PROBAR saved me from morning sickness! I’m 10 weeks pregnant with my third child. My morning sickness typically sets in very early, and this time was no exception. There were several mornings where I couldnt even think about eating a normal breakfast with my family. I would sit on my living room sofa, just hoping I wouldn’t throw up.

One day I was running late to bring my son to school so I decided to grab one of my favorite Whole Berry Blast PROBARs. I took two small bites, and I instantly felt better! It was amazing. After that, any time I was feeling queasy in the morning, a few bites of a Whole Berry Blast PROBAR would make me feel so much better.

I made sure I always had a PROBAR with me to nibble on; I kept a PROBAR in my jacket pocket, one in my purse, and one in the glove compartment of my car. Those PROBARs were a huge livesaver to get over those first few rocky weeks of morning sickness. Thank you!

Victory

Another Win

A few years ago I walked out of the Good Earth health food store in Orem, Utah with a PROBAR in my hands.  I had never seen one before and thought I would give it a try.  I was traveling many miles that day across a few state lines and thought it would make a good road-snack.

I couldn’t wait very long and so before we were even out of Utah Valley I was eating my PROBAR.  It didn’t take long for my taste buds to stand up and take notice.  It was so good!!  I read over the ingredients a few times and came to realize that not only is this great tasting it is also great for my “ying and yang.”

I wasn’t too sure when I was going to come across a PROBAR again so I decided to save the silver edged wrapper with it’s bikers, skiers, and rock climbers so that I could look for PROBARs in my new location. It was a good idea to save it, but a not so good idea to put it in a “not-so-used” glove box during a busy and hectic moving time. So here I am now, five years later, digging through this particular glove box and what do I stumble across?!…A silver-edge little piece of heaven!

I quickly took the wrapper inside to go and look up the PROBAR company on the internet, hoping along the way that they had not gone out of business while I had this five year long amnesia..and what do I discover…not only is PROBAR still living, but they are alive and kicking!

The silver-edged wrapper PROBAR I had originally fell in love with was not to be found, but it looks like there is a whole lot more out there now flavor-wise for my “tastebud factory” to discover and enjoy.  Glad to see you are still here!!

My beloved husband introduced me to PROBAR. Austin was an accomplished athlete, and he used to bring Clif Bars with him to his events, but then he tried Probars and became hooked. He insisted I try them, as I was always trying Powerbars and getting disappointed. Either they were too squishy, too dry, too sweet, not sweet enough, had a strange after taste…the list goes on. But when Austin handed me his favorite, Nutty Banana Boom, I tried it and I instantly became hooked, just like him.

I experimented with flavors, and I love the Nutty Banana Boom, but I have to say that nothing satisfies my chocolate cravings like Koka Moka. In fact, now when I have the urge for chocolate, I reach for a Koka Moka and feel much better about myself for having made the healthier choice. The consistency is moist without being squishy, is just the right balance of sweetness, and has just the right amount of dark chocolate chips. No other power bar comes close in comparison.

The love of my life passed away tragically on Valentine’s Day of 2009, just a few weeks ago, while training for an athletic event. He was only 42. Whenever I eat a PROBAR now, I remember how much he loved them, and particularly when I eat his favorite Nutty Banana Boom, I tell him, “This one’s for you, my love.” Somehow, I feel like he’s here, enjoying it through me. I know that’s a lot to say about a protein bar, but it’s just one of the many ways I stay connected to the man who was my life.

This summer I went to the Philmont Boy Scout Ranch in Northern New Mexico. We spent twelve days on a once in a life time backpacking trip. As you can guess, this meant that all the food we carried had to be not only compact, but high in nutrition and non-perishable.

When it came time for our first lunch we pulled out some crackers, canned ham, and these things that the camp had given us labeled PROBAR. Being that we had never seen nor heard of these before, we were a bit skeptical. However, we were still hungry so I decided to try a bite, and I was honestly astounded. It just so happened that this particular bar was the Cran-Lemon Twister and I loved it!

After I ate the rest, we decided to check out the ingredients and were amazed at how jam-packed of nutrients they were. The next day at lunch, and every day for the rest of the trip, we looked forward to the organic deliciousness of the PROBAR. Several weeks later when eating the same type of food in Wyoming, I made sure to point the PROBARs out to the other scouts I was with.

We’ve had more than one new customer let us know that they found the bars while at Philmont and have since fallen in love with our products. That gets us stoked to say the least.

While Jason our sales director was there this past summer he had the chance to catch up with a few of the staff to find out what they thought of PROBAR and it seems that it’s become a staple of the staff members too.

My nephew Ian is a friend of Art’s and is a great supporter of the PROBAR. Matter of fact Ian turned me to the PROBAR. I am not a great proponent of health bars, they usually taste like cardboard. So when Ian first talked to me about the PROBAR I was very hesitant about trying them. He talked to me into it and I am so very happy he did.

I tried the New Pistacchio bar - it is not my favorite but it was good. Since then I have found five flavors that I love and I have for breakfast daily. I’m only sorry they are so expensive here on the East Coast. I was recently in SLC and found that they are a lot less expensive out West.

Today, I ordered on-line several cases for two reasons: first, to get the flavors that I like (the stores here don’t always have the flavors I like); second, to get a better cost per unit than what the Probar is sold for in the stores out here. I really enjoy the PROBAR and I hope you continue to develop new and interesting flavors. And I hope you are able to expand your distribution to locations other than Whole Foods.

Art, keep up the good work and thank you for developing such a tasting, healthy food source.

Here are a couple:

• “The PROBAR is not an ‘empty’ snack bar with fake ingredients that you can’t pronounce.  I love to munch on these between meals to hold me over to satisfy my sweet/carb craving.”
• “When my schedule is such that stopping for lunch is not possible, the PROBAR fills the bill!”

In addition to the review, Amie shared with us her thoughts about PROBAR.  Here is her $.02.

PROBARS are amazing products; I would recommend them to anyone! Your bars are simply the best. Every PROBAR I have tasted from your company has been delicious and my clients love the vast array of unique flavors! I encourage all of my clients to use your products and I would highly recommend your foods to anyone. They are exceptional quality for the price and make snacking and cooking a fabulous meal a breeze!

As a nutritionist, I consume all natural foods and the fact that each bar is vegan, 100% organic, made from quality ingredients, as well as incredibly satisfying- makes it a winner in my book! The great news is that my clients do not crave sweets anymore! Thank you PROBAR! My clients are finished hitting up the vending machine—now they simply unwrap their delicious PROBARS and fuel up; they are thrilled to have tasty bars in their pantry for themselves and their children.

Whether in French or in English, this co-op store brings together all the best equipment and products for outdoor pursuits and lifestyle.

MEC is the first store to carry PROBAR products and the bars are now available in a few stores and will soon be available across all of the MEC stores in Canada.

Makes you want to sing “OH CANADA” with a little more fervor, eh?

While in Vegas she also had the chance to check out Red Rocks and go for some training rides. I must agree with her sentiment - if you’ve not had the chance to go there it’s a must (preferably in the spring or fall when temps aren’t unbearable.)

One word about Red Rocks: spectacular! The mountain biking was awesome, the road riding is awesome, and Vegas has a ton of gorgeous outdoor pools. I am considering a training camp there. How fun would that be? Ride your heart out all day and then have a myriad of wonderful things to do at night?
