Bar Review: My Fave Meals & Snacks On The Go

Published by Mary at 3:08 PM

For me, the key to losing and maintain weight is successful snacking. Allowing myself little indulgences along the way helps me to feel satisfied and focused on the ultimate goal of being fit. Snack bars are a great way to have a treat that tastes great AND have good nutrition. I try to stick with bars that have as many organic and raw ingredients as possible. Calorie counters beware! Just because these are healthy, doesn't mean you can chomp away on these like carrots. Some of them pack a considerable punch in the calories dept. On my daily budget, for example the Probar has enough calories for an entire meal. Here's a quick list of some of my favorites.







Ingredients: Organic Brown Rice Syrup, Organic Dry Roasted Peanuts, Organic Raisins, Dry Roasted Almonds,
Soy Rice Crisps (Soy Protein Isolate, Organic Rice Flour, Calcium Carbonate), Organic Chocolate Chips (Organic Evaporated Cane Juice, Organic Unsweetened Chocolate, Organic Cocoa Butter, Soy Lecithin, Natural Flavors), Organic Pretzels (Organic Wheat Flour, Salt, Organic Canola Oil, Organic Malt), Organic Peanut Butter, Organic Dry Roasted Soybeans, Dry Roasted Pumpkin Seeds, Sunflower Seeds, Sunflower Oil, Roasted Sunflower Kernals, Organic Oat Syrup, Vegetable Glycerin, Organic Sunflower Oil, Sea Salt, Organic Gum Arabic, Natural Vitamin E (antioxidant).
