Kind Bars: The Kindest Bars


You guys know how much I love protein and veg bars, because they are easy to carry and snack on between meals. But I'm really picky about how they taste, because once in a while you get a bar that tastes more like bark than actual food.

Kind Bars might just be one of the yummiest bars I have had recently. These are amazing, delicious gluten-free bars with minimal ingredients and no preservatives - A real treat. I just ordered the variety pack of the mini bars- around 100 calories per bar. They turned out to be the perfect before I go for a run or mid day snack. They actually curb my sweet tooth as well (and I have super strong sweet tooth). My favorite flavor? Almond Cashew + Flax is the best so far.

Spirulina Crunchies For Your Munchies



Algae. It sounds like a really boring herb or something that you would find growing on your plants in your back yard. But would you believe me if I told you that algae is also superfood? And you can get them in cereal form?
It's true! Spirulina Crunchies are micro-algae that are crunchy and can be mixed into your cereal, soups and salads and smoothies - and they taste great, unlike the other types of Spirulina out there, which is generally in powder form.

This brand is also organic and 100 percent pure.
Here's how the folks from Spirulina Crunchies have to say about this healthy superfood:


Very simply, spirulina is one of nature's healthiest, most nutritious superfoods-
a pure, 100% natural, nutrient-dense, blue-green algae packed with among the highest concentrations
[found in ANY single food source] of iron, complete absorbable protein, chlorophyll,
antioxidants, amino acids (all 8 essential + 10 of 12 non essential), & scores of vitamins & minerals.
Spirulina is a perfectly balanced power packed green whole food
containing over 100 synergistic nutrients easily assimilated by our bodies.
Positioned at the bottom of the food chain it is a hearty "nutrient soup" able to nourish & sustain life.
