Snack Bars save me every day!

Life is full and it is BUSY!! if you don’t feel this way, I’m sort of jealous and also feel like you might be missing out! I find between juggling work, workouts, sports, school pickup or family commitments, it's easy to reach for something quick but unhealthy or just carb loaded, but Shaklee Snack Bars are my go-to solution for a nutritious protein boost without ruining my next meal!

Things to look for in bar; many are “fat bars” or “energy bars,” certainly not “protein bars”

  1. High-Quality Protein: Each Shaklee Snack Bar is packed with premium protein to help stay energized, muscle recovery, stay fuller longer, and support overall health.

  2. Nutrient-Rich Ingredients: These bars are made with wholesome ingredients that not only provide protein, but also deliver essential vitamins and minerals. No artificial additives either. I call them “nasties”

  3. Delicious Flavors: Shaklee Snack Bars come in 4 flavors: cherry almond, toffee crunch (my son’s favorite), peanut butter crisp (my favorite and good with a few chocolate chips too), chocolate & coconut.

  4. Convenient Packaging: Designed for busy lifestyles, they’re individually wrapped so toss in your purse, car, gym backpack, briefcase or lunchbox. You can enjoy a healthy snack at work, after a workout, or while running errands, but if you’r not prepared, all the sudden Crumble Cookies looks really darn healthy! lol

  5. Balanced Nutrition: These bars provide a perfect balance of protein, carbohydrates, and healthy fats, making them an excellent option for pre- or post-workout fuel. They help replenish your energy levels and support muscle recovery after exercise.

    Which flavor will you choose? 10 per box so grab two!
