Why OneBar Is My New Favorite Healthy Snack + A Giveaway!
Whether you work full time or not, everyone can relate to the 3 o’clock munchies.
I mean it’s the time between lunch and dinner where your tummy wants something–anything to munch on. I have been doing a lot better with my 3pm snack choices lately as I have been buying a banana everyday when I purchase my breakfast. Lately however, I have been getting a little tired of the same ole same ole and was excited that I got to try the new OneBar.
Before I even tasted it I was super impressed by the credentials! It has:
- Gluten free
- Vegan
- Has one entire serving of fruit
- 70 calories
- Has Baobab which is a calcium protein
What is Baobab?
Glad you asked! It is a powerful super fruit that is packed with more nutrition than any other super fruit. Baobab is one of the few sources of dietary calcium found in plants – perfect for vegans and vegetarians. Baobab has nearly six times the amount of potassium found in bananas, lots of vitamin C and is a great source of fiber and magnesium.
I was provided with Apple, Cherry & Mango to try. You already know this island girl was super happy to taste the mango. When I opened it, I naturally smelled it first to see what I was getting into, it smelled like pure (not manufactured) mango yet it looked like a chewy bar.
The taste
It was one of those moments where you take a bite of something and you can’t believe what you are eating. Mangoes are easily one of my favorite fruits because it brings back so many amazing memories of the many summers I spent in Jamaica growing up. I have tasted many other products with mango flavoring but never have I tried something that tasted like I was eating the natural mango.
I don’t know how they did it but OneBar captures the naturalness of the mango. It tasted like I had taken a bite of a mango, except it wasn’t the fruit. It was a bar. As you can already tell, my mind was pretty blown.
It wasn’t full of sugar either–it just had the natural mango sweetness nothing additional. It was perfection. I need some boxes of the mango flavor delivered to my home, Stat! It is a great alternative to my banana and it’s nice and small enough to hide from my kids put in my bag. Perfect for when I’m on the go meeting clients, perfect for when I’m on the train riding my crazy long commute, and simply perfect for an anytime snack. The fact that it has one entire serving of fruit in every bar is a big WIN for me!
