingly enough she thought she would hate it cause the coffee but she actually loved each bite. I'm so intrigued as to how the other flavors taste now! I think I noticed these in Whole Foods. They are a bit pricy for my particular budget but they are worth having every now and then or all the time if you want! *GREAT for traveling!*
NII FOODS
THIS WAS THE YUMMIEST "HEALTHY" BAR I'VE HAD IN A LONG TIME!
I received the almond chocolate chip flavored bar and my goodness it was so damn good!
I definitely want to try more flavors! I never had this product before receiving it in the snack box and I'm happy I did cause i'm hooked!
MEDITERRANEAN SNACKS
These were the Baked Lentil Chips that I opened up in the video as well! At first I didn't like the flavor all too much because it was kind of confusing! I was expecting it to possibly taste like a pita chip?! (those are my b*tch guys. I love pita chips but they don't love me in return...LONG story)
However, the lentil chips did give the word chip a whole new meaning. I recently turned 21 years old on May 5th and I had a beer in the afternoon while I was waiting for my family to let me out of my room (a surprise was waiting for me haha) and I needed something to munch on and these chips were sitting next to my bed so I ate them and you know what? They taste great with beer you guys!
Even if you don't have a beer they taste good after you have a few chips especially. I said in my video that I felt these would be good on a vegan sandwich! They might also taste good dipped into hummus or something like hummus and it would be great! I definitely want to try more flavors as I wasn't crazy for the sea salt ones. A little too bland for me but they were good none the less!
NUMI ORGANIC TEA
These were the little packets that I thought you could make a cool ASMR video with! (hahaha)
I have not tried these little tea's yet but I think i'm going to pass on drinking them as I would rather use some of the tips they have on the back of the packets. I want to cook rice in these cause I think it would be so good! Especially with the carrot curry flavor. I can't see myself drinking that at all you guys but I think I would like to cook rice in it. It could be like vegetable broth technically that's what it is, right?! So these things I think are brilliant if used in replacement of vegetable broth. I haven't used them yet but I can't imagine I would have an issue with them if I use them like I would use broth! I give them a thumbs up for being so diverse and being something i've never seen before! I'll keep y'all posted on these little guys!
MCT LEAN
This is the protein powder that i'm cheating on Vega protein powder with!
SHHH don't tell cause she get's mad!
I like this stuff you guys! The flavor is good and it's smooth like Vega!
It's not too gritty as most protein powders are guilty of being.
It has great health benefits if you're drinking it for those purposes.
I'm using this as a meal replacement and its ideal for that purpose.
I'm curious to try other flavors!!!
OATWORKS
THIS JUICE SMOOTHIE THING IS BOMB! IT TASTES SO GOOD
I can't tell you guys enough how much I love this little drink!
It totally reminds me of the Sambazon drinks (I cheated on Sambazon with this OATWORKS drink from Heaven and it was so totally worth it! I'll pray about it later so i'll be forgiven)
It's an oat-powered fruit smoothie as they describe in on the label AND to top it off it's 100% fruit juice! TOTALLY worth the buy you guys. Please try this stuff. It tastes like angels.
<3
The flavor I was so lucky to try was "pomegranate blueberry"!
THUMBS UP!!!
I hope you enjoyed my written review of the items I tried!
