Snack Smarter with Balance-#CraveFreely #Giveaway

This post is sponsored by the Mom It Forward Blogger Network and Balance Bar. As always my words and views are 100% my own. #CraveFreely

Are you a chocolate lover? Do you crave a delicious snack every now and then? If you are like me, it may be a daily craving. We live in a world that makes us feel guilty if we indulge in those cravings. When we do, we can end up feeling bad and wishing we had not eaten whatever it was. I have always said the key to a healthy diet is moderation. I think we have all seen those who overdue it in one way or another. I am talking about those individuals that go on extreme diets not allowing themselves one grain of sugar and those that just indulge way too much and do not make any healthy choices.

If we balance our choices, it won’t leave us with the feeling that we have to deny ourselves any foods or treats we truly enjoy. This is why I was so happy to see Balance. Balance lets us enjoy those snacks we crave, savor the sweetness we love but also give us the nutrition our body needs. With Balance I can snack smarter and still indulge my sweet tooth in a way I don’t feel guilty about. Balance bars are a snack option with the perfect balance of great taste and energizing ingredients. Available in four new flavors like Chocolate Caramel Peanut Nougat, Chocolate Peppermint Patty, Dark Chocolate Pecan Turtle and Dulce De Leche & Caramel. These flavors are so good, they don’t’ taste like you are sacrificing anything, they are full of the decadent taste I crave along with the protein and fiber I need.

Each bar has 190 calories or less and contains 5-7 grams of protein along with 5-6 grams of fiber. The new flavors come in a pack of 2 mini bars which make it feel even more like a candy bar to me. They even have single mini bars to help you snack easily on-the-go.

Balance is available at CVS, Walgreens, Amazon and select Walmart stores nationwide. You can stay in the loop with Balance Bar on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.

Are You Having Trouble Achieving & Maintaining Balance In Your Life?

I’m really excited to let you know about The Balance Project! Did you know that research has shown that 98% of Americans believe that reaching and maintaining a balance in their lives is important but only 14% say they always feel balanced. That’s a huge gap! Balance Bar Company wants to help fill that gap and so the makers of Balance Bar, a uniquely balanced energy nutrition bar, launched The Balance Project. The Balance Project is a multi-year, multi-platform program that is designed to open a dialogue that will help improve America’s level of balance.

The Balance Project is an online hub to share ideas, day-to-day victories and challenges while having fun and joining others on a journey to sustain balance. Did you know that research shows the most common ways Americans try to achieve balance is by keeping their finances in order and through activities that improve overall health like getting more/enough sleep, eating healthy, and exercising regularly.

Despite this, 2 in 5 Americans believe it’s difficult to find balance. Gabrielle Reece is the exclusive guide of The Balance Project. Gabrielle, a worldwide fitness and wellness role mode, entrepreneur, wife and mom of three, will provide tips, advice and personal insights for addressing and achieving balance in these areas. Visit project.balance.com for Gabby Reece’s tips & videos on staying balanced.

“One the biggest reasons I see people fail at achieving their health and wellness goals is because they don’t go into a program with a balanced approach,” explains Reece. “I’m thrilled to share my perspective on balancing busy lives, families and work with healthy diet and exercise habits that anyone can incorporate into their lives.”

Balancing Act
Balance is a very fluid goal, as our levels of balance are always fluctuating, even day-to-day and season-to-season. For example, Americans report being the most balanced on Saturdays, and the least balanced on Mondays. They also indicate that they are most balanced during the summer months, and least balanced during the winter months, when 61% of Americans report feeling unbalanced.

Gender Wars
According to the survey, 70% of male respondents indicate that they are more likely to feel balanced, while only 63% of women indicate the same. What are men doing differently? Staying calm. When looking for balance, ladies should take the idea of “don’t sweat the small stuff” to heart. In nearly every area tested, women are more likely than men to admit something has a significant impact on throwing them off-balance, including finances, sleep, health, and family.

Maternal Instinct
A mother’s work is never done, but at least she knows where to focus her attention to find balance. Nearly every single mom agrees that health (99%) and family and personal relationships (99%) are important to achieving balance in life. How can the busy mom get to a Zen state of balance? For starters, get outside. Enjoying nature (67%) and taking vacations (66%) are the top actions that have a significant impact on achieving balance for moms. Spending time with a significant other (63%) was revealed as the next most impactful way for moms to try to achieve balance.
