July Kona Kase Review

Disclaimer: I was sent a Kona Kase free of charge in exchange for a review.  I wans't required to give a positive review and all opinions are my own.

I really love getting mail.  Cards, packages, you name it.  I have to say though that surprises are the best kind of mail.  I knew my Kona Kase was coming but I had no idea what would be in it.  It was really fun getting to see what snacks I got to try out.


I was really excited about some of the products and slightly disappointed in some of them.  You get a card in the box of the potential snacks you could have and some of them sounded SO good.  I was a little sad when I saw that I had two samples of Perky Jerky instead of two different products.  I'm not a big fan of jerky in general, and while I have yet to try it, I'm not in any hurry to!



So far I've only eaten two of the products.  I ate the coconut Health Warrior bar before a run.  At first I thought the texture was a little odd, but after a few bites I was hooked.  It settled well and was a perfect quick snack to tide me over until I could eat after my run.  I'll have to keep my eye out for them in stores!  The other day I took the Enjoy Life's Seed & Fruit mix to work.  I really liked it, but I probably won't go out of my way to buy it.  I like things that are really easy to eat and it wasn't as simple since there were so many small pieces.

I have one bar left and two packages of running fuel that I'm saving for my upcoming long runs.  One is a gel (I've only had a gel once, and while I ended up PRing in that race, I really wasn't a fan.  I'm a big texture person.) and another is a package of "chews" that I'm assuming will be similar to my beloved Clif Shot Bloks.

The card in the box has a place so that you can "grade" each of the products.  I thought that was a fun feature and will be a helpful reminder of what you tried.  It can also give you some ideas of other things to try and tells you the website where you can order each product.  Some of them even give you coupon codes.



I enjoyed getting to try out a Kona Kase, but I don't think I'll be a regular subscriber.  I wouldn't call myself a picky eater, but I do have some go to snacks that have worked well for me in the past.  If it ain't broke don't fix it, ya know?



A big thanks to Kona Kase for letting me give it a try!

  1. I know a certain niece and nephew who would be more than happy to take that jerky off of your hands ;)

    1. I think it has caffeine or some other energy boosting ingredient that might not be good for them. The whole perky thing. :)

    2. That doesn't mean they wouldn't enjoy them. In the words of one of my favorite short stories, "[The dog] loves what makes [her] sick."
