Rule #1 while grocery shopping is to never shop while hungry. This should not be an epiphany to anyone on a health journey. But I broke this golden rule recently.
I was at my favorite local natural health store to pick up some water for the office. I was hungry so I ventured down the aisle that contains all the protein, meal replacement, and supplement bars to see if they had anything new and eye catching that may entice my appetite.
They did. I actually picked up 3 of them. This is my snack bar review.
1. Epic Bar. I’ve been seeing this bar more and more lately through the publications that I read from running and CrossFit magazines to paleo publications. The concept of it really entices me. It’s basically meat in a bag made of bison and bacon. I love bison and bacon so why not?
2. Clif Kit’s Organic Fruit and Seed Bar. This is basically Clif Bar’s version of the Lara Bar. If I need something quick, Lara Bar is usually a quick eat to pick me up or even give to our son as a snack. Kit’s looked very similar to Lara Bar just with some added chia seeds.
3. 22 days daily Mocha Mantra Bar. This is a vegan protein bar that was gluten free and dairy free. And who doesn’t love the flavor of mocha? I was hungry, give me a break.
