Le-Vel Thrive Pro Review: How This Protein Bar Changed My Snacking Habits

October 6, 2018 By lyndsinreallife 1 Comment

Le-Vel Thrive PRO Bar Review

It’s incredibly easy for me to grab whatever snack is around when I’m on-the-go. That usually means something filled with sugar, simple carbs, and junk. Nothing nutritious. When I eat crummy, I feel crummy. I need to have energy throughout the day, especially when it comes to making sure the girl I nanny gets to her activities and gets her schoolwork done. I realized I needed a snack that would give me protein and complex carbs. That’s where Le-Vel THRIVE PRO premium lifestyle nutrition/protein bars come in.

This post is sponsored by Le-Vel. All opinions and verbiage are my own.

Here’s my Le-Vel Thrive PRO Bar Review

Here’s the thing: I have a really hard time making sure I get enough protein. I’ve always been a (simple) carbs kind of gal. I’ve found it’s crucial to carry a protein bar in my purse or gym bag. Lately, I’ve been loving my THRIVE PRO bars.  They contain 20 grams of a proprietary sequential protein, with only 2-3 grams of sugar, and the carbohydrate to protein ratio is perfect for a healthy snack!

THRIVE PRO bars also double as a pre and post-workout snack, providing just the right amount of fuel and recovery. I was struggling to provide my body with the nutrition it needed for my runs, and you wouldn’t believe how much better I felt (and feel)!

Le-Vel THRIVE PRO protein bars are especially popular in my house because they’re gluten free.

THRIVE PRO bars come in 4 flavors: birthday cake (my favorite), lemon meringue, cinnamon roll, and cookies & cream. Le-Vel makes many other products including their 3 Step Thrive Experience.  If you’re interested, check out this review on the Thrive Experience.

I definitely feel like a healthier, happier athlete + person with THRIVE PRO protein bars. Thanks Le-Vel!

Get Your Nom On With AMRAP Nutrition Bars + A Giveaway

September 4, 2014 By lyndsinreallife 4 Comments

Disclosure: As part of my #sweatpink ambassadorship with Fit Approach, I was given the opportunity to try AMRAP Nutrition bars (plus give away one box) for free in exchange for an honest review on my blog. I did not receive any monetary compensation. As always, all opinions are 100% my own.

When I heard that AMRAP Nutrition bars were Paleo, I was all in! I don’t necessarily consider myself Paleo, but I tend to follow it more than any other lifestyle. I had never heard of AMRAP before, but here’s a little bit about them (on their website):

“The AMRAP Team is no one to trifle with. Actually, they are more likely to invite you in their homes and cook you a Paleo meal than intimidate you. Everyone involved in this project brings several talents and skills from a wide array of backgrounds. The people that make your nutritional lives easier are just like you; athletes, parents, health-nuts, adventure addicts, and lovers of quality.”

There are three flavors:

Almond Honey (2) Cashew Vanilla (2) Fig Cacao (2)

Almond & Honey | Cashew & Vanilla | Fig & Cacao (photos courtesy of AMRAP)

I figured they were either going to be hit or miss. And I wasn’t sure how I felt about fig & cacao. But that’ll teach you to never judge a book by its cover, because let me tell you… THEY WERE DELICIOUSLY AMAZING!! I was really sad when they were all gone, and I seriously need to order myself some more. I’m a pretty picky eater, but these were hands-down some of the absolute best bars I’ve ever tried.

The best part?

There are few ingredients, and I can pronounce them all!! Here are the nutrition facts:

Almond Honey Nutritionals FINAL (2) Cashew Vanilla Nutritionals FINAL-2 (2)  Fig Cacao Nutritionals FINAL 2 (2)

In Order: Almond & Honey | Cashew & Vanilla | Fig & Cacao

Ingredients:

  • Almond & Honey: Almonds, Honey, Unsweetened Coconut, Egg-White Protein, Sesame Seeds, Cinnamon, Sea Salt.
  • Cashew & Vanilla: Cashews, Honey, Cashew Butter, Unsweetened Coconut, Egg-White Protein, Vanilla Extract, Sea Salt.
  • Fig & Cacao: Dates, Egg-White Protein, Figs, Almond Butter, Almonds, Unsweetened Coconut, Cacao Nibs, Coconut Oil.

I truly don’t know if I could pick a favorite flavor. If I could only get one, I would probably get the almond & honey. But now as I’m saying that, I am thinking that I want cashew & vanilla. Plus, I need to have some kind of cacao in my house… the struggle is real!

But guess what? You have an opportunity to #RaiseTheBar because I am GIVING AWAY three boxes of AMRAP Nutrition bars!!! So you can try them all for yourself! Enter below through the Rafflecopter widget. Super simple! Three winners will be chosen at random. You will win a box of 8 bars (flavor of your choice)! The box will be sent directly from AMRAP Nutrition. You must live in the United States or Canada to be eligible to win. The giveaway will end Thursday, September 11th! Good luck!!
