KIND snacks

KIND snacks make some of the best snack bars and granola I have had. I really like these bars because they are made of "Real-food." KIND is a brand of all natural whole nut and fruit bars made from ingredients you can see and pronounce. Lately I have been bringing them on my longer rides as a more substantial snack which is great because one bar will get me through a 6 hour training ride. This may sound funny, but, since KIND bars are composed of actual food(you can see the individual ingredients!) it makes for a much happier stomach after the ride and days following (they are KIND on your stomach). So as of now, you will now find a kind bar in my jersey pocket on almost all of my training rides. Try replacing it with your current "SHOT-BLOCKS", GU or other "pure energy" gel or bar and you will see that your energy levels will remain higher, for a lot longer. Now I would like to talk about KIND granola (KIND calls it "Grains"). So far I have tried the Peanut Butter Whole Grain Clusters and the Maple Walnut Clusters with Chia & Quinoa. BOTH ARE ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!-and I was never really a granola person. I have been putting both in my cereal and I absolutely Love the products. I would definitely check out the Granola. Both retail for $5.99(Im not too familiar with granola prices but, bottom line is that it is really tasty and healthy. Whether you are on the bike or in your office/home/classroom, I would definitely give their product a try.
