***Please note that I was provided these products FREE of charge in exchange for this review. However, I have already purchased three of these products for myself previously. One thing about our family that is certain is that we are a family on the go. I almost cried this past week when my car had to go into the garage because I knew that meant borrowing grandma’s car and we would not have our normal vehicle luxuries (I even carry tape, lotion, hand sanitizer, tissues, and much more in my car!) It’s my virtual house on wheels! So, we also eat on the go a lot between school events, family events, church, and our other activities like running errands. Many times I try to pack as many snacks as possible to keep everyone’s appetite in check, and my wallet! I also like to pack snacks that are friendly to the waistline as well!
When I was given the opportunity to review some Nature Valley products, I jumped at the chance, because we already love these products, and I knew that these could be added to our on-the-go food stash! Another issue for hubby is that he is trying to eat from a low-carb/high protein menu, so the Greek Yogurt Protein bars and granola were his top choice! My son’s favorite is not pictured, but he LOVES their Sweet & Salty Granola Bars, and takes these for his morning snack to school.
The benefits of granola are endless, because it’s healthy and part of a low-fat/low-cholesterol diet, and isn’t super high in calories. The biggest issue for me as a pregnant mama, is that I definitely need more fiber in my diet, and so all of these products work for me. One thing you don’t know is that we’ve already eaten out of these boxes! Yep, we actually had to tape them for the pictures!! Read more about the Health Benefits of Granola!
These products are also a healthy snack that you can eat any meal! I also love Nature Valley’s Preserve the Parks program, where they are working to help preserve our national parks! They have a photo album on their website where you can view all of the projects they’ve completed!
