Kona Kase is A Keeper and Special Deal



I  have always liked to try new kinds of energy bars or health food. This doesn’t mean they taste great all the time,  but it is good to change things up once in awhile. If you too, are looking for some new energy bars, energy food, or just healthy snacks, well Kona Kase is a perfect.


This is my second Kona Kase, and I must say that I was even more impressed with the quantity and quality of items.

 April Kona Kase





ZING Chocolate Cocunut and Cashew Cranberry Orange


I have heard good things about the Zing bars before, but I had never tried them. I really like the coconut, so I gave the Chocolate Coconut one a try first , and it was just delicious. I have yet to try the Cashew Cranberry Orange, but if it was anything like its counterpart, I am sure it is tasty.







Rickland Orchard Greek Yogurt Bar
Greek yogurt seems to be the craze lately. And while I am not the biggest fan of any sort of yogurt, I thought I would give this bar a try since it was mixed with  Blueberry and Acai.  Since trying this bar I have been trying to find some at my local grocery store, as these bars were fantastic.   A great bar for a quick grab and go!

Power Bar Performance Energy Blend

This is like apple sauce/ baby food. While I understand it was made to give energy, and was made with real fruit, I could not get over the texture. Like I said, it was like baby food and so was the texture. I could taste all the fruit flavors though, and I think this would be great for a runner.



Trachealth Chia and Coconut
This Trachealth CHIA portable drink mix packet sounds great.  But what exactly is Chia Seeds I wondered?

Chia has been known to fuel the Tarahuma tribe on their 100 mile non-stop runs. It is also said that the Aztec warriors consumed one tablespoon of chia seeds before going to battle to sustain them all day. Unique ability to absorb over 10 times its weight in water to promote prolonged hydration and sustained energy, Excellent plant-based source of antioxidants, vitamins, proteins, amino acids and minerals for building efficient lean muscle. Packed with Omega-3 fatty acids. - Chia Website

Journey Bar Savory Sea Salt
I must admit,  I was not the biggest fan of this bar. I just did not like the salty taste, when the texture seemed like it should be sweet.  The good thing about this bar, however, it that it is low in sugar, so no sugar rush included!


Picky Bars


These bars are gluten free and dairy free energy bars.  I got to try the All In Almond Bar, and it was very good.  It was made out of Almond Butter and sweetened with Agave.  Almond butter is one of my favorites, so this was gone from my box quickly for a on the go lunch.


Soy Joy Strawberry Bar


I have tried these before after a run I did a couple months back, and they are very tasty.  The bars are also great on the waist line at only 130-140 calories.  It reminds me of a healthier Strawberry fig newton.

And last my FAVORITE

Barbara Llewellyn Brown Sugar Rosemary Cashews


I immediately started snacking on these right out of the box. These were the best part of the whole box.  And yes, they are very addicting.  I really can appreciate the mix of flavors in this cashew creation, it was great on the taste buds. I highly recommend them!

What I like most about Kona Kase,  not only that it was packed with the yummy Barbara Llewellen Cashews, but that they give so many options for so many different taste buds and varieties of diets.  I think that this box is so great because it caters to so many varieties of people as well.

If would like to see what is packed into other boxes you can HERE.  And if  you too would like to join the Kona Kase fun, you can get your first box 50% off HERE.

Until next time

Tip Top Tidbit Tuesday (a little late) Health and Fitness Bulu Box


My Tip Top Tidbit Tuesday was supposed to have posted last night, but there was some error on my part my not pushing publish. However, I still wanted to share with you my Tip Top Tidbits, however they will just have to be on this beautiful Wednesday, rather than Tuesday. 




I have been trying to give a little variety to my Tip Top Tidbit Tuesday,  however, there is just so much I want to share and not enough time to share it or blog it. You all know I love subscription boxes as well, yet, I also want everyone to know that sub boxes are not the only thing I like to post about. However, this Tip Top Tidbit Tuesday is focusing on a fitness and health box. But with summer just around the corner this box is perfect.



This Tuesday  I am going to share with you one of my favorite health and fitness boxes out there, Weight Loss Bulu Box. It is just one of those boxes, I just am so excited to get each month.  Not only do they have great products, but I have been equally impressed with there the people behind Bulu Box.  With Bulu Box weight loss box, lets hope that it helps to get in Tip Top shape for the swimsuit/bikini weather coming up.


Also, Stay tuned for a great Promo code, for a free code at the end of my post as well.

April Weight Loss Bulu Box



Stivii


This is a sweetener made out of all natural Stevia. This is so convenient,  and this month must be the month for no calorie sugar, because I have received about 3 different kind of sweeteners from other sub boxes. However, this one was by far the best.  The reason you ask, well it was travel sized and dispenses the little tablet of Stivii with the push of the button.  Perfect for my on-the-go lifestyle.

EBoost Natural Energy



I am very excited to try this out. I try to stick to calorie and sugar free energy drinks , but sometimes there are not very many options. Not only does EBoost give you energy, but it also as vitamins for healthy immune system.  That is so great, I could not ask for a better energy drink. I cannot wait to give this a try. So far the Bulu Box has not disappointed.  Have you tried EBoost Natural Energy yet?

Almased


As a women on- the-go, I am always looking for quick and fast meals. Almased sounds like it could be very good. It is made out of honey, soy and yogurt. Not too bad.  It is said to “ stimulate healthy, long-term weight loss”. I  am definetly looking for something that is quick, nourishes me, yet does not make me gain weight, but helps promote weight loss. I  am excited to give this a try.

Barre

At first taste I was not sure about this bar, but I did not judge right away. The taste kinda grows on you, and it really is quite good for a gluten free snack. What I like most about this bar is that it is made out of all natural ingredients, is only 200 calories, so it is perfect for a before workout snack.

ONNIT Shroon Tech Spot



These are a calorie burning energy supplement that helps give energy for working out, without the jitters or the crash.  I tend to be very tired after a long day at work, and the last thing that I have energy for is working out, so I love to try out new natural energy supplements., that can help. I cannot wait to try these out.

Last, I appreciate that Bulu also provides great reading material. This information is not only in the box, but also on the website. This month the pamphlet in the box was 5 tips for Weight Loss.  What I appreciate most about reading articles like that, is that, although I might know some of the information already, reading it again motivates me to actually take action  on what I have read. My goal from reading this  article is to start working out in the morning.  I will let you know how that progresses.




 You can try Bulu Box now, and get your first month free using Promo Code BULUGAN131, just go HERE for more information. And let me know what you think about Bulu Box. 

Until next time
