TOday Rudy reminded me that I have a review and a giveaway to do! Back in December the kind folks at Divine Foods send me 3 boxes of their Prana Bars and Boomi Bars. Since I had recently been told I should follow a gluten-free diet, I was excited to try these gluten-free bars made of various nuts, seeds, and fruit.
I was floored by how generous they were in sending me so many samples and decided I would give one box away. I tucked that box away and promptly forgot about it! That is until this morning when Rudy started playing in some of the cardboard boxes that had accumulated in the guest room.
Before going on…let me just say: There is never any need to spend money on pricey toys for a cat. Jack and Rudy have every toy under the sun and their favorite things are still paper bags and cardboard boxes.
I digress…. Rudy uncovered the box of Boomi Bars I had tucked away and I decided today was the day to give you my review and to giveaway a box of these bars.
When I started a gluten-free diet I was so sad to give up my favorite cookie dough Balance Bars and so many of my favorite Cliff Bars. But these bars eased the transition for me! I love these bars! I have said before that I don’t like nuts. I love nut butters, but I don’t like nuts. That means that gluten-free bars, many of which are heavy on the nuts, have taken some getting used to. These bars, however, crush the nuts so finely that I don’t notice that I am crunching nuts. They are very soft and have a melt-in-you-mouth consistency. The Prana Bars are my favorite and are much softer, but the Boomi Bars are also good. Both tout impressive nutritional stats. They range from 180-230 calories, have around 5 grams of fiber and 5 grams of protein. And because of the nuts, these bars have staying power in terms of hunger.
Now I have a box of 8 Boomi Bars to giveaway to you! Inside are a variety of Boomi Bars, as well as a 4 of the Prana Bars. You can taste both and let me know which you prefer!
I find I skip over a lot of giveaways because I am trying to read so many blogs and each giveaway has so many steps. I just don’t take the time to leave a comment, then go follow the person on twitter (come back and leave a comment), then add them to my blogroll (then come back to leave a comment), and on and on and on…. I just don’t take the time. So I’ll make this really simple. If you’d like to win this box of 12 bars, just leave a comment. Say hi! Maybe come back again and visit again! 🙂 But I’ll leave it at that. Leave a comment and you’re entered to win!

Tomorrow is another big day for us. We have the inspection of our new house! My mom is going to drive up to see it which I am excited about. And I hope to take some pictures so I can show you where we’ll be living!
Thank you all for your kind comments about my belly pictures! It is amazing to see these changes in me, and it is such fun to share it with you! 🙂
