Back in December, Kylan from Rise Bar gave me an opportunity to try their products. I was particularly intrigued because I had never heard of Rise Bars before, so I thought I would take up their generous offer and try them out!
Rise Bars are seriously one of the best line of bars I have tried in quite some time. They are all gluten free, non- GMO, and some are vegan as well.
There are three types of bars – Breakfast, Energy+, and Protein+. If I had to pick a favorite, I honestly couldn’t! Even though each type of bar is different, they all have a great taste and texture.
The Breakfast bars are the most textured, a mixture of nuts, fruits, and healthy grains like amaranth and crisp rice. My favorite of the four was the Perfect Pumpkin – that flavor had a TON of pumpkin seeds! The Energy+ Bars are a little chewier than the Breakfast bars, but they still have a ton of texture like the breakfast bars. Both the breakfast and energy bars are low on the protein side, but the protein+ bars make up for it!
This line of bars can be found at Whole Foods and REI stores. I’m pretty pumped they’re easily accessible because I neeeeeed more!
The folks at Rise Bar have offered to giveaway a box of two of their protein bars – Lemon Cashew (soooo yummy!) and Sunflower Cinnamon (equally as good!)
If you would like to participate in this giveaway, please comment below. For an extra entry, tweet about this giveaway and comment that you did so. I will announce a winner on Monday morning!
