Back in May I decided to do a 30 Day Blender Bomb challenge to see if I would really lose weight by incorporating them into my diet. In this blog post I am giving you an honest review on my Blender Bomb experience and sharing if I really think Blender Bombs are worth the money.
But First, What are Blender Bombs?
Blender Bombs are essentially smoothie boosters or enhancers that were designed to make your smoothie more of a meal replacement and keep you full longer. They’re full of superfood ingredients like almonds, flaxseeds, chia seeds, and aloe AND they come in a variety of different flavors. You can also put Blender Bombs in your smoothie, eat them alone as a snack, or even use them as a topping for yogurt or acai bowls. Since so many people drink smoothies it’s an easy way to not only lose weight but also maintain your weight while getting a good amount of nutrition.
Why I Gave Blender Bombs a Try
If I’m being totally honest I saw Naomi from Southern Charm raving about Blender Bombs on her Instagram and I had to investigate. She had lost weight and attributed a good amount of that to incorporating Blender Bombs into her diet. Hook, line, sinker, I knew I had to give them a try to see if they actually worked.
If you have followed me for a while you know that I like to try different diets and new healthy foods that will help you lose weight. I have literally tried so many cleanses and diets including the Sweetkick 30 Day Sugar Reset, Whole30, Bone Broth Diet, and Keto just to name a few.

The 30-day Blender Bomb Challenge
Oddly enough the month before I ordered my Blender Bombs, they were having a smoothie challenge where you had to drink I think 24 smoothies in a month. Even though I missed out on that challenge I decided to do my own to see if they would help me lose weight and keep me full. Originally I wanted to have a Blender Bomb smoothie everyday but of course life got in the way and there were some days I only had a Blender Bomb snack and not a smoothie. Nonetheless, I still ate one Blender Bomb a day for a month. I also felt like 30 days was enough time for me to see results and decide if they were worth it. I bought four boxes of Blender Bombs in a variety of flavors (I was most excited about the Goji, Coconut, Acai flavor because I LOVE acai bowls).

What Were the Results from my Challenge?
So in addition to having a Blender Bomb every day I did my best to follow the 80/20 rule (80% of what you eat is healthy/natural food and the other 20% is whatever you want) but of course life got in the way and it was more of like a 60/40 split where 60% was healthy and 40% was basically sweets and fried food. A for effort?
I also ate Blender Bombs in a bunch of different ways. Obviously, I put them in my smoothie but also used them in my acai bowls, as a topping for yogurt, and even by themselves so they were super versatile and easy to incorporate into my diet. I am happy to say that after 30 days of Blender Bombs I lost 6.4 lbs and I did not exercise once! If I did it was like a five-minute walk with my dog around the block. This just goes to show that weight loss is based so much more about what you put into your body rather than exercise.
Are Blender Bombs Worth the Price?
To be 100% honest when I first saw that a box of 10 Blender Bombs cost $25 I was on the fence about buying them. It seemed like a lot for just 10 little nutrition bombs. But then I broke the cost down to $2.50 per Blender Bomb, which you are using in a smoothie, as a meal replacement, so the cost really isn’t that high.
Plus a smoothie at Smoothie King is easily over $5 and is nowhere near as nutritious as one you can make at home with a Blender Bomb. It’s also crazy to think that can we spend $4 on a coffee from Starbucks and not think twice about it, yet hesitant to spend $2.50 on something that is actually healthy for you and keeps you full. In my opinion, if you are using them as a smoothie enhancer and meal replacement they are 100% worth the cost.
If you are using them in a smoothie, as a meal replacement, you can expect to be full like you would eating a regular meal. As a snack a Blender Bomb would keep me satisfied for 2-3 hours. Sometimes I would eat them with an apple or Epic Bar/Country Archer meat stick depending on how hungry I was.
Would I Purchase Blender Bombs Again
Yes, yes, and yes! I definitely plan on buying Blender Bombs again and continuing to incorporate them into my regular diet because I already eat acai bowls and drink smoothies regularly. I love how easy it is to incorporate them into your diet, like it does not feel like I am on a diet or trying to lose weight. Plus it doesn’t hurt that I am eating more wholesome and healthy foods like fruits, veggies, and other superfoods.

Any Advice on Trying Blender Bombs?
Definitely have a good blender. I currently have a personal NINJA blender (also a NINJA air fryer that is life changing) that I love but I definitely have my eye on a Vitamix. You could use a traditional blender if that is all you have but I think the easier it is for you to make smoothies, the more likely you are to incorporate Blender Bombs into your diet and make a lifestyle change.
Don’t be afraid to try new ingredients in your smoothie! Since my Blender Bomb challenge, I have put cauliflower in every single smoothie that I’ve made. You honestly cannot taste the difference, it’s crazy. At first I was very hesitant to try it so I started with a small amount but once I realized I couldn’t taste it, I never looked back! Now I throw it in there by the cup fulls!
Where can I Find Blender Bombs?
You can find the best selection of Blender Bombs, and all the other amazing products they offer, on their website. Plus, you can autoship them straight to your door every month! They also have a Store Locator option on their website that shows you different brick and mortar stores you can purchase them at. You can now find them in select Sprouts, Walmart, and Whole Foods but the selection varies AND you can purchase them from Amazon!
If you have any questions about Blender Bombs or have given them a try and are as obsessed with them as I am, share in the comments! If you haven’t tried Blender Bombs and are now interested, give them a try! Trust me, you won’t regret it!
October 2021 Update
I wanted to give you all an update on my Blender Bomb journey. I wrote this post over a year ago and I still stand by everything I said. Since first trying Blender Bombs I have completed 2 more smoothie challenges and eat Blender Bombs on an almost daily basis. They have made such a positive difference in my eating habits and I will probably continue to eat them for the rest of my life!
I have tried a few of their other products and wanted to share my thoughts on them…
Bomb Butter
I typically make my smoothies with almond milk but decided to give the Bomb Butter a try and swap it for my almond milk. If I am being honest, I was not a fan of the taste. It had a stronger nuttier flavor than my typical smoothie and it wasn’t as creamy. I haven’t purchased this again and prefer to use almond milk.
Bomb Drizzle
Bomb Drizzle is the shit and literally tastes good on everything! Sometimes if my smoothies are not very sweet I typically add honey but ever since I tried the Bomb Drizzle, I have used that as a sweetener. It comes in several flavors and is perfect to put on top of snacks, smoothie bowls, and even ice cream. 10/10 would recommend!
Bomb Bars
I snagged the Bomb Bars during a promotion where if you spent above a certain amount, you got a free box of Bomb Bars. I had been wanting to try them so I was super excited to get a variety pack to try. Unfortunately, I was not a huge fan of them. In my opinion, there is a strong flaxseed flavor that I felt was overpowering to the other flavors. Some flavors are better than others and if I was at the store and needed a quick snack I might buy one but there are other bars I like better as snack bars (specifically That’s It Bars and Larabars).
Granola So Bomb
I am a HUGE granola fanatic and was super excited to try their granola, mainly to put it on my smoothie bowls. I loved it! Their granola is grain-free and includes tons of nuts and seeds so you are getting extra protein than most granolas.
October 2023 Update
More than three years later and I am happy to share that I still eat Blender Bombs several times a week and have a monthly subscription for them. My favorite flavor is the Irish Sea Moss and my favorite way to eat them is in a smoothie bowl with berries, cauliflower, spinach, chia seeds, and almond milk with some granola on top. If you are looking to make healthier choices, I 10000% encourage you to give them a try, they just might change your life the same way they have changed mine!
