Thank you to General Mills for sponsoring today’s post. The information, products, and Publix gift cards were provided by General Mills through Linqia, but the opinions are all my own.
If you’ve been following along the past few weeks, then you know I’m on the path to a healthier life, a healthier me. I’m doing everything I can to make that possible by exercising more, distressing, taking time for myself, and of course eating right. February is Heart Health Month, so I thought now is as good as time as any to start focusing there. I can’t live a healthy life without a healthy heart, so it just makes sense, right?
I’m a snacker and sometimes I reach for the closest thing, but sometimes it isn’t the healthiest option. My baby also loves to snack, so I needed something that we both would enjoy and that would keep us on track to living a healthy life. Luckily, Publix has Cheerios™ +Ancient Grains, Gluten Free Chex™ Granola Mix, and Nature Valley® Nut Crisp Bars to help us out.
Regular exercise reduces the risk of heart disease, so I take my babies on jogs with me whenever I get the chance. We take the Nature Valley® Nut Crisp Bars with us. The mix of almonds, roasted sunflower seeds, peanuts, and chocolate make this a must have in my post-workout bag. They even come in handy after going a couple of miles and my little one wants something quick and non-messy to snack on.
When we get hit with a snack attack in the middle of the day, we mix dried cranberries, raisins and Gluten Free Chex™ Granola Mix in a bowl. Foods with whole grains and fruit help lower cholesterol. The flavors of honey and almonds along with the dried fruit satisfy our cravings and they’re super delicious!

Kendra keep up the good work. very proud of your accomplishments…
Apparently bars started trending in the late 70s and were at peak sales on the 80s. Now the traditional ones aren’t selling well cause of the new healthier options.. but i still love this nature valley
It’s still one of my favorites!
