Healthy Energy/Meal Bars

In today’s fast-paced world, it can be common to miss a meal every day. Or at least miss one every couple days. I myself can never wake up with enough time for breakfast during the work week. Although the perfect breakfast would be made up of things like several organic fruits, organic orange juice, and perhaps some cage-free organic eggs and organic cereal, luckily there are some alternatives out there for those of us on the go that don’t have time to put together such a meal before heading out for the day. They come in the form of meal (or sometimes“energy”) bars. This has been a fast growing field with immeasurable countless options available, most of which are not nearly as healthy and beneficial as they claim. A lot of these bars are probably more harmful if anything. So I just wanted to make this quick post to share with you some of the ones I’ve found to be more on the healthy and beneficial side:

Organic food bar – http://www.organicfoodbar.com/
Easily the best and healthiest one in my opinion. And my personal favorite.

ProBar – http://theprobar.com/
Very healthy, and the best tasting brand in my opinion.

Pure Bar – http://thepurebar.com/
Another really good one. Just be sure to get the flavors that are certified organic, as some of them aren’t.

Raw Revolution – http://rawrev.com/

Most of the products that come from those companies are organic, vegan, gluten free, and made with raw ingredients. I’m sure there are other healthy and beneficial meal bar companies out there, but these are the ones in my personal top-choice list. When looking at other brands to consider, make sure that they’re organic (the most important thing), not too high in calories, and perhaps certified as vegan, gluten free, and using raw ingredients.
Beware of the brands that label themselves as “All-Natural” and that don’t have any kind of organic certification. These will contain GMO’s and other harmful ingredients, and will overall be more harmful than beneficial.
