It's My Thing! - (Slim Fast review) #itsyourthing

I recently received a box of SlimFast products from Influenster for the purposes of my review. Being that I'm up for losing weight (stress and a knee injury have caused me to gain unwanted weight), I was game for trying these products. Who wouldn't want to lose weight by eating delicious food?! These are the products I received: Cinnamon Bun Swirl Drizzled Crisps, Creamy Chocolate Shake, Sour Cream & Onion Baked Crisps and Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Bar The first thing I tried was the Creamy Chocolate Shake... because I'm HORRIBLE about eating breakfast and know that the nutrition is important. I found the chocolate shake to be tasty without being too sweet. It satisfied my hunger without feeling too full. There was a slight chalky feel to it, but all in all I thing it was great. I give it 4 out of 5 stars. Next I tried the Sour Cream & Onion Baked Crisps because I am ALWAYS craving salty things. This was a great way to meet my craving without overeating. It was also a lot less seasoned than regular potato chips. I found the sour cream & onion flavor to be a lot more satisfying than regular chips. The chips themselves did taste different than typical chips, but not in a bad way. Just different. These definitely get 5 out of 5 stars! I eventually was needing to have a meal on the road and took the Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Bar with me. Although it's a small bar, it definitely fills you up. I did not feel hungry afterward. Also, as I said above, I'm always craving salty things... so I was extremely happy to have the sea salt in this to balance out the sweetness of the chocolate. A unique and tasty meal replacement without feeling heavy afterward. 5 out of 5 stars. Finally I had the Cinnamon Bun Swirl Drizzled Crisps. Very rarely do I crave sweet things... but when I do, I don't want them to be TOO sweet. And these crisps found that balance. They were a little too dry for my liking (I like moisture in my sweets), but when it comes to flavor they were good. I would give them a 3 out of 5 stars, only because I don't like dry sweets. I recommend SlimFast products to anyone that is looking to live a healthier life style or lose weight. Balance out the healthier meals with cardio & weight training (or your preferred method of exercise) and you're well on your way to losing weight and feeling great!
