I have made a fantastic new discovery... KIND bars. They're these great bars that are full of good stuff like nuts, honey, and sometimes chocolate... sometimes fruit. A friend of mine, who has lost 125 pounds over the past 12 months, discovered these little gems when she was trying to find a healthy snack. She eats these when she misses a meal, needs some energy, or before a work-out (which she does daily). Though I wasn't looking for a meal substitute or something to eat before working out (because this girl doesn't intentionally work out), I was interested in a healthy snack.
One day, while going through the grocery store, I saw these bars and thought I would buy one and give it a try. I fell in love. My favorites are Peanut Butter/Dark Chocolate and Dark Chocolate/Cinnamon Pecan. Love them! And, apparently so does the rest of the world because every time I try to different stores to buy some - they're sold out.
I love that these bars are packed with protein, have minimum sugar, and have no cholesterol (though I've been blessed with good cholesterol numbers), and have low sodium. While there is fat, it is generally more healthy fat - because of the nuts. They're crunchy (sometimes a bit too hard) and have the right amount of sweetness. I totally recommend them!
Happy Thursday!
Thanks for the tip. My hubby's glucose numbers are little high so we've been looking for snacks that are low in sugar but tasty. I'm definitely going to try these!
ReplyDeleteThese will definitely help. They provide those necessary complex carbs that help with blood sugars. My favorite is the peanut butter dark chocolate, but he might like the dark chocolate cinnamon pecan. Cinnamon is a good regulator for blood sugar.
