UPDATE: This giveaway is now closed. We will announce the winners soon! bk
I’m a foodie, and as such you can probably assume that I’m not as trim as I could be. I don’t go to the gym, pump iron or really even move all that much (which is about to change with a new project [Healthy Blake]).
I do own a really nice treadmill, and every once in a while I replace a daily meal with a protein shake. Sometimes I even replace a meal with a nutrition bar, which brings us to YouBar.
Let me start by saying that I probably wouldn’t have been interested in YouBar if it was just another protein bar, but they’ve put a very innovative spin on the concept by letting people like you and me build our own bars.
They sent me a sample pack that included Honey Cashew, Breakfast Bar and Great Date With Chocolate. The Breakfast Bar had a strong coffee flavor, and not much chocolate. It was dense, spongy and a little sticky which made it my least favorite of the three.
I didn’t expect to like Great Date With Chocolate, but it was really good. It tasted a little like chewy chocolate fudge with maybe a little dark cherry. There was a little Fig Newton action going on as well (this was my co-workers’ favorite).
Honey Cashew (pictured left) was my hands down favorite. It tasted like this honey fudge I got from the Farmer’s Market a while back, but with a lot of cashewiness…like a whole lot. It was firm, but crumbled and melted the moment I bit-in.
Now, I happen to love cashews. When I was in college, I always talked about starting a company that made cashew peanut butter, and (of course) I called it, Cashutter.
Anyways, I’m actually nibbling on a Honey Cashew bar as I write this post. I’m glad I am because I forgot about the little bits of crispy rice that add a surprising, mousy little crunch.
Each of these bars is around 150 calories, and contain 8 grams of fiber. Sound good? Heard enough? Want some? OK!
Here’s another Blake Makes Giveaway! We’ve got 50 sample packs (each containing 6 bars) to give away! Comment on this post for your chance to win! Power to the people!

YouBar, MeBar, I want a YouBar. I am always looking for a new, delicious, low-cal engery bar. I also need something new to blog about. I would love to taste that honey, fudgy goodness!! Pick me!!
Sooper, Yes!!
US resident, Yes!!
These sound so good and I definitely qualify! Maybe these would jump start my “healthy lifestyle” change! I’m trying to incorporate healthier food and these sound like a great way. There are some protien bars I like and then there are some that are (in my opinion) horrible. I would love a chance to review these!
I’ve recently been working to add more balance to my life via a relatively new job (barely over a year), a new residence (from condo to house), and a new perspective (enjoy each day and all that). I started getting weekly local organic fruit & veggie deliveries — a “sooper” thing if I do say so myself — and have been learning what to do with all sorts of items I haven’t normally cooked with (e.g. kale). Its all part of my quest to be healthier & happier. Some awesome bars with lots of fiber sound like a kick-a$% addition to the mix (please??)…
Whew, I remembered to check my junk folder, and there was your email. I fit all the criteria, and I would love to try these!
Yes, please.
YOU-bar for ME?
I admit, I still need to blog about the last give-away…but it’s coming… SOON! The only reason it’s not up yet is because the chocolate came in the mail while I was on vacation. So, my friend picked up the package for me…and she needs to give it to me yet! I’m afraid she’s been nibbling on the goods!
Summer’s a perfect time to get healthy. What better way to start than with a YOU-bar?
1. I’m a membah!
2. NYC gal who wishes she lived in some far-off land…like umm…I’ll let you know when I picked a random city on the map
3. I have a blog that I share with my crazy spouse (he’s the HAM in our most recent pizza post). Oh and I like doing product reviews
4. Of course, I’ll link back to both sites.
I could have used one of those bars this morning. I just had a crappy omelet from the work cafeteria. Counting down to indigestion in T minus 10…9…8…OWWWWWW!
i’m soooooo sad i missed out on this
i guess i misread the sooper secret email – i thought you were going to post at midnight on tues, not midnight on monday, and leave it open for 24 hrs (i thought it was from midnight tues until midnight wed). sooooo bummed. i really really wanted to try some you-bars – the combinations sound so great and i was pumped to introduce the concept of these on my blog 
oh, well…there’s always next time….
Great blog! I’m always up for new recipes. I found your blog thru another link. I’m new to the Blogosphere–please stop by sometime!
I knew I should have commented.
