#NewHopeBloggerBox Roundup

Disclosure: I received samples in exchange for this review. All opinions are my own.

This quarter’s New Hope Blogger Box introduced me to a lot of new products, many of which I had never heard of before. Here is a list of the items I received, along with my thoughts on some of the products I have been able to try so far:

• Bou Brands Miso Broth Cubes: These broth cubes are so convenient to have on hand. I like that they do not contain any MSG.
• FreshCap Mushrooms Ltd. THRIVE 6 Blend: This mushroom extract blend is supposed to help build immunity and sharpen mental capacity.
• Health Thru Nutrition CelluRex
• Hudson River Foods Cherry Brook Kitchen Tempt Hemp Brownie Mix
• Lacorium Heatlh Natralia Heel Balm For Rough, Dry Feet: My heels were in desperate need of this balm. I am happy to report that this product works. It moisturized my feet and made them noticeably softer.
• LaCroix Beverages Key Lime Sparkling Water: LaCroix sparkling water has become a staple in our house. I do not think we have tried a flavor we do not like, and the Key Lime flavor is no exception!
• Life’s Grape Vine-Dried Grapes: My husband and kids liked these (I am personally not a raisin fan).
• Manuka Health Manuka Honey: This honey is supposed to have a lot of health benefits, and can be consumed or used for skin treatments.
• Miracle Tree Moringa Infusion Cherry Chamomile Tea: This is tea with added health benefits.
• Natural Factors Fermented Organic Protein & Greens: This product contains a wide variety of vegetables and can be mixed into a protein drink.
• Nutrawise Health and Beauty Youtheory Collagen Powder Vanilla: This collagen powder can be mixed with water, coffee or fruit juice and is supposed to counteract the effects of aging.
• NutriBiotic Essential Electrolytes
• Outstanding Foods: PigOut Pigless Bacon Chips: These “chips” are actually made out of mushrooms, which seems to be a big trend.
• Seipel Group UROX Bladder Control: I don’t need this yet, but was able to give it away to someone who does.
• Smart Baking Company Gluten Free Smart Cakes (Cinnamon): I was able to try these cakes at Expo West last month. I would recommend them if you are eating gluten-free but you miss baked goods. These cakes actually remind me more of muffins.
• Tom’s of Maine Activated Charcoal Toothpaste: I have to admit, using the charcoal black toothpaste was a little disconcerting at first. However, the flavor is fine and my teeth do feel noticeably cleaner due to the texture of the toothpaste.
• UbU Health Focus Sparkling Beverage (Yuzu & Lotus Flower): This is a refreshing drink with just a hint of citrus and sweetness.
