This is a detailed info card that lists the total protein, fat, sugar, and fiber content in the box. On the flip side there is some additional info on some ingredients included in the snacks. I think this is informative and useful especially if you like to keep track of what nutrients you consume.
Buff Bake Frosted Oatmeal Raisin Protein Cookie - $2.58
This was one large cookie to eat all at once. The dough isn't too sweet but the frosting makes up for it. I also like the nutty flavor. Overall, thumbs up.
Buff Bake White Chocolate Protein Peanut Butter 1.15oz pack - $1.80
I had high expectations for this little packet of peanut butter and it didn't disappoint. This is peanut butter 2.0. This is the nutty flavor you know and love but even better. I ate it with celery sticks and had the time of my life. Now I'm eyeing their other flavors like Red Velvet and Chocolate Chip.
Aloha Chocolate Protein Powder 1.3oz pouch - $3.21
This protein powder tastes like unsweetened hot cocoa. I mixed it with water but in hindsight adding milk would have been better. I'd add some form of sugar to this if I were to drink it plain again. It also has a very faint but unpleasant smell...
Squarebar Protein Bar in Cocoa Mint - $2.88
I'm so happy to report that this bar is covered in a layer of delicious chocolate. Then, when I bite into it there's a subtle but yummy chocolate mint flavor. Best of all it was filling enough that I delayed lunch for a couple hours.
Coco Libre Protein Coconut Water in Chocolate - $2.33
This tastes all right. I like the chocolatey flavor at first but the protein and coconut water aftertaste takes some getting used to. I'm also not a big fan of coconut water so that would explain part of it. Surprisingly, this contained the most protein (20g) out of all the items in the box.
Bubba's Carolina Beef Jerky in Mountain Mesquite - $6.99
This is my favorite of the box. It's mouthwateringly good. The jerky has sweet honey BBQ flavor with a slight kick. I would honestly be happy if SumoCrate had this in their box every month. The bag includes a bonus floss pick which I thought was funny and appreciated.
Ostrim Beef & Elk Stick in Sweet & Spicy - $2
Elk meat! This was great but I wasn't a big fan of the sweet and spicy combo. I enjoyed how juicy and chewy the meat was though, so now I'm shopping around for Ostrim's other flavors like Teriyaki and Beef & Ostrich!
JAVAPRO Protein Shake with Real Coffee 8oz - $3.75
Normal milk doesn't sit well with my stomach (it's a shame since I used to drink a ton of milk until several years ago) so I only tasted a little bit of the protein shake. It looks and tastes like sweet coffee. Very yummy! One other issue, though, appeared when I examined the top of the tin can, seen in the photo below.
The black dots kind of look and feel like rust. I wiped down the can's surface and poured the protein shake into a cup before drinking. Even then, it's probably not the cleanest. PSA: make sure to check all bottles and cans for yucky residue before consuming!
Verdict: I'm not a protein buff (pun not intended) but this was a great box! Despite the protein shake issue, the Bubba's Carolina beef jerky was delectable and the white chocolate protein peanut butter should be a household staple. Total value adds up to about $25.54 which is a bit more than the cost sans shipping. I think that's pretty good value for a food box! Plus, this exact box is on sale for $20.99 right now.
Like I mentioned above, SumoCrate will be transitioning from protein boxes to fitness boxes starting next month! The fitness box will include protein snacks as well as energy and pre-workout products. There are different options for men and women, and you can even preview the box before you buy.
