Ladies and Gentlemen!!!
The wonderful people at Perfect Foods sent me a sampler to try out.
Yay! As a peanut butter lover, as well as a healthy food lover, these bars are perfect. In 1995 Dr. Bud Keith and his wife Barbara forumlated a healthy snack for their friends and family by adding whole food supplements to a smooth blend of raw honey and organic peanut butter. I am a huge fan of healthy fats, lots of protein, vitamins, and ingredient lists that I can read. Perfect Foods bars fulfill all of these, and I truly believe they are perfect. Many meal replacement bars leave me hungry soon afterwards. After eating one of these bars, not only am I satiated for a long time, but I feel good about what I have eaten. I know that I have put healthy, whole foods in my body. I have given it carbs, protein, and fat in one tasty bar. Each bar has approximately 283 calories, 15 grams of fat (2 g saturated 13 g polyunsaturated), 3 mg Cholesterol, 95 mg Sodium, 520 mg Potassium, 26 g Carbs, 4 g Figer, 16 g Sugars, and 18 g Protein. The bars have 25% Vitamin A, 100% Vitamin C, 35% Calcium, 40% Iron, 100% Vitamin E, 25% Thiamin, 15% Riboflavin, 20% Niacin, 25% Vitamin B6, 25%Folate, 25% Vitamin B12, 30% Biotin, 20% Pantothenic Acid, 30% Phosphorus, 25% Magnesium, 30% Zinc, 25% Copper, 25% Manganese, and 20% Chromium. WOW!
Now you are probably asking yourself, “What weird things are in these bars?” In the Fruit and Nut bars (which are gluten free!) the ingredients are: Peanut Butter, Raw unheated buddy bee honey, milk protein, eg protein, raisins, walnuts, rice protien, dried whole food powders (sunflower seed, sesame seed, flax seed, rice bran, rose-hip, orange, lemon, grapefruit, tomato, apple, bell pepper, papaya, mango, black cherry, cranberry, fig, alfalfa, celery, spinach, parsley, mink, kelp, dulse), olive oil, sunflower seed oil, sesame seed oil, flax seed oil, pumpkin seed oil, almond oil, and rice bran oil. HOLY AMAZING! Many of these ingredients are organic, also!
The texture of these bars are thick and they crumble deliciously in your mouth. The taste of peanut butter and honey are strong in the Fruit and Nut bar, with a few raisins throughout the bar– so wonderful.
While my day was made by having this amazing on-the-go breakfast (also can be lunch or post-workout snack or ANYTHING!)- I know many of you have not been able to try these delicious and nutricious bars.
…drumroll please…
