FOOD: Quaker Real Medleys and EBoost Natural Energy











When I got back to the dorms for Holiday break, there was a lovely package from Influenster (the Holiday Vox Box) waiting for me. Not only did it have some beauty stuff, but it had food! Which was awesome, because I didn't have to leave my room for dinner that night. Oh, us lazy college children. 

I particularly liked the Quaker Real Medleys Cherry Pistachio Oatmeal. It was super easy to make, even in the dorms. I just heated up water in my electric kettle and poured it in, waited, then stirred. Easy-peasy. It was good, too and kept me full for a while. The thing is, it was a bit too sweet; it has a crap ton of sugar. While it may be a nice treat and a good snack once in a while, for everyday, it's not the healthiest thing. I'll be sticking to regular Quaker oatmeal, which I have always adored. 

I also tried the EBoost Natural Energy drink mix in Acai Pomegranate. This was okay. It tasted very mineral-y, not the best most potent flavor. I also didn't notice any particular energy boost. My other complaint is that it contains Stevia as its sweetener, which could be carcinogenic. Everything causes cancer these days. :( It also didn't fizz very much, but I don't really care about that. But yeah, aside from Stevia, the ingredients list looks pretty good and super-foody.

But yeah, usual disclaimer stuff; getting things for free doesn't affect my opinion whatsoever.
