I am Lazy

I have become quite lazy when it comes to creating and making my own snack/energy bars.  I remember when I first started this blog, I would recreate all kinds of tempting treats with real ingredients.  I especially liked my take on Averie’s raw energy bars.

Now I lazy.

You would think since I am off for summer vacation, I would actually start using my time to do some of this.  But no……..I must confess I have not.

So I am glad people send me wonderful wholesome treats in the mail :)

A few weeks back, I blogged about these wonderful, real, as close to homemade as possible bars called Jump Starters. Well the wonderful company noticed this and sent me a thank you package!

No really I should be thanking them.  Bill and I both love their bars.  I really feel like I am eating something I would make from scratch.  Plus the calories for each bar are around 150-yay!

Super cute shirt I will definitely be sporting:

Anyway, check out their website and tell me via a comment what flavor you think you would like to try.  I will send one lucky winner some bars of their very own!

Right now my fav is the apricot.

Hope you have a great Friday!

The giveaway ends Monday morning so share the love :) (You can tweet it)

Thanks Jumpstarter!

And thank you my readers.  Have a great weekend!

    Bummer. They all look good, but unless those oats are gluten-free, I couldn’t eat any of them. Bah. Tell them to make a gluten-free flavor!

    I always thought that over the summer I would cook more, but i’ve been so busy that quick meals/bars are just easier.
