#CraveFreely Without the Guilt With Balance Bar

I participated in this sponsored post for Balance and the Mom It Forward Blogger Network.

Women have been told a lot of things concerning our appearance over the course of history. From hair, to make-up, to our body shape the 'advice' doesn't seem to end and it ranges from the helpful to the deranged. When it comes to the topic of our bodies the advice becomes overwhelming. From extreme juice fasts, kale cleanses or dogmatic dieting rules it seems we're just one magic solution away from shedding the 5-10 lbs were forever trying to lose. But it's a lie. Do these magic solutions work for a time? Sometimes, for some. Are they the solution to living a healthy and balanced lifestyle? Not on your life. It’s also not overindulging in decadent treats that offer little nutritive value when our willpower runs out. In fact, these solutions often set us up for failure. I mean who can live on juice?! It's a beverage, not a meal.

It’s about indulging in the foods we crave in a balanced way. It’s eating Almond Brownie while also getting Fiber and Vitamins. It’s about treating our minds, cravings and bodies with equal respect. It's about working out because it makes us feel good. It's about making healthy choices as often as possible but not being afraid to indulge.

Balance bars are a nutritional snack option with the perfect balance of great taste and energizing ingredients. Balance helps you snack smarter and indulge in a way you can feel good about with 190 calories or less, 5-7 grams of protein and 5-6 grams of fiber. Balance just came out with new packaging that features the original flavors in full-size bars and new flavors in two mini bars. The four delicious NEW flavors, including Chocolate Caramel Peanut Nougat, Chocolate Peppermint Patty, Dark Chocolate Pecan Turtle and Dulce De Leche & Caramel.

The mini bars are perfect for throwing in your purse or travel bag for mindful snacking when you're on the go. If you're like me it's the minute I"m stuck in traffic or just seated on the plane that I start feeling a little snacky. Balance is a snack that we can all crave-freely, with the sweetness we want and nutrition our bodies need.
