My morning routines tend to be pretty busy. With getting two young kids up and out the door to swim practice, the gym, or whatever activity we have planned for the day, I rarely think about preparing a meal for myself. And with breakfast being the most important meal of the day, it's necessary to find a quick and healthy option that is going to power me through my morning.
So when i was given the opportunity to try Perfect Bar, I jumped at the chance.
When you start reading the ingredients on many of the "healthy" protein bars on the shelf, you'll realize that they're hardly healthy. And if they do meet the healthy standards, they just don't taste good. So I was pleasantly surprised when I took my first bite of a Perfect Bar (I think I started with the Peanut Butter) and tasted real, simple and tasty ingredients. Each bar I tried was better than the last, making it hard for me to choose a favorite. (Right now I think it's a tie between the Almond Coconut and Cranberry Crunch.)
All of the Perfect Bars are Non-GMO and Gluten-Free, with most of them also being Soy-Free. They are packed with complex carbohydrates, good fats, organic ingredients and healthy proteins. They powered me through morning runs, high-intensity strength and cardio classes, and even a several-hour swim-a-thon!
If you're searching for a protein bar that is good for you and sustains you through your busy scheudle, give these a try. You can purchase them ONLINE or at the following locations: Whole Foods, The Fresh Market, and Good Nutrition. Click HERE to find a list of locations nearest you.

Note: I was given a free sample box of Perfect Bars to try, however the ideas and opinions above are my own.
About Perfect Bar
Well around here we do things a little differently. Perfect Foods Bars are delicious, great tasting bars that DON'T have any added chemical preservatives. We start with a delicious, creamy blend of freshly ground peanut butter and almond butter, then add organic honey and nutrient dense whole foods and whole food protein. They taste so good, you won't believe they're so good for you.
10 Reasons to try Perfect Foods Bars:
10. Simple Ingredients. Real Food. You can pronounce all of the ingredients without a chemistry degree.
9. Over 20 nutrient dense organic whole foods provide good vitamins and minerals on-the-go. Plus, with ingredients such as tomato, bell pepper, alfalfa and celery, you will finally be able to tell your mother that you're eating your vegetables!
8. No Refined Sugar. Since the only sweetener we use is organic honey, your body can digest it slower than it would refined sugar. This means you'll have long sustained energy without a crash.
7. Good source of fiber. Everyone knows fiber is important and aids in proper digestion.
6. Soy free. Research suggests soy consumption might be linked to several health conditions including: bloating, hormonal imbalance, unusual weight gain, and allergies. (Hidden Dangers of Soy by Dianne Gregg.) The problem with soy is that most products you find at the grocery store have some form of this ingredient - you have to know what to look for because it’s hidden in so many ingredients.
5. Handmade. These bars are handmade by happy people in sunny San Diego. We create jobs and support our local community. Besides, robots are kind of scary.
4. High in Omega-3s. Anti-inflammatory omega-3s are an important addition to your daily diet.
3. Gluten free. Whether you've been diagnosed with celiacs or have found that your body doesn't digest gluten very well, we are committed to being gluten-free. We encourage everyone to read more about the ill effects of gluten on your body's digestive system.
2. Refrigerated. Because there are no artificial ingredients or chemical preservatives these bars are stored in the fridge. Yum!
1. They taste amazing. PERIOD. Seriously, you really won't even remember the 9 other reasons once you try a bar. They taste like cookie dough, but are packed with the nutrients your body needs to stay active!
