Eating Natural and Healthy Bear Naked Trail Mix

by 10 Comments

By Summer:

I’ve been eating healthy and trying to be good with my weight loss, especially so I can give a fair and honest review to you all about Lindsay Brin’s 60 Day SlimDown. I have to admit though; I need the sugar and chocolate. I love it! I imagine most of you do too, so my secret to success with weight loss and my addiction … Moderation? Sure but it’s also the quality of the products.

Bear Naked Trail Mix CollectionOne of my tasty snacks has been sampling Bear NakedTM 100% Pure and Natural Trail Mix. They have 3 varieties: Cranberry Almond, Pecan Apple Flax, and Chocolate Cherry. I, of course, chose the Chocolate Cherry! Each re-sealable pouch offers 4 ½ cup servings perfect for snacking on the go — inside your gym bag, purse or diaper bag – or at home. Bear NakedTM 100% Pure and Natural Trail Mix did contain sugars but it contains NO high fructose corn syrup, NO artificial preservatives, NO artificial flavors, NO cholesterol, NO hydrogenated oils, and 0 grams trans fats. Perfect for a healthy snack with REAL ingredients like dried cranberries, whole grain oats, dried cherries, roasted almonds, raisins, semi-sweet chocolate chips, oat bran, and coconut. (I have your mouth watering don’t I?!?)

Bear Naked Cherry Chocolate Trail MixI got my chocolate fix in the health way, spending 120 calories munching on Bear NakedTM 100% Pure and Natural Trail Mix and I added a cup of strawberry yogurt at 90 calories for a complete 210 calorie snack; I got some fruit and dairy from the yogurt, and whole grains from Bear NakedTM 100% Pure and Natural Trail Mix.

Bare Naked Granola for breakfast and snacks in my house

by 4 Comments

Bear Naked: All Natural Granola, Oatmeal, Low Sugar Cereal and 100% Organic Hot CerealWe’ve been eating a bunch of Fruit loops but this morning I tried to give my daughter Apple Jacks, she said “NO”. I didn’t want to open a new bag of cereal when we had plenty of open bags. So I gave her the Bear Naked Granola we’ve been working on and her smile was so big.

I don’t really like to give my kids sugary cereals for breakfast but at the same time when I get a great deal on something I can’t pass it up. Hmm, frugal and healthy can they mix?

Yes they can.

Bear Naked can be found at stores like whole foods but you can also purchase it at Albertsons in their natural section. It’s nice, looking around and seeing healthy food at my normal store. Also, Albertsons has the best sales and if you combine them with a coupon it’s great.

We’ve been eating the Cranberry Raisin, we have some other flavors to try but I haven’t opened them yet. Like I said, we’ve been waiting on finishing some other boxes of cereal first. We’re slowly catching up. This cereal is good to munch on because it’s got so much in it. It has apples and cranberries and raisins it it. The granola is good and my MOMS Club likes it too.

Bear Naked sent me three bags of cereal to try. I’ll write about the next bag after we open it. It’s Heavenly Chocolate.
