ZonePerfect Perfectly Simple Bars Review

A few weeks ago we received samples of ZonePerfect’s Perfectly Simple bars. Protein bars are one of our weaknesses. We “simply” cannot refuse them! There haven’t been many we haven’t liked, unless it’s been the ingredients. We try to read the labels carefully but sometimes we miss things. For this one it’s the soy protein isolate. We know there’s a lot of controversy surrounding soy products, but we are still learning.

ZonePerfect Perfectly Simple Bars Review

There are three kinds of ZonePerfect Perfectly Simple Bars: Toasted Coconut, Peanut Butter Crunch and Cranberry Almond. All three are free of gluten, preservative and artificial coloring.

We really liked all three bars. They were tasty and we liked them. The only complaint we have is there wasn’t enough of them!

Bellybars from Nutrabella – Especially for Expectant Mamas

This review is done in cooperation with The Healthy Moms Review Team that I am a part of. I did receive free products, but that in no way affects my review.

BellyBars

NutraBella Bellybars

All I have to say is yummy, yummy, yummy! I tried the Mellow Oat first which is oat graham and yogurt covering half of the bar. I love yogurt and oatmeal. With my iron still low these Belly Bars have 18 mg iron, plus 800mg of Folic Acid and 8 g of Protein.

I also received a Due for Chocolate milkshake. So for all of us chocolate lovers that is a definite bonus! It was very good, made with real milk without any growth hormones.

The bars and shakes are fortified with all the supplemental nutrients required in a normal pregnancy. The more notable nutrients we expectant mamas need the Bellybar has: 800 mg Folic Acid, 8 g Protein and 18 mg of Iron – something I need mroe of! While Bellybar products are made with no GMOs or growth hormones, they are not certified organic, even though they are labeled “All Natural” because ingredients like brown rice syrup, cane juice etc. No high fructose corn syrup and the like.

I actually think it’s ingenious for Nutrabella to cater to expectant mamas. I love bars like this, so even if they are not certified organic I plan to check to see if our local Walgreens carries them. I find bars high in protein give me an extra boost throughout the day.
