Since I’ve been a bad blogger lately, I think you guys deserve some free stuff so I’m having a giveaway today!!
I first tried the Simply Bar at the Blend Retreat about a month ago. I like them because they’re high in protein but low in calories and sugar which I think is pretty hard to find. I love the fact that they’re low in calories, but they’re also gluten and dairy free, vegan, and kosher.
The bars were actually made by a woman with Crohn’s disease who had a difficult time finding snacks that didn’t upset her stomach. These bars are perfect for those living a gluten free lifestyle.
Here’s a breakdown of some of their nutrition stats:
The Simply Bar: Peanut Butter Cookie
- # of ingredients: 9
- Protein: 16 grams
- Calories: 160
- Fat: 4 grams
- Sugar: 3 grams
- Fiber: 4 grams
Not too shabby right?
I also kind of like how on their website they discuss why this snack is a great choice for pregnant women. They point out that it’s fairly high in iron which is perfect for me since I know my iron levels are low.
So-on to the giveaway!! One person will win a box of mixed flavors-12 bars total!
My favorite flavor: Lemon Coconut!
There are a couple ways to enter the giveaway. To enter the giveaway:

Those sound really tasty. I love that they’re vegan and gluten free as well. Summer…..I look forward to just hanging out more often with friends enjoying the pool and also going to the lake with my family
