Product Review G2G Bars

Have you heard that protein bars are bad for you and full of sugar? While that can be true in some cases, I believe that protein bars can be a convenient and nutritious snack option if you choose wisely. They can also taste delicious. G2G bars are fairly new (at least to me) and I was excited to try them despite their higher calorie load (298).

They have four varieties: Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip, Almond Chocolate Chip, Peanut Butter and Fruit, Almond and Fruit. They have no refined sugar; they're sweetened with honey and brown rice syrup. They have whey protein, peanuts and almonds respectively and oats, so the ingredients sound pretty respectable. 

The Taste and Texture Test

Taste: 10/10 for all of them 

They're so simple, they pretty much taste exactly like their components. I love peanut butter and almond butter so a 70g bar that tastes like peanut butter is 10/10 for me!

Texture: 9/10

Chewy, in a good way. They have to be kept in the fridge because they have no preservatives so you need to warm it up so it's nice and soft and chewy. If you try it cold, it's a bit too hard. Nothing a quick 10 seconds in the microwave can't handle!

Nutritional Facts:
298 calories

They are so worth those extra calories plus they are a bit bigger than your typical protein bar. Eat up!

Product Review: Tru Fru

Image
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
