I've used quite a few natural deodorants, and this one holds up pretty well. Because it's a deodorant and not an anti-perspirant, you still do sweat, but you stay smelling pretty good under everything but heavy exercise. I thought the product smells great and goes on well. I'm happy with it as an everyday deodorant. The only downside is that it contains baking soda, which I've learned isn't great for your skin, and it comes in a plastic tube, like most deodorant, so it's not useful if you're trying to cut down on plastic. I got it free from Chick Advisor in exchange for this honest review. -

I was shocked at how good this flavour was: truly it tasted like drinking vanilla pudding. It kept me satisfied for at least 2.5 hours, and I probably could have gone longer. No chalky flavour like the chocolate.
Went down super easy, and with 30g of protein I would definitely drink it again.

There's quite a lot of protein in this little box, and I did find it kept me satisfied for at least 2.5 hours (which for me is a lot). Chocolate flavour was good, if the littlest bit chalky.

Jason Smoothing Sea Kelp Conditioner
I really love this shampoo. It's reasonably priced, cleans well, doesn't strip your hair, and smells really great. Excellent lather. My boyfriend and I both use it to great results.

O.B. Tampons

Though I've pretty much moved over to the DivaCup for environmental reasons, I keep a few OB tampons around for emergencies. I always used applicator tampons growing up, and I can't believe I didn't try these. They're super discreet, have way less garbage, and I have no trouble using them whatsoever. -

These bars are totally edible and have decent nutritional content, but aren't particularly enjoyable to eat, thanks to the cakey/chalky texture. I liked the lemon-poppyseed flavour, though it still seems heavily synthetic. I found I really wanted to drink water after eating them. These will get the job done, but I think there are better bars out there.

I eat a fair number of protein bars and found these OK, but I wouldn't buy again. The peanut butter flavour is okay and the nutritional profile was acceptable (low sugar is always good), but I found the cakey texture a bit chalky. I prefer a bar with a chewier texture, and have found others I like better. -

The IOGO greek yogurt in plain was really tasty -- creamy, not too sour, but I really appreciate that there is a plain, unsweetened option. Lots of protein meant it helped me stay full and satisfied. The pouch format is maybe a little easier to fit in the fridge, although it's a real shame that it means the packaging is non-recyclable and will go straight to landfill. I really enjoyed the yogurt itself, and will definitely purchase again if I can find it in a traditional recyclable (and reusable) container like the other IOGO products.

BOOST Just Protein

I'm a regular protein powder user, and this one is easy breezy. It doesn't change the texture of your smoothie or drink (no grittiness or chalkiness) and you can't taste the flavour at all. I haven't tried putting it in baking but I would certainly try. I like that the it has lots of protein and not a lot of sugar or other junk. Would definitely recommend it to friends and family.

I really loved the Sanissimo Oven-baked corn crackers! They tasted like chips, and were crunchy and satisfying. I thought they were especially good with cheese on top (you could trick yourself into thinking you were having nachos!) It was not a flavour I'd ever expect from a cracker, but it was completely delicious. My only complaint is the individual packaging, which I try to avoid since I hate making garbage -- that's a major ethical factor for me in buying them again. If they were available in another packaging option, I absolutely would.
