It's WIAW time! And the last one of January. Will 2013 fly the same way that 2012 did?
It's filled with two tasty chocolate flavors - Balance Bar Gold Chocolate Mint Cookie Crunch Bars and Balance Bar Chocolate Raspberry Bars.
While they taste like creamy, indulgent dark chocolate bars, they bring more to the table. If you're properly peckish or you need to fuel up for a busy day (or an arctic trek to lecture) these are a good bet.
They're fortified with the vitamins and minerals you need to keep your body running smoothly and they come with quite the protein punch, too!
The bars both have Balance Bar's carefully formatted macronutrient ratios to provide you with longer lasting energy.
The ingredients list isn't particularly short, but there isn't anything too awful in there - no high fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated oils, artificial dyes, or fake sugars here!
The chocolate raspberry bar was new to me, but they really nail it! The chocolate is creamy and indulgent, the raspberry flavor permeates the bar (it's a raspberry essence, not awkward chunks of dried raspberry).
Double points for even having rich chocolate chips in there! Yum!
The chocolate mint cookie crunch bar is an old favorite, of course.
As delicious as ever, it's tried-and-true. With all of their tasty flavors, I really can't choose which Balance Bar is the very best!
One thing is for sure: it's going to be just as packed with yummy food!
Old favorites and new favorites, but always lots of flavors and textures in my combos! You can start with some pretty unrelated ingredients...
...and end up with a delicious breakfast or snack!
As always, there's no better way to start the day than with a Chobani combo full of sweet, crunchy yumminess.
I eat my veggies in unorthodox ways - like with peanut sauce and apples (and bars, of course).
YUM.
I love granola and I love cereal, but I'm of the persuasion that more textures and flavors is very often a good thing. In the above, I paired granola with walnuts, almonds, cheerios, dried cranberries, and chocolate chips. Oh, and greek yogurt (naturally).
A shake of cinnamon for extra yumminess!
And I know I'm probably 19 going on 90, but I love prunes. They taste so good in my yogurt messes!
Anywho, the end of January means that February is right around the bend. For those of us (cough cough, me) who go hard-core for the holidays and have post-Christmas withdrawal, February is a beacon of light with a little mini-holiday (Valentine's Day) to look forward to.
Good thing, too, because January and February (but especially February) are always freeze-your-tailfeathers-off cold! It's absolutely arctic and while I prefer cold weather to hot weather, this sort of icy weather makes walking to class no fun.
So a little V Day cheer is definitely called for.
A lot of products are putting out great Valentine's Day treats already - there are heart shaped baked goods, pastel candy hearts, and red boxes full of chocolate truffles everywhere that you turn! In case your Valentine is into healthier fare, or just in need of a more substantial snack, Balance Bar has a great gift for you to give!
Personally, I would send myself this Valentine's Day tin.
