The YES Bar Paleo Protein Bars - Healthy Gluten Free, Soy Free, Dairy Free Snack for Meal Replacement (Black Sesame Sea Salt 6 Count)
Nuts, seeds, and fruit bound together with honey, maple syrup and coconut butter. And the recipe that we have today has not changed since the day I made them for my family in our home kitchen. Featured on the TODAY show, Katie Brown’s YAHOO MAKERS series, at Oprah’s OWN health and wellness festival, and PALEO MAGAZINE. Winner of the NCW ECO EXCELLENCE AWARD For BEST SNACK BAR of 2015. Creamy macadamias, pure Vermont maple syrup, sea salt hand harvested in France, single origin organic coffee, artisanal German chocolate, and apricots and strawberries from a family owned farm in California. Black Sesame Sea Salt, Strawberry Coconut, Macadamia Chocolate, and Mocha Cayenne. The YES Bar was born about four years ago in our kitchen in Laurel Canyon, California. My younger son had a lot of food sensitivities at the time, as well as a few health challenges, and I found myself constantly having to say "no" to things he wanted to eat. It made me sad, and I vowed right then and there to whip up a treat so delicious, and so healthy that anytime he asked for one, I would be able to say a resounding YES! I collected all the healthy yummy foods I could find in my kitchen that were all naturally free of gluten, dairy, soy, and corn. I added some honey and maple syrup, some pure vanilla bean powder, some cinnamon, some dried fruits, and coconut butter. You might land right on that tangy apricot, or your mouth might water from that perfect hint of sea salt. Whether it is the recipe itself, or the package design or the website, these were all things that at some point were just an idea in my mind. To see them take shape, and struggle through the creative process as they evolve, and then to ultimately wind up out there in the world as a product anyone can buy, well that is just INCREDIBLE. SAVORY, SOPHISTICATED with toasted sesame, Celtic sea salt, Japanese nori and organic honey.

Best Sports Nutrition Chips & Crisps Snacks

Quest Nutrition Protein Chips, BBQ, 21g Protein, 2g Net Carbs, 130 Cals, 1.2oz Bag, 8 Count, High Protein, Low Carb, Gluten Free, Soy Free, Potato Free
Includes 8 Quest BBQ Protein Chips.
Reviews
"I bought these Quest Nutrition Protein Chips (BBQ, 21g Protein, Baked, 1.2oz Bag, 8 Count) via Subscribe and Save and overall we like them enough to order them again... We ordered the BBQ flavor after reading a ton of reviews and finding this flavor reviewed best. Since the first ingredient is milk-derived, you can imagine these won't exactly taste like your usual chip. If you're like me and likely to savor your food (or when you slow down to your last chip), you may find that the aftertaste turns a bit powdery."
"If, however, chips are a rarity for you and you don't bite into these expecting them to be the chips you are accustomed to eating at lunch a few days a week, you'll probably like them. They also taste pretty good even though the taste is much more subtle than a regular chip--don't expect a super strong flavor. Not only will these be my new go-to for chip cravings, but they will also be something I add to try to sneak in a little more protein."
"Guys these are protein chips NOT greasy junk food,don't expect the same taste."
"These are good for Potato chips that don't contain potatoes."
"The taste of the chip when first placed in the mouth is excellent. However, as it dissolves, the BBQ flavor disappears and the resulting taste is that of an enchilada shell."
"I’ve been eating these protein chips for a few yrs now."
"For those that are watching their eating habits and craving a salty, crunchy snack I'd recommend."
"Received the new and improved version of the Quest Nutrition Protein Chips, Sour Cream variety."

Viva Naturals #1 Best Selling Certified Organic Cacao Powder from Superior Criollo Beans, 1 LB Bag
Antioxidants A study published by the American Heart Association compared the flavonoid content of several different foods, including tea, fruits and vegetables. These prized beans are carefully pressed and ground into a cake-like paste and slowly grinded into a fine, delicate powder at low temperatures releasing the flavorful precursors of luscious chocolate. Viva Naturals Organic Cacao Powder is Non-GMO Project Certified and is sustainably sourced in accordance with fair trade practices. HIGHLY PRIZED CRIOLLO BEANS - Viva Naturals Cacao Powder is derived from prized Criollo cacao beans, revered as the highest quality variations of cacao, lacking traditional bitterness and offering exquisite chocolate taste.
Reviews
"While the powder can be immediately mixed with most things to give them that delicious chocolate flavor, the nibs are often ground (using a coffee grinder, VitaMix, or Blendtec high speed blender or crushed by hand) or used as a decorative, edible topping. The use of cacao is far more expensive than corn, soy and sugar based chemicals and artificial flavors, so commercial brands like Hershey and Mars have changed their recipes. Don't think that you are getting the health benefits of cacao when you buy a commercial chocolate bar or cocoa mix. Rare with over 300 compounds, cacao contains proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and mood-enhancing chemicals that cause the brain to release neurotransmitters. The end result is that cacao not only nourishes the body with necessary nutrients, but it also creates happiness, relaxation and pleasure. For some background, the ORAC scale was created by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to measure the effectiveness of antioxidants to absorb free radicals that cause cell and tissue damage. Numerous animal and microorganism studies show the free radicals accelerate the aging process and shorten lifespan. A unique and relevant bit of information about cacao pertains to the world’s oldest human with confirmed records. Some people may write this off as chance, however with all the science on antioxidants and aging, cacao just may be humanity's greatest longevity food. ORAC scores for the Top 10 Antioxidants Foods (per 100 grams). 1) Raw cocoa powder 95,500. 2) Raw cacao nibs 62,100. 3) Roasted cocoa powder 26,000. 4) Goji berries 25,300. 5) Acai berries 18,500. 6) Dark chocolate 13,120. 7) Milk chocolate 6,740. 8) Prunes 5,770. 9) Raisins 2,830. 10) Blueberries 2,400. 2) Minerals. Minerals are a necessary part of nutrition. Cacao contains many important minerals such as iron, zinc, copper, calcium, magnesium and sulfur. Magnesium improves our metabolism by muscle and tissue to relax, including the veins and arteries. This improves blood flow, circulation and the transport of oxygen and essential nutrients to the organs. A diet high in magnesium helps to improve the body’s overall pH through it's alkaline forming property. There are other important minerals in cacao that help our organs, brain and immune system to function optimally. Phenylethylamine (PEA) is found in cacao and also is naturally created by the adrenal glands when we're excited."
"Comparing the color of the two - see picture- I am leaning towards raw (dutched cocoa powder has a red undertone to it). I don't tend to bake or make sweets, I usually add the powder straight to drinks, so I am not a good judge there. I plan to use the rest of it in smoothies as that is where it seemed to shine, and use my other cocoas in my chocolate milk and coffees. I place this somewhere between "I like it" and "it's OK." Update: Apparently I read everything but their detailed description and answered question on Amazon. It was very good, but that just backs up my original point - this needs to be mixed in with other ingredients to shine. 5 stars are specifically reserved for products that amaze me, are exceptionally high quality, or work perfectly. For items that fail, we are requested to contact the sellers first to resolve the problem as it may be a manufacturing issue."
