Product Reviews from Lolihop!
So the weekend literally flew by. I don’t think I opened my computer at all. That’s how busy it was.
I actually have lots from the weekend I want to blog about, but I haven’t had time to write up a post. So details to come. But for now, I have finally completed my Lolihop review! I wanted to actually eat everything before reviewing, and since I know it’s really UN-helpful when people are like “ohhh it was all just SO good” I decided to split up the box of my favorite and least favorites. So the least favorites weren’t necessarily bad… just not as good as the favorites. Make sense? Cool.
The wonderful folks at Lolihop offered to send me a box of treats to review, and since I’m not one to turn down free packages, I said yes 😉
First of all, if you haven’t heard of Lolihop, they’re a subscription company that sends you a box of treats every month! It’s pretty cool, especially because you get to try all kinds of products you wouldn’t normally pick from the shelves! So here is a massive product review round up.
Top Favorites:
Popcorners– These were like popcorn meets soycrisps. The kettle flavor was lightly sweet, slightly salty, and perfectly crunchy. I’d seen these at the store, but never tried them. For 140 calories, they were very satisfying!
Gnu Fiber Bars– I’d tried these before but not the banana nut flavor. The chewy 140 calorie bar backs in a TON of fiber, so it was a great afternoon snack, because it left me full and energized.
Somersaults– I’m not sure what I thought these would be. But they were delicious! They’re really crunchy nut clusters. They had a strong sunflower seed flavor which I really enjoyed. They were delicious!
KIND Bar- At first I wasn’t too excited about this bar. It was 180 calories, and didn’t have as much fiber or protein as the Fiber bar. But it was delicious, and there is something to be said for a bar that is literally JUST fruit and nuts. If you’re into all-natural bars, this one is for you!
Food Should Taste Good Blue Corn Chips– These were delicious! I’ve had the Lime chips before but not these. They’re all natural and delicious. Better than a standard chip, although these are pretty pricy.
Least Favorites
Just to be clear, it’s not that these weren’t good, but they weren’t my favorite.
Organic Antioxidant Granola Bar- Unimpressive name, unimpressive packages, and, oh yeah, unimpressive product. It was fine, but I wouldn’t buy it again. Just nothing exciting.
Dried cherries– I’d never had dried cherries and I’d say they’re just not for me. Nothing wrong with them, again, just not what I was looking for.
Ground flaxseed- Nothing wrong with the flaxseed, but it didn’t give the nutritional info for the serving sized provided. Annoying.
Larabars– I already went off on a rant about these. Don’t worry, Larabar-lovers, we can still be friends. If you need extra calories in your diet, grab some of these. Otherwise, I think they’re too dang tiny and unsatisfying for me.
I’m sprry you didn’t like the cherries, I love dried cherries, but I know everyone is different. Like the fact that lots of people eat dried apricots and I do not like them.
I agree about Larabars. I like them, but they do not fill me up. I usually use larabars or cliff bars as a replacement when I am in the mood for a candy bar since it is nutritionally a little better, but I can’t lie – if I truly crave a candy bar, I eat one!!!
Haha yeah I’m not a big dried fruit fan in general and cherries aren’t my favorite in general, so I guess they had a lot stacked against them 😉
All this loot sounds amazing!!
And I totally agree with you about the larabars. I love thw brownie one, but it holds me over for about an hour. I actually think I like them more when I make them at home 🙂 they are handy to carry around in my purse since they are so tiny though 🙂
Hi, there! I’m new to the blog world, and I stumbled upon your blog via Twitter. I really enjoyed this post — I’m experimenting with a lot of new vegetarian foods, and I’m always excited when bloggers post reviews of foods I would actually buy! I also appreciate your honesty. Love your blog! 🙂
Thanks so much for stopping by! 🙂
A computer free weekend….I’m sure it’s good for your health! 🙂
I have had larabars, kind bars, and ground flax…the others are interesting to me. I totally agree about larabars—they’re like ground up chewed up food smashed into a tiny bar. I would have to eat three just to feel like I had a snack.
I wish we had something like this in the UK, I would love all the surprises each month!
What an awesome box! I haven’t even heard of some of these things, thanks for yhe great reviews! 🙂
freakin’ obsessed with popcorners!
Have you had other flavors? I loved the kettle corn, so I’ll definitely be trying others!
I’ve seen this delivery service thing around a few of the blogs. The company sounds cool- but I’m so picky I’m not sure it’d be worth it for me? Sigh…
It’s kind of pricy, and I’m sort of picky too, but I’m sure it’s a great way to find out about new products!
Hi! I saw your comment over at lifehalffull. I am a veggie too (vegan and my husband is vegetarian).
This company sounds really cool. I’ll have to check them out! And lol about the Larabars. They are super small and calorie dense. At least they are healthy?… ugh.
I’ve never even heard of these before! Great review 🙂
