Before my review, I'd like to share a snow picture I recently took, since that is still the most prominent feature of the Iowa landscape now :-).
So I've got a few reviews to catch up on :-). Joel from YouBar generously offered to send me a few samples of their bars, trail mixes, and shake mixes to sample and review for my blog. I'll review the YouTrailMixes first since they were my favorite!

Now on to the reviews....
Chocolate Peanut
I give this mix an 8.5 of 10. The best part of it was the freshness - all the ingredients were fresh and crisp! I especially loved the dark chocolate covered raisens :-). The apple bits were quite soft, chewy, and flavorful, but some were really tiny and crumb-like, which was a tad annoying.
Chocolate Trails
This mix gets a 9 of 10. The cheeries were amazingly sweet and tart. And again, all the ingredients were quite fresh.
The Best Trail Mix
This mix gets a 9 of 10. Their M&M-like sun drops were pretty cool, with a uniquely sweetened outside and a great chocolate inside. I did wonder why the berries in this mix were sweetened though, for I didn't think that was necessary considering how sweet the others were just by themselves. Overall, a good experience!
And here's the Deal for You! If you head over to http://www.youbars.com/ and use my code “FoodFotos” you will receive a 5% discount on your order. So if you're thinking you'd like to try them out, now would be a good time ;-).
