When we want something sweet without all the guilt we reach for these macaroon’s by Emmy’s organics! Usually when the words vegan, raw, and gluten free are used we tend to assume that means they will be blah and flavorless. Well, we were SO wrong! So many flavor choices. We seriously could eat these everyday! Let us also mention the chocolate sauce..you will be shocked at how incredible it tastes! Trust us on this.
Emmy’s Organics is offering 15% off orders through the month of April with promo code: lunchpails
We are HOOKED on these bars! Use as a meal replacement or you can cut in half for a snack, these bars are really great! They are filling, high in protein, they taste fresh and come with either a peanut butter or almond butter base. G2G bars is offering a promo code for 20% off and free shipping on orders of $100 or more. Use promo code: lunchpails at checkout.
Cheers to healthy snacking!
