Vitalicious :: A Review

Last week I received the Vitalicious SuperSampler Pack to review.  Inside the box was a wonderful assortment of VitaTops, VitaBrownies, and Mini VitaCakes.

It included:

2 Apple Crub VitaTops

2 Triple Chocolate VitaTops

2 Fudge Peanut Butter Chip VitaTops

2 Cran Bran VitaTops

2 Banana Chocolate VitaTops

2 Banana Nut

2 Deep Chocolate VitaTops

2 Chocolate Mint VitaTops

2 Golden Corn VitaTops

4 VitaBrownies

6 Mini Fudge Chocolate VitaCakes

The first thing I did was put them all in the freezer.  Since they are all-natural and don't contain preservatives or artificial ingredients of any kind you are suppose to put them in the freezer within 24 hours of receiving them.  They will remain fresh for nine months in the freezer or five days at room temperature or in the refrigerator.

Throughout the week I took one out each day to try.  With such a wide variety it was hard to pick which one to try so I didn't look at the name and just grabbed one from the freezer. Since they are in the freezer you can microwave them or let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes to thaw.  I was never in a hurry to eat one so I just let it sit out for a few minutes to thaw. 

With each being 100 calories or less they make a great snack, especially at night.  When I was craving something small and sweet after dinner these really hit the spot.  After thawing at room temperature the cake part was moist and fluffy.  I liked the Fudge Peanut Butter Chip and Chocolate Mint ones the best and the amount of protein and fiber in each surprised me, much higher than most snacks. Also, the amount of Vitamin D and other vitamins was huge plus!  

Have you tried any Vitalicious products before?

The Time Traveler's Wife

Have you read it or seen the movie? I just finished the book and loved it. I have to admit I watched the movie in the middle of reading the book, but this wasn't completely intentional. On my last trip I didn't take the book with me because I was told what a tear jerker it was and I didn't want to be crying in the middle of the airport as I read the book. I was half way through the book, dying to know what happens, and they ended up showing the movie on my flight. Of course the movie was different, but I enjoyed it. I still wanted to finish reading the book and I'm so glad that I did. The whole time traveling thing is really what caught my attention and made me when to read book. I wanted to know what that was all about. Well written and beautifully developed characters made this a wonderful read for me. What about you? What did you think?
