It’s back to school time, which means filling lunchboxes with healthy but tasty treats that my girls don’t mind eating and filling my gym bag and car with healthy snacks for me for when I am shuttleing the girls between activities. Health Warrior Chia Bars are a best-selling new bar in the natural food channel nationwide and they are fast becoming my favorite bar when I need a snack!
Health Warrior Chia Bars
are the only bar on the market with chia seeds as its primary
ingredient. They contain only 100 calories per bar (Coconut is the only
flavor with 110 calories) and just five or less grams of sugar. They are
100% natural, vegan and free of dairy, gluten and soy.
They offer several great flavors. If I had to pick a favorite it would have to be Coconut.
- Coconut
- Acai Berry
- Chocolate Peanut Butter
- Apple Cinnamon – NEW
- Banana Nut – NEW
- Coffee – NEW
Health Warrior CEO Shane Emmett describes the philosophy that led to the creation of the Chia Bars, ?Like most Americans, I look for food that is both delicious and healthy. But usually foods that fit these criteria are not quick and convenient. In the past, when I was pressed for time and hunger struck I would pick up whatever was available?usually some sugar-overloaded charlatan of a bar claiming to be healthy. We created Health Warrior Chia Bars so that you don?t have to compromise. The Chia Bars provide a convenient, healthy and, most importantly, delicious snack packed with one of the most nutritious foods known to man as the main ingredient?chia seeds.”
Dan Gluck and Nick Morris, former NCAA Division 1 athletes, founded Health Warrior after they discovered chia seeds by reading Born to Run, which described how the Tarahumara Indians of Mexico run up to 100 miles without shoes, sustained by the mini but mighty chia seed. Today, chia seeds are gaining popularity, as people around the world discover their nutritional power.
The bars themselves are small but are packed full of flavor. They are extremely moist and delicious. Best of all is they really do give me the snack I need for an energy boost and to starve off hunger!!!
In case you are wondering the seeds do indeed get stuck in your teeth so make sure to check a mirror afterwards. I wish I could convey to you how tasty these bars really are!
Best of all my 4 year old really likes them which means I can throw one in her bag for snack time at Preschool. I go to the gym at least a couple times a week and I now keep a couple in my bag so that I always have a quick and healthy snack to have on the go. Many times after a particularly brutal workout I get hungry and I still have to drive home and make lunch so these are a way better option than just buying a non-healthy snack (fast food) on the way home. My internal hunger monster is fed and I still feel good about what I am eating.
