Raw Revolution Bars aren't new to us and we've mentioned them in several other posts, but I don't know that we've done them justice. We have a lot of love for these bars and today we wanted to really share the love with you guys!
You guys know that we are healthy eaters. We like to eat live, whole foods and we keep to a vegan diet as often as possible. We're not fans of processed foods and we almost always make our own at-home versions of things just to avoid preservatives and control the ingredients that we put into our bodies.
But let's face it, sometimes you need something on-the-go. Most granola bars have a bunch of extra fluff ingredients that don't really do much nutritionally and just provide empty calories. But Raw Rev bars are different. You can count the number of ingredients on your fingers and you actually know what each one is.
Check out the stuff in my favorite flavor, Spirulina & Cashew: Organic Dates, Organic Cashews, Organic Sunflower Seed Kernels, Organic Agave Nectar, Organic Almonds, Organic Spirulina Powder, Organic Sprouted Flax Seed.
LOVE. IT.

And there are tons more flavors that are just as tasty. We've tried Chocolate & Cashew, Chocolate & Coconut, Raspberry & Chocolate and Cashew & Agave (Serial's favorite). They're all delicious and filling.
And there are even more flavors that we plan to sample soon. Especially the Almond Butter Cup and the Cherry Chocolate Chunk - those belong in my belly. You can see their full product line here.

Taste is obviously important, but let's get back to those ingredients. If you're maintaining a vegan or gluten-free lifestyle, you're going to love these bars. Raw Revolution Bars are Vegan and free of Gluten, Wheat, Corn, Soy, Trans-fat, Cholesterol and Refined Sugar. (side note - it makes my insides happy when something is vegan AND soy-free).
The Raw Revolution Bars come in a few different sizes, which is great for those counting calories. The larger bars range from 210-240 per bar (varies by flavor) and the smaller Raw Rev bars are just 100 calories each. When we were on our hike, we carried the 100 calorie bars in our hip belts and snacked on them while we were walking. It was perfect.
These days, we keep a stash in the car and in my purse. Yes, I'm that chick who always has a snack in her purse. But with good reason. Everyone know what "hanger" is? It's when you get so hungry that your anger takes over and you become a crabby hot mess. Yep. It's real people. Let's just say that after a few hiking trips that ended in beastly hanger during the car ride home, we wised up.

So let's review... they taste delicious, they're healthy and they come in two convenient sizes? I'm sold. But just to put a little icing on that cake, they have amazing customer service. When we were planning our hike last year, we wrote to them asking for a few bars to take on the trail with us. They responded immediately and provided us with enough bars for the whole hike and enough to share with friends. We stashed a bunch in Damascus so that when we hiked into town, we were able to hand them out to tons of hikers. It was wonderful.
This year we emailed them again to see if they'd be willing to host a few product giveaways and once again, they were so helpful and positive. So stay tuned, we will be hosting multiple giveaways of Raw Revolution Bars and we can't wait for you all to love them too. In the meantime, you can check out their products on their site. They're also on facebook and twitter, if you want to stop by and say hello!
