Although I’ve been following a very specific eating plan as part of a 7-day detox, I had to stray for about 2 minutes yesterday afternoon so I could enjoy one of PROBAR’s newest delights – the Fruition.
While the PROBAR, the company’s mainstay, is a meal in and of itself, the Fruition bar was designed to be a snack. A fruit-based blend of flavorful ingredients, each bar nets out at only 160 calories and weighs only 1.7 ounces (in case you’re into hiking or climbing where every percentage of an ounce counts). Each bar contains two servings of fruit, as well as organic rolled oats, and (here comes the surprise ingredients) white and black chia seeds.
Art Eggertsen, PROBAR founder, says, “We opted to use chia seeds because they are nutritionally dense, antioxidant rich, loaded with essential fatty acids, and deliver a wealth of good in a small package.”
Though I was visibly low on energy as I walked out the door yesterday afternoon, slowly un-peeling my Strawberry Fruition bar, I was ready to go once I reached my destination. The fruit and chia seeds gave me the punch of energy I desperately needed.
I’ve been a long time fan of PROBARs, especially the Superfood Slam and Original Blend, for grab-and-go healthy, real food meals when I’m traveling. And I’m now a huge fan of their Fruition bar.
Throw one or two in your gym bag. They just hit shelves last month.
