Our New Project: Strong Sense of Place
My new project is taking all of my attention right now, and I'd love for you to join me for new adventures! It's called Strong...
Read MoreGiveaway: AMRAP Bars #raisethebar
Over the summer, I got to try super-secret, advance, sneak-peek flavors from AMRAP Nutrition and now – YAY! – the new flavors are available for everyone. They’re awesome to throw into your bag on your way out the door, to fuel your adventures at the gym, or to nosh on when you’re in a hurry at home.
These are damn tasty bars, and they’re nutritious, too, with a nice balance of protein, carbs, and fat (15g/24g/20g, respectively). The ingredients are top-notch: 100% paleo, no GMO, no gluten, no dairy, no preservatives, no artificial anything. Just delicious, healthy things you probably have in your pantry right now – nuts and seeds, honey, unsweetened coconut, egg white protein, figs, cacao, vanilla extract, spices, sea salt – mixed together in a very special way.
Here’s what AMRAP has to say about their bars, in more science-y terms:
To maximize efficiency, AMRAP bars are packed with complete natural proteins and amino acids to repair your muscles. Most importantly, all these bars contain the optimal fat to carb ratio that increases lean mass and energy and is the crucial component for overall health and body composition.
Now, let’s talk about the new flavors. Almond & Honey, Fig & Cacao, and Cashew & Vanilla. I know, right? They sound like cookie names. But here’s the thing: they’re not too sweet and they have a really nice, chewy, tender texture. They taste great without tasting so much like a treat that they wake up the sugar demon.
The Almond & Honey Bar contains sea salt, cinnamon, and raw honey that work together to provide essential micro minerals to re-balance electrolytes, limit rises in blood sugar, and maintain glycogen levels that improve athletic recovery time.
The Fig & Cacao Bar promotes cardiovascular health and has high fiber content, and is rich in phyto-nutrients, antioxidants, and vitamins. Dates and cacao also work together to remove free radicals and reduce inflammation.
The Cashew & Vanilla Bar has egg whites that are packed with protein to increase muscle mass while cashews and coconut work together to help to maximize energy, aid in muscle synthesis, and provide macronutrients.

Hi Melissa,
I’d love to try all 3 and I haven’t yet because I wasn’t sure of the quality. There are SO many bars out there! Thanks for the recommendation, I will try them even if I don’t win the free box. The descriptions make them sound like they each have a slightly different composition and one may be better than another for recovery versus pre-workout. True, or no?
OKay, I would choose Cashew Vanilla. Thanks

Almond & Honey!
OK, so HOW I have not heard of your site until now is beyond me… but a fellow CrossFitter turned me on to it, and I am so excited! Well Fed 2 has jumped to the top of my cookbook want list! I am a CrossFit-obsessed dietitian running a 12-week paleo challenge with a local bootcamp, and I am REALLY excited about the idea of these bars to recommend to the participants who like to use bars in the morning. I love the higher protein content- I am working with a lot of Larabar lovers, and although they are GREAT, not enough protein for their needs. That being said, would love to try ANY of the flavors, but I think cashew-vanilla might win out.
My food blog is not strictly paleo, nor does my family eat strict paleo, but I would say we are about 70%. I lived in Europe for years and can’t quite shake my love of making and eating really, really good bread and desserts, so I try to channel the caveman-meets-Parisian-foodie vibe 🙂 Very long comment, sorry, but just had to say ‘hello,’ and I can’t wait to buy one of your cookbooks!
Cashew & vanilla! Thanks for the giveaway:)
Cashew and Vanilla? Yes please.
I would love to try the cashew and vanilla!
All of them sounds amazing, but Cashew&Vanilla definitely sounds like my kind of bar!
Fig & Cacao would be interesting to try
