The good folks at Balance have graciously provided a box of 3 assorted flavors of the Balance Bar "Bare" for me to try and let you all know what I think about them. I really believe these are my "most-favorite" Balance Bars to date. And I rank the three flavors as #1 - Sweet & Salty Chocolate Almond, #2 - Sweet & Salty Peanut Butter, and #3 - Blueberry acai. But that is just a matter of personal preference. They are all REALLY GOOD!
Sweet, meet Salty. Salty, meet Sweet. Rich chocolatey flavor spends quality time with real almonds and whole grain oats. Our Sweet & Salty Chocolate Almond Balance Bar is a delicious combination that delivers all the energy you need.
Nutrition at a Glance:
- 15g Protein
- 200 Calories
- 6g Whole Grain
- 5g Fiber
- Excellent Source of Antioxidants
- 19 Vitamins & Minerals
Real roasted peanuts and creamy peanut butter flavor combine with the whole grain goodness of rolled oats to provide a perfectly balanced sweet and salty Balance Bar snack, with energy to spare.
Whole grain nutrition and hearty rolled oats meet a burst of blueberry and acai fruit flavor, offering lasting energy for any activity – with a sweet finish that satisfies your taste buds.
The nutrition of each of these is basically the same. Lots of protein, fiber, antioxidants, and vitamins and minerals. Good stuff for you! Get the real low-down on nutrition on these bars at http://balance.com.
I shared some of my treasure trove of "Bare Bars" with my son and his wife. They live and eat very healthy and exercise to stay fit. These are right up their alley! You should have seen the grins on their faces when I said, "Have some!"
I love packing these in my desk drawer at work for when I have a low moment or simply work past lunch. Keeps me feeling like I'm not so hungry and it is also a "feel-good-to-eat-this" food for me.

ReplyDeleteThank you Cristi - I thoroughly enjoy doing the book reviews. I then donate almost all of the books to Alamance Christian School to help build the library with fresh books. Balance Bar has been very gracious to let this
DeleteG'mama host giveaways for them. I've enjoyed their products, too.
I think you are the most tech savvy Grandma I know of! :o)

DeleteI love that you care about the people that enter enough, that if they forget to add their email or something... you contact them! (yes, that's personal experience that's talking)... Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI have had to chose alternate winners sometimes because I simply could not find a contact :( - but yes, kindness is simply a little thing and a personal thing - an oldie-goldie song (love song) says it http://youtu.be/dkgDTs0cRXI "Little Things Mean a Lot"

Ruby - I welcome you and can't wait to see you back here soon
DeleteThank you so much for your blog and giveaway! I am excited each time I see your daily emails!
ReplyDeleteEliz - You have made my day. To think that someone anticipates and is happy with my blog emails! Wonderful!
DeleteVera - you are a cool blogger...I love to read the bible verses and your encouraging words in your blog...it's not just about giveaways!
ReplyDeleteWhen I began blogging, it was all about sharing and caring and I haven't lost that in my heart. The product and book reviews also fit in with that. I get to try a new product and then someone gets an opportunity to receive a blessing by wining it, too. The books are a blessing to me and then the ones that I am given an opportunity to host as a giveaway are a blessing to the recipient. Almost all of the books I read and review are given to the Alamance Christian School library. Another blessing.
DeleteI enjoy reading your blog posts.
