Snack Smarter with Balance-#CraveFreely #Giveaway

This post is sponsored by the Mom It Forward Blogger Network and Balance Bar. As always my words and views are 100% my own. #CraveFreely

Are you a chocolate lover? Do you crave a delicious snack every now and then? If you are like me, it may be a daily craving. We live in a world that makes us feel guilty if we indulge in those cravings. When we do, we can end up feeling bad and wishing we had not eaten whatever it was. I have always said the key to a healthy diet is moderation. I think we have all seen those who overdue it in one way or another. I am talking about those individuals that go on extreme diets not allowing themselves one grain of sugar and those that just indulge way too much and do not make any healthy choices.

If we balance our choices, it won’t leave us with the feeling that we have to deny ourselves any foods or treats we truly enjoy. This is why I was so happy to see Balance. Balance lets us enjoy those snacks we crave, savor the sweetness we love but also give us the nutrition our body needs. With Balance I can snack smarter and still indulge my sweet tooth in a way I don’t feel guilty about. Balance bars are a snack option with the perfect balance of great taste and energizing ingredients. Available in four new flavors like Chocolate Caramel Peanut Nougat, Chocolate Peppermint Patty, Dark Chocolate Pecan Turtle and Dulce De Leche & Caramel. These flavors are so good, they don’t’ taste like you are sacrificing anything, they are full of the decadent taste I crave along with the protein and fiber I need.

Each bar has 190 calories or less and contains 5-7 grams of protein along with 5-6 grams of fiber. The new flavors come in a pack of 2 mini bars which make it feel even more like a candy bar to me. They even have single mini bars to help you snack easily on-the-go.

Balance is available at CVS, Walgreens, Amazon and select Walmart stores nationwide. You can stay in the loop with Balance Bar on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.

Kind Healthy Grains Bars, Perfect For Superheroes & Everyone Else! #kindawesome

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

With the launch of Kind Healthy Grains Bars, I was asked to recognize my own personal super hero. That’s easy for me, my real super hero is my son Michael who fought and won the battle against Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. He had surgery and went through PET scans, CAT scans, and nearly 3 weeks of radiation treatment without complaining and was an inspiration to all around him including the doctors, nurses and other patients.

That was quite an ordeal, but you would never know if judging from his sense of humor, great attitude and champion spirit. It’s hard being a teenager but to add a cancer diagnosis to what should be carefree, fun years really ups the ante. Just like a superhero that saves the day and pummels the bad guy, Michael did just that and beat Hodgkin’s Lymphoma with a TKO punch! For my son and all the other superheroes who have fought a fight they never wanted to be in, know that you are stronger than steel and braver than any man in tights could hope to be.

For superheroes and everyone else, Kind has healthy grain bars that pack a punch of taste and goodness. Each bar contains 18-22 grams of whole grains sourced from a blend of 100% unique whole grains including amaranth, quinoa, gluten-free oats, millet and buckwheat making them the perfect snack for any super hero’s healthy lifestyle. Great to pack in a lunch box, keep in your purse or take with you for a nutrition packed snack during hiking, walking or other activities. Flavors of the new bars are Dark Chocolate Chunk, Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate, Vanilla Blueberry, Maple Pumpkin Seeds with Sea Salt and Oats & Honey with Toasted Coconut.

I recently had the chance to try these and they were perfect for that healthy snack when you did not want to eat something bad but needed a boost. Satisfying and delicious, so much that even my little ones liked them. A great alternative to that time when you want to run to the vending machine at work for something you will regret after. Try them today and get your snack on! You can also follow Kind on Facebook and Twitter and Instagram.
