One of the things we are trying to do is fine some healthy alternative foods to keep in the house. This isn’t very easy because frankly, junk food tastes good. I know its called junk food for a reason, but it’s still hard to give up.
When Family Review Network and Regeneration USA offered a chance to try their Anti-Aging Whole Food Bar I jumped on the chance. I have been trying to sample many healthy foods lately and I’m not always thrilled with them. This one however actually is pretty good!
I received an original flavor and regenerating cocoa brownie. Can you guess which one I tried first? Yep, the cocoa – I mean come on! First of all this is not a dinky bar at all, it’s a nice sized bar and weighs in at 2.07 ounces. It is super dense and moist. Sort of like those Little Debbie brownies – I know, I know. It’s what I have to go by though and in that one respect they are similar. Upon taking a bite I was surprised, this bar has a lot going on. I mean it is one busy bar! There are so many different bits of different goodies that it really is a very pleasant experience with all the different textures and tastes. Included are goji berries, jiaogulan tea, acai berries, mangosteen, pomegranate, blueberries, and mulberries. T also gave these a try and he agreed it’s busy in a very good way. The original is also busy, but just a tiny bit less tasty since it didn’t have the cocoa in it. They are quite filling for a bar and would be a good size snack or you could even use as a meal replacement type bar I think. They aren’t inexpensive, but compared to many others that don’t offer much of anything I think the price isn’t too bad.
(the bar is bigger - I just forgot to take a picture before I started eating)
The big thing with these bars is the great things it has that are anti-aging foods. Are you still going to get older, of course, but these bars contain 7,800 ORAC (Oxygen Radial Absorbance Capacity) units per bar. We should try to get an estimated 5,000 ORAC units per day but most of us only get about 1,200. So the Regeneration Anti-Aging Whole Food Bar gets you there and then some! While I don’t think of myself as being old at all (I’m 38), I do see small signs of aging already and know that I need to try to take better care of myself in many ways to help in overall health and to slow-down my aging a bit. I think these bars could definitely help get what I need in an easy to consume way.
So if you are trying to include more antioxidants in your diet, eat whole foods, and just generally do better then I suggest giving these a try. Thanks again to
Family Review Network and
Regeneration USA for providing me the sample bars to try.
