Another Starbuck's Treat

Last week when I posted about Lucy's Vegan cookies being available at Starbucks (whoo!), I had said that it took me several trips to actually discover them because the display was behind me in the store. Bianca mentioned that a Starbucks she visited also carried something called Two Moms in the Raw Granola Bars. Maybe this is a lesson in expanding my horizons, literally, because when I went back to Starbucks this week I discovered these raw snacks sitting just next to the Lucy's bags! At a slightly pricey $4 a pop, my options were Gojiberry or Blueberry. I went with Goji and was really delighted!

It took me a second to realize that this is what a "granola bar" should be - not those glorified candy bar fake-s'more marshmallow-nasty high fructose corn syrupy snacks. What I really love about these bars is that they are totally handmade - the bag boasts that the company soaks, sprouts, and rinses every batch. They are vegan, raw, gluten-free, no added oils, no refined sugars, and completely organic. Best of all, the company is run by women who are mothers themselves and looking to find health and wellness through pure, healthy, delicious food.

Ingredients: Organic Millet, Organic Buckwheat, Organic Coconut, Organic Flaxseed, Organic Sunflower Seeds, Organic Sesame Seeds, Organic Pecans, Organic Almonds, Organic Pepitas, Organic Apples, Organic Goji Berries, Organic Agave, Organic Cinnamon, and Sea Salt.

I know that there are a thousands upon thousands of healthy snacks I can make for myself at home, but it's always so exciting to me to have the option of a healthful vegan snack on-the-go. Especially one that's good for you!

What are your favorite vegan convenience snacks?
