BRUBAR Energy Bars - A Review and Giveaway!

Like most busy families, we’re often on the go and even though eating a balanced meal is important to me, sometimes it just isn’t possible. That’s why I love it when I find healthy snacks that are not only good for you, but taste great as well! BRUBAR Energy Bars definitely fit this bill!

When I first heard about them, I didn’t have high expectations. I’ve had a lot of “healthy” energy bars that didn’t taste that great. However, I was happy that the ingredients list was short, and I knew what every single one of them was! BRUBAR Energy Bars are sweetened using barley malt, a healthy sweetener made from whole grains. I love that there are no refined sugars in the bar!! As an added bonus they are vegan!

The first time we tried them we were at the park. We went there for a local jazz festival, and I packed a BRUBAR Energy Bar for me and some other snack for Little Miss, assuming she wouldn’t care for the bar. Boy was I wrong! I managed to get one bite of the bar before my daughter consumed the entire thing! The bite I had was delicious, and I loved the moistness of the bar. The texture was great – not overly sticky like some moist bars get in the heat. Little Miss absolutely loved the bar, which I like because the ingredients are so great!

Both of the bars were good – I don’t think either of us preferred one over the other. I’m pretty excited about the apricot flavor they have coming out soon too! That sounds yummy to me. If you’re looking for something that will not only give you energy, but that you can feel good about eating, give BRUBAR Energy Bars a try!

BUY IT: You can buy BRUBAR Energy Bars online here, or shop for them at these locations.

Congratulations to the winner - comment 57!
