If you’re looking for the perfect stocking stuffers for athletes, exercisers, family members or friends with food allergies, pick up a few Liv Bars as well as a couple for yourself!
What’s a Liv Bar, you ask?
Liv Bars were created by Jan, a practicing nutritionist, for her clients and for her husband Gabe who have food allergies and want a snack that they can take when they’re on the go. There was a definite need for a snack that’s organic, nutritionally balanced, low allergen, and made from real food. Current energy bars in the supermarket just weren’t cutting it for those who need or want to watch what they eat. Liv Bars are:
- gluten-free
- soy-free
- dairy-free
- corn-free
- GMO-free.
They’re an organic, superfood bar that will help give you energy and satisfy your hunger pangs till meal time. Plus, they contain immunity-boosting ingredients, and we all could use a boost to our immune systems right about now.
And now, you can find Liv Bars in all 50 U.S. states!
You can also feel good about the fact that Liv Bars come in compostable wrappers so you can add them to your own compost pile or put them in with your veggie scraps to be picked up by your city or town for composting! Plus, Liv Bars are manufactured in the company’s own solar-powered plants in Oregon.
I was sent a box of LivBars to try out. Although I try hard not to snack, I am often on the go doing some kind of exercise: jogging, walking, hiking, or biking. When I’m hiking or biking especially, they are times when I feel low energy. I don’t eat a big breakfast, and I often pass on lunch except for maybe a couple of spoonfuls of yogurt. So there are times when I’m out in the woods hiking for a couple of hours or biking on the Rails to Trails path that I could use an energy boost or my stomach starts grumbling. LivBars fill the bill.
I received the Crowd Pleaser Box with 12 LivBars in the following 5 flavors:
- Lemongrass Cherry Matcha
- Ginger Lemon Turmeric
- Coffee Maple Cacao
- Raspberry Kale Maca
- Blueberry Vanilla Kale.
I got 2 each of the first 3 flavors, and 3 of the Raspberry and Blueberry bars. The bars are 100% baked, and they won’t freeze or melt, perfect to take camping or hiking or even to leave in the car for when hunger strikes. Just pop a couple in my backpack or bicycle basket. They even fit in a pocket.
Each bar is pretty big, 1.55 oz., and quite filling as well as tasty, containing about 220 calories. If you’re looking for a 100 calorie snack, just cut it in half and save the other half for tomorrow.
So far, my favorites are the Raspberry and Blueberry because the fruit flavors are very fruity and appealing. The Coffee Maple Cacao is also good. And best of all, they definitely take the edge off when I’m hungry!
Here’s a list of the ingredients for the Blueberry Vanilla Kale bar so you can see an example of what’s in the LivBar:
Organic Pumpkin Seeds, Organic Coconut Nectar, Organic Sunflower Seeds, Organic Coconut, Organic Sesame Seeds, Organic Dates, Organic Hemp Seeds, Organic Virgin Coconut Oil, Organic Brown Rice Crisped, Organic Flax Meal, Organic Quinoa Crisped, Organic Cherries, Organic Coconut Sugar, Organic Vanilla Extract, Organic Cherry Extract, Organic Matcha, Organic Cinnamon, Himalayan Salt, Baking Soda, Organic Lemongrass Oil
In addition to the Crowd Pleaser Box, they also have two other variety boxes also with 12 bars:
- Vegan Organic Nutrition Bars: 3 each of 4 flavors from the Crowd Pleaser Box but without the Lemongrass Cherry Matcha bar
- Vegan Variety Box: 6 each of Ginger Lemon Turmeric and Lemongrass Cherry Matcha bars
All three variety boxes can be purchased on the LivBar website. The regular price is $36 per box of 12, but they’re on sale now for $33/box. And the carbon neutral shipping is free. 🙂 LivBars are also sold in stores. The LivBar website has a store locator to help you find them. There are two stores in about 10 miles from where I live.
So if you watch how you snack or if you have food allergies, get to know LivBars for good nutrition, good taste and an energy boost!
Oh, I would absolutely LOVE to try these! These sound delicious, and a great way to eat a little something when one is on the go! Thank you for introducing me to these bars, Allison!
