Bulu Box Review #LoveBulu

This past month, I had the opportunity to review Bulu Box.   "BULU BOX IS A MONTHLY BOX OF HEALTHY DISCOVERIES THAT WILL UPGRADE YOUR HEALTH" (Bulu Box Website). Subscribers receive a new custom box each month filled with health, weight loss and nutrition samples from top brands.  Each box comes with 4-5 samples- with the sample supplying enough of the product for the subscriber to decide if the product is a right fit for them.



The box I received, had 10 items for me to sample:
    • Urgent RX Upset Stomach - fast tummy relief
    • Martha Stewart Vegetarian Multi-Vitamin Gummies
    • Movit Energy Gummies
    • Nuvia Café - Nutrient rich instant coffee
    • Ovega-3 - Eco-Friendly Omega-3 chewable
    • BPI Sports FunnBar - Protein Chews
    • Naked Wines Vouched: $100 off gift card
    • Mushroom Matrix Nrg Matrix Energy
    • Hemp Foods- Hemp Pro 70 Chocolate Protein Supplement
    • MealEnders Signaling Lozenge

The first sample I tried from my Bulu Box was the Nuvia Café instant coffee.  Most instant coffees are crystalized- this one is a smooth powder; pouring the packet into my coffee cup had me filled with excitement for this cup of coffee.  Finishing my cup left me sad and wishing I had more.  By far, the best instant coffee I have ever had.  One awesome feature, and a reason I #LoveBulu, is Bulu Box has all the products they send samples of available for purchase on their website as well.  There are two kinds of Nuvia Café instant coffee you can purchase.  I sampled the regular instant, but there is also a "Trim Gourmet Skinny Coffee". 



The next two items I tried from my box were the Movit Energy Gummies and the Nrg Matrix Energy  I enjoyed both of these products.  I used both on separate occasions before running.  The Nrg Matrix Energy I used first.  It was a small pouch to add to water.  I drank about 30 minutes prior to going on a run.  I actually had one of the best training runs I have had this month after drinking the Nrg Matrix Energy.  I had the same results with the Movit Energy Gummies.  I ate those 40 minutes prior to a training running and again had one of my better training runs this month.  Both items had similar tastes to me- as someone who has tried many sports drinks / chews I found them to be in the same taste range as most others.  The drink was tangy and the gummies had a dulled down fruit taste.  I found both to be effective energy boosters and my workouts after use made me feel that these products did exactly what they are supposed to do- energize.   One thing I loved about the Movit Energy Gummies, is that they have one of my favorite Bible passages on their labels (in picture below).


Next I tried the MealEnders Signaling Lozenges. These were interesting.  I was given 8 lozenges to try (2 of each flavor).  The flavors they come in are: Citrus, Cinnamon, Chocolate Mint, and Mocha.  I enjoyed the flavor of the Chocolate Mint.  Each lozenge has a soft outer coating of the flavor which leads to a hard candy.  I did not enjoy the cinnamon- I spit it out after a few seconds.  The other two flavors I could give or take.  The lozenges leaves my tongue feeling tingly and as though every taste bud had been activated.  The also did end my hunger.  I would try these again, but I'm not sure I would purchase them, id rather drink a glass of water or hot tea to fill me up. I could write a review for every product, but those were the ones that I enjoyed the most.

The Martha Stewart Vitamins I was very excited about.  I had just run out of prenatal vitamins, and these have folic acid and are vegetarian.  Plus they are gummies, just like the prenatal I take.  I thought these would be a great fill in until I could get to the store and buy a replacement.  However, upon opening the vitamins I was struck with a rancid smell.  I decided to ignore the scent and try a gummy vitamin- instant regret.  I spit it out immediately. I do not recommend theses vitamins. 


Overall, I really enjoyed the Bulu Box I was sent to try.  Id go as far as saying I #LoveBulu :)
My favorite part of Bulu Box (besides being exposed to awesome new products that I may not have tried or even found on my own) is the Box itself! Filled with inspirational and motivation quotes and sayings! The box made me want to work towards my goals!


I definitely look forward to subscribing to Bulu Box in the future and having them make a customized box designed towards my fitness/health goals with products that would be best for me to sample, and hopefully continue to order.  If you would like to subscribe too, which I highly recommend, use my promo code: SWEATPINK for 50% off a 3-month subscription!!
