My love for S’mores started when I was a child. Who could resist the chocolate, marshmallow gooeyness, smushed between two graham crackers and cooked over a roaring fire? As I grew older I wasn’t able to have S’mores often, but I never lost my taste for them. For the past two years I have worked with Balance Bars and use their bars for quick snacks or quick breakfasts and lunches. When they contacted me to tell me August 10th is National Smores Day and offered me a box of their S’mores Balance bars, I couldn’t say no. Satisfy my S’mores craving while getting 14 grams of protein and 23 vitamins and minerals? Yes, please.
Balance Bars help keep me going because they are designed with the 40-30-30 nutrition principle, a proven formula developed by scientists to help stabilize your blood sugar levels. Forty percent of calories come from carbohydrates to help sustain energy levels, 30 percent of calories come from quality protein and 30 percent of calories come from dietary fat. That means I stay full longer, which is what I want when I am out running errands during the day.
Here’s the lowdown on the Smore’s Balance Bars: a layer of crunchy graham cracker, topped with a layer of creamy marshmallow filling and covered with chocolate. But, the big question is, how does it taste? I had the kids, except my daughter, who bemoaned the fact that it is not gluten free, test taste. Believe me, if they don’t like it, they take one bite and hand it back to me. This time the reactions ranged from, “Hey! This is not bad!” to “I really like this.” Since I eat these maybe it wasn’t a good idea to let them taste test. Now I have to compete for my S’mores Balance Bars.
Have you tried Smore’s Balance Bars? What are you doing for National Smores Day?
