PROBAR review and giveaway!

Bars, bars, bars! Let's give it up for bars!

 I'm talking about energy bars, here . . . 

 And right now I'm enjoying PROBAR protein and meal replacement bars. A big reason for my enjoyment is this:


Dairy free. Certified organic. Non-GMO Project verified. Made in the good ol' US of A.

 All good stuff.

 Another big reason is the taste. The PROBAR bars are really tasty. And taste matters, especially when you are on the go and rely on energy bars as much as I do (yes, I always carry bars with me wherever I go -- for me and for the kids).

 I was given the opportunity to try out an assortment of PROBAR Core (protein bars) and PROBAR Meal (the whole food meal replacement bars). Both are good but PROBAR Meal is my favorite.



Oatmeal Raisin, Chocolate Coconut, Superberry Slam, Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip . . . all good. And you know what? Pretty good ingredients. If I had to pick a favorite, I'd go with oatmeal raisin, which is a bit funny because I'm not much of a raisin girl. And yet, for real, the PROBAR Meal Oatmeal Raisin is delicious. Simply delicious.

 OK, so I like the bars. And I like the fact that I get to share them with you.

 How? Discount and giveaway, my friends. This just happens to be your lucky day . . . check it out:

    The core bars would be great to take with me on long bike rides! I did 50 miles last Saturday, and the bars I took were just decent but not great

    I mostly eat bars as snacks, so the Core bar would be perfect. Thank you for hosting this giveaway.

    I think I'd like the core bars - I have never really enjoyed protein bars because they just didn't taste too 'fancy' for me; so this would be an interesting new feat for me - maybe I'd like these!!
