Hi friends!
I’m not going to lie in that the last few days I’ve savored the summer air, slow mornings, afternoons at the park, and long bike rides at night. It’s hard to believe that the school year is already upon us in just a week or two. Summer seems to fly by even quicker as the years go on! I don’t know about you, but I’m trying to get a handle on all of the back to school items: pencils, crayons, art smocks, and of course, back to school lunches and snacks.
Whether your child is in school every day, doing a hybrid, or is virtually learning/homeschooling, it is crucial that they have the best fuel to power them through the day. Giving your child (and yourself) high quality foods with healthy fats, important carbohydrates, and muscle building protein will help you and your child stay focused throughout the school year!
With the kiddos back at school and sports, our schedule will be busier than ever. Having healthy snacks that are convenient for on-the-go are important in our house! Nature Valley has been our families go-to snack bar over the years, dating back to my professional soccer days where we were always fully stocked with Nature Valley on game days!
I’m so excited to share that Nature Valley is introducing its newest snack bar, Nature Valley™ Packed™ sustained energy bars. This unique addition has hard-working ingredients you can feel good about like creamy nut butter, crunchy nuts & seeds such as almonds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds or peanuts and chewy cranberries or blueberries.
Not only do our kids love these sustained energy bars, but they are part of my daily meal planning. Nature Valley™ Packed™ delivers on the long-lasting energy I need to get through important parts of my busy day-because as we all know, chasing around 3 kids is a full time job!
I love how these bars check all the boxes in terms of supporting my own active lifestyle- healthy fats, carbohydrates for my workouts, and protein to help me recover when my workout is complete.
Nature Valley™ Packed™ comes in 2 flavors which both the kids and I love: Peanut Butter & Cranberry, which is made with creamy peanut butter, crunchy roasted peanuts, sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds as well as chewy cranberries. They also offer an Almond Butter & Blueberry flavor which is made with creamy almond butter, crunchy almonds, sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds as well as chewy blueberries. The boys love the fruity taste that the blueberries add, and you know me….I love the Peanut Butter!
Do your body a favor this back to school season and try the Nature Valley™ Packed™ bars! Your family will thank you! To try these bars out today, click here for an easy order!
