Vegan Cuts Box Review!
I recently received a Vegan Cuts Box to review the same weekend as my birthday. I was super excited because I haven't gotten a Vegan Cuts Box in at least two years.

REVIEW: True Nutrition ModCarb™
This came in the mail the week before I left for Ohio. It arrived with a few other items that I didn't get to try before I left, but this one couldn't wait. I'd been looking at ModCarb™ for a possible pre-workout. Since True Nutrition has a custom generator that allows you to make your perfect formula, I was looking to put together a pre-workout with 10% protein and around 90% carbohydrate. I didn't just want something that would burn off fast or give me jitters (sugars). ModCarb™ is fitting my needs perfectly.
I LOVE how this works as a pre-workout. I use this in my morning coffee before work and I feel amazing until my break. No crashing and no jitters, just pure energy. It translates into my workouts too. I love how it feels when this kick ins. I don't feel shaky or jittery, just ready to do some work! It's really perfect. I've tried several pre-workouts that made me feel dizzy, jittery, or even like I was going to throw up.
The flavor on it is great and the texture is perfect. It's totally soluble and the texture adds something to my coffee that I can't explain. It definitely gives it more of that thick latte texture I was looking for. It absorbed easily in water, coffee, and in soymilk. I use a Blender Bottle™. The flavor I got was the TrueFlavor™ Vanilla Cake Batter and it is delicious. Nothing fake or synthetic tasting, it just tastes exactly like what you'd expect from a Vanilla Cake Batter. Even though it's a dessert flavor by definition, it's not cloyingly sweet; for those of you who hate overly sweet powders, you'll love this flavor option. It's sweetened with Stevia.
Nutritional Breakdown:
ModCarb™ TrueFlavor™ Vanilla Cake Batter

Garden of Life RAW Meal Energy in Yerba Mate!
I get most of my produce and fresh foods at the local supermercado, but Whole Foods is right next to my work, so I frequent it for my specialty items, my bulk foods, and occasionally a slice or two of traditional vegan pizza when I'm feeling naughty.
My few visits ago, I saw containers of a new RAW Protein Energy from Garden of Life in the decompression zone of Whole Foods. Of course my interest was sparked! It came in two flavors, Marley Coffee or Guayaki Yerba Mate. I debated momentarily, but picked up the Yerba Mate for it's lower caffeine and acidity.
