I am always looking for ways to get protein, especially after I run, as I don't always have the time to cook a meal and protein shakes can get old fast. I could also see using these to fuel before my workout as they all contain unsweetened coconut, which has been shown to be a great source of quick, available energy and boost metabolism as well. I also love that ALL of the bars are a good source of iron, ranging between 8-15% of the RDA per bar.
Originally geared toward the Crossfit Paleo lifestyle, AMRAP has developed a refueling bar that is loaded with nutrients; protein to help repair and build muscles and good fats for energy, while meeting the needs of a clean diet. No fillers, no ingredients you can't pronounce or don't recognize, just 7-8 real food ingredients such as egg whites, honey, unsweetened coconut and a variety of nuts and nut butters.

AMRAP bars come in three flavors:
Cashew & Vanilla
Fig & Cacao
Almond & Honey
My favorite was definitely the Almond & Honey; it was the first bar I tried. I am not a huge fan of foods with nuts, but honestly, this was *really* good. I was a little hesitant because of the fat content of this particular bar, as they other two have significant;y less fat, but reminded myself it was "good" fat. Cashew & Vanilla was a close second. I didn't care for the Fig & Cacao as much compared to the other two, but it was still tasty.
So....here's your chance to win some of these awesome, brand new to the market, refueling bars. AMRAP has given me the opportunity to give away THREE boxes (8 bars each) of the winner's choice in flavor!

These sound really good. I'm highly sensitive to artificial sweeteners so a lot of bars on the market are a no-go for me. Post-run, if I don't have time for a protein shake, I will eat a couple of hardboiled eggs or a handful of nuts.
