Earnest Eats Review & Giveaway

~~~THIS GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED~~~

Who can't love a granola bar? Seriously you can put anything into a granola bar you want and it makes it a convenient, super healthy, well balanced carb/protein, easy snack for on the go. We eat a lot of granola bars in our house. We like them sweet, salty, spicy, we just love them!

About Earnest Eats!

Information from website. 

Mainly, they're good common sense. At Earnest Eats, we are inspired by the flavorful simplicity of whole grains, hearty nuts and seeds, and the natural sweetness of fruit—they are the real stars here and we let them shine in everything we do. Our snacks are minimally processed, free of preservatives and artificial ingredients, made in small batches and baked in real baking trays! We use only premium, all-natural, whole food ingredients to give you an anytime snack you can feel good about.

We source ingredients from around the world to create deliciously unexpected combinations that taste amazing and are good for you too.

We believe in the nutritional benefits of whole foods. Instead of spray on vitamins or protein powders, we use only natural, whole food ingredients that aren't messed with in any way.

We are here to prove that convenient snacks can be healthy too—all that's required is a little ingenuity.

We are committed to using responsibly farmed ingredients. We want to do our part for the sake of both your health and the planet's.

We make all our products in small batches using only high quality ingredients to ensure that Earnest Eats taste and smell just like homemade.

Our Earnest Eats Experience!

We were sent a variety of Earnest Eats granola bars and planks to review. I make our own granola bars all the time, but after a while they get kind of boring because I usually make them with the same ingredients. Still, we eat them practically everyday. Ethan usually gets one for an afternoon snack and I usually eat one before a run and when I need a balanced snack. It was a real treat to try out the Earnest Eats products because we were ready for some new flavors! The first flavor of granola bar I tried out was the Choco Peanut Butter. Anything that has chocolate in it I have to try out first. Wow, this one was really good and it ended up being my favorite flavor which is probably because of the chocolate in it ;-) I did eat that one all by myself, but all the others I shared with Ethan. The Cran Lemon Zest and the Apple Ginger were a little spicier but also super yummy. We also got to try out the Maple Almond Crunch Plank. The planks are huge! Really you can easily half it in two or thirds. I had to be careful with the planks because they had whole pieces of nuts and I didn't want Ethan to choke on them. We really enjoyed all the flavors of the Earnest Eats products. The quality of these bars were amazing and I have to admit they tasted much better than my homemade granola bars ;-)
