Dare I say it? I think the weather is finally, FINALLY, turning around and warming up. School is winding down and the prospect of having an entire summer season ahead makes me giddy with anticipation.
This summer my plan is to set priorities and live them every day. When I say priorities, I don’t mean a rigorous to-do list or shape-up plan. We’ve all seen the headlines: Beach body this and bikini body that. The pressure is on to scramble to get in shape for beach season and in the process, some of the joy is lost.
My goal is not to look a certain way on the beach but rather to arrive at the starting line of the Berlin Marathon in September healthy and ready to run. I’ll do that by training mindfully, recovering adequately, listening to my body and having fun in the process. However my body looks after honoring it in those ways is A-okay with me.
Reaching my goals requires attention to many things, not the least of which is fuel. While summer can be a time of late nights and indulgent splurges, fresh fruits and vegetables are also in abundance. But sometimes when life gets busy (always) convenience is key. That’s when I’m most grateful for Health Warrior Chia Bars.
Seriously, I find myself reaching for these all the time. I keep them in my purse, in my gym bag and in the car. They’re a 100-calorie snack bar made of superfoods I love and my body needs. These amazing bars are:
- Made with chia seeds – which are naturally high in Omega-3, protein and fiber and keep me feeling satisfied
- Gluten-free
- Dairy-free
- Soy-free
- 100% Vegan
- Only 4-5g sugar
They give me a great energy boost before a workout and are a satisfying afternoon snack at that witching hour when my sweet tooth is tough to control. Best of all, they are chewy and tasty and come in all sorts of delicious flavors.
Health Warrior Chia Bars don’t melt so you can rest assured I’ll be packing some in my plane carry-on when I head to the Utah Valley Marathon as well as when we fly to Dubai this summer.

What are your priorities this summer? How will you make the most of summer without sacrificing your goals? What’s your go-to healthy snack?
I have not tried that kind of bar of yet!
I like your summer to do list 🙂 I made a time goal for running – 4 hours a week…I slow down so much I can’t think about miles too much lol I originally thought 3 hours because the heat kills me, but I am trying to stretch myself 🙂
Summer started here in April!
I was so surprised when I saw these at Target! I think I’d like them. What was your favorite flavor?
These look good and the fact that they don’t melt is a huge bonus! I need to check them out! Summer is a perfect time for fun, adventure, and more fun! Looks like we are throwing in some strength, speed and maybe I will find a new job! Still waiting on baby Luna 🙂
I am always looking for a bars with low sugar I will check those out for sure
Sounds like some great goals for the summer! Good snacks are always important too! 🙂
I hope that you reach your goal and are able to run the marathon! Setting priorities is key!
Love your summer priorities! I’m looking to stay healthy and energized!
I definitely rely on portable snacks throughout the day. These look great!
Just ordered the tropical variety box. Hope they arrive before Utah!!
I LOVE these! Not only are they a great snack, but they provide hours of entertainment getting the chia seeds out of your teeth. 🙂 (seriously, a great distraction on a long bike ride!)
I’m a huge fan of your summer priorities!
I’ve never tried Health Warrior products, but I did receive one of their bars in my StrideBox that I cannot wait to try. They seem like a super smart snack pick!
My summer goals are to have fun and run for fun (after Grandma’s). It’s kind of refreshing to not have a big race lurking, but it’s also a little unnerving to NOT have a big race lurking LOL I do plan to spend as much time outside as possible, though #priorities
I’ve never heard of this before! I’ll have to go look up the brand!
I’d like to try these! i’m adding chia seeds to everything these days! 🙂
What wonderful goals! I’m so excited to watch your journey toward Berlin. Those Healthy Warrior Bars sound yummy!
I’ve heard so much about these bars I can’t believe I haven’t tried them yet!
Like the low sugar content. Wendy mentioned it’s available at Target? May have to try one.
I love these bars! The chocolate ones are definitely my fave!
My friend was just telling me about these bars. I must try!
Those are some perfect priorities for the summer! These bars sound really tasty!
I’m impress they do not melt! I love your priorities for this summer. 🙂
I love your goals. Not everything has to be about we physically look. Feeling good and having fun are more important.
Those bars look good! I like almonds and I snack quite a bit on fruit.
