Product Review: Healthy Choices with Luna and Clif brand Nutrition Bars
We are focusing on healthy foods and snacks for the month of May!
I am a picky eater at times, and I am always on the go. Eating healthy is hard but Luna Bars and Clif bars have made it easier. Now I have no excuses not to take better care of myself. I have tried numerous nutrition bars, meal replacement bars and granola snack bars, and I found them either not satisfying, not appetizing or they left a bad after-taste in my mouth. I have tried various flavors of both the Luna bar and the Clif bar and I was pleasantly surprised at how good they all taste.
Clif bars were named after the company owner’s father, Clifford. The owner lived a very active lifestyle and was eating “other” brands of athletically geared protein/energy bars and found them bad tasting. He started making Clif bars in his mother’s kitchen. Clif bars have more of a soft, chewy texture, and the Luna bars have more of a crunch. Clif bars are all natural, made with certified organic ingredients. Clif bars are geared for athletes and active people, perfect before working out, or moving about.
Some of the new Luna bar flavors taste so delicious and actually decadent, that they could pass for a candy bar! With dessert themed new flavors like; Caramel Nut Brownie, Iced Oatmeal Raisin, Peanut Butter Cookie and Cookies ‘n Cream Delight, these are not your ordinary nutrition bars. These new flavors are delicious while still bringing you 100% natural whole nutrition, designed specifically for women, with 23 vitamins and minerals that we need; such as calcium, folic acid, iron and antioxidants like vitamins A, C & E. Give the new flavors a try and remember to treat yourself! As a woman, I loved the taste but I also loved the packaging and concept behind Luna bars. Each Luna bar has a “dedication” from a real shopper to an important women in her life. They are always fun to read. I also like that it says right on the package- “we believe that food feeds our souls, lifts our spirits
nourishes and sustains us.” As someone dealing with a chronic illness this reminded me how important it is to take better care of myself, especially with things I can control like what I eat. So now when I am not so hungry, or don’t have the time or energy to cook something, I eat a Luna bar. I leave one in my pocketbook in case I am stuck somewhere. I really love them and have given many to friends to try, when they don’t believe when I say how good they taste! Caramel Nut Brownie is my personal favorite.
1% of the companies net sales is donated to charitable causes both local and global.
I found Clif Bars and Luna Bars at national chain stores like Target, GNC
and Trader Joe’s. To find out more about Clif Bars and Luna Bars, or to find a store near you that sells them check out: www.clifbar.com
