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!
