If You Love Sesame Seeds, You'll Love BumbleBars
When it comes to food, I definitely judge a snack bar by its package. The bright golden colored wrapper on the BumbleBar is what attracted me to it (I also like cute names). Many energy bars can include lots of crappy ingredients, but when I flipped this bar over and read the nutritional info, I was pleasantly surprised.
My SOYJOY Bars Arrived!!!
Do you remember a little while back I told you about SOYJOY bars. If you gave them your address, they promised to send you 3 free bars.
As exciting as it was to get free treats in the mail, I'm sorry to say these bars are pretty gross.
Spread the SOYJOY: They're Free!
I've never actually tried these nutrition bars from SOYJOY, but that's okay because they'll send me (and you too) 3 bars to try for free. They want you to try 1, and promise to share the other 2 with your friends. Give them your info and you should receive the bars in about 3-4 weeks.
Not a Puzzle to Me: Jigsaw Health Bars
If you have been reading FitSugar, then you already know that I am a bit of a health/protein bar fanatic. I wouldn't say I am picky, but bars are so hit and miss when it comes to taste and it's just too hard to tell from the packaging.

Food Review: Dr. Melina Protein Bars
When it comes to pre-workout snacks, I like to mix things up, so when I spotted a new-to-me brand, Dr. Melina Protein Bars, at my corner store the other day, I snapped one up.
I was excited to learn that the brand was created by a female doctor who resides in Sugar's fair city of San Francisco, an internist and nutritionist named Dr.
Good Tips for Choosing a Great Breakfast Bar
Breakfast bars are a great idea, in theory. However, some mainstream breakfast bars are high in sugar, low in protein and very low in taste. So before you buy a box of new breakfast bars, be sure to check out these requirements for picking a good bar:
- It should not have more than 15 grams of sugar.
- It should have 5 grams or more of fiber.
- It should have at least 5 grams of protein.
- It should contain 25% of the DV for calcium.
Energy Bars Are Good For Me, Right?
Let's put it this way - they're better than reaching for a Snickers bar.
These kinds of bars do serve a purpose. They are a convenient, portable way to deliver a balance of key nutrients like protein, carbs, fat and some vitamins and minerals.
New Tastes Coming in Energy Bars: Luna and Lara
Both my favorite brands of energy bars are coming out with new tastes this Spring. Luna Bar has updated its recipe, and Larabar will be debuting three new flavors soon. For me, and the stash of energy bars I keep in my purse and gym bag, this is exciting news.
Food Review: thinkGreen Peanut Butter Chocolate Bar
When it comes to meeting my daily nutritional requirements, I like to eat my vitamins and minerals in whole foods. Occasionally, I fall short on this. I also often need a quick, easily digestible pre-workout snack.
