Healthy Snack: Raw Revolution Bars

Wendy — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 12:13:31 +0000

I firmly believe we should be able to read food labels and know what the ingredients are. They should be simple things we eat every day. It’s always a bad sign when you read a label and there’s a laundry list of ingredients, half of which you’ve never heard of before. Not good.

When I stumbled upon Raw Revolution bars recently, I was immediately intrigued. They contain a handful of all natural ingredients and they’re kosher, dairy-free, gluten-free, completely raw and use only natural sweeteners.

To me, the best snack is something that’s not processed at all – raw fruit or veggies – but when you get a snack attack and don’t have access to something that fresh, a healthy snack like this sure beats the heck out of a Snickers bar or other unhealthy snack you may reach for.
You can find them at most health food stores, even big box grocery stores (that’s where I discovered them — at Stop and Shop). They’re a bit pricey but worth it.

What’s your favorite packaged, healthy snack?
