Bobo’s Oat Bars Healthy On the Go Snack Review and Giveaway

As a mom with a three year old and a five year old, I like to keep some snacks on hand in my purse and car for occasions when I need them. It can be a challenge to find healthy, yummy snacks for my stash and now that I am pregnant and I want to snack all the time too, I have been looking for more options! I just found Bobo's Oat bars and they are great!

Bobo’s Oat Bars are distributed nationwide, made with non-GMO ingredients, are wheat-free and vegan. The bars are sweetened with brown rice syrup, a sweetener low on the glycemic index, which means it’s slower for your body to metabolize. Bobo’s Oat Bars are also made with organic rolled oats and heart-healthy oils. The bar comes in ten flavors so you can have lots of variety.

Bobo’s Oat Bars have been recognized by Shape magazine as the healthy snack to grab when you’re craving an afternoon treat. The bar is featured in Shape’s October 2010 issue as a tasty and nutritious choice that is low in fat and calories, yet high in satisfaction.

We tried three flavors of Bobo's Oat Bars- Coconut, Almond, and Oatmeal Raisin. First I tried the Coconut and it was delicious. It reminded me of a macaroon but not quite as sweet and you still go all the good texture an flavor of the organic oats. The almond had a marzapan taste to it was was delicious. My three year old approved of both of these selections too! Last, we tried the Oatmeal Raisin and I kid you not, it is just like an oatmeal cookie in flavor. I like these bars because they are free of artificial ingredients, additives, sweeteners and other harsh chemicals. I like that they are high in fiber offer some protein and they taste great. They are a great healthy snack to have on hand.

Bobo's Oat Bars Can be purchased online or you can use the store locator to find them in a retail store near you.

ZenSoy Organic Pudding Review and Giveaway

I just discovered ZenSoy organic soy products. You would think that organic soy would be easy to find but did you know that "97% of all soybeans are sprayed with pesticides"? Wow. That is why ZenSoy started the campaign Pandas Against Pesticides to safeguard the environment and our food supply from harmful chemical pesticides. ZenSoy pledges 5% of all profits to international wildlife organizations and to promote organic farming! The soybeans for ZenSoy soymilk and pudding are all organically grown in the USA and they are GMO free!

While soy has been touted for health benefits including heart health, bone health, and menopausal health, I eat and drink soy milk on occasion for variety. My family and I got to try the ZenSoy pudding. Their organic soy puddings are available in creamy chocolate, fruity banana flavors, vanilla and a chocolate/vanilla swirl. I was pretty sure I would like their pudding but I was curious to see what my husband and children would think of soy pudding. My husband doesn't really like soy products all that much but when I tasted this pudding, I was sure he wouldn't even be able to tell the difference between milk pudding and this soy milk pudding. It is really delicious! I have to say that this pudding is really very smooth and creamy and just plain yummy. My family approves!



Next time you reach for a soy product, reach for ZenSoy so you can be sure it is organic and GMO free! Their products are available at Krogers and Whole Foods and you can use their store locator if you need help finding a store near you.

GIVEAWAY DETAILS:
Two winners will each receive a free case of ZenSoy pudding, awarded in the form of free product coupons, and a ZenSoy t-shirt with the cute Panda on it.
