Tone It Up Protein Bars

About a year ago, I shared a favorite pre-run snack bar called the Quest Beyond Cereal Protein Bar. Unfortunately, my local stores no longer carry this bar, which means I have to order them online. You might say that's not a big deal, right? Well, it is for me when it's the night before a big run and...whoops...I'm out of Quest Cereal bars and forgot to order more.

This might be a true story and it might have happened to me.

In a slight panic, I took to my local Target to remedy the problem. I've eaten Luna bars and Clif bars in the past and knew our Target carried a variety of those flavors.

What I was surprised to see on the shelf was a new protein bar from my favorite Tone It Up Girls! I know you've seen mention of their workouts here in the past as they are my go-to at-home cross training gu-ru's. Well, I obviously HAD to try them out!

These protein bars that were anticipated to be a fill-in until my online order of Quest bars arrived have quickly become my new favorite pre-workout snack! Bonus: I know where I can find these on the shelves vs having to order online!

Over the past few months, I've tried all three flavors and loved them all equally (I don't have a favorite)!

• Peanut Butter Chocolate
• Blueberry Coconut
• Salted Caramel

These bars are light, filling, and deliver the perfect amount of pre-workout energy. They are also light on the calories, ranging between 160-170 calories per bar. Another perk - they are gluten free, non GMO, and plant based!

Was I compensated for this review? No.....nor did I receive free product in exchange for this review. I simply love these bars and wanted to share my new find with others who might benefit from them, too!

If you give them a try, let me know what you think!
