You may remember GORP Energy Bars from my 2017 review after meeting them at Expo East. If not, here’s my review. They make awesome energy bars and energy bar mixes. I got an email that GORP Bars tweaked their recipe and are now round. They were also on a mega sale! I bought some for me and some to share.
GORP Energy Bars were the brainchild of a budding triathlete and her farmer husband. Once Colleen started her triathlon training, she realized that many energy bars were made with high fructose corn syrup, “cheap vitamins and wonky aftertastes.” She went back to basics. She remembered GORP from childhood. It stands for “Good Old Raisins and Peanuts.” They replaced raisins with raspberries and were off!
GORP Bars are plant based and contain no artificial ingredients. All bars contain protein packed hemp seed and Omega 3 rich flax seeds. Each bar has 11g of plant based protein and is packed with vitamins and minerals. They’re also high in fiber and use whole grain sprouted brown rice protein which is easy to digest and limits bloating.
I ordered several variety packs of bars. The bars come in four flavors: Cocoa, Hemp & Almond, Ginger Snap and Apple, Peanut Butter & Raspberry and Peanut Butter & Apple.
It’s hard to pick a favorite GORP Bar. The bars are filling and taste like real food – because they are! I really like the Ginger Snap & Apple. I love that you can see pieces of fruit and nuts in the bars. I may heat a piece of this one up to try it! The Peanut Butter & Raspberry reminds me of PB&J and it’s really delicious. They’re all unique and very tasty.
The bars are resealable if you want to eat some now and some later. That’s a great feature for hiking, snacking and not getting crumbs in all of your bags!
You don’t have to take my word for it. I’ll send three lucky readers one bar of each flavor to try. The giveaway is open to US residents, 18 or over and is void where prohibited. The giveaway runs through July 28. A winner will be selected and notified on July 29.
