I'm so excited to write this blog and review a really great product!
Let me give you a little background on CORE Foods, in case you've never heard of them.
On a quest to get to the bottom of human nutrition, our founder Corey Rennell trained with elite athletes, researched the biology of food and lived with 12 tribes from around the world. Remarkably, he discovered the most profound and consistent things we know about nutrition are REALLY SIMPLE. At CORE, we apply this enduring wisdom to make convenient, healthy, food. Inspired by the inherent reciprocity of the traditional people Corey lived with, CORE Foods is anot-for-profit B Corporation, with 100% of profit being reinvested in food, community, and the planet. We believe that healthy food is a human right and we strive to separate food from profit in the way we do business.
Core Meals are 7 simple ingredients. Whole foods. Organic.
Let me start out by saying, I'm kind of a picky eater. Well, that's what other people call me, I like to refer to myself as a "selective eater". While I can't say I never eat junk food, the bulk of what I eat is nutritious, healthy stuff. I'm a big label reader and a huge organic lover. It wasn't hard to be on-board with CORE foods when given the opportunity to review their products.
I received three bars and since they're perishable, I immediately stuck them in the freezer. One of the biggest dilemmas for me was, When do I eat CORE meals? Is it a meal or is it a snack? These are actually meant to be a portable meal. Take it out of the freezer, let thaw for 10 minutes and enjoy! Always enjoy CORE meals with two glasses of water. This is key.
My first impression was, okay, this is gonna be like every other 'granola bar' I've tried. Trust me, it's not. And isn't even in that category at all. I tasted freshness, wholesomeness, rich flavor. Not a processed taste you get from most bars. This is the real deal. Their flavors include Raw Walnut Banana, Raw Cashew Cacao and Raw Almond Raisin. Very tasty.
The bottom line:
As a fitness enthusiast, long-distance runner and vegetarian, I'm always looking for healthy refueling options. CORE meals will be a go-to for me after long runs, when I'm on the go and need a quick meal and maybe in the future as a pre-workout fueling option. Good quality speaks for itself.
