The need for a quick, portable snack is high on my list. Also high on my list is that it's got to taste good and not include "fake" ingredients like fructose and chemicals I cannot even pronounce. Enter You Bar.
A You Bar you get to create your own nutrition bar from scratch. You know every single ingredient that's inside your customized bar and they guarantee that you'll love the taste.
When you order your bars they come in a handy box.
And they even print your name on each of the bars! I was clearly boring when I put just my first name but you could be creative and write anything your little heart desires.
Each bar has the ingredients you chose along with the nutrition information. The bar I made included mostly vegan ingredients: Organic Dates, Organic Clover Honey, Almonds, Soy Protein, Apricots, Prunes, Chia Seeds, Vanilla Extract, All-In-One Vitamin Infusion, Oat Bran and Organic Ginger.
My "recipe" doesn't look the prettiest but it sure tastes good and it hits the spot when I need a tasty, healthy snack to get me through the day.
The cost of these creations is a little pricier than what you'll find in a grocery store (about $2.75/each after shipping) but I don't mind since I know exactly that this bar is made to my specifications and I can control the flavors, calories and nutrition in each one. In fact, when you're building your bar you can watch the nutrition information change with each addition or subtraction of the ingredients.
I don't know that I'd sign up to get the regular shipments of these bars but I'll definitely be ordering these again down the road. I'm sort of excited to try a new flavor already!

I want them just to have a bar with my name on it! Wicked cool!
