BETTER BARS-ATHLETE EATS Part 1

Energy or snack bars made without a bunch of other artificial processed junk...are easy portable ways to get a post workout/race bump in nutrition. FYI:   THESE INGREDIENTS  aren't big pluses either! Chewy in texture, tasty-with real bits of seeds, nuts, fruit (depending)-and enough moist/crispy balance to satisfy a sweet tooth as much as a regular ole' industrial processed candy bar...these bars all deliver fiber/protein and are non-GMO -unlike some of those offerings from the big companies that garner a lot of shelf space.    Curate Bars  come in several flavors-including interesting sweet salty mix-up of rich bittersweet dark chocolate,  crunchy-ish pistachios and refreshing sweet strawberries-backed up by chewy oats, fiber/protein laden quinoa and smooth nutty tasting almond butter blend-basis of all their bars. 5 grams of protein, non GMO, no artificial ingredients, gluten free and a good source of pant based fiber.

 After a grueling marathon-or long distance triathlon---besides a beer-there is not much we yearn for food wise...yet refueling within an hour of crossing the finish line---is a critical given for a speedy recovery. via GIPHY Plus-a celebratory indulgence -earned...without breaking the bank -nutrition-wise---is almost as good as a podium finish. Our Favs... to say that we looovvveeee WONDERFUL Get Crackin' Pistachio Nuts is an understatement, with the original Roasted&Salted and Salt&Pepper our MUSTS. Note= snap the shells apart-makes a crack sound...and a whole pile of nuts is only 100 calories (a very satisfying portion control) ---delivering a bunch of Vitamin Bs, Protein,Manganese, Copper,  Iron and Potassium -all nutritional criticals- post race.  water is of course an ideal hydratin' liquid---but imo fruits with high water content (some vegetables too) provide for better- longer lasting hydration  needs...
