Product Review: SkinnyMe Chocolates

Skinny and Chocolate in the same breath?
What does this mean?

While I don't necessarily encourage the pursuit of "skinniness", I do encourage chocolate consumption. SkinnyMe Chocolates are another choice of sugar free chocolates which means people who limit their sugar intake for whatever reason, can still enjoy these chocolates! 

It's Keto-friendly, suitable for diabetics or people who count calories or macros. It's sweetened with erythritol and stevia. Some of their defining characteristics are:


  • Zero Sugar
  • Gluten Free
  • No Malitol
  • Easy to digest
  • Won't spike blood sugar
  • Delicious!
SkinnyMe has a range of chocolates in individually wrapped squares and truffles. I was sent a box of assorted squares to try! 

Flavors of the Squares: Dark Chocolate Sea Salt, Bold Dark Chocolate, Dark Roasted Almond, Dark Chocolate Strawberry, and Dark Chocolate Mint. They also have Orange and Raspberry flavors but these are not included in the Assortment box. 

Dark Chocolate Sea Salt - The dark chocolate was smooth and rich, just the way I want it to be. What I really appreciated was how present the saltiness was. If you like sweet and salty, this is the chocolate for you! I think this may be my favorite!

Bold Dark Chocolate - Simple and classic, this is sure to satisfy your chocolate craving. I love to have a piece of dark chocolate every day and this would be perfect for that! It's richer than Hershey's dark chocolate but not too bitter. 

Dark Roasted Almond - This flavor was studded with tiny almond chunks! I was impressed at how much almond was on this small square. The almond added great texture and a slight saltiness! Yum!
So many almond chunks!

Dark Chocolate Strawberry - Fruity chocolates are not my *all-time* favorites but I thought this was executed very well! I smelled the sweet strawberry upon unwrapping this square. The strawberry flavor was present but not overwhelming. I thought it was just the right hint of flavor!

Dark Chocolate Mint - Dark chocolate and mint is a timeless combination that you can't really go wrong with. This square smelled like an Andes mint and tasted similar. The mint was a little more subtle than I'm used to in mint chocolate but it was still good! 

The macros for the squares are 45-50 calories 4f/6c*/1p 
*.5-1g net carb 

The truffle line up includes: Bold Dark, Velvety Mocha Dark, Raspberry, Sea Salt, Sweet Cherry, Orange, Strawberry, and coming soon - Salted Caramel and Peanut Butter! These sound and look fantastic and from my experience with the Squares, I just may have to get my hands on these!

Overall, I think these taste like a quality dark chocolate with no weird aftertaste. They are individually wrapped, convenient treats and you can sign up for a subscription so you never run out of chocolate!

    I also signed up for the $4.95 shipping for the "free trial" that ended up costing me an additional $35. The wording in their advertising is deceptive and misleading. And their customer service absolutely sucks! DO NOT GET INVOLVED WITH THIS COMPANY!! Save yourself the money and the aggravation of dealing with them!

    The chocolate tastes nasty and the free sample is a scam. They will sign you up for monthly delivery which is very difficult to cancel. Getting a refund for chocolates not received or dissatisfaction with product is nearly impossible. Buyer beware, this whole company is a scam.

    The chocolate tastes okay if you let it melt in your mouth. The biggest problem I had was that the chocolate was so poorly packaged the squares had melted and hardened back probably several times in transit. I found very few "squares" in the box. If they are going to charge that much, the packaging should be better. I have received other manufacturer's sugar free chocolate (with better taste and lower price) which are packaged in reflective bubble wrap with instructions on how to preserve the chocolate once it arrives - one says freezer for 12 hours and the other says refrigerate for 1 hour - do not open the box until this stabilization has been completed.

    The squares taste pretty good but don't waste your time with their "peanut butter cups". They cost over $30 for a bag of 22 very small cups, and though the texture is very nice, they unfortunately taste like, well, nothing! There is no real taste of either peanutbutter or chocolate. Skinny Me needs to go back to the test kitchen with those and make them taste like something. Seriously. how do you screw up chocolate and peanutbutter?? Waste of money.

Product Review: Tru Fru

Image
If you dip anything in chocolate it's instantly 10x better, right? I like freeze dried fruit and I like  love chocolate so combining the two is a recipe for success!  That's what Tru Fru has done.  The fruit is harvested fresh, freeze dried to lock in the majority of the vitamins, taste, and nutrition. The fruit is then coated in rich chocolate for a snack that is both nutritious and indulgent tasting! You don't have to choose between a nutritious snack or a tasty treat. You can have both in one. That's the concept, so let's get taste-testing! They have several different varieties including: Raspberries, Cherries, Coconut Melts, Strawberries, Bananas, and Cranberries. I first tried the Strawberry variety because chocolate covered strawberries are classic! I really liked it! The dark chocolate coating was smooth and rich while the freeze dried strawberry interior was crunchy and sweet with a slight tang. I found this to be perfectly balanced with

Must Read List

Have you been spending more time at home? Have you finished your entire list on Netflix? If the answer to these is Yes, you might be looking for some ways to fill your time. I personally love to read, especially while laying out in the sunshine. So I thought I would share some of my all time, must read books! I'm a fan of fiction so these books are all fiction! Longtime Favorite:  A Separate Peace I read this book as a freshman in high school and it never left me. The emotions are so piercing and the story so unique that I never forgot it.  Classic:  The Picture of Dorian Gray Thought provoking, emotive, and relatable to the core - this timeless classic will have you turning pages.  Female Must Read:  The Bell Jar Sylvia Plath captures a character that reached deep within my soul. It touches on mental health, feminism and more all while being extremely readable, imo.  Lived Up to the H ype:  The Fault in Our Stars John Green is a master story-teller and this book lived up to the hy
