GoMacro Macro Bar Review

Thanks to my awesome run group Run Eat Tweet AZ, I was able to test out, for review, the GoMacro Bar!  Thanks Run Eat Tweet AZ and GoMacro for the opportunity!

For me testing out "health foods" has an acquired taste.  That's not the case for everyone, but I guess my taste buds are always surprised, not sure what to expect.  So it always takes me more than one taste test before I can really make a decision how I feel about it.  Thankfully, GoMacro made that easy for me.  I mean...holy big box, and all the flavors!  What an awesome company!  I received a box of mini bars as samples.  For me this is perfect!  They sell full sized ones, but the minis are more my speed. 

A quick view about the bars and company per their Facebook page:

  GoMacro believes in feeling good about what we eat- how it tastes, how it’s made, and how it sustains the environment. Family owned and based in a small rural community, our wholesome food maintains goodness on all levels. Small in size but big on impact, we are a big picture company. GoMacro.

The first bar I tried I thought I couldn't go wrong with.  Peanut Butter and chocolate seems to be a go to, even for me with my distaste for peanut butter!  I gobbled one down for breakfast as I was heading out for an early morning movie with the kids.  This was not my favorite.  I was so bummed.  I'm not sure what I was expecting I guess, but it just didn't suit my flavor.  Never fear, that was just my first taste.

Quick breakfast

I decided to head towards fruity next, so before a double workout I went for the apple and walnut one.  Ahhh, much better.  I REALLY enjoyed that bar and several others since the first initial choice.  I've tried a few other flavors, most of them I like a lot.  There was only one other so far that wasn't my favorite, but still not bad, just not my taste.

There were plenty of quick "on the go" breakfasts when I didn't have time to whip something up, so having the GoMacro bar around has been a very handy thing.  You can pair it with just about anything and have a winning combination!  Fruit, eggs, smoothie, (ice cream) whatever your heart desires!  I've used them for before workouts when it's been a couple hours since I've had a meal, but it's still too early to eat another meal, but I also just need a little fuel, nothing super major.  I've also used them as an after workout snack, especially when it's later at night and I don't want to fill up.  Seriously, having this box around has been so great!

Just before heading out for a double workout.

Extra early morning on the trails.

My children have been begging to try them out as well.  I haven't shared with them yet because I was working my way through each flavor to find the ones they'd like better (they're pretty picky, I ease them in gently) I can update this as they give some a try in the next couple of weeks.

What I like about these best is I know what food is in them.  There's no words/ingredients I can't pronounce, the ingredients are natural and it's a good family company which is always nice.

I'm grateful I've had the opportunity to test drive these bars.  I've enjoyed that they're so easy to pack away and snack on when needed, and with all natural ingredients, they're a win every time!
