Rice Krispie Treat Anyone?

Um yeah, I think I found my new favorite not-so-guilty pleasure!  The folks at Nature’s Path sent me some of their new granola bars to sample and they have the cutest names!  Today post kickboxing, I had to run a bunch of errands so I decided to try the “Sunny Hemp” flavor since it is appropriately sunny outside :)   I know I mentioned earlier that I am eating clean and ditching the granola bars, but I did make an exception because I can understand all of the ingredients and they are organic, so I feel that they are in-line with my clean eating philosophy…

I have to say after the first bite the first thing that popped into my mind was Rice Krispie Treat!  Seriously, to me anyway, this bar tasted just like one with the exception of way more nutritious ingredients being added into the mix like flaxseeds and hemp seeds…

Anyway, as you can tell I was very impressed… I hope the other flavors are just as yummy….

GIVEAWAY OPPORTUNITY

That being said, I think you guys would love an opportunity to win a month’s supply of these bars right?  Well, if so, please leave me a comment and let me know where you bring your bars…. The contest will end at 8pm EST Sunday.  One winner will be selected at random and will be announced on Monday :)

    Too cool! I’d bring them with me on my morning commutes. It takes me about an hour and a half to get to school – one way.. so that is about three hours each day commuting!

    As starving grad student, I’d bring them just about everywhere. Pocket, purse, backpack, desk. Always down for a nutrition punch that taste like a rice krispie treat :)

    I’m a ballet dancer and need something light in the morning before I start class. Can’t do anything heavy because I wouldn’t be able to do much on a full stomach. Nutritional/Energy bars are great for my breakfast, so I bring them to work and eat them pre-class! These sound nummy! I hope I win! :) Thanks for the giveaway!

    I’d bring them to keep at work. My officemate has the worst eating habits so I like to keep healthier snack food in the office so when he gets hungry, I can give another option besides Fire Hot Cheetos.

    Whenever I need to go out-and-about to do errands, I throw a bar in my bag for a snack so I am not tempted to buy something unhealthy!

    I bring my bars everywhere- I’m out of the house from 7am to 730pm on a good day and since my hunger levels shift I never know if my packed meals will be enough. Bars are a lifesaver :)

    I bring bars to sporting events when i don’t have time to eat a meal or to the gym if I am not going home right after. I like to have one in the car for a “just incase” also.

    Yum – they do look great!
    And I bring bars everywhere! I try to have one on stock in my car, in my backpack, in my purse, at work, and sometimes even in my coat pocket :P haha.
    Hey – you never know when hunger’s gonna strike! They’re especially handy for a pick-me-up in between classes, though. And work, since I hate taking the time to sit down for an actual snack.
