Health Warrior Chia Bars

I was recently sent a box of Health Warrior Chia Bars to try out.  With each bar containing 1000mg of omega 3s, less than 5 grams of sugar and 110 calories or less, I was definitely intrigued.

I’m pretty selective when it comes to these kind of snack bars, but I absolutely loved the Health Warrior Chia Bars.  The bars were flavorful without being too sweet, and I liked that they were lower in fat than some of the other bars on the market.

All of the bars are gluten-free, dairy-free, and soy-free.  As someone who suffers from a soy allergy, I was happy to see that the Health Warrior Chia Bars were free of any soy protein (they use a plant-based protein instead).

Big thanks to Health Warrior for sending me these bars to try!  I’ll definitely be ordering more of these soon.  If you want to check out these bars for yourself, be sure to visit your local Whole Foods or Sprouts Market.
