thinkThin! | deliciously natural nutrition {giveaway $76 value}
I might have mentioned a time or two that we are on track to continue with our healthy eating. My biggest problem? Snacking. I love my snacks. The sweeter and saltier, the better (ie, I love candy and chips!)
But, I’m doing better. One snack that has been hitting the spot is the thinkThin® protein bars. They focus on natural ingredients that support weight wellness and overall health.
They have a ton of protein in them (20g) and are gluten free with no sugar! Did I mention that they taste good? Because they do. The bars do have around 220 calories, so it’s something you have to consider when sitting down to have one. But for the amount of protein and the taste? It’s definitely worth it. Even the girls beg for them for after snacks and often split one because they are tasty and so filling.
The founder Lizanne, developed the bar specifically for herself and her children who suffer from celiacs disease. They contain peanuts, milk, soy, and maltinol, which is a chocolate substitute. All thinkThin® products are based on four key nutritional principles: high protein, no sugar, low sugar and gluten free. The thinkThin® product family consists of ten flavors of thinkThin Protein® Bars to satisfy the on-the-go, active lifestyle; eight flavors ofthinkThinCrunch® a fruit and nut snack bar.
And, you know of our love for Target. You can get the 5-count boxes (exclusive to Target) of thinkThin protein bars (Chunky Peanut Butter, Brownie Crunch and Caramel Fudge varieties) for $6.89
thinkThin would like to give one lucky reader the Weight Wellness Variety Pack (retails for $76)) which holds 10 Creamy Peanut Butter bars, 10 CRUNCH Mixed Nuts bars, 3 boxes of Bites and a thinkThin Water bottle.
*We received a sampling of the protein bars to try. All thoughts are my own.
I stopped eating sugar a year ago due to a sugar allergy (candida). Most of these bars are sugar free so i love them!
To stay on track I need to set a big goal. Paying to be in a race is a huge motivation for me to stay on task.
Eating less calories during the day and not snacking at night before bed! Thanks!
My boyfriend and I hold each other accountable on our diet and exercise resolutions.
I try not to eat refined sugar, focus on eating whole grains and healthy fats instead of the more processed alternatives, and give myself enough time for a good night’s sleep every night!
I pack my snacks the night before so I am not tempted to eat junk at work. I don’t believe in the 100 calorie packs simply becuase of the price, but I do measure everything out so my snacks are between 100-150 calories. I try to focus on foods high in fiber and protein, or I pack fresh fruit and veggies.
Eating less processed food & more real food.
these sound yummy – i will have to go to target and get some
Set small attainable goals and larger goals and reward yourself for achieving them!
I am definitely working on reducing my sugar intake. I participated in a nutritional challenge last year that required to only use stevia as a sweetener. I got used to the taste of it, and now use it in my coffee and other things.
I have been tracking everything I eat and it’s truly been helping.
I try to buy organic and natural foods for my family.
To stay on track don’t eat sugar and snack on healthy foods, if you need to.
This year I’m making a point to eat mostly non-processed, whole foods. I suppose you’d call it “clean” eating. Still, every once in awhile I need a quick fix, and bars like these would be perfect!
Have someone that you can be accountable to!
im currently pregnant but when i’m done i plan on eating super healthy- lots of fruits and veggies
The best thing that keeps me on track is when I keep a record of everything I eat and drink. Thanks for the chance to win!

What helps me stay on track is limiting the snacks that are kept in the house. That’s hard with 3 boys, but if it’s not there I won’t eat it.
The desire to be healthy as a good example for my kiddos is real incentive!
For me, it’s important to write down what I eat.
i just try to do a little each day so i dont feel over whelmed and want to give up
Find healthy foods that are delicious, too (like these!) so that you crave healthy!
Stay healthy by cooking a big batch of something (crock pot chicken, roasted veggies, etc) to have on hand throughout the week!
I bring lots of fresh fruit and veggies to work each monday for snacks and i schedule my workouts and set out my workout clothes the night before
I always have washed and cut veggies on hand for a quick snack. I also plan out my meals the day before so I don’t go off track.
