I am a typical college girl, I have an amazing love for ORANGE, COWBOYS and my car Cuppie. I do reviews on anything from children, pets, home items all the way to food and make up.
As most of you know Ashley and I were both sent Visalus to try out for a week and see how we liked it and if we thought it worked. You can read Ashley's review here, and let me tell you, she LOVES it. It has helped her and she is dropping weight! Body by Vi Part 1
Since Ashley covered how it works, and all the not so fun stuff to read, I will just tell you my view on the product.
Body by Vi taste AMAZING, and its cost isnt much more then some other shakes you can buy at the store, plus with them, you have a chance to get yours for FREE! I personally have a bad sweet tooth sometimes and thats what makes my weight not so awesome at times. For me this shake is great, I can make it taste like a smoothie or I can make it make it sweet to help my cravings. Body by Vi has a great base of ideas for you to make for your shake, and there are tons of recipes that the distributors can give you that they use.
Whats the cost? Well, its about $50 a month, for one shake a day, so its about $1.70 a shake. Which when you think about it could be less then what the meal would cost you are replacing. Personally, having a shake that gives me a better balance, helps curb hunger and saves me money is awesome! I have lost about 5 pounds over my 2 weeks that I tried the shakes. While I do watch my calories and eat all day, the shake kept me from cheating on my diet and kept me satisfied.
Do I recommend this product? Sure do! Cole even wants to try it, so i think we will be saving up to buy some soon! Do you want to try and win yourself a FREE sample?

Sheri sent me the Coffee Cake mix, the mix is 6 ingredients packed into 3 packages. To the mix, I was told to add 1 cup butter, 1 cup sour cream, 2 tablespoons vanilla and 2 eggs. I will say, I altered the butter slightly, seeing as I am trying to watch my fat intake, I cut it down to 1/2 cup butter and a 1/2 cup applesauce.
I LOVE how they label everything so there is no mix up and no mistakes, not to mention I feel like someones mom made this for me!
The instructions were great! Super easy and I am sure anyone can make this cake. You start by creaming your butter and sugar mix, then you add the eggs, vanilla and sour cream, mix a little then add bag two. Then you melt some butter and add it to bag 3 to make the crumb. When your all done, about 5 minutes later, you have this.
This batter was delicious, I had to taste it before it went for its trip to the 350 degree oven for about 35 minutes. Let me just say my whole house smelled AMAZING! It smelled all day and even part of the next morning, i love when I bake and I love how simple it was to bake this! They say that their mix prepared their way with normal ingredients is about 320 calories per serving. If you substitute like I did for the butter and then do light sour cream like I did, you have a great 250 calorie snack!
Look at this cake! Isnt it the perfect golden brown? With the right amount of crumb...oh let me tell you how amazingly moist it was and how not over powering it was with my tea for snack that day!
That had to be my favorite after class snack and the breakfast for the next few mornings in awhile. I mean you cant really beat the simplicity of it or the fact it is all natural and for about $1 a serving after buying the mix and the other items needed to make it, its not crazy expensive like I have seen some other companies prices be. This mix is only $7.75 and makes 16 servings of oh so yummy goodness.
