If you read here often, you know I keep a pretty hectic schedule. 2 kids, yes. But also a full time job, plus my fun time, jewelry-making, crafting, working to spruce up our new home (I’ll keep calling it new until we unpack all the boxes, haha) and writing. There are just too many things in life I enjoy! While we have definitely made strides toward healthier eating this year, there are plenty of times that’s easier said than done. Like I’m not even lying when I say that lunch has consisted of a soda and a handful of crackers before.
*one moment while I hang my head in shame*
But seriously, it’s hard to eat right some days. So when I find something like OneBar that’s a full fruit serving and perfectly portable, it’s awesome. Because I have tried bringing fruit along. If the soda and crackers weren’t enough, let me tell you another gem of a story.
I was on a mission a few weeks back to bring healthy snacks with me to work, and so I packed a banana in the morning. Or so I thought. When I got hungry, I checked my purse, and no banana. Boo. So I had to settle for a cookie from the break room, which was a bummer but hey, what can you do?
Oh but wait, that’s not the story.
Three days later, I was definitely smelling banana. I looked and looked. And no freaking banana. I finally emptied my entire purse, and discovered at the bottom a black and smushy banana, getting banana slime all up in the seams of my new handbag. It took me nearly an hour before I was satisfied that I had hand-washed it out of the liner. Seriously, who LOSES a banana in her bag? Me, apparently – I can’t even blame this on being a mom.
But the point I’m getting to is that, this is a much more exciting option for me.
No fruit slime involved.
It’s gluten-free, which is a big deal in our household with Kevin’s allergy, it doesn’t have added sugar, and it’s also nut-free in case that’s an issue for your family. It’s got added chicory for fiber, and baobob which is an antioxidant-rich superfruit. There’s actually a lot of really cool things about the baobob tree that you can read about on the OneBar website (like the fact that the trees are endangered and fair-trade sourcing protects them), and the OneBar is a full serving of fruit.
Because they are so perfectly portable, OneBar would love to see the places you take yours! Share your photos on Instagram with them by tagging @theonebar.
Now I can give you all this info about OneBar, but none of that lets you taste it for yourself. (Because let’s be honest, taste is the biggest factor, isn’t it?) I thought they were awesome (my favorite is the cherry; Kevin loved the apple bar). They are chewy and naturally sweet, so it tastes like a treat! But because I can’t properly convey taste to you – OneBar is sponsoring a giveaway for three boxes free (one mango, one cherry, and one apple) to each of forty winners!

I’d take it with me when we go to the beach or playground. They sound great.
I would take them to work. During the work week I hardly eat anything and this would be perfect.
To the park!
I would take these to work for a healthier snack!
I would totally take these to work to eat while my coworkers are all eating chips and candy bars!
I’d bring them with me on road trips–way better than anything I can find in a gas station!
I would take OneBars to work with me for a snack.
I bring my bar probably in the car on a road trip.
I don’t know where i would take mine…maybe to my son’s many therapies
I’m thinking work… softball games… on the road… yum!
I would take it on our summer bike rides.
i would take them in my lunch box to work
I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the product they look so fresh and full of fruit. I would fill my desk, purse, backpack….
I would take these everywhere – work, mall, you name it.
I’d keep a stash in my purse for those moments when I’m out and about and decide to grab a candy bar. Instead I could have fruit!
I would take them shopping with me,then when I feel a little hungry, I won’t be as tempted to eat something not quite as healthy! : )
I’d take them with me on my way to work.
I would take it on a hike
These sound yummy and i would love to win. Some times I would love to have just fruit and this would fit for me.
They make special plastic banana holders now. I think I saw them at Walmart last summer. Had the same thing happen to a lunch box when my kid had it in warm weather in their locker. What a mess.
Really?? I totally need that!! Although in this case, losing it for 3 days probably had more to do with it than the getting squished. :P
I would take this to Maymont Park on walks with me. Thank you for this chance to win.
I would take them when I’m running errands for a quick pick me up. Thanks
These sound perfect! I’m diabetic and a nanny, I can’t tell you how difficult it is to be sure I remember to bring snacks for myself, never mind something healthy ;)
I would take my One bar to work!
Hi! I would take them to the beach and the pool. What a great snack to have while swimming. Thank-you!
I would take mine to class and on the go for my boys (:
Super convenient in the diaper bag! Just because I’m a stay at home mom doesn’t mean we stay at home :)
These look really good – I’d take onebars with me in the car to eat on the go.
Oh my goodness, that banana story is so funny but that’s probably because that has happened to me before!
These look tasty, and sound like they’d be great for having my son take to class for snacktime :)
I would take it to a craft shows or street festival so I can keep shopping and celebrating!
Ops…Needed to change my email on the last one.
I would eat one during a break while painting this summer. :) Loved your banana story…too funny! :)
I would take them to work.
These look great for the office.
I’d take them on the plane on vacation! These look yummy!
