Life of Blyss

I know you all know how my life is right now. I’m a busy, busy bee. As I’ve been gearing up to move to Richmond, VA to open our TidalWheel Richmond studio, life has been even crazier than normal. My business has lead to a serious downfall in my diet. Because I’m so busy, half the day, I forget to eat, and then I’m starving by dinner and want to stuff myself. You know that feeling? The bottomless pit feeling? That’s me, every day. And all the spinning isn’t exactly helping. I have, however, found a pretty great snack to keep at work with me to keep my metabolism revving throughout the day. Have you guys heard of Edy’s Outshine bars?

It’s possible that when you think of Edy’s, you may not realize they make a real fruit product. They DO! And it’s AWESOME. Truth be told, I haven’t always been a huge popsicle fan. The artificial flavoring does nothing for me. But Outshine bars, on the other hand, taste like frozen fruit on a stick. I’m a little obsessed, and I’m more than glad I snagged several flavors when Edy’s granted me the opportunity to receive this product at no cost for a review. All of these, of course, are my own thoughts and opinions.

Outshine bars never fail to add a little sunshine to my day. I have not yet taken a day off from my new job (I know). I’ve been a little stressed and stretched pretty thin, but one morning last week, the sun was shining and I got up extra early to read my book outside. As I tried to relax with my book, I tried a strawberry Outshine bar.

And then I had a wildberry bar 5 minutes later. I could say “Sorry I’m not sorry” here, but really, there is no reason to be sorry. Those little bars specifically are 40 calories a pop (ha, no pun intended), so it’s no big deal to have 2. Or 6.

But I did cap it at 2 in that sitting. And I wasn’t all sugared up and feeling unsatisfied like I typically do with a frozen snack. With Outshine bars, you can experience 24 ways to make every day a little brighter and more delicious. So you see how I had a hard time choosing which flavors to indulge in when I picked these up from my local Farm Fresh. I grabbed a variety box of strawberry, lime, and wildberry alongside boxes of pineapple, açai blueberry, and coconut waters with pineapple.

I mean, come on. Check out the nutritional values and the ingredient lineup. They speak for themselves.

Which is why these trusty little bars have allowed me to snack brighter at work. I brought the açai berry bars in to keep in the freezer for a mid-day healthy snack to share with my staff members, and they have been an absolute hit. So, for me, the definition of snacking brighter has been having a fruity popsicle at work and getting everyone at work to like me.

Jaq, one of our instructors, was obviously pretty pumped about the Outshine bars.

My most favorite flavor is the pineapple bar, although it’s hard to pick just one. The real fruit flavor is hard to beat, and it easily transports my brain to a tropical location. Even though I’m typically in my kitchen, at work, or in my backyard. Not so tropical in reality, but the Outshine bar makes it a happier place.

Obviously, after just trying Outshine bars, I’m a big fan. They help me stay on track, they make my friends, staff members, and me snack healthily, and just looking at the packaging makes me happy.

Maybe I’m just easy to please, but maybe these are kind of perfect.

Check Outshine out on Facebook. Their photo posts alone brighten my day, and whenever I see them in my news feed, I want a real fruit bar. Pronto. Seriously, I’m now looking through the photos in this post with a watering mouth. I need to go grab an Outshine bar. Now, you tell me. How would Edy’s Outshine bars brighten your day? Those who go to the Edy’s Outshine bars website and tell me where they’d enjoy their favorite flavor of Outshine bar will be entered to win a $100 Visa gift card. Not too shabby, huh? Go snag some bars and outshine the business in your life.
