Thank you ChickAdvisor for the opportunity to sample this product. #Gotitfree to submit an honest review.
Well, another WIN for PowerBar! Although, I would mention that the Reduced Sugar Lemon Poppy Seed is more of a desert treat than anything else. I was quite hungry so I ate it all, but felt I had enough "sugary" taste 1/2 way through. 25 g Carb minus 5 g fibre = 20 carbs. For those who are low carbers you will see that there is 17 g of sugar alcohols but since maltitol is the main sugar alchol, you can only subtract 1/2 for LC. This leaves a net 11.5 g carbs. Not great, but not horrible either; especially if you eat only 1/2 at a time as a treat.
Density and overall texture is GREAT! Well done!

I got to try this free thanks to ChickAdvisor Club! At first, I wasn't sure how "good" this was going to taste. Well, I have to tell you the Cream Chocolate PB was damn friggin delicious!
Texture, taste and the feeling of satiety was pretty darn awesome.
I am an LCHF lifestyle person and this can fit into the days where I am just slightly hungry but not really want much to eat.
My only caveat that stops me from giving 5 stars
- Net 2 grams sugar is true, but this DOES NOT EQUAL NET 2 Grams of CARBs (due to maltitol)
- Maltitol is primary sugar alcohol so only 1/2 of carbs (17) can be taken off
- Sucralose is the last ingredient
- Pricing is still on the higher end when in comparison to another product that I traditionally eat. I would only purchase when on sale.

I had the opportunity recently to be at Shoppers Drug Mart here in Saskatoon and they had this on sale from $8.99 plus a $4 coupon attached. I decided to try this (Price point was a huge factor!) I purchased the Dry to Very Dry Skin and I have to tell you I actually enjoyed this?! Shocker really. I am not a fan of the scent (never could understand companies that scent things for Dry or Very Dry Skin ~ normally scents are aggregators). Nonetheless, the effectiveness is nice. My hands are feeling the difference and I am actually "motivated" to put it on most of my body. I am not sure if it is because it is Body Milk versus a lotion, but the texture is really nice.
If you can find it on sale, then, by all means, try it! PS - 95% naturally sourced ingredients - a bonus!

This was an amazing product! Mind you i #gotthisfree via #chickadvisor and probably would have never thought that it worked. My partner for some oil and dirt on his safety clothing and we thought for sure it was ruined. The Oxyclean for 99% out! Shocked to say the least! I will fornsure be adding this alongside all the Oxy products to my laundry products. Highly recommend and suggest you find and purchase at Wal-Mart for the best price. -

#igotitfree with my premium membership and u have to tell you I was surprised at the smell (soft yet noticable) the lather (rich, luxurious & a little goes a long way!) I will definitely be purchasing this going forward as it did not react with my skin. I also felt clean afterwards yet still like a spa session! Go try it! -

What a difference in my colors AND WHITES! NOTE: I did receive this product free to test and I am now adding this to my repertoire of whiteners. I thought my whites were "ok" since I NEVER wash with colors. Well was I surprised! Bright, Crisp and almost like new again! Sweet! Like bleach without the smell or the harshness! Very impressed and worth the $9 at my local coop. I don't have many stains on my clothes but I did want to see if I could really see a difference in whites.
My whites are GLOWING! Whoop Whoop!
(what a difference from my last oxy clean review!). Not sure what the difference is but don't care since it works for me this way!

I got this free from to test from Chick Advisor and I was quite excited about it. You see, I have seen the commercials for oxy clean for years. Just never thought to purchase. Well after trying the MaxForce I will say I was unimpressed. Maybe if you have a fresh stain it would work. Generally I am careful so don't have this issue very often. So to be fair, I will say it is "average" it works ...all right. But not worth me actually spending almost $9 at my local coop to purchase. I did not find it dramatically different than my normal "add extra detergent to the stain, let it sit and then wash" routine.
But I do have a GREAT OXY CLEAN review to post - so check THAT OUT!

Boost Just Protein - Baking BLISS
Thank you Boost and ChickAdvisor, for the opportunity to review this product. I received my sample yesterday and was quite excited. As someone who has been searching for a protein powder with NO sugar, this made my day. The bonus is no added flavoring. I promptly went ahead this morning to make my protein bread (6 eggs & about 32 g of powder). I was IMPRESSED on how well it held up. My bread rose and kept its form better than the Quattro protein! Yes, I made BOTH at the same time to see a direct comparison.
Will I buy it again? Most likely yes, pending price. I have yet to see it in a store - so not sure what the pricing will be. This "JUST PROTEIN" blend could very well be my "go to" for baking (I don't drink the protein - just bake!).
#BOOSTJustProtein and #gotitfree.

I rate this as 4 Stars overall because on a personal level, I am so inundated with advertising in my news feed (not sponsored adds) that it drives me crazy. I really can't see what I really DO want to see. Albeit a free platform for individuals & businesses alike it would be nice(r) to have more control.
That being said - as a business owner, I like the opportunity to advertise and promote myself. BUT feel that I shouldn't have to take all these "courses" or learnings to figure out how to not WASTE so much money in that advertising. There seems to be elite status given to those who HIRE out someone to do their marketing instead of the small business person being able to control that and not pay for clicks that do not produce the requirement in the add.
Overall happy with it though.

My GO TO BRAND of Vitamin C. I wish I didn't have to wait to only buy it when it is on sale (then I buy LOTS). I can feel the effectiveness versus the other brands.
Worth the price just rather only purchase when on sale.
You will enjoy the flavor as well. Not overpowering (my son even sucks them instead of chewing them and he's 9).
