Nestle Outshine Bar Review and a VISA Gift Card Giveaway!

Did you know that those delicious Edy's Fruit Bars you can find in the freezer aisle at your local grocery store (that's Edy's on the east coast and Dryer's on the west coast!) are now being called Outshine bars? Yup, true story. I have always love, love, loved these fruit bars for their great flavors and simple ingredients.  You too?

The newly named Outshine bars are still made with real fruit or fruit juice and are fat-free (except for the Creamy Coconut flavor as there is some saturated fat from the coconut milk!) They even have some really great tasting Seasonal Flavors, two of which are in stores right now...Peach and Raspberry...and they are SO good!  If you live in the midwest like I do, you will gladly welcome the fresh taste of those two fruit flavors. Boy have I missed them during our long winter.

So now that you know all about the name change let me tell you about how I enjoy my Outshine bars, as these better-for-you bars definitely make every day a little brighter and more delicious when you get to snack on one :-) 

I love to take our bars to the park...the kids get to run around and burn off some energy while Oliver naps and I get to sit on a picnic blanket on the side hanging out with a few of my favorite magazines and basking in the sun.  I feel like my day instantly brightens when I get to enjoy a little "me" time in the middle of my crazy day being a momma to 4 kids all the while savoring a delicious treat, yum!

This bar, the Coconut Waters with Pineapple, has to be one of my top favorite flavors!  Coconut and pineapple...it's like indulging in a pina colada on a stick (minus the alcohol of course!) All the flavor minus any of the guilt, you cannot go wrong there!

My kids absolutely love these bars too (yes, I do share them with them when they are done playing!), in fact we love every single flavor we have ever bought.  The real fresh fruit or fruit juice ingredient list really makes it easy to say "sure, dudes!" when they want to add them into my grocery cart!

Ahh, look at that bar...who's hungry now? Seeing this picture definitely makes me want to head to the park again tomorrow so I can do this all over again!  It's amazing what just a bit of "me" time and a great-tasting, better-for-you snack like an Outshine bar will do for a momma.  They really are a great tasting snack that helps me be my best and essentially Snack Brighter as they give me the boost I need so I can be recharged and ready to push my cuties on the swings or play a game of hide and seek, which is always so much fun to do with my littles!

And Outshine and BlogHer are offering a $100 VISA gift card to my readers, just leave a comment telling me:  Which Outshine flavor is your favorite or which one would you most like to try?
