Mother’s Day GIVEAWAY

by

*Congratulations to: “Bendiful” for winning my Mother’s Day Giveaway!* 
I’m sure we can all agree that “mothers are America’s unsung endurance athletes.” So, whether you’re a mom or you know a mom that can use a quick, chocolate snack (and who doesn’t?), CLIF has decided to giveaway a box of their most-loved chocolate protein bars and snack bars. I love this giveaway because I eat some of these bars during my training seasons, and sometimes when I need a pick-me-up while running around all day. I can personally vouch that the Chocolate Almond Coconut MOJO bar is amazing and that the Chocolate Peanut Butter CRUNCH bar is the perfect pre-workout snack (and it’s fabulous crumbled on yogurt too!). I’ll admit that I haven’t tried the original Clif bars (you’ll receive Chocolate Brownie and Chocolate Almond Fudge) because they have more calories (240) than my personal diet allots for a bar (I never grab a bar that has more than 200 calories for a snack), but if I were in endurance training or needed an alternate solution to a cookie craving, the flavors sound amazing and I’m sure I’d reach right for them!

On a side note, Clif has new BUILDERS flavors, which I tried a bite of (once again, way too many calories (270) for my diet at the moment since I’m not in training), and I loved the new S’mores flavor. With 20 grams of protein, if you’re a workout feign, then I’d definitely recommend grabbing that one! They’re really high in carbohydrates, but athletes know that you need a balance of carbs and protein to recover from an intense workout.
Also, have you seen the new LUNA Fiber bars? These have me really excited because they clock in around 110 calories, so they’re perfect for that snack on-the-go when you feel like you just can’t make it to the next meal without a bite. I gobbled up the Vanilla Blueberry flavor and felt like I’d rather have one of those over an afternoon cookie (and that’s really saying something)! Yum.
