Kashi Peanutty Dark Chocolate Granola Bars Review

So I know my blog isn't exactly one of those deal/review/giveaway/product-centered/tutorial-type blogs (you know what I mean, right?).
But today... it is!

Quick explanation....I belong to a national superawesomefabulous organization called Moms Meet. I get sent product samples from various health-conscious companies. Then I share them with my mom-friends and report back their thoughts.
I know. It rocks. I'm a lucky duck.
I've received products from Boiron, Vegenaise, Stonyfield, Seventh Gen, Crunchmaster, Kashi, and I just found out Stevia's on the way next month!
My title was "Mom Ambassador", but I just got upgraded to "Mom Ambassador Blogger." So now I get to blog about our sampling experiences, and I get even more cool free stuff in the mail :)

Toooodaaayyyy (I just felt like singing that)...I'm going to tell ya about our Kashi sampling.
I was the excited recipient of this fabulous shipment:

A sturdy reusable bag (yay! I bring those to Smiths to get more points), a box of TLC strawberry chewy granola bars, a recycled paper notebook with pen holder (makes me feel like an Oregon hippie), a mouse pad, a box of cereal (I generously and reluctantly gave away as a prize at our party), and SIXTY (60!) of their new Peanutty Dark Chocolate Granola bars. I had to restrain myself and my family members from digging into the stash immediately. We could've finished them off in less than a week, promise.

SO - what did I think of the bars? I'm not one to go too in-depth and analyze every crumb... I just reallyreally liked them. They were yummy. Very yummy. End of story.
My moms-group also loved them! A few had some specific comments, which you get to SEE on the video I made! I'm entering it in their contest (*crossing fingers and toes!*)
Here's the link to the video on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YB_hcqnSVeY Watch it!

A few more of our thoughts:

Pros

natural ingredients,
good protein and fiber content,
chocolate tastes great,

Cons

bar kindof falls apart making a mess

My "Mom's Group" - aka, our Nickel Auction Group. Between 20-30 of us
each month! The perfect opportunity to share product samples.

In short - I DEFINITELY would recommend Kashi ® TLC ® Peanutty Chocolate Layered Granola Bars to everyone!

Kashi ® TLC ® Peanutty Dark Chocolate Layered Granola Bars retail for $3.89. Find them
at most major grocery stores nationwide
Here's Kashi's website and their Facebook page.

Quotes I want to remember

"The Lord knows our bearing capacity, both as to coping and to comprehending, and He will not give us more to bear than we can manage at the moment, though to us it may seem otherwise. Just as no temptations will come to us from which we cannot escape or which we cannot bear, we will not be given more trials than we can sustain."
- Neal A. Maxwell

"It is a fundamental truth that the responsibilities of motherhood cannot be successfully delegated. No, not to day-care centers, not to schools, not to nurseries, not to babysitters. We become enamored with men's theories such as the idea of preschool training outside the home for young children. Not only does this put added pressure on the budget, but it places young children in an environment away from mother's influence."
-Ezra Taft Benson

“Perhaps there has never been a time when we had greater need to pray and to teach our family members to pray. Prayer is a defense against temptation. It is through earnest and heartfelt prayer that we can receive the needed blessings and the support required to make our way in this sometimes difficult and challenging journey we call mortality.”
-Thomas S. Monson

“Live the gospel as conspicuously as you can. Keep the covenants your children know you have made. And bear your testimony! Don’t just assume your children will somehow get the drift of your beliefs on their own.
-Jeffrey R. Holland

"We hold in our arms the rising generation. They come to this earth with important responsibilities and great spiritual capacities. We cannot be casual in how we prepare them. Our challenge as parents and teachers is not to create a spiritual core in their souls but rather to fan the flame of their spiritual core already aglow with the fire of their premortal faith."
-Neil L. Andersen

"Certainly there are times when getting the family together to read the scriptures does not stack up as a spiritual experience worthy of a journal entry. But we must not be deterred. There are special times when the spirit of a son or daughter is just right and the power of these great scriptures goes down into their heart like fire. As we honor our Heavenly Father in our homes, He will honor our efforts."
-Neil L. Andersen

President Hinckley admonished both men and women to be nurturers. He said, ‘How much more beautiful would be the society in which we live if every father . . . and . . . mother regarded [their] children . . . as gifts from the God of heaven . . . and brought them up with true affection in the wisdom and admonition of the Lord.’ ”
-Susan W. Tanner

"Children are like trees. When they are young, their lives can be shaped and directed, usually with ever so little effort. Said the writer of Proverbs, 'Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it' (22:6). That training finds its roots in the home. There will be little of help from other sources. Do not depend on government to help in this darkening situation. Barbara Bush, wife of former U.S. president George Bush, spoke wisely: 'Your success as a family, our success as society, depends not on what happens at the White House, but on what happens inside your house.' "
-Gordon B. Hinckley

“I give counsel to husbands and wives. Pray for the love which allows you to see the good in your companion. Pray for the love that makes weaknesses and mistakes seem small. Pray for the love to make your companion’s joy your own. Pray for the love to want to lessen the load and soften the sorrows of your companion.”
-Henry B. Eyring

“Reverent behavior is not a natural tendency for most children. It is a quality that is taught by parents and leaders through example and training. But remember, if reverence is rooted in love, so is the teaching of it. Harshness in our training begets resentment, not reverence.”
-Margaret S. Lifferth

"There is no one perfect way to be a good mother. Each situation is unique. Each mother has different challenges, different skills and abilities, and certainly different children. What matters is that a mother loves her children deeply and, in keeping with the devotion she has for God and her husband, prioritizes them above all else."
- M. Russell Ballard

“As parents, we should remember that our lives may be the book from the family library which the children most treasure. Are our examples worthy of emulation? Do we live in such a way that a son or a daughter may say, ‘I want to follow my dad,’ or ‘I want to be like my mother’?”
-Thomas S. Monson

“Security for our families comes from learning self-control, avoiding the excesses of this world, and being temperate in all things.”
-Kent D. Watson
