Hello hello, friends!
Wow, has this week been a doozy or what. And doozy is a cute name for it. My stress levels have been through the roof and I’ve been surviving on 4-5 good hours of sleep a night. But I’m almost done! Just a stats quiz on Friday and my hell week will be over. Hooray! I bring this up because a.) I’m a complainer and need to vent and b.) I have a fun giveaway for a product that helped me get through my midterms!
Reintroducing the Kind bars I’ve been loving lately!
They’ve been a godsend in terms of convenience and helping me get in the nutrition to fuel me through my week. When I’m stressed, I tend to lose a significant amount of weight by forgetting to eat from being to busy and because food makes me nauseous. It’s weird, I know, since most people stress eat, but I work the opposite way and my appetite is completely shot. Regardless, it’s definitely no bueno and I find it hard to keep up my energy levels. That’s why these bars are perfect for me! Not only are the absolutely delicious (the Dark Chocolate Sea Salt is one of the new loves of my life [emoji black heart suit], sorry Kyle), but they’re made from all natural ingredients that you can actually pronounce. Seriously, I look at the nutrition label and know every single ingredient and have a good number of them in my kitchen cupboards myself!
And guess what! It’s your lucky day because the lovely people at Kind are sponsoring a giveaway for a box of my favorite Dark Chocolate Nuts and Sea Salt and two boxes of their newer Kind Healthy Grains bars! That’s a total of 22 bars that taste fantastic and make the perfect grab-and-go snack!
I was sent the Healthy Indulgence Cube which not only has the coolest box design ever, but allowed me to sample eight different fantastic flavors. Out of the eight, there wasn’t a single bar that I didn’t love and I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is looking for a snack that is all natural non GMO, gluten free, low glycemic, high in protein and fiber, and low in sodium! Whew, that’s a lot of good packed into one delicious package! Here’s my thoughts on my top three flavors:
Dark Chocolate Nuts and Sea Salt
Okay, okay. I know this is the third time I’m bringing them up in this post, but I can’t help it. These are just downright amazing and have the perfect sweet and salty blend of flavors that make them one of my favorite bars of all time! This bar contains three different types of nuts and is gloriously drizzled with lots of dark chocolate. What more could you want?
Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate
Continuing with the dark chocolate trend, this flavor comes in at a close second. You can’t really go wrong with the classic pairing of PB and chocolate, so I knew it was going to be a winner the second I saw it!
Blueberry Pecan
I love this bar as a refreshing change from my dark chocolate obsession! It’s perfectly sweetened and reminiscent of blueberry pie.
So here’s the part you’ve all been waiting for- the giveaway! Anyone can enter (you don’t have to be a fellow blogger) and the giveaway will last for a week! Trust me, you don’t want to miss out on these!
Ready? GO!
Amy @ Long Drive Journey says
I stop eating when I get stressed too, so I completely understand! Good luck with the rest of your week! You will kill that last final! I am allergic to peanuts, so I’ve never been able to do the Kind bar thing, but this is a great giveaway and I’m sure nut lovers will go nuts about it ( ha ha). xo
Christine Skari says
Thanks, Amy! Bummer about the peanut allergy, and yes, hoping people do go nuts over it 😉 (literally LOL’d at that haha!)
Allison says
The dark chocolate and sea salt combination is my favorite!

I’d like to win a Kind care package because I’m a college student on a tight budget who’s trying to eat healthy!
Christine Skari says
I’m definitely on the same page as you on the eating healthy on a budget! It’s a challenge trying to eat well when you’re surrounded by all this not-so-healthy college food. Glad to see I have some fellow college readers :D.

Christine Skari says
These would definitely be great if you’re trying to lose weight! Full of protein and fiber and just all-around yummy :). You’re going to look gorgeous at the wedding you’re going to! Can’t wait to see some pics of you all prettied up!

Kaylin @ Enticing Healthy Eating says
Hang in there with the “hell week” and school! I understand what you mean as I just graduated this past December from college and the previous Spring semester was definitely a rough one for me…so. dang. hard. But it’ll be over before you know it. My advice, treasure every moment–even the tough ones. Because once college is over, you’ll miss it! Haha. I’d love to win the KIND bars because I’ve never tried them.

Ann-Marie says
The box looks so cool! Dark chocolate and sea salt is my fave too
Ksenija @ With An Open Mind says
I am more of a stress eater, but it really depends. If I am running from one class to another, then I might forget, but when I am sitting at home studying for exams, I will it the kitchen for snacks all the time. Anyway it comes to the same: I like to keep healthy snacks around to avoid forgetting to eat or stuffing my face with food that makes me sick. The kind bars sound amazing for that purpose and I am happy that the giveaway is free for everyone !
Shelby says
Kind bars are the best! They are so good and I would love to win these treats!

Jordan @ The Blonde Vegan says
Christine! Well, we must be twins are something because every time I read your posts I find more similarities between us. A) I lose my appetite when I am stressed out too… no bueno, and definitely makes it hard to stay focused when you need to! B) Dark chocolate sea salt with nuts is my favorite flavor of everything, especially Kind bars!! C) I am a vent-a-holic when I’m stressed… it helps 😉 so glad to hear that your hell week is basically over. Sending you so much love!

Miss Polkadot says
Actually, I can relate to the whole forgetting to eat when stressed. I’m constantly snacking when bored but give me lots to do and I suddenly find myself thinking way less about food. Definitely not the best habit but it happens.
I’ve never had Kind bars before but given we can hardly get any non-nasty-ingredient snack bars over here I’d really like to try them. Plus: Dark Chocolate with Sea Salt?! Perfect for my salty-sweet cravings – which are a regular happening.
