May Kona Kase Review

I'm finally getting around to writing my Kona Kase review! I was psyched for my very first box since this fitness box seemed right up my alley- food and energy bars NOT supplements etc which I can be super wary about. Why hadn't I signed up for this before?? Dumb Laura. Anyway, I think I've found my new fitness box and they have a GREAT referral program- you get 50% when you sign up with my link! That's stellar!

This box is super cute. I love a good graphic.


First look. I should say that this box was much larger than I expected. I mean Kona Kase is only $15 so I wasn't expecting a bunch of stuff.


Boom!!! Soooo many goodies!!


Info cards-ish. Ok, the top one is a quote card, which I love. Nothing like some inspiration from Teddy!

The only weird thing, that I didn't notice at first, was that my box was missing a product. Don't judge me but I only noticed right now... I thought there was tons of stuff but apparently I'm missing some Popcorners. I've thought about trying that product since I LOVE popchips so maybe I'll e-mail Kona Kase about it...

My box was sent for review though so I got a bit of a variant than other boxes I saw, I didn't get some bars other people got but got more Gu and Luna products. It's all good for me though- the bag of Popcorners would be priced around $1 if it actually is missing.


Luna Blueberry Bliss Bars: Yes! I love Luna bars and have no idea why I don't buy them. It was cute, my bf said he wishes Luna bars were for men too since they actually taste good. Well, I've never tried this flavor and ooeee they are delish! I had one for breakfast the other day and I felt re-fueled and I got to eat something delicious. Price: $2.26


GU Recovery Brew in Chocolate Smooth: Umm, why is this the worst pic ever? Anyway, this is totally up my bf's alley. I actually took ALL my Kona Kase stuff with me to NY except for this. I knew he'd like it more. It gives you maximum recovery from workouts by using amino acids, vitamins, and electrolytes.
Price: $3.33


GU Brew- Electrolyte Drink Tablet in Lemon Lime: I should have said it before but these low cal GU products are NATURALLY SWEETENED. That is SOOO important to me. I was drinking an energy boost thing from another box and then realized it was sweetened with aspartame... aka gives me major headaches. I am ALL for low cal but not when it makes me sick! This brew combines sodium and potassium to accelerate the hydration process. I could definitely use that! Price: $0.54


GU Chomps- in Lemon & Strawberry: These buggers were definitely the products I was most excited about. 1-They give you two options, caffeine or no caffeine. 2- They are tasty little bites. 3-They give you energy! I am actually having my first one before my run today! I did mention that I crammed ALL my Kona Kase stuff into my bags right? That's how much I wanted to try them! Price: $6.62


GU Energy Gels-Roctane ultra endurance and Vanilla Bean: Everyone knows about GU gels right? I grew up with always having these around- my parents are bikers etc. Anyway, I've never really had them myself and now I do! Score. I'm more excited for the chomps but these would come in handy on the bike rides CJ and I are promising we will do when I get home! Price: $5


Verdict: This box is a bit hard to price but this $15 box is around $18.75 which is over the price and that is WITH free shipping! I loved my box so much that I signed up on their site- I've become a subscriber-score! I think I've said multiple times that I got really out of shape in the past year so that's what I'm working on really hard right now and I think this box is what I need. Energy and fuel for getting my butt into gear! Sign up yourself with my link at Kona Kase and get your first box 1/2 off!!
