“I participated in an Influencer Program on behalf of Mom Central for Nutri-Grain. I received product samples and promotional item to thank me for participating.”

pic7Mornings are one of the busiest times of the day- mostly because we have to get everyone going from sleeping to out the door in no time flat.  Usually this is a feat which can be achieved with will power and grace, like a well oiled machine or even a ballet of breakfast.  But there are, of course, those days where the ballet turns into a mosh pit and Slayer is playing.  During these days breakfast turns into ‘grab something on the way out the door’.  This grabbed food can be anything from a piece of fruit to a snack bar.  What it should be is a Nutri-Grain bar, since they are not only delicious but healthy too.  Their most recent addition to the speed breakfast market is the Fruit and Oat Harvest bars.  These bars incorporate the classic Nutri-Grain combination of fruit and granola bar with the crunch of whole grain and the energy of protein as well.

The coffee goes into the small cup and the water goes into the bottom. [Read more…]
