She Says: Element Bars Giveaway
Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. Yesterday was completely perfect and I will be back with some highlights soon, but first I wanted to tell you about a delicious giveaway!!!!!!
Have you ever been eating a bar and thought, “I could do better than this?” We all think we could make the best bar, and now you can!!!!
I recently received some samples from Element Bars, a company that allows you to build your own bar with whatever ingredients you want!
allows you to build your own energy bar out of high quality ingredients. In fact, Element Bars have a strict policy about ingredients:
You get to choose your base – chewy, oaty, crispy or datey; various fruits, nuts and seeds; sweeteners such as agave and brown rice syrup; and extras like whey or soy protein, omega 3s and extra fiber. You can even take a “quiz” and have a bar recommended to you based on your answers and search for ingredients based on health and food . As you build your bar, the nutrition information is calculated for you. Or, if you are not feeling creative, there is a list of popular bars to choose from.
Element Bars sent me a Dr. Clyde Cherry Chcolate Bar and Dr. Clyde Berry Bar.
First, I tried the Dr. Clyde Berry Bar, which was awesome! It tasted delicious and wholesome! It was the “chewy” base, so it was soft and had giant berry and nut chunks in it! I loved the texture and how it wasn’t sickengly sweet. I also like how most of the ingredients are organic.
Next, I tried the Dr. Clyde Cherry Bar.
This bar also started with the delicious chewy base and contained large cherries and pieces of walnuts and soy nuts. I loved how the tart cherries contrasted with the soft and sweet chocolate chips! These bars are 2 oz. and about 5 inches long and 3 inches wide.

out of curiosity, what’s the calorie content of the samples you received/how do they size up to larabars? at 277 calories for my element bar, it seemed pretty high considering larabars are only 200…are the bars bigger?
May 26th, 2009 at 9:13 am
