* RXBAR believes in the power of transparency and lets the core ingredients do all the talking with all of them listed on the front of the packaging. You’d likely recognize RXBAR on a shelf: they’re the ones who have egg whites for protein, dates to bind, nuts for texture and other delicious ingredients like unsweetened chocolate, real fruit, and spices like sea salt or cinnamon. RXBARs are great for a number of occasions like breakfast on the go, snacks at the office, plane or train rides, bike rides or hiking, pre/post workout snacks, and more. RXBARs come in 14 delicious flavors too like Mango Pineapple, Chocolate Hazelnut, Peanut Butter & Berries, Chocolate Sea Salt, Coconut Chocolate, Mixed Berry, Blueberry, Maple Sea Salt, Apple Cinnamon, Mint Chocolate, Chocolate Chip, Peanut Butter, Peanut Butter Chocolate and Coffee Chocolate – & seasonal flavors too! I’ve tried just about all of their flavors at this point and quite honestly they’re ALL delicious. But if I had to choose one personally, I’d say the Chocolate Sea Salt bar is my all-time favorite. But try them all out for yourself and see just how good they really are! Also, RXBAR has just debuted an RX Nut Butter which contains a few simple and similar ingredients like egg whites, fruits, and nuts. Each single serve packet contains delicious, creamy nut butter with 9g of high-quality protein.

* What would it look like if we all… listened more? Listening to audiobooks inspires us, motivates us, even brings us closer. And there’s no better place to listen, than Audible. Audible has the largest selection of audiobooks on the planet, including life-changers like The Power of Now, one of the most powerful self-help books I’ve ever come across. This book literally changed my life, and it was so much easier to absorb it via audio, as opposed to trying to read all of its brilliant concepts word for word. Because even though I LOVE reading, and still do, I’m quite honestly not that fast and can’t absorb as much as I can via audiobooks. And that’s why I love Audible! They’ve got all the best books and stories you could want and make it easy to digest scores of complex topics and ideas that would take exponentially longer if I actually had to read them. Also, Audible members now get more than ever before: each month they get 3 titles of their choice; 1 audiobook, 2 Audible Originals, and fitness programs that they can’t get anywhere else. There’s never been a better time to experience Audible. Try it free for 30 days by visiting audible.com/elite or by texting ‘ELITE’ to 500500. That’s (spell this out) audible.com/elite or by texting (spell this out too) “Elite” to 500500.
