Happy New Year! I have a confession to make. I’ve been holding out on you. This fall, I had the opportunity to test out a bunch of great healthy products. I decided to hold out and to do a “Healthier in ’17” series of posts and giveaways to power a healthier 2017 for my readers.
First up: Frontier Bites! Frontier Bites are a gluten-free, bite-sized alternative to energy bars. They contain no gluten, soy, dairy or refined sugar. Their slogan is “welcome to the new frontier in snacking.”
Frontier Bites originated with a contest between two brothers. The rules were simple. They had to come up with an energy snack with less than ten ingredients, that was gluten, soy and dairy free, had no refined sugars and could be made with only ingredients you can find in your pantry.
The winner was Nate’s Almond Blueberry Bites. They refined the recipe and the snacks became a mainstay for their adventures. They decided to pursue making Frontier Bites commercially in 2011. Sadly, one of the brothers was killed in a rafting accident not soon after. Matt says, “From humble beginnings and a dream between two brothers, I am excited to be sharing our dream with you. Nate and I wanted to create a better, more convenient snack that would fuel adventures big and small. So whether you’re carpooling kids around town, burning the midnight oil at the office or climbing a mountain, Frontier Bites will be the fuel to help you get there.”
Frontier Bites are now available in three delicious flavors. They come in Almond Blueberry Lemon, Macadamia Pineapple Coconut and Pecan Cherry Cinnamon. All of the flavors have only eight ingredients. You can pronounce and recognize them all. The bites are gluten free, dairy free, soy free and contain no GMO’s and nothing artificial.
I shared my Frontier Bites with Amanda and Kristin. Amanda tried Almond Blueberry Lemon and immediately texted me to say, “These things are delicious. They taste like a cookie! I love the flavor and the crunch. OMG. Where can I buy these?” I also liked the Almond Blueberry Lemon. These have great flavor and no added sugar. The Pecan Cherry Cinnamon is also delicious. Like the Almond Blueberry Lemon, they have a great crunch and are not too sweet. They are nice and crunchy and are more substantial than some similar energy bites I’ve tried. Kristin enjoyed the Macadamia Pineapple Coconut but wished for a bit more pineapple per bite.
The nice folks at Frontier Bites have offered a lucky reader a sampler pack of three to try. Please use the Rafflecopter below to enter. The giveaway is open to US residents, 18 years of age or older and is void where prohibited. The giveaway runs through January 12th. A winner will be selected and notified on January 13.
