If you’re looking for a bar that is packed with pure, whole ingredients (and no B.S.!) than look no further than RX Bars.

These bars have become one of my favorites for mid-day snacks, or a quick breakfast on the run. Packed with protein and pure, whole foods these bars are a powerhouse of nutrition.

I love that you just need to look at the outside of each bar’s wrapper to find out what the bar is all about… No B.S. here. =)

RX Bars also have no added sugar, dairy, soy or gluten. They are also Paleo friendly. Some of the flavors include: Chocolate Sea Salt, Peanut Butter, Chocolate Chip, Blueberry and Mixed Berry.

There will be two winners of this Win-It-Wednesday. Each of the two winners will receive a Peanut Butter RX bar.
