I am always on the look out for new healthy snack ideas and products for my family.  I was recently introduced to the company Health Warrior and their Chia Bars.  Health Warrior believes that healthy food can be delicious and convenient so they created the Health Warrior Chia Bars.  Their Chia Bars are soy free, dairy free, gluten free, and 100% vegan.

There have been many benefits found with Chia, as it is one of the greatest nutrient dense food on Earth.  The Tarahumara Indians, as well as the Aztecs, were known for their abilities during long distance runs that were powered with Chia which later resulted in the nickname “Runner’s Food”.  The superfood, Chia, has Omega 3’s, which is critical for brain function.  It also contains Plant Based Protein so the body can easily digest it, has a full amino acid profile, and helps build stronger bones.  Not only that, it is rich in fiber which is a critical ingredient for a plethora of health problems: improving weight loss, decreasing heart disease, decreasing bad cholesterol, lowering blood sugar levels, and reducing the risk of diabetes among other things.  Chia also contains magnesium which is a big factor in helping our bodies absorb calcium.

I was sent an assortment of Health Warrior’s Chia Bars in Coconut, Apple Cinnamon, Chocolate Peanut Butter, Coffee, Banana Nut, and Acai Berry flavors.   Each Chia Bar contains only 100 calories (the coconut has 110) and 1,000 MG omega-3, 4 grams of fiber, 4 grams of plant based protein, and only 5 grams of sugar.

The bars have a slightly sweet smell to them that I found pleasant.  I was able to convince everyone in the family to give these a try except our 8 year old daughter.  My husband and our 1 year old liked them the most although none of us cared for the coffee flavor, the other flavors were all pretty good.  I will definitely be grabbing these when I don’t have time to eat breakfast.  I’ve never been able to handle very sweet foods in the morning and get sick from them if I try, so the Health Warrior Chia Bars will make the perfect supplement for me.

I’m a city girl turned country by my awesome husband and we have three busy boys and two darling daughters.
