I was fortunate enough to be able to sample EatStrong’s new Trail Mix and Energy Bar.
The Energy Bar is basically a huge bar of peanut butter with a nice crunch to it and “chocolate chips” (organic cocoa) liberally incorporated throughout, but still only has the average 230 calories most energy . I didn’t know what to expect when I opened it because the color is a bit off-putting… but the taste is so good! And it kept me full for a few hours.
The snack mix includes cashews, flax, sunflower seeds, walnuts, pistachios, almonds, and organic cocoa drops. The bag has the perfect amount to satisfy and is full of fiber, vitamins, and minerals. The chocolate drops were obviously my favorite, but the rest was good, too. The snack mix is a little more calorie dense, but only by a little bit at 260. It also kept me full for quite a while.
I was pretty impressed with the products and the simple ingredient list. It’s convenient and delicious. Try it out!!
I figured I’d keep with the healthy topic and give a healthy recipe today because I do actually try to eat well aside from all the baking I do.
