Susie and I loved all of the great goodies at the end of the Phoenix Marathon. The nice folks from Sprouts were handing out Coconut Bars from YummyHealth. They are like healthy Mounds Bars – think low sugar and more protein with a great taste. We grabbed a handful and really enjoyed them! Susie reached out to them and they sent here a bunch for review. They then offered me a couple of each flavor to try and one of each of their six flavors for a lucky reader to try. Read on. learn more, and then enter the giveaway with the Rafflecopter below.
YummyHealth was founded by Lisa Goldbaum, a New York mom looking for healthy, delicious snack options for her children. Lisa was “unimpressed” by “healthy” snacks that were still loaded with sugar, and actual healthy snacks that “tasted like cardboard.” Instead of sitting by, Lisa created YummySnacks. YummySnacks are low in the sugars and processed starches that “wreak havoc on kids’ energy levels, moods and food cravings.” Oh, and they are great for sweets loving grown ups, like me, too. Prefer salty? They also make healthy chips!
YummySnack Bars™ are the “better-than-candy” bars. They’re made of wholesome, real-food ingredients like flaxseed, coconut, natural peanut butter and cocoa, but they taste like your favorite candy bars! The bars contain no high-fructose corn syrup, no artificial preservatives and no trans fats or hydrogenated oils. YummySnack Bars are:
- Gluten-free
- Low in sugar
- High fiber
- Protein
- Omega 3s
- Made with all natural colors and flavors
YummySnack Bars come in 6 flavors: Coconut, Peppermint, Peanut Butter, Brownie, Cookie Dough and Chocolate. My faves are Peppermint, Coconut and Peanut Butter! For me, they hit the spot for a sweet treat, but they have less sugar so they are satisfying without sending me off of the rails and looking for more sweets. I am a big fan! It makes sense to try all of the flavors to find your faves. The all chocolate and cookie dough flavors did not hit the spot for me as much as my three faves. That said, everyone has different preferences, so give them all a try!
One lucky reader will win a 6 bar sampler of one of each flavor. Please use the Rafflecopter below to enter. The giveaway is open to US residents only, 18 years of age or older and void where prohibited. The contest runs through August 6th. A winner will be selected and notified on August 7th.
In the meantime, you can buy YummyHealth bars and chips online or on Amazon. You can also keep up with them on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.
