This easy to make, good-for-you V8 Protein Bar Trail Mix will help you get through the indulgent snacking season unscathed, and feeling great!
I don’t know about you guys, but December has been flying by, and I have been wearing my fat pants a lot. This is probably because I have been eating some pretty indulgent snacks and treats.
I figured it was high time for me to find a snack I want to eat, but that is good for me too! And so I introduce you to the V8 Protein Bar Trail Mix! It is loaded with protein, fiber, and great vegetable ingredients like carrots. We are talking good-for-you choices in the easiest form. But a huge perk for me, especially during this time when I want treats, is you won’t feel like you are eating veggies, which means this is a great mix for those with vegetable adverse family members!
I have one who thinks he should only eat treats, and it has been a long battle of trying to get him to make better food choices, and it doesn’t help when I just want to indulge, indulge, indulge. You know, I should probably set a better example and all. But with this trail mix, I can get that little indulgence I need everyday without the guilt! And still set a good example for the rest of my family!
I loaded this trail mix up with nuts and dried fruit for even more protein and fiber, and some chocolate to make it fun! And then I cut up pieces of the new V8 Protein Bars and mixed them in. The new V8 Protein Bars have tons of healthy ingredients like brown rice and carrots, which not just add great flavor, but great health. There are 6 flavors available in the bars and shakes, And they are so convenient. Which I love!!!
The shakes are also very convenient, and they have 12g Protein, 3g Fiber. The protein comes from milk, soy, pea, brown rice, and quinoa. They have great veggies including sweet potatoes and carrots. And the sweeteners are honey, brown rice syrup, and sugar.
If good-for-you choices is on your holiday list or New Year’s goals, then head to Walmart to the health and beauty section to find these bars and shakes. Then make this protein packed trail mix so you can have it on hand for on-the-go-snacking. It will fit seamlessly into your life no matter how busy it is, and your whole family will love it!!
I gladly took my bag full of trail mix with me to snack on while I ran errands and did some holiday shopping. And avoided giving in to the salty, greasy fries that were calling my name!
