we were recently invted to try nakd bars by natural balance foods - what a treat! they packed up easily to head to the lake with us, they didn't melt in the sun, and they were tasty and packed with energy!
we do some outdoor adventuring around here, you know. packs are often a necessity. and so are tasty snacks.
in ben's case, when he is on the fireline, what is in his pack could mean the difference between life and death. enough water. some high-energy, light-weight foods. a fire shelter. some medical supplies.
over the years, we've learned some things about packing. sometimes the thing we've learned is that we should have taken a pack! and we are getting much better at packing up and remembering to bring our packs with us. especially when we go for a jeep ride, or on a bike ride, or to the lake. everybody needs to bring water, a sweatshirt, sunglasses and a snack. ben and i both have knives, lighters, a few items for first aid, and wipes of some sort. we're prepared for just about anything!
and now we'll have nakd bars to add to our snack list (with nuts, clif bars, dried fruit, and homemade cookies).
my favorite flavors were pecan pie and rhubarb custard. maddie loved the strawberry crunch and the apple crunch. isaac's favorite was the banana crunch. and ben's favorties were the cocoa mint and strawberry crunch.
if you need a packable, high protein snack (gluten and dairy free! and 100% vegan!), these may become your next go-to snack!
keep packing, snacking, playing and enjoying! be wonderful!
