I love getting some sunshine and exercise at the Santa Monica Boardwalk. The food sold on the boardwalk is pretty pricey and usually unhealthy, so I normally pack a granola bar in my purse just in case I get hungry. Natural Balance Foods sent me a box to taste test and right now I love the cocoa mint and gingerbread Nākd Fruit And Nut Bars. All the bars are gluten-free and vegan, plus no sugar is added, except for dates. Since fruit and nuts are acceptable on the paleo diet, these bars are paleo friendly as well, plus if you’re a chocoholic like I am, you can order a box that contains only different chocolate flavored bars. You can also check out their Natural Balance Protein Bars if you want something with a bit more crunch to it.
