WIN-It-Wednesday: Attune Probiotic Chocolate Bars
I’m super excited about Attune Probiotic Chocolate Bars being this week’s sponsor of BeFreeForMe WIN-It-Wednesday. I’m excited because these bars not only taste good… but they are good for you too!
After getting diagnosed with celiac disease I have become extra diligent about my overall health. The day after my diagnosis I decided to embrace the gluten-free diet and use it as a starting point of living a healthier and happier life. This is why I love finding products that are a healthier alternative to foods I enjoy the most… and chocolate is at the top of this list!
The secret behind the rich, chocolaty Attune bars is that they are packed with probiotics. And in case you’re wondering, probiotics protects our bodies from harmful bacteria, strengthens our intestinal walls and helps digest fiber in our diets, so that we are able to absorb the nutrients in the foods that we eat. So, basically, these are chocolate bars that are good for you… Yes, a dream comes true!
The gluten-free Attune bars come in four different flavors: Dark Chocolate (which is my favorite), Milk Chocolate Crisp, Mint Chocolate and Blueberry Vanilla.
Attune bars are a perfect snack to get your digestive tract on the right track – especially for those folks, like celiacs, that are concerned about overall digestive health. Plus, Attune Foods is a proud sponsor of The Celiac Disease Foundation and is committed to educating consumers & raising awareness about celiac disease and how it affects overall digestive health. Attune Bars are not only good for celiacs, but they are doing good for us too.
Just in time for New Year’s resolutions to get healthy and fit (did I mention these bars are only 80 to 90 calories each?), Attune Foods is offering FIVE (yes, 5!) LUCKY BeFreeForMe members a month’s supply of Attune gluten-free probiotic bars!
How can you WIN?

I am going to start eating much healthier again. I lost about 30 pounds last year, but stopped while I tried to adjust to being gluten free. Now that I’ve found different options and recipes, it’s back on the diet to take some weight off. It took a bit of adjusting since many gluten free products pack in fat to make food taste normal. I just had to find some healthier options.

I am packing a fresh fruit and vegetable in my lunch every day.
January 12th, 2010 at 10:08 pm
I am starting off the new year with a 21 day fast!
January 12th, 2010 at 11:43 pm
I’ve been trying to eat even more natural and organic in the new year!
January 13th, 2010 at 7:15 am
In addition to eatting healthy all around, we are eatting out a lot less, we used to eat out mutiple times a week now we are trying to cut it down to once or twice a month. I am also trying to work out every other day
January 13th, 2010 at 7:50 am
i am counting calories and exercising more to keep myself healthy!
January 13th, 2010 at 7:55 am
My goal for the new year is to drop the ten pounds I’ve gained since have healed and begun to absorb again after my initial diagnosis of celiac. I am trying to erase my mind set of deprivation on the gluten free diet and embrace it a better attitude. Wish me luck (:.

I have been eyeing these bars for a few weeks and would love to try them! The number one thing I am doing this year for my health is trying to manage my stress levels better. I am seeing a counselor to learn to express myself better and try to let go of things I can’t control. I am also working on better meal planning and cooking more whole foods for every meal. And less snacking after dinner — truly my downfall!
January 13th, 2010 at 9:04 am
Get more exercise and do strength training. Just take care of myself!
January 13th, 2010 at 10:21 am
I am eating totally gluten free and even though my family isn’t celiac, they eat it too. They love Acai juice and Keifer and organic yogurt. I exercise three times a week at the YMCA with Pilates being my favorite.
Thanks so much,

I have been focusing solely on eating GF and trying to get healthy. I finally feel well enough to move forward and get back to exercing on a regular basis.
January 13th, 2010 at 12:21 pm
I am trying to buy organic foods when I can!
January 13th, 2010 at 12:25 pm
This year I am working on managing my stress levels. I have made plans with an old friend to have coffee once a week, and plan on taking some time for myself to simply relax.
January 13th, 2010 at 12:49 pm
im working out an extra day this year
January 13th, 2010 at 12:52 pm
I’m walking more with my dog and cutting down on red meat.
January 13th, 2010 at 3:16 pm
I have made a commitment to myself this year to be a healthier happier me! I have been working out, counting calories and recommitted to a gluten free lifestyle. The end of last year was a hard one for me. I just got sick of always having to be aware. I realized that I am not the kind of gal that thrive with her head burried in the sand. I actually bought a gluten filled hamburger yesterday out of weakeness…knowing I would pay for it in the end with my health. I ended up giving it to a coworker who forgot her lunch and eating the gluten free lunch I packed. May seem silly to you. But that was HUGE for me. : )

I am trying to be healthier by stretching. I have been having back issues and have found an exersize ball works wonders! Not only for stretching but working out my muscles also!
January 13th, 2010 at 3:43 pm
I’m trying to eat a LOT healthier and shop the perimeter of the grocery store only when possible.
Additionally I’ve added an additional day at the gym each week! (Healthy chocolate sounds like a great reward!)
January 13th, 2010 at 4:20 pm
To be healthy this year, I am eating healthy and focusing on what and who are positive in my life and release all negative people, activities, thoughts and ideas. I choose peace, love and joy and surround myself with those who are like-minded. I celebrate all the good in my life and show my gratitude for all that I have. When I focus on the good, nothing else matters.
January 13th, 2010 at 8:09 pm
To eat healthy and to exersize 5 days a week.
January 13th, 2010 at 9:25 pm
I am trying to eat better and healthier, washing my hands constantly, and trying to get more sleep. I am also trying to look at life in a more positive way and to leave behind all the negative feelings and problems. Enjoying my family more and taking more breaks to enjoy life-reading a book, holding my dog, watching mindless TV with my family, and just laughing more!
January 13th, 2010 at 9:58 pm
I am getting more healthy by watching my diet, eating healthy foods, and exercising daily on my eliptical trainer which my husband gave me for Christmas!
January 14th, 2010 at 9:15 am
For the new year, I want to start back after having surgery with my water aerobics classes and back to working out again. I am looking forward to trying these Attune bars – chocolate and probiotic too!
January 14th, 2010 at 10:40 am
I’m utilizing my Wii Fit Plus program. It’s great for the whole family. I’m also taking advantage of our subdivision clubhouse water aerobics class. It’s nice to be gaining strength instead of losing it.
As a newly diagnosed celiac, I’m focusing on staying gluten-free. The healthy choices are coming more easily with each week.
January 14th, 2010 at 10:42 am
I started going to the gym Monday through Thursday mornings. Friday through Sunday I use my new Wii fit and go dancing.
January 14th, 2010 at 5:21 pm
This year I will call every manufactor to make sure the food is GF.
Last year or first year of GF, I messed up 4 times. 2 times that never would have happened if I had called first.
January 14th, 2010 at 10:23 pm
Push ups, crunches and no excuses.
January 14th, 2010 at 10:58 pm
We are making a big change to our diet going Gluten free this year. We also plan on doing more and more on our Wii Fit this year 🙂
And this chocolate looks so YUMMY!!
January 15th, 2010 at 10:20 am
I have made a commitment to myself to continue to incorporate even more clean, whole foods into my GF, healthy diet and focus less on foods that lack any nutritional value.
January 15th, 2010 at 11:31 am
I am making an effort to not eat past 8 pm! I workout everyday but always self sabotage while watching my DVR shows after 8 pm.
January 15th, 2010 at 2:07 pm
Well, after many years of watching my children grow up without much quality time with me (because I always felt so sick) I was finally diagnosed with celiac disease. It is weird to actually be happy to hear that the doctors have determined you have a disease 🙂 but at least it is something I can do something about. So, this year, I am embarking on a gluten-free diet. I have a lot to learn! But armed with this website, and my “Gluten Allergies For Dummies” book, I hope to be on a much healthier and, in turn, much happier life with my children. I have a lot of lost time to make up for, but believe that once I feel better with this new diet that I will be ready to meet the challenge. Thanks for reading.

This year I am going to make smart choices when it comes to snacking. I am looking forward to trying the Attune snack bars. The right food choices along with exercising has improved my life greatly.
January 17th, 2010 at 4:40 pm
I plan on eating more organic food and not as much processed junk that makes me feel so awful!
January 18th, 2010 at 9:48 pm
I am trying to eat more fruits and vegetables. I have already cut my red meat intake to almost never.
January 19th, 2010 at 10:33 pm
I would like to include more probiotics in my diet for the new year.
