Influenster Revive Vox Box

Got it all free to try from Influenster to give my honest review.

Kauai Coffee, Garden Isle, Medium Roast 

I tried this coffee for the first time today. It wasn't bad but something about it wasn't what I like. The flavor was rich and the smell was invigorating. The initial taste is slightly strong but its good. I just found it had an odd aftertaste. Everything has an aftertaste but this one lingered and made me feel like my "coffee breath" was 1000 times worse than normal "coffee breath". So it was good and if I had more I'd drink it but I don't think I'll buy more on my own. But I do really like that the pod is compostable. It makes me not feel as bad buying k-cups.

Chock Full o' Nuts, Midtown Manhattan, Medium Roast 

I am not complaining. I was concerned about trying this one because it says "chock full o'nuts" But there really wasn't a nut flavor. It was more like a regular cup of joe. i will say it was a smooth cup of joe. It wasn't bitter at all but still had a strong flavor. I would definitely try it again. 

Hills Bros, Medium Roast

Not bad but not great. I guess I am used to my coffee with chicory so most other coffees don't really compare. I will say it wasn't bad but it wasn't strong enough for my liking. I probably wouldn't purchase it in the future. 

Vanilla Plnt by Plant Protein Powder

Okay, I can usually stomach anything that isn't Cinnamon.   I could NOT drink this one.  I tried.  I really did but something in this actually made me gag.  I tried multiple times to swallow it and I gagged each time.  I dumped the rest down the drain.  So yea I have no idea if this is filling but it made me *blah* so it would work great as a weight loss option....

Cookies and Cream Next Step Fit N' Full Shake Powder 

Surprisngly my favorite.  I actually enjoyed it.  I didn't think I would like it because I am not big on Cookies and Cream but I really liked it.  It also kept me full and didn't leave an awful after taste in my mouth.  I may actually give this one another try. 

Strawberries and Cream Whey Tech Pro 24 Powder

This made me remember I am actually not a fan of meal replacement drinks.  There is something in them that triggers my involuntary gag reflex.  But I managed to drink this whole thing with only a couple gags.  And its not that it tastes bad, quite contrary.  This actually tastes very good for being a Protein Smoothie.  I will say it is smooth, especially if you use the tumbler to shake it up.  It tastes like you are drinking melted strawberry ice cream.  That isn't a bad thing.  Just one of the ingredients doesn't agree with my taste buds.  I drank this for breakfast and was pleasantly surprised by how full I felt.  I was still full after cutting my front & back yards and cleaning the kitchen.  4 hours later I finally got a bit peckish and had a late lunch.  So this was a great meal replacement.  Had I not done all that exercise I may have stayed full much longer.  I think I will try this again in the future. 

SheaMoisture Fruit Fusion Coconut Water Weightless Shampoo & Crème Rinse

Why is this so expensive?!?!  I loved how it made my hair look.  It was soft and shiny but not weighted down.  And it smelled divine.  I would love to continue using this but my checkbook said no.  Maybe with some coupons and a sale.  Regardless, I would definitely recommend trying this. 

SnackWell's Biscuit Thins, French Vanilla Latte 

These were delicious!  So crunchy and full of flavor.  It was like eating a Vanilla Latte.  That sounds weird but it really was good.  They were even better when dipped into a cup of coffee.  Yum!
