(Review) Skinnygirl Daily On-The-Go Bar



As most of you guys know, recently I have received a Valentine’s Day themed Sweetheart VoxBox from Influenster. One of the items from this VoxBox is the Skinnygirl Daily On-The-Go Bar. Before I even received my VoxBox, I already knew that I was going to get this snack bar, but I was super nervous about which flavor Influenster was going to sent me. I saw numerous instagram and facebook pictures, youtube videos, and blog posts, and I noticed that many people had received either the Banana Oatmeal Dark Chocolate flavor or the Coco-nut with Peanut Butter flavor. I personally do not want either of those flavors at all. I HATE the flavor of coconut on pretty much anything. The smell of it sometimes make me sick, and I noticed that a lot of the VoxBox receivers said that you really need to like coconut in order to enjoy the bar because it does have a very strong coconut taste. I also don’t want to get the Banana Oatmeal Dark Chocolate flavor because I noticed that in a lot of the previous snack bars that I have tried that are chocolate flavored, there are always an unpleasant artificial chocolate taste to them, almost like they used baby formula to flavor the bars. I simply do not want to get flavors that I don’t like to begin with because then I wouldn’t be able to judge this Skinnygirl Daily On-The-Go Bar in an unbiased way.


When I received my VoxBox finally and I opened it, I seriously thought Influenster has read my mind because they actually sent me the snack bar in Greek Yogurt Blueberry Crisp flavor!!! I was soooo happy when I saw it because I am a huge blueberry fanatic, and this flavor could not be any more perfect for me.


Skinnygirl Daily On-The-Go Bar is a snack made for consumers who strive to maintain a healthy lifestyle while on a busy schedule. Each bar is under 200 calories, making this a perfect guilt-free indulengence on-the-go snack. As it is said on the packaging, each snack bar is natural, kosher, and high in fiber. All the bars now even have more protein, more fiber, less sugar, and fewer carbs.

To be honest, to me, none of those fancy words really mean anything except that it is telling me that it’s healthier than other snack choices. What I consider important when it comes to a snack is ultimately their taste. I don’t care how healthy a certain snack is to me (because I am not a huge snacker to begin with, and obviously not snacking is the healthiest way to go), if it doesn’t taste good in my mouth, I will not eat it anymore. 


The moment I opened the package, I can immediately smell the yummy scent of blueberries. The look of the bar reminded me of the Nature Valley Yogurt Granola Bar, except this one is heavier, thicker, and has additional yogurt on the top of it. Not only does this bar smell good, it also tastes very delicious! The bar has a nice texture when I bit into it, both crunchy and chewy at the same time. It really does taste like I was eating a real blueberry yogurt. This bar does have a pretty strong nutty flavor and an almond-like after taste, but I didn’t mind this at all. To me, this product does live up to its description; it is truly a guilt-free indulgence bar!!



Overall, I enjoy the Skinnygirl Daily On-The-Go Bar in Greek Yogurt Blueberry Crisp a lot. However, at the price $9.99 for a box of 5 bars, this product is just a bit too pricey for me, and I don’t think I will purchase this item and actually eat it daily. I really hope that this product will go on sale someday, and by then, I will definitely re-purchase this. This is definitely a bar that is worth recommending to everyone to try; and if money is not a problem, you should definitely buy this!!
