Belly Bar Review and Giveaway
This giveaway is now closed. Congratulations to commentor #26: Cass!
My new little guy, Noah, made his appearance on St. Patrick’s Day! And a week later I got these yummy bars in the mail by Bellybar. Some say they are for pregnant mamas, but I think they’d be good anytime! The bonus for those still pregnant is all the nutrients, specifically DHA, that these bars contain help with your pregnancy.
Bellybar makes 4 yummy flavors of snack bars as well as 2 flavors of Bellybar Chews and 2 flavors of shakes. 
I received Mellow Oat, Baby Needs Chocolate, and Berry Nutty Cravings. They were all delicious (I had to share them with my 3 year old!), but the Berry Nutty Cravings was my favorite!
Each bar is good sized and has a yogurty coating on one side for that little bit of sweetness. While I wouldn’t say it made a meal, for this nursing mama they made a great snack between meals!
I also received some Citrus Bellybar chews – I think these would be really good if you had morning sickness – and a Due for Chocolate shake. I’m not a milkshake fan, but even warm it was good. Yes, I had to drink it as we were walking home from the post office!
You can buy all these products from the Bellybar website or look up a store near you that carries them.

I think they sound both good tasting (yogurt coating) and good for you!
I like all the vitamins and the energy you can get from these bars.

I learned from the website that the Walgreens that I shop at carries these bars!
I learned that I can “Boost [my] metabolism by up to 3% by drinking 8 glasses of water every day” – and by eating an afternoon snack {like the BellyBar}. Sounds good to me!

I just found out I’m pregnant, and I’ve been looking for healthy snacks! This is perfect because it is directed towards pregnant woman. This would really help me as getting healthy calories is going to be the hardest part right now.

I learned that these products are rich in Omega-3 . This is important for all of us pregnant or not.
I learned a little something about Vitamin A in the FAQ’s:
Vitamin A is important for aiding cell and organ development in the fetus. Many women are slightly deficient in Vitamin A, thus requiring a low level of supplemental Vitamin A.

Old Facebook fan of Belly Bar,
When you don’t get the nutrition you need, your baby doesn’t get it either. Bellybar can help you get the nutrients and extra calories you need. Bellybar comes packed with extra dietary vitamins and minerals, which are derived from natural ingredients such as flaxseed for Omega 3 fatty acids.

These are available at Target and Walgreens!
I learned that they created flavors that were not overpowering, to suit the sensitive palette of the pregnant woman (Mellow Oat!).
I learned that “The sweetness in Bellybar primarily comes from brown rice syrup, which is 50% complex carbohydrate, and is therefore absorbed more slowly into the bloodstream than refined sugar.”

Vitamin A is important for aiding cell and organ development in the fetus. Many women are slightly deficient in Vitamin A, thus requiring a low level of supplemental Vitamin A. Beta-carotene, the Vitamin A source in Bellybar, is a water soluble, natural source that is converted to Vitamin A in the body. The body converts the amount of Vitamin A needed, and excretes any excess.
