The hubs finally got back late Sunday after a great race in G-town and now he's enjoying a recovery week while I am
Anyway, Saturday was ALSO a great day because I got some goodies in the mail.
Kardea Nutrition sent a sample of their bars. I was so anxious to try them! I've been seeing them at Whole Foods and other Health Food stores around Austin. Here are the stats on the bars.

Pretty good to me! Now the question is.........how do they taste? Well, I first ripped open the the lemon/ginger (because I love that flavor combo) and took a bite. It was scrumptious! So scrumptious that I wanted to treat it as a luxurious topping to my yogurt mess. Plain Greek yogurt/cottage cheese mixture with lemon ginger kardea bar crumbled on top. GENIUS! This gave my mess such good flavor and added lots of fiber and extra protein.
My husband tried the Cherry almond and his exact
I think a lot of people in the food/blogger world have probably tried these and loved them. They are great for post workout snacks, etc. Try 'em! Let me know your favorite flava!

Can Sadie Mae get any cuter!? Guess that walk in the sun on the trail tired her out!
We are total opposites! LOL. I loved the chai and the banana the best! The texture was awesome too.. kind of like laffy taffy!
I've tried these too I think the cranberry almond and banana walnut were my favorites! I loved that the texture was that of oatmeal cookie dough...because I always snag some before it goes into the oven :)
Loved Nora's comment about the cookie dough (the question is how much dough do we eat before baking those cookies)! The texture is great on these bars; I find the combination of the chewiness and the crunch way more satisfying than other bars I've tried (plus, I love the nutrition and low calories!).
Ahh labs are so silly! Daisy lays like that all the time :)
I'd say the stats look pretty darn good on those bars.
I just got home from Whole Paycheck and missed those bars! I got the Pro-Bars this time. Also, I got some coconut oil but do i just cook with it? ie lower/medium heat as i would use olive or canola oil?
clueless!
I think hubby was at the race i was just at in Texas. The pro's had quite a turn out, hope he had a good one.
Thanks!
hahaha that photo of your pup is adorable. i love it. i have never heard of those bars~ i am always on the lookout, so thanks for the review!
That picture of miss sadie mae is ADORABLE!
Ya, he was at the Galveston 70.3 (Lonestar). finished 10th. It was a pro championships! You can use coconut oil for cooking, baking, etc. I use it a lot for baking and stir frys. Its yummy!
