Dive Bar Nutrition

I have a lot of favorite foods I can’t wait to review for you guys.

I have been following a high protein, low carb diet.  Nothing super specific, not Keto, or Paleo, or anything like that. 

I just try to be conscious of how many carbs and proteins I eat in a day and I have a goal for those and I try to stay within that goal.  I’m always on the look out for delicious treats that fit in with my macros. 

I’m not perfect with this, I don’t think I’ll ever be, but this has been the easiest plan I’ve ever tried to follow, and I love it!

Because I have so many foods and snacks I want to review I may start a Foodie Faves Friday… how does that sound? 

To start off my first Foodie Faves Friday I want to introduce you to my all time favorite protein/energy bar!

I started seeing some people I follow on Instagram post about this new protein bar they LOVE!!

It has texture like cookie dough (or kind of a taffy texture really), and they have great flavors, AND as if all that isn’t enough, it has caffeine!!

Now I’m not a caffeine addict, however I used to drink Coke Zero, All. The. Time.

I haven’t actually had any Coke Zero, or any soda for that matter since March…

CRAZY!!

While I’m not a caffeine addict, sometimes a little boost of caffeine is needed to help you get through work, or a workout, or just life in general.

So what’s a girl to do when she isn’t drinking soda, and needs a little caffeine boost?

Eat a Dive Bar Nutrition Bar

These bars come in 4 delicious flavors, however admittedly I’ve only tried 3 of the 4… but I’ve heard great reviews of the 4^th ha-ha.

Their 4 flavors are Peanut But Her Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Chip Cookie Though, Trash Can Cookie, and Cookies N Dreams.

I ordered their sample pack which comes with 3 bars of each of the flavors, I’m a big fan of the 3 flavors I tried.  I never tried the peanut butter one because I’m not a huge fan of chocolate and peanut butter (I’m a weirdo, I know).

The bars themselves have a bit of a peanut butter flavor in all of them, but not enough to turn me off.

I love the soft chewy texture; it really does almost make me feel like I’m eating cookie dough.  In fact when I first got them they had been sitting on my front porch for a few hours and were kind of melty and warm. 

It was love at first bite.

I took these with me on my family vacation to Orlando Florida where we spent nearly all day every day at Universal Studios.  I was trying to be as good as possible with my eating while on vacation, but let’s be honest I did still splurge. 

How can you turn down a Butterbeer??

These bars were the PERFECT afternoon pick me up when I needed a little boost of energy to make it through the rest of the day.

While I LOVE these products as far as taste, when I first went to order I was honestly put off by their marketing a bit.  I’m a fairly conservative person and I didn’t like their off the cuff, crude type marketing strategies.

However I kept seeing people post about how delicious they are and decided to just go ahead and order a sample packet to see if I liked any of the flavors.

I’m so glad I did!

Dive Bar Nutrition is a newer (I think), and smaller (for now) company so they are still going through some growing pains. 

I went on their website a few weeks ago to order some more because I realized I was down to my last 2 bars and I’m about to go to Florida again for some more Disney magic fun. 

I was so sad to see when I logged onto their website that they were all sold out.  I figured I’d just have to ration out my last 2 bars and make them last a week at Disney ha-ha. 

I saw someone on my Instagram tag Dive Bar in a post about how sad she was about them being sold out and they responded to her post saying they were sorry but they would have more inventory ready by Labor Day weekend and they would be having a sale for all our patience.

I decided to tag them in a post to let them know I too was sad I missed out on ordering because I had wanted to have some for my Disney trip.

Within minutes of posting that comment I had a DM from Dive Bar Nutrition letting me know they had some bars they could sell me before my trip… they said it would be our little secret… but I guess I’m not too good with keeping secrets because now I’m sharing it with all of you here on my blog… but shhhhh it’s our little secret… right?

I was so shocked and excited that they would reach out to me and offer this deal!  They told me how to order, they even let me customize the flavors I wanted, and they shipped it out to me the very next day!!

I am in love with these bars and I’m a fan of their customer service methods.

If you are looking for a good protein bar that will give you energy for the day check them out, you won’t be sorry!!

Also just for you guys I made sure to get this post up in time for their Labor Day Sale… seriously these things are so delicious go buy some!!

They have some “dessert” bars that I’ve never had a chance to try because they don’t stay in stock very long… And sure enough they are already out of stock again :( One day I'll get to try them.

Make sure to hurry to their website and get yourself some bars before they sell out again!!!

Have you tried Dive Bar? What’s your favorite flavor? If you haven’t tried them which one are you going to order first?
