I’m 1 month post baby #4. It’s only been in the last week or so that I’ve felt like I could really start getting into some type of routine to try to lose some of the baby weight. For me it’s always difficult to find a healthy balance. I want to watch what I eat bu I have to eat enough and eat healthy enough for my baby because I’m nursing. I definitely don’t want to be eating stuff that’s full of preservatives, artificially produced ingredients, etc.
Pure Fitness Nutrition has Gourmet Protein Bars that are 100% all natural ingredients. No trans fats, 25 grams of pure isolate protein, with an ingredient list you’ll actually understand. They come in lots of yummy flavors like dark chocolate cranberry, peanut butter jelly crunch, and more.
Looking at the ingredient list you see things like: Raw Oats, Chia Seeds, Natural Strawberry Jam (in the
peanut butter jelly crunch flavor that is), natural peanut butter, you know things you would actually want to eat. There is no crazy sounding ingredients you can’t pronounce.
I received 3 of these bars to try: Peanut Butter Jelly Crunch, Banana Chocolate Nut, and Dark Chocolate Cranberry.
I first dove right into the
Dark Chocolate Cranberry. Oh my goodness it was so tasty and I loved the texture and consistency of each bar. You could actually see the oats, chia seeds, etc. in each bar. It was quite filling and I didn’t feel the need to snack for a couple hours after eating it.
I do have to say that there was a down side to these bars. I almost hate to say it but I’m about being truthful, the day of and half of the next day I was very gassy. The baby was too. My poor baby girl was screaming most of the day and kept releasing gas. It was a long day for momma. I couldn’t figure out why we were both in that situation. I was trying to think of everything I ate. Nothing different or out of the ordinary other than the protein bar. Admittedly I was hesitant to eat another one but I ate about half of one of the bars rather than the whole bar and I did have some issues again. I have some kind of stomach issues anyway. I’ve been to the doctor several times about it and they really don’t know what it is and keep telling me to try different things so it doesn’t take much to throw my body out of wack. So there you go, that was the negative for me of these bars.
I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
