You may have noticed…but I live my life on the go. I am never in one place too long. And I love to travel and take in new experiences. Whether it’s halfway across the world or in my own backyard, I never linger too long in one place. It’s a big world out there and it has plenty to offer me.
As someone who is constantly away from home, I like to save money where I can and pack grab-and-go snacks that I can tuck into my purse or pocket for when my stomach starts rumbling. I admit…I am a snacker. I eat constantly and my stomach lets me know when it needs a little something to get to the next meal.
For the past month, I’ve lived a good chunk of my days standing in the General Admission line for various U2 shows across the country. Snacks are what you live off of in these lines. You want easy to transport, small, and nothing that will melt…because we are in the heat of the summer, after all. And that was when I discovered yet another Enjoy Life product at my grocery store: Cocoa Loco Snack Bars.
Not only are these bars gluten-free and dairy-free…they are also vegan and free of all of the ingredients in the top 8 food allergies. Bonus! So, I took a chance and bought a box of them for the line. At half the calories gluten-free protein bars come with, I was feeling really happy with my decision. My only concern was…what if they didn’t taste good?
It was on a sweltering hot day in St. Louis while I was sitting in the line of U2 fans that I broke out my first Enjoy Life Cocoa Loco Snack Bar. I opened up the package…not impressed by the presentation. It did look like sweet chocolate-y goodness though. So, breaking off a piece, I popped it in my mouth and took a taste.
SO good. The texture was a little denser than most snack bars, but it was sweet and filled any craving I might have had for chocolate. It was delicious. Like eating a brownie. Dessert without the guilt…that’s how I’d describe it. The flavor was fantastic. I gave a piece to my roommate and she also loved it (and she doesn’t have food allergies!). So, this was the perfect snack for living life on the go. Sweet, savory, and just the right hit of chocolate. I can’t wait to try their other flavors now.
Enjoy Life once again put out an amazing product that not only tastes delicious…but makes you feel like you are getting more than a snack…only without the guilt.
Go crazy…go loco…get Cocoa Loco!
