A few days ago I got my first ever VoxBox from Influenster. I was really excited because not only I was going to try new products, but also because the theme of my box is very relevant to my weight loss goals.
Among the products included in this box was one of these ZonePerfect® Greek Yogurt Bars (in the Yogurt Vanilla Berry flavor, one of three flavors). It was a full-size bar in it's original packaging just like displayed under this text.
Now, let's get to the review. At first I was a bit skeptical because I'm one of the pickiest eaters of all time. I don't like berries and I don't particularly like yogurt. However, I decided that I needed to try them in order to pass a legit judgement on them. I do not regret doing so because these were pretty good.
They have a very strong berry flavor which was overwhelming at first but it also combines really well with the greek yogurt. The texture is not too solid, but not soft either, which I enjoyed. The appearance of the bar itself isn't the most attractive, but as long as the flavors are there, I can look past that.
Compared to the chocolate or peanut butter protein bars I like to eat, these aren't exactly the tastiest, but they are a great option if you're a fan of combining yogurt and berries. In terms of nutrition, I was pretty good. Nothing impressive, but it wasn't bad.

I think the calories are a bit much compared to other bars, as well as the sugar. I wish it had more fiber, too. However, this snack overall was satisfying enough to hold me for a couple of hours in between my meals, which is all I ask for in a protein or fiber bar.
Overall, it's a much better option that eating a muffin or just a regular candy bar as a snack. These are easy to eat on the go and make you feel like you've made a smart decision by eating them. I haven't seen these at my local grocery store, but if you do I suggest you pick them up and give them a try because I do not regret trying them. Can't wait to try the chocolate one!
I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.
