#CRAVEFREELY with Balance Bar

This is a sponsored post for Balance and the Mom It Forward Blogger Network.

With school starting back almost everyone is adjusting their schedules.  Their lives.  What will soon be their new normal.  We’re adding homeschool to our lives this year along with piano lessons for my daughter and a homeschool community meet up once a week.  Plus, we’re almost finished remodeling our kitchen.  I can’t wait till I can say that it’s finished!  Life has been a whirlwind lately.  We have something to do nearly everyday and it’s a constant struggle to balance everything.  To balance priorities, balance housework verses fun, and balance take out to home cooked meals.  Okay, the home cooked meals to take out has been terribly off balance lately but I’m hopeful that with our new shiny kitchen sink installed that we can help fix that.  In the mean time, one indulgent treat has helped me keep my protein up without overdoing when I get snacky.

Like most people, women especially, I go through snacking phases.  Binges maybe.  Instead of stuffing myself with greasy chips or chewing celery till my jaw hurts I usually go for the sugary treats.  Ice cream, donuts, cookies, sigh.  It’s not good.  Without overloading my body in a deluge of sugar I can partake in a chocolatey, protein filled snack.

That snack?

Balance bars!  They are a nutritional snack bar that is a great balance of yumminess and energizing ingredients.  They’re perfect to help me feel full without feeling guilty.  I don’t have to be afraid to indulge with around 190 calories, 5-7 grams of protein, and 5-6 grams of fiber.  Balance has four delicious new flavors including Chocolate Peppermint Patty, Dark Chocolate Pecan Turtle, Dulce De Leche & Caramel, and my favorite Chocolate Caramel Peanut Nougat.  Balance just released this new colorful packaging that features the original flavors in full-size bars and new flavors in two mini bars.  Balance bars allow me to snack smarter…in a balanced way if you will.
