Review: Aristo Bar

While Aristo bars are not bad for the price, they could be a bit more exciting to stand out from the crowd. They are not the most nutritional bars, but do offer some good nuts, omega-3 fatty acids, and grains. They are slightly sweet from the cane sugar, brown rice syrup and fruits — and the crunchy crisp rice is a nice addition. The bars are relatively low in calories compared to other bars and low in protein. If you want a healthy snack with extra omega-3 fatty acids, then you might consider this product.

Review: Vitalicious VitaTops & VitaMuffins

I’ve heard about eating sweets and losing weight; but to be honest, I never completely believed it. I know that the concept is to curb your appetite with a filling snack that has very few calories, but I wondered if the concept really works. Now with these VitaTops cookies I think it may be possible. The cookies are very low in calories and after eating one, I felt super satisfied for a couple of hours. It is a smart snack for any occasion, sugar-free and great tasting.

The Vitalicious brand has several vital and delicious choices for healthy, low-calorie snacking…such as VitaMuffins, VitaMix, VitaCake and VitaBrownies. The muffins have plenty of protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals and is a great meal replacement or snack food for kids…and you can even get the mix and bake them yourself, saving plenty. Just be aware that the muffins contain wheat, eggs, gluten and nuts, in case of allergies.

Overall, these are great dieting products that don’t cost too much and offer decent nutrition and appetite control.

NOTE: You can find a discount coupon for VitaTops and VitaMuffins on our Coupons Page.

Review: Prana Bar

The Prana Bar is delicious and healthy, made with organic ingredients and is 77% raw organic foods. Prana Bar is organic, gluten free, vegan and All natural and specializes in enzymes, which help the digestive system absorb food nutrients. Prana will also increase energy from acai powder, which is also a powerful antioxidant with high nutritional potential. The ingredients are quite simple, which is very good in my book. Instead of sugar, this bar has organic agave nectar and organic date paste for sweeteners, which will provide long-lasting energy.

The organic dried coconut is good for cleaning the intestines, removing parasites and cleansing the blood. Organic raisins are a source of boron, a mineral that protects the bones against oesteoporosis. Almonds provide protein, fiber, vitamin E and monounsaturated fats, and are rich in minerals like Iron, Calcium, Phosphorus and Magnesium. Amaranth is a source of lysine and phytosterol, working on inflammation and chronic diseases. With all those amazing nutrients, this bar is highly recommended for your health.
