Product Review: Raw Rev Glo Bars - Cookie Dough and Dark Chocolate Espresso

Raw. Rev. Glo. 

What does it mean? 

Raw - Raw and wholesome ingredients 
Rev- Revolutionary!
Glo-Full of omega rich superfoods that keep you GLOing!

So here's the low down on the new Raw Rev Glo bars. They're "high" protein and fiber, low sugar, and organic. They contain sprouted superfoods in every bite. They're vegan, kosher, and non GMO.

Wow, that's a lot of "health" claims. So the important question is: How do they taste?!

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough 


The first one I tried was Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, naturally. I apologize for the poor picture quality but hopefully you can tell how freakin' amazing that melty chocolate was. The chocolate chips were a bit melted due to the lack of A/C in my house and the hot summer weather. However, I think this really added. The chocolate chips were very good - I would never have guessed they were vegan. The bar itself is tiny but dense. It was soft and chewy with a bit of an oily coating. I have a feeling they don't travel that well but it was delicious! As a plant based protein bar, it has lower protein than a whey based protein bar but still decent macros.

Dark Chocolate Espresso atop a pint of Cappuccino Arctic Zero and smothered with love, I mean Mocha Epic Spreads.

The second flavor I tried was the Dark Chocoalte Espresso. This flavor also had amazing chocolate chips and actual espresso beans. MUST LOVE ESPRESSO. The espresso flavor is very prominent. Thankfully, I love both espresso and dark chocolate so this bar was a win for me. Simlar to the CCCD, this bar was also very small, had an oily coating and a soft, dense, chewy texture. It also had similar macros.

Another positive note about these bars is that they're priced very reasonably in comparison to other vegan, organic brands and products. I give them 8/10! I still have to try the peanut butter flavors! Yum!

You've seen edible cookie dough recipes all over the World Wide Web.

Product Review: Tru Fru

If you dip anything in chocolate it's instantly 10x better, right? I like freeze dried fruit and I like  love chocolate so combining the two is a recipe for success!  That's what Tru Fru has done.  The fruit is harvested fresh, freeze dried to lock in the majority of the vitamins, taste, and nutrition. The fruit is then coated in rich chocolate for a snack that is both nutritious and indulgent tasting! You don't have to choose between a nutritious snack or a tasty treat. You can have both in one. That's the concept, so let's get taste-testing! They have several different varieties including: Raspberries, Cherries, Coconut Melts, Strawberries, Bananas, and Cranberries. I first tried the Strawberry variety because chocolate covered strawberries are classic! I really liked it! The dark chocolate coating was smooth and rich while the freeze dried strawberry interior was crunchy and sweet with a slight tang. I found this to be perfectly balanced with

Must Read List

Have you been spending more time at home? Have you finished your entire list on Netflix? If the answer to these is Yes, you might be looking for some ways to fill your time. I personally love to read, especially while laying out in the sunshine. So I thought I would share some of my all time, must read books! I'm a fan of fiction so these books are all fiction! Longtime Favorite:  A Separate Peace I read this book as a freshman in high school and it never left me. The emotions are so piercing and the story so unique that I never forgot it.  Classic:  The Picture of Dorian Gray Thought provoking, emotive, and relatable to the core - this timeless classic will have you turning pages.  Female Must Read:  The Bell Jar Sylvia Plath captures a character that reached deep within my soul. It touches on mental health, feminism and more all while being extremely readable, imo.  Lived Up to the H ype:  The Fault in Our Stars John Green is a master story-teller and this book lived up to the hy
