Centrum Flavor Burst Review

Another review for the wonderful Smiley360 website, this time for Centrum Flavor Burst vitamins. As usual, although I was provided this product for free, this is my own opinion.



I'm definitely not a vitamin person. I have to take quite a bit of pills for medical reasons, and I just couldn't stand taking more. I also have a problem where pills sometimes get stuck in my throat and I have a hard time with that. However, I also want to keep healthy and I know one of the best ways to get my daily intake is to take a multi-vitamin. So when I heard about Centrum Flavor Burst chews, I was pretty excited to try it.

The flavor is actually really good. I have to say I was expecting it to be chalky and not that great, kind of like how chewable vitamins were when I was a kid. Not these. They reminded me of a grape gumball and didn't have any chalky texture or bad aftertaste, which was great.

A serving size is 4 chews (they are not sugar free), and here is a nutritional breakdown:



 Calories: 25
Total Carbs: 6g
Vitamin A- 2,000 IU
Vitamin C- 60mg
Vitamin D- 800 IU
Vitamin E- 40 IU
Vitamin B6 : 2 mg
Folic Acid- 400 mcg
Vitamin B-12: 10 mcg
Biotin: 150mcg
Pantothenic Acid: 10 mg
Iodine - 80 mcg
Zinc- 5 mg

There is a downside to these however.  As I mentioned, 4 of these equal one serving. I've checked prices in various areas and found them to be anywhere from $9.00 to $10. Here, it's about $9.50. That's about 10 cents a chew, so 40 cents for a serving. Compare that to most Centrum brand vitamins which are about 11 cents a pill, and you only take one of those. So if you are trying to be more cost efficient, you are better getting a standard multivitamin. They do contain 4 grams of sugar which aren't the best if you are on a low carb or sugar diet.  Also, these contain soy, so avoid these if you have a soy allergy.

A big thing that bothered me, however, is that the Centrum Adults Under 50 has substantially more nutrients in it. Here's a little side by side comparison:


Final verdict: Centrum Flavor Burst are great if you have problems with swallowing pills or if just having a chewable one appeals to you. But you will be paying for the convenience, and you won't be getting as much as a standard multivitamin. However, they do taste great, so it's up to you to see what fits you better. If you do decide to try them, grab this $2.00 off coupon.

As always, feel free to leave a comment about this review and let me know if you've tried it and what your experience is!

SweeTARTS Soft & Chewy Ropes

Am in love with the SweetTARTS Soft & Chewy Ropes. I'm a sucker for Twizzlers, so when Smiley360 gave me the opportunity to tries these, I hopped on board and received the Cherry Punch flavor. They taste fantastic.  The outside tastes like a normal cherry flavored rope candy, but the inside is filled with a tangy Cherry Punch filling. And unlike other rope candies, they are not tough or waxy, just a chewy, smooth texture with a nice kick. They come in a pack of 8, and are only 45 calories per rope to boot. Definitely worth getting again! Please note that while I received this product for free from Smiley360, the opinions are my own.

Smiley360 Review: Kikkoman Juicy Bird Project

So recently, I was chosen for Smiley360's " Kikkoman Juicy Bird Project ". In this we were to brine a chicken or turkey using Kikkoman Soy Sauce. Although I received these items to review for free, this is entirely my own opinion. I also apologize ahead of time for my usually horrible pictures as my cell phone has trouble in low light. I think it's time to start using a proper camera! "Experience the taste of umami in your meals with Kikkoman Soy Sauce . Try cooking with this dynamic sauce in traditional Asian dishes, mainstream American foods, classic Mediterranean dishes, Caribbean cuisine, or even to brine poultry." I've never brined poultry before, so I was excited to participate. I received not only 2 coupons for a free bottle of Kikkoman Soy Sauce, but a 5 gallon brining bucket as well. First, here's the recipe that was recommended: Kikkoman Chicken Brine Recipe Ingredients 2 cups Kikkoman Soy Sauce 2 Gallons water 1...

Pizza Dip

I love dip. Probably a lot more than I should. I stumbled upon a few recipes talking about pizza dip, and thought it was a fantastic idea. However, I found a lot of them lacked exactly the spice that I wanted, so my friend and I came up with our own version. I love this recipe because it doesn't take a lot of time to prepare, and takes even less time to cook. Which is a plus in my book. You can serve it with chips, crackers, or my favorite: sliced french bread. Pizza Dip Ingredients 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened 1 cup pizza sauce 1/2 tsp garlic powder 1/2 tsp onion powder 1/2 tsp basil 1/2 tsp Italian spices 1/2 tsp parsley 1 tsp sugar (optional) 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese Sliced black olives Pepperoni slices    Instructions Spray a microwave safe dish with non-stick spray. In a separate bowl, soften cream cheese by microwaving it for 30-45 seconds (or leave it out to soften for a bit beforeha...
