I received a coupon to try Post Honey shreddies and am pleased that I tried them out; I wouldn't have picked them up to try without a free coupon. That being said the cereal is sweetened with a bit of honey so you don't need to add sugar to your cereal when you enjoy it in the morning. Alternatively they are a great snack, mid-morning, dry with that touch of honey. Shreddies are made with whole grains so the benefits associated with eating whole grains fit too.
If you decide to eat them with milk, just keep in mind, that like normal Shreddies they get soft fairly quickly. So if you don't like soggy cereal eat them as soon as you pour the milk!

Tresemme Botanique damage and recovery shampoo works well and has a nice scent. The product lathers up easily and rinses out of your hair. I'm not sure if I really noticed a lot of differences with 'fixing' my hair or repairing stress damage, but it did leave my hair feeling clean. With the price point of this product I will be purchasing the product again. -

Magnum's Double Peanut Butter Ice Cream bars are absolutely delicious and are a fabulous treat. The chocolate is decadent and the flavour combination is perfect. When I want a treat Magnum bars fit the bill. My biggest drawback is the price, they are almost prohibitively priced. I would never purchase these for my family because of the price. There are other specialty ice cream bars from smaller dairies that have delicious treats that are better suited for a family and for a budget. -

I love the TRESemme Moisture rich conditioner for several reasons. First off, it is effective, it does help to add extra moisture to my hair, which I need after working outdoors in the wind and sun all day. Second, is the price. Tresemme's conditioner works as well or better than many other much more expensive conditioners. The conditioner does not have an overpowering scent, which is important to me and I can find it in almost any store I shop at. All of these things combined make the Tresemme luxurious moisture conditioner an item worth buying! -

I work outside and definitely need a good antiperspirant. The Dove Clinical Protection works well, it goes on easily in the morning and doesn't really leave any noticeable marks on clothing. It does offer all-day protection which is great. Like most Dove products, the clinical antiperspirant is gentle on my skin and I had no adverse reaction. The one drawback is the price of the product, which is a little on the expensive side. That being said, it is similarly priced to other clinical strength antiperspirants. -

I received a sample of the Adrien Gagnon Super Energex capsules to try for Chick Advisor and was quite interested to try the product. Like most people I find that I become fatigued during the day and was hoping that the Super Energex would help to give me the promised energy boost. While I might have experienced a minor energy boost after trying the produce daily for a week, it wasn't a big one. Definitely no different than a cup of coffee in the afternoon. Additionally, the product really doesn't taste great, it has a bitter, slightly medicinal taste. Adrien Gagnon suggests mixing the product with a half glass of orange juice (or some other juice) and while that helps with the taste, I found I had a lingering bitter aftertaste that I could not get rid of.
As for ease of use, they are easy to use, you just tear off the top of the pouch and squeeze the liquid 'Super Energex' into your juice or water. It is simple to add to a glass of juice or water in the morning. I also like that the products are natural, but am slightly concerned about their concentration levels as the company warns against using the product for more than 30 consecutive days. A reason behind the warning, would have been nice!
I likely will not be purchasing the product for use for myself, but appreciate the opportunity to test it for Chick Advisor!

Where would we all be without McCain's Deep 'n Delicious Chocolate Cake? It is the perfect treat for those nights you are craving a quick chocolate fix. The cake is moist and flavourful and the icing is delicious. The price is affordable, especially when you find it on special. The ability to freeze the cake means you can even keep one or two in hiding for when that chocolate craze hits! -

I was really impressed by the Adrien Gagnon Decadent Fudge Nutriforme Bars. I've tried other energy and meal replacement bars before and they all tell you that they taste wonderful, and they don't! Every one of them tastes like flavoured cardboard.
The Nutriforme bars really do taste nice. I loved the dark chocolate flavouring of the bar. It wasn't chalky or cardboardy tasting, it actually tasted like a nice chocolate fudge. The consistency of the bar was nice too. Each bar contains 2g of fibre and 15g of protein, which is nice. The caloric intake of the bar is 270 calories. The bar is sold as a meal replacement, so I would have expected a few more calories per bar, but if you are looking to loose weight it would likely help.
Price-wise they are about on par with other nutritional bars, which is to say, greatly over-priced! That being said they work out to be about $2.30 +tax per bar when you buy them in a box of 5.
The only drawback, not with the product, but with the marketing is the Adrein Gagnon website. It isn't really easy to navigate and you can't find the nutritional value of their products online, which is a bit of a pain.
All in all, I would (and have already) recommended this product to others, pretty much on taste alone. Nutriforme has done a fantastic job with the flavouring on this bar.
I received a sample of this product to test and review.

McCain's Sweet Potato fries are the perfect treat for the end of the day! They cook up nice and crispy when you cook them in either the oven or the acti-fryer and they are delicious. I like to make a garlic dipping sauce to go with the sweet potato fries, but they taste wonderful on their own too. The only, very minor, disappointment is that they cost the same amount as the normal potato fries, but there are fewer in the bag. -

I like Mango and I like Coconut, but unfortunately I didn't really enjoy the combination of flavours in this Brookside chocolate bar. The dark chocolate was delicious, as always but I found the Mango flavouring a bit off and couldn't really taste the coconut. The coconut flakes were present and provided texture to the bar, but the taste was missing. For $3.65 a bar I would not purchase this one again, but that is primarily based on taste preference for me. The quality of the bar is there for those who better appreciate the coconut and mango flavouring Brookside has presented.
I received the bar to try as part of the Chick Adviser review club.
