Balance Bar® Helps Outlast New Years Resolutions (review & giveaway)



I recently shared some information here on Chat With Vera that could help you in your healthy living and helping you stick with those New Years Resolutions.  Now I've got a real treat for you!  Balance Bar® sent me a delightful assortment of their nutritional bars to sample and tell you about. They are also providing a box of these sample bars for one of Chat With Vera's readers.  

About Balance Bar:  Founded in 1992, Balance Bar®, one of America's original nutrition/energy bars, inspires consumers to lead active, well-rounded and balanced lives by providing great-tasting, healthy and convenient nutrition for lasting energy. Balance Bar®s are available in eight unique product lines (Original, Gold, Dark, Bare, Cafe, CarbWell, nimble and mini) and all 28 flavors are based on the 40/30/30 nutrition model - a proven formula developed by scientists to help stabilize blood sugar levels that represents the caloric ratio the body needs to enjoy lasting balanced energy and satisfy hunger for longer; 40% of total calories from carbs, 30% from quality protein and 30% from dietary fat.  For more information, visit www.Balance.com. Follow Balance Bar® for tips and nutritional information on Facebook (www.facebook.com/Balancebar) and Twitter (www.twitter.com/Balancebar).

I really, really like the Peanut Butter and the Chocolate Mint Cookie Crunch but they are all tasty.  You know, we all have our favorites.  That's because we are different, have different tastes and preferences, and that is why Balance Bar® continues to provide such a terrific assortment for us to choose from.

Peanut Butter Balance Bar: Savor the creamy taste of protein-packed peanut butter in this crave-able peanut butter energy bar. Then try to say "protein-packed peanut butter" five times fast…after you've cleaned off the roof of your mouth, of course. Nutrition at a Glance:
  • 15g Protein
  • 200 Calories
  • Balanced 40-30-30 Nutrition
  • Low Glycemic Index (GI)

  1. The bars would help me get a balanced amount of nutrition and protein without creating a sugar rush.

  2. We use these bars as a meal replacement when we go to amusement parks since most parks have terrible food with long lines at expensive prices. Either the original or gold with the 40-30-30 nutrition would work for us.

  3. The Amy Rosenberg article has some pretty standard ideas for change. My new years goal is to have a cleaner more organized house. So if I use her first item of short term focus or small steps, I would make a plan that perhaps maps out one room per week. Unfortunately I have already done this and completely fallen off my schedule as I have spent the last 3 weeks organizing one bookcase.

  12. The suggestion to outlast the resolutions by involving social media is a good one, once announcing goals they become more realistic and you can get support from friends
