A Nutrition Bar Made to Order

So a couple of weeks ago I was surfing the internet, when I came across a  company where you can actually create your own nutritional bar. Yes you heard that right.  The company name is You Bar.  These bars can be costumed made to fit your taste, nutritional and allergy needs.  As you are creating your nutritional bar you can see the nutritional facts, which is so important to me.

I decided to try them out.   The idea of nutritional bars have been appealing to me, especially those that are higher in protein As a vegetarian I am always looking for alternative source of protein. In th past i have found many high protein bars are either high in calories and/or have "yucky"  additives.  With  You Bars you pick out  the ingredients and the protein you want in your bar.

The process is easy. You start with the base, which can either be a butter and/or a date source, but you need to a base.  Than you start to add the other ingredients. The categories are as follows protein,nuts and berries, sweetener, seasoning, cereal, and an infusion ( green blend, vitamin, omega 3, or fiber).  You can add , in most cases, one ingredient from each category or decline that particular category. The choice and creativity is up to you. 

There is a 100% satisfaction garuntee from the company. If you do not like the bar for any reason you can send it back and they will reformulate the bar free of charge.

Here is the nutritional information and ingredients for my costumized bar, and boy was it yummy. 



There are some downsides to these bars, one being the price is 38.87 for 13 bars or 19.99 for 6 bars. Also the time it takes to receive your bars is a little longer than I expected it to be. It takes over two weeks to receive your order.
