Upon opening the box, you get a lovely bit of inspiration. Love!


The Goods Lineup

 
 
Caveman Cookies {2}
 
{I'm on the fence about these. I love that they are made from the simplest of ingredients...no refined sugar, just nuts/seeds/honey/fruit. I tried one, but it didn't grab me by the taste buds and scream...EAT ANOTHER ONE.}
 
Barbara Llewellyn Granola
 
{This was pretty good. I mixed it in my morning Greek yogurt. I have to say, I like my granola better...this was a little to sweet for me.}
 
Enjoy Life Seed & Fruit Mix
 
{This was a lovely addition to the 'pump bag mix'. It was sweet, but not too sweet. It doesn't have any nuts though.}
 



 
 
Pro Bar Bolt Organic Energy Chews
 
{This would be great if I was in training, and not breastfeeding. I try to stay away from things like this for now. I gave it to my friend Nancy, and haven't heard back yet about it.}
 
 
Body Glove Surge Gel
 
{I gave this to my friend Nancy. I haven't heard back yet if she's tried it.}
 


 
 
GarukaBars
 
{I am in LOVE with this bar...seriously. This is one of the best bars that I've had in a long time. I will be ordering more of these bars soon. You can request a sample bar of your own here.}
 
Health Warrior Chia Bar in Acai Berry
 
{I haven't tried this yet, but it's in the rotation for 'pump bag bars'. I did like reading about the company on the Kona Kase blog...they seem like a fun bunch. You can check out that post here.}
 


 
 
Perky Jerky in Turkey
 
{B-Real tried this, and really liked it. I'm not a jerky fan. I don't know if it gave him any more energy than other jerky, but he said it had great flavor and texture. That's a win in my book.}
 
 
 
~*~*~*~
 
The Lowdown: I think the overall value of this box is great, although not all the products fit my lifestyle.  I workout, but I'm training for a marathon...so the energy boost items don't really apply to me {I wouldn't take them even if I was training since I'm breastfeeding still}.
 
The customer service was A+ at Kona Kase, and Taylor is on the ball for sure! {I'm sure John is also, I've only had correspondence with Taylor :) }I think the concept of the Kona Kase is great, and it has introduced me to companies that I've never tried before.
