Tote Your Oats with Bobo's Oat Bars!

Love a hearty, stick-to-your ribs bowl of hot oatmeal, but don’t have time to cook on a busy morning? Thanks to Bobo’s Oat Bars,  you can get the satisfying, nutrient and fiber dense goodness of oats in a delicious to-go version! {Product sent for review/feature consideration}

It seems like everyone is talking about ways to lose weight and eat healthier with whole grains like oats. But let’s be honest, while oatmeal on its own is a great low-cal choice for breakfast, plain cooked oats are bland and can be gummy if not cooked properly. In addition, we tend to doctor oatmeal up with a large helping of all sorts of yummy ingredients to help us choke it down - which generally negates the point of the meal. 

The Boulder, Colorado-based maker of delicious, chewy oat-based bars, Bobo’s Oat Bars makes it easy have a satisfying, portable oat breakfast or snack on hand with its wide variety of hand-baked, all-natural, gluten-free and vegan breakfast /snack bars. Made with the finest organic, wheat-free and gluten-free non-GMO ingredients, Bobo’s Oat Bars are available in 16 chewy, gooey and nutritious flavors for oatmeal lovers who need their fix, even on the run.

Bobo’s Oat Bars nutritional values vary slightly depending on flavor, but the Original regular sized bar {which is simply DELICIOUS}, for example, contains 360 calories and 12 grams of fat, of which only 3 grams is saturated, and brown rice syrup in place of refined sugar. Bobo’s Bites {my girls love the Peanut Butter & Jelly flavor and London loves when she finds a yummy Bobo's Bites packed in her bag for snack} contain about half these amounts. And there’s something for everyone. For adults looking for a quick breakfast or post-workout snack, the Bobo’s team recommends Maple Pecan {so yummy}, Banana, Cinnamon Raisin and Lemon Poppyseed. Chocolate, Almond, Coconut {my absolute FAVORITE flavor} and Strawberry are ideal options for afternoon snack breaks.

For kids, or for a less filling adult snack than the full bars, the Bobo’s Bites are the perfect addition to a lunchbox or as a snack on the way to after-school activities, for those 3 p.m. munchies at your desk or in the glove box when you’re stuck in traffic. Kids love the PB&J, Original and Apple Pie flavors, which are half the size of the original Bobo’s Oat Bars and come in a box of five bites. So, don’t ditch the oats if you’re too busy - “tote your oats”! Until next time...
