I love just summertime; the sun, swimming, spending time outdoors with family and friends! Which is exactly what I did last week with a group of my friends when I hosted this Taste of Nature Poolside Tasting Party. We snacked on some delicious Taste of Nature bars, chatted about all sorts of fun stuff and enjoyed a little swim in the warm summer sun.
I am so blessed to live here in Florida, which means that my family and I get the opportunity to spend most of the year outside; having fun and enjoying the beauty around us. We try to find a couple of days every week to get out of the house and go explore and play. You probably already know all about my love of baking, especially desserts, but when we’re on the go I like to bring along healthy food options to keep us fueled and not slow us down from having a good time.
We’ll use just about any excuse to go swimming or meet up with some friends at the park. Summer is always a super busy time of the year for us!
Taste of Nature believes Real Tastes Good and that is what is so great about these bars, they are the perfect grab and go snack. I’ll admit, sometimes its hard to find healthy snacks I actually want to eat! I’m not alone either, because nine out of ten (that’s 85%) of all “snackers” admit they find healthy snacking to be difficult. And half of those people say that healthy snacking is so difficult because it is hard to find a healthy snack that tastes good. Taste of Nature bars are certified organic, gluten-free certified, non-gmo project verified snack bars with real, nuts, fruits and grains that you can see right through the package. Plus they are under 200 calories, so it’s a win, win in my book!
You are going to love that there is nothing artificial about these bars either; no fillers and no chemicals – what you see is what you get! For more information, visit tasteofnature.ca. There are six amazing flavors sold here in the U.S. including: Brazilian Nut Festival, California Almond Valley, Quebec Cranberry Carnival, Canadian Maple Forest, Himalayan Goji Summit and Persian Pomegranate Garden.
My friends and I all really enjoyed trying each of the flavors, the California Almond Valley was a big hit among my friends and my personal favorite is the Canadian Maple Forest. I am a huge fan of anything with apricots, so I was pretty excited that I can restock my supply at Nutrition Smart. They retail for $1.99 and are sold in fine natural food stores as well as several grocery stores. Don’t live in Florida? No problem, you can also find a store near you that carries them.
You can learn more about Taste of Nature on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and Twitter. So next time you’re planning a day of fun, whether by the pool or on the go, grab one of theses delicious Taste of Nature bars to fuel you – I hope you’ll enjoy them as much as we do! #RealTastesGood #CleverGirls
