I LOVE summertime. I love having Angeline out of school, traveling to our heart's content (well, as much as our savings account will allow), the gorgeous summer clothes, new sunglasses, sipping iced tea and walking along sandy beaches with the sun shining on our faces. As a kid, summer meant freedom and it's pretty much the same thing now that I am an adult with my own teenager!
Like many, I am trying to slim down in time for my summer travels because I want to look and feel great, no matter what I am wearing - even if it’s a new itsy bitsy bikini! I just started Slimfast® 14 Days to Slim to help me along the way, and just three days in, I am already starting to see a difference!
We have so much planned for this summer, between a trip to Napa Valley with my girlfriends to an eight day cruise with Angeline - plus a trip to North Carolina and many sunny days on the beach in between! Summertime for us means lots of time outdoors, basking in the sun and wearing as little clothing possible to stay cool. Obviously, I need to look great when I spend most of the days in a bathing suit!
It’s amazing how quickly your body reacts when you restrict your calories and fatty food intake. My belly is already less bloated (yay for a flatter stomach!) after just three days. I am super excited to see the difference after the two weeks are up!
Slimfast® 14 Days to Slim makes it easier to lose weight and get in shape, with the ability to lose up to lose 6 pounds in the first 2 weeks! Unlike some of the complicated diets I’ve done in the past, this isn’t really a diet and there is nothing complicated about it!
It’s simple really: replace two meals a day with a Slimfast® protein bar or shake and make sure that your third meal is 500 calories. You can also enjoy three 100 calorie snacks a day. Your total daily caloric intake should be 1200. That’s it!
One of the things I love about Slimfast® 14 Days to Slim is that you can still eat snacks. If you know me, then you know that I love my snacks with the heat of a thousand blazing suns! I am a total grazer, and Slimfast allows me to still enjoy my snacks throughout the day. I ate healthy snacks like fat-free Greek yogurt and fresh peaches, bananas and strawberries.
Of course, I drank lots of water and did about 30 minutes of cardio each day. Exercise is a really important part of getting in shape - even if you aren’t trying to lose weight, you should get exercise every day, and that is something that I am trying to improve.
The new Have Your Cake protein bars are really good, and while they don’t taste exactly like cake (let’s be realistic here, nothing tastes exactly like cake except for CAKE!), they are sweet and yummy - they remind me of cake batter ice cream!
The new Slimfast® Have Your Cake…™ Meal Bar has just 180 calories and is made of delicious vanilla cake and frosting, combined with fun sprinkles. Isn’t it cute? It is a meal replacement bar and I can tell you firsthand, it really does fill you up! They are so easy to throw in your purse so that you always have a healthy, low-calorie meal with you when you’re on the go so it’s easier to resist temptation when you’re hungry. Why bother with fast food or a chocolate bar when you have a great-tasting meal replacement bar in your purse that tastes like cake?
The Slimfast® Have Your Cake meal bars come in 5 count boxes and you can find them at Target and other mass market retailers and drugstores across the country. They sell for about $5.49. If you think about it, $5.49 for five meals is a great deal, especially when it comes to low calorie food!
I am so excited to kick off our summer travels and to look back on all of our photos and feel great about how I look. Who knows, I might even share some of my photos - IN MY BIKINI!! - here on the blog!

Slim Fast sure has come a long way. I remember when they first came out, they only had chocolate or vanilla powder and it wasn't so great.
Terry
I used to drink SlimFast for my lunch. It tasted sooooo good. I had to stop when I got candida. Not from the Slimfast, but from other things in life.
Amy Desrosiers
I love that Slim Fast has bars now. I was never a fun of the shakes because I need texture! These look good.
Kay Adeola
The slim fast shakes i used to love and the bars i was not that keen on.I have not had Slim fast in a while.
Lindsey Paris
I started Isagenix last month and dropped 4.5 pounds. 5 more to go and I'll be ready for my August trip!
Lolli
I LOVE SlimFast shakes and often have them for breakfast. Now the rest of the day...could use a lot of improvement!
Debbie Denny
I think slimfast is great anytime. Have fun this summer.
Melanie S.
That sounds like a delicious flavor, and I love that it's got a good amount of fiber in it. I do wish they'd do away with artificial ingredients though.
Marina
As long as I can have my snacks I'm happy. Looking good, Jenn!
Jenn
We mostly have to mentally prepare for summer. LOL It's soooo hot! I love birthday cake flavor and would probably adore those bars.
Tracey
These bars look so delicious! I am heading to the store tonight to find them!
Christie
Wow, those Slim Fast bars look so much tastier than back in the day! Good luck with your summer slim goals!
Emily
Oh my, birthday cake protein bars? That has to be an oxymoron or something? Looks yummy.
Jeanine
Wow! How exciting, Slim Fast is coming up with some amazing things. I need to find these and give them a try, I can't do the drinks :/
Jenni E. {Sweet Pennies from Heaven}
Those Cake bars look INSANELY good. I love bars like this for quick breakfasts or lunch on the go!
Lucero De La Tierra
First of all you don't look like you need SlimFast. That being said, I'm glad it worked for you the way you wanted it to. 🙂

The Slim Fast bars are pretty good. I have used them in the past and I liked them.
Megan @ C'mon Get Crafty
The thing I like best about Slim fast is how it is user-friendly. My whole healthy snacking mantra goes right out the window when I realize I forgot to cut up the melon or portion pack the food - and that bag of chips is riiiigghhht there. Those meal replacement bars are so easy and quick!

I missed the getting ready for summer boat this year! I need to get my Slim Fast on in a hurry!
April Decheine
I love your ideas. I was in a bikini at our pool and was like, oh man my body is not quite ready to be seen in a bikini. Good snacking on good nutritional products is key. I have used Slim Fast too for years.
Veronica
Looks like you are all set for summer. I have heard great things about slim fast
Cassie @ Southeast by Midwest
I've wanted to try that Philosophy Birthday Girl Set. Those Slimfast bars look amazing!
Tonia
Nice. I wonder if I would like any of the Slimfast products. I've never tried any, but my roommate used to use them.
Chrysa
I have never been a fan of nutrition bars, but those cake bars look really good! I have been trying to exercise more and eat better now that summer is starting. I hope it helps!
Jenn
Let me know if you try them, they are pretty tasty! I have only tried the Have Your Cake kind since they changed their formula a while ago. I used to love all of their chocolaty versions.
Toni
I am not a big fan of the bars, but I love the shakes. My favorite is the chocolate!
Jenn
I love the shakes too, they don't taste diet-ish at all (at least not to me!).
Jennifer B
Okay seriously, I may have to do this! It's summer already here in Florida (when isn't it?) and I have a pool party to attend in 2 weeks!!!

Slim Fast has really changed. I remember they used to be all about the shakes. Good to see they are offering other alternatives.
