GoMacro review + 2nd Giveaway!!

I went to the shoe store, tried on many shoes, and ended up picking up these babies.

I went to a local running store a few minutes away from house. The people were so helpful, they let me run around and see how they felt. I’m so glad I listened to you all and didn’t order online!

Anyways the lovely folks over at GoMacro kindly sent me some products for review and a GIVEAWAY.

This company has an amazing story. To put it shortly Amelia Kirchof (one of the owners) was diagnosed with cancer. Instead of using many drugs for treatment she chose a whole food based vegan and macrobiotic lifestyle. Today she lives cancer free.

How awesome is that? I’m a firm believer that food can be medicine and can heal you, this is proof right here!

GoMacro bars are:

Organic, gluten free, macrobiotic and vegan.

They contain NO:

Soy, egg, dairy, wheat, GMO’s, preservatives, or hydrogenated oils.

Another plus? Their boxes are made from recycled wood pulp and are biodegrable as well.

So this company pretty much rocks right? Well how do the bars taste?

Disclaimer: Good or bad these reviews are based on my OWN opinion. yadayada.

This sucker had 13 grams of protein. Not to bad for a bar eh? It had a very peanut butter cookie like taste that I really enjoyed .

This one had a slight chalky texture that I’m not sure where it came from. I did enjoy the carmely flavor the texture was just a bit off for me.

This was my favorite! It was just like a granola bar. Soft and chewy and just perfect! The coconut tasted toasted and delicious and the teeny bit of raisins added were delightful. This bar gets a 10.

Banana Almond. This one had a strong banana-y flavor with the right hint of cinnamon. The banana’s and almond paired together great!

Alright, so for the giveaway.

1 lucky reader will recieve an entire box full of assorted GoMacro bars with more flavors than even the ones I reviewed!

Plus four cupouns.

4 Ways to enter!

  • Follow @GoMacro & @myveganstory (me) on twitter
  • Tweet “@myvegan story is giving away an entire box of @GoMacro bars! http://bit.ly/mUN6Hi”
  • Mention and link back this giveaway in a post
  • Name something you would like to see more of on my blog

Don’t miss your chance! This is open to EVERYONE. I will announce the winner on Wednesday May 4! (5/4/11)
