My Evive Experience
Off the top these are simple, fast and delicious!
Let me start by saying I was given a free box in exchange for my opinion or review. I have not been paid by Evive or it’s promotional team. I think they offered me a code word to promote if anyone wanted to use it for a discount but I don’t go too hard with stuff like that because I don’t want to tell anyone what to do with their money.
Smoothies made easy.
Evive offers a variety of flavours, ingredients and ‘styles’ of pre-made, frozen goods. Spoiler alert: it’s not all smoothie-cubes. In my box I received some lunch options, too! I received the B12 Smoothies Kit and Bam Chili, Golden Curry, Mac Squash and Tom Thai lunch wheels plus one Evive Mason jar for mixing.
My thoughts.
A great idea! Every time I feel like having a smoothie (vegan) my kids, 4 and 6, want one, too (non-vegan). My ‘quick meal for me’ turns into a 10-15 minute process of making theirs, finding their respective cups (one has to be ‘baby’ kind the other ‘action figure’ style - it’s a whole thing), then I have to clean the blender fully before attempting to make mine. In the time that takes, usually one has spilled theirs and/or is asking for more. There are times when I don’t get to make the smoothie I started out wanting in the first place!
Evive smoothies come in pre-mixed, frozen cubes. The cubes are neatly separated in cube like ‘wheels’ which are recyclable. You want a smoothie? Pop them into a jar, add water, juice or whatever type of milk or other ingredients you want for mixing) allow time to melt a bit and then SHAKE. Because I have a blender handy and sometimes have difficulty using my hands (arthritis), I opt for the blender… then, pour! One smoothie wheel makes enough for both kids and then I get to keep another for myself. All products are vegan (correct me if I’m wrong) which makes quick smoothies or meals a very easy choice.
Have you tried Evive?
When I started posting about my Evive experience, I got some feedback from friends who had tried them and were just as happy as me and my family were. One friend specifically said,
“We’ve been doing this as breakfast for months. We order 60 at a time. I’m up at 4AM so I put it in my bag and drink it on my way to work. Super convenient and gives me enough to get through til lunch.”
If you’ve tried them, let me know what you think. The ads are all over my social media timelines but that’s probably because I’ve searched them/have been posting about them. I have spotted them in the wild at my local grocery store so it’s nice to know this Canadian made, Canadian based business appears to be doing well.
Now that I’ve formed my opinion, I would be interested in trying more of the flavours I enjoy for the stress-free smoothie experience alone.
