Thank you to LUNA Protein for providing me a LUNA Protein sample pack to review. The opinions I’ve expressed here are solely my own and represent my honest viewpoint.

***

For the last two weeks, something remarkable has been happening at my house each Tuesday and Thursday.

After my son heads to kindergarten, and my girls have been dropped off at mothers’ day out for the day, I have found myself in the glorious position of being on my own for a few hours! No diapers to change. Or snacks to make. Or arguments to referee. Bliss!

So what have I done with myself on these days to myself? Here’s a hint:

Baby Cuatro will be making his/her grand entrance in just a matter of weeks, so every. single. moment. I’ve had has been spent working on the nursery. This week’s project has been the bedding, and it has been quite the undertaking! This morning, I actually looked up from my sewing machine and realized I had overlooked something crucial in my solitary glee:

I had forgotten to eat. And I was hungry, folks!

I was recently given the opportunity to try out some LUNA Protein bars, a perfect in-a-crunch or on-the-go snack option for busy moms coping with the hustle and bustle of caring for little ones (or for those like myself striving to maximize to the fullest the moments we have to ourselves!). Created just for women, the bars are packed with goodness:

Gluten Free
12g of protein, 3g of fiber
High in Calcium and Folic Acid
Good Source of Iron and Vitamin D

I have absolutely loved having these bars at my disposal this week. Even when I am my busiest, I know I can grab a LUNA Protein bar for a nutritious, satisfying snack that doesn’t necessitate any fussy prep work on my part. And you know the best part? These bars are absolutely delicious! My personal favorites have been the Cookie Dough and Chocolate Peanut Butter flavors, but each and every variety I’ve tried has been super tasty. 


So instead of having to abbreviate my sewing frenzy yesterday, I satisfied my hunger with one of these bars. I also tucked one in my purse before my son’s soccer practice earlier this week, and I was so glad to have it on hand!

So, do you want in on a little secret? 

FIVE (!!) lucky Positively Splendid readers are going to win their very own LUNA Prize Pack, which each will include a sample pack of LUNA Protein as well as a bonus treat from LUNA!

    I love luna bars! Haven’t tried the protein ones yet. But I almost always keep the others in my purse. Even to the point that my 2.5 year old nephew says “E can I have a bite of ‘woona’” :) Presh! So pick me!

    These look amazing. Having a 9 year old who has to eat gluten-free for allergy reasons, I’m always running short on snack ideas. This would be a yummy thing to pop in his backpack for an afterschool snack.

    While I may not be a mother-on-the-go, I am an aunt who spends her days either at college, or keeping my one year old niece. So, I guess that makes me an Aunt-on-the-go. She’s the busiest little thing in the whole world but I love her to pieces. =]

    btw love the blog!
