Enjoy Life Chewy Bars are Back and Tastier

Enjoy Life has improved their Chewy Bars and have made them even more tastier.  I have to say I do enjoy the flavors more, and they are very moist.

There are four flavors, Cocoa Loco, Caramel Apple, SunButter Crunch, and Mixed Berry.

My personal favorites are the Caramel Apple and the Mixed Berry, I love the berry pieces and flavors, and the Caramel Apple is perfect for fall.  These are great for on the go, kids lunches or snacks, or a quick snack in the afternoons, try them you will be pleased:)

                                            These are also free of dairy, nuts, and soy

Betty Lou's Gluten Free Snacks

 I was excited to try their wonderful selections.  They have a wider variety of gluten free items, including fruit bars, coconut balls, peanut butter, bars, and more.

Here is a part of their story
 
Everyone wants to feel their best, and when I decided to remove refined sugar from my family's diet 32 years ago, I began creating recipes that were made with honey and brown rice syrup instead. Children know what they like, and my sons were my very first taste-testers. As I fine-tuned the recipes my boys' friends took notice, and soon I had the most popular yard in the neighborhood! I was like the mom with Kool-Aid(tm) in the TV commercial.
I chose "Just Great Stuff... and Plenty of it!" as our motto because it truly reflects the dedication that we have to the quality of our products. I always use the best, healthiest, cutting edge ingredients because I believe that they taste better and make you feel better.

The Betty Lou's Experience

Delicious, healthy food! Food that not only tastes good, but makes you feel good. That's the Betty Lou's promise. Reinvigorate your body with any of our healthy snacks: high-protein shakes, low calorie cookies, nut butter balls, fruit bars, organic-certified bars and more! Make the right choice in taste and health and enjoy Betty Lou's - the Northwest's homegrown health shop.

ALL PRODUCTS CONTAIN ABSOLUTELY NO:

• Wheat
• Refined Sugars
• Hydrogenated Oils! (No Trans Fat)

• Genetically Modified Ingredients (Non-GMO)

I tried the Gluten free Strawberry Fruit Bar and the Gluten Free Coconut Ball.  The fruit bar was so delicious and moist, reminds me of the fig newtons I grew up with but much better and much healthier.  Next I tried the Coconut Ball Macadamia, one word Wow!  This felt like a dessert treat, it was so moist and tasty, the coconut is an added bonus! And it also has 6 grams of fiber:)

They also make these great organic bars with all great stuff in them, that come in four flavors.  The Acai is full of antioxidants and vegan.  These are great bars for your purse or backpack on hikes or just day trips.



Enjoy, and check out their website to find all their products and information

Absolutely Gluten Free Crackers and Flatbread

I came across these great crackers at my local Sendiks and Fresh Market in town.  They have no rice, wheat, or soy, they are made out of potatoes!  I had to try a box, and they are really good, great alone or in my soup.  There is a cracked pepper and an onion cracker, I chose the cracked pepper, it has a really great flavor.

Enjoy Live Soft Decadent Baked Bars

Thanks to Enjoy Life for sending out these new samples to review. 

They have a new bar that comes in four flavors, here is a statement from their website.

"These indulgent bars come in 4 unique flavors, including: S’mores, Cherry Cobbler, Chocolate SunButter®, and Cinnamon Bun. Each bar is topped with a complimentary melt-in-your-mouth white or dark drizzle (depending on the flavor). Decadent bars are a great anytime snack or a luxurious dessert. All bars are gluten-free, free from the top 8 allergens, and verified by the Non-GMO project."

I immediately had to try the Cinnamon Bun, and was pleasantly surprised when I opened it and it had the drizzle on top, extra yummy!  The fact that they are gluten, soy and dairy free was extra special.

This was DELICIOUS, and a great snack to carry around for on the go.  Also great for kid's lunchboxes.

Try some today, here is the website
