I am SO excited to host this review and giveaway! Thats because this is supporting my friend, Bethany and her wonderful venture into sharing her passion for healthy raw food with the world! Bethany is a mother to two beautiful daughters, and her oldest daughter-- we share a name (Isabella Rose) :) So she obviously has GREAT taste ;) Anyway, we have a lot in common in terms of leading a healthy lifestyle, and she has sparked my interest in eating raw. She feeds her family this way as well, including her little girls and is an amazing cook! She started making this raw granola bars for her friends and family, and they have taken off and she is now in the process of getting them into local grocery stores and offering them to all of you!!
I had the wonderful pleasure of trying this raw bars first hand. And let me tell you-- they are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! So yummy, totally hit the spot and completely portable. And when you think about raw food, you don't normally think of it being easy. The RawWay Bars are going to totally change the way that the world sees raw food... and help us all eat healthier!
What is eating raw exactly you ask? These bars are made with all natural, WHOLE foods. They are not processed. Only whole food ingredients, fresh food are used. A dehydrator is then used to dry out the fruits and veggies and to keep the food fresh and so its able to be packaged. There are no artificial sweetners, and these bars are also 100% certified Vegan. How cool is that?!
The flavors of the bars currently include Lean Green Crunch, Banana Bread, Cinnamon Almond, Homemade Apple Pie, and Berry Sweet. I got to try Lean Green Crunch, Cinnamon Almond and Berry Sweet for myself.
All 3 flavors were extremely flavorful and totally worked for me for a mid-morning post workout snack. The nutritional component of these bars are exceptional as well. Each bar is right around 200 calories and about 10g of protein. She uses agave for a natural sweetner and the crunch of the bars is also very satisfying. One thing I found completely fascinating as well was the Lean Green flavor. This bar includes Spirulina, a tiny aquatic plant that is a vegetable that has more protein than soy, more vitamin A than carrots, more iron than beef, amazing amounts of protective phytochemicals, naturally low fat and is a wonderful source of GLA, an essential fatty acid. WOW! Thats ALOT of nutrition in one little plant... and RawWay's Lean and Green bar has it for you! And for the record-- it does not taste like algae :)

Beginning this year my husband started eating very healthy. I have been trying to follow suit and have managed fairly well, but not as well as he. Snacks are my downfall. These bars sound delicious and would help with my poor snacking choices.
Because granola bars are my guilty pleasure. Yes, I am aware they are not exactly healthy but at least when they're vegan, I won't have the extra nastiness.
I'm always looking for yummy snacks to add to my husbands lunch. He's tired of chips and this just sounds perfect for him!

I am currently eating a raw food diet and have not heard of these or tried them. I would love to win. I subscribed to your blog.
The homemade apple pie flavor would be my pick- the old saying "an apple a day keeps the doctor away" has some truth to it- because apples are extremely nutritious!writer61@yahoo.com
They look great and I've never tried anything Vegam before.

I like to try new foods
I have three small children, so I rarely have time to sit down and enjoy a meal. I will often use a protein bar or a granola bar as a meal replacement, and I am always on the lookout for healthier and tastier ones. These RawWayLIfe bars look like they would fit the bill in both areas.

I am always looking for an easy, healthy snack to take to work,
One of my daughters is vegan and very very busy with work and school. These would be a great way for her to keep to her diet and be able to eat while on the go.
I would like to try these because they sound like a easy snack that is also good for you. Most granola bars are processed garbage.
Would love to try the berry flavor - I'm looking for a quick new breakfast idea and these sound wonderful. Will also participate via Twitter :)
These would be perfect to take to school. I would eat them between classes.
I've been trying to eat healthy and these bars would really help out.
Thanks!
I usually have a snack around 3 pm each day and these sound like an ideal choice.

When I got cancer back after a 7 year remission I tried going raw foods as one doctor said I would never beat it unless I went raw. I tried for about 2 weeks. Challenging! Anything to contribute towards good health. I've been cancer free 3 years now.
