The Granilla Bar

 

Lately, there has been lots and lots of snacking involved around our house. The kids and I can tear up a bowl of fruit or guac and pretzels in a heartbeat! I wanted to find a sweet treat that we can enjoy when we get a craving or if we are out and about and need something that’s not so messy. This is where the Granilla Bar comes in, they make all-natural, preservative free Paleo bars in delicious flavors. “The orginal Granilla bars are a mix of shredded coconut, a blend of seeds, almonds & pecans with some dark chocolate chunks or a combination of dried fruits depending on what you’re in the mood for.  Might I add that our Cherry Maple bar is 100% Vegan and the Dark Chocolate Honey bar contains a 75% dark chocolate that was created just for TheGranillaBar!” Ummmm yes please! Those are all of our favorite things wrapped up in a neat little bar for us to enjoy when we please.

The Granilla Bar brand was started by a mom (you know that Mom owned businesses are my weakness!) that was searching for a healthy snack for her kids. Her seven year old daughter, Kora, got the ball rolling when one afternoon, they were munching on her Paleo “granola” and Kora jumps up out of her seat and blurts out, “Mom, why don’t you sell your “granilla” to stores? ‘Cause if you did EVERYONE would buy it…” From there, a business was born and we are so thankful for that idea from her sweet little one!

I personally love the honey and dark chocolate the best so I hide them from the kids because if I let them they would inhale them in one sitting, haha! Their favorites are the sunbutter brownies, they taste JUST like a made from scratch brownie and help fix their sweet tooth craving with one bar! I also like to take the Granilla Bars and crumble them over cereal and oatmeal to add extra layers of flavor to our food. We enjoy these so much that I always keep one or two in my purse for when they get the urge to snack and there is a big bowl filled with them in our kitchen! I really enjoy knowing that the ingredients that go into them were chosen by a Mom who cares about our health and the health our of children all the while understanding the needed sweet tooth’s we all get from time to time. Head over to the Granilla Bar website and check out what they have to offer! I would love to hear your favorite flavors once you try them for yourself.
