AllieBar in all its Glory
When the package arrived last night, I dug right in! Both Ryan and I ate an AllieBar before our evening walk with Sadie and fell in love. The bar was sweet, a bit salty and packed full of nuts, fruit and seeds. (Favorite ingredient = Big chunks of pecan)
Pinch of Allie
I knew I just had to have another one for breakfast.
I ate about half of an AllieBar before crumbling the other half on top of some peanut butter and nectarine slices sprinkled with pumpkin pie spice and chia seeds, to make an AllieBar wrap.
Pre-Rolled Wrap
The Goods
So good. I wish I had the recipe for these bars to make them myself, but Allie’s keeping it under wraps because she has plans to sell them one day. Smart girl!
"Gimme More!"
Workout
My workout today included yooooga. Fortunately my mind was relatively quiet until we did a couple of poses that made my hamstrings scream. At that point I went through about five profanities in my mind. Namaste, my friends! 😉
Before yoga, I warmed up my body with 15 minutes on the elliptical and hopped back on the elliptical after class for another 20 minutes.
I came home and took this little girl on a walk before showering, eating breakfast and heading out the door.
"Who? Me?"

I’ve seen Allie Bars on all sorts of blogs too and they sound lovely!! Great idea to stick them in a wrap. I usually crumble bars on top of my fruit and yogurt in the morning – not a super exciting combo but I have yet to get bored! 🙂 Have a great day Julie!
I think I can guess the five profanities…the same ones come up in my head too.
The pecans ARE the best part. I usually start each bar by targeting the pecan spots first. Love the wrap idea!
along with my unhealthy cereal problem, I have a granola issue.
SO, on my immediate to-do list is to make granola bars. maybe if it’s in little nugget form, I’ll be less likely to eat it right out of the box. 😉
special k granola, you’re goin’ down.
Lol… I totally relate to you in this comment, on all levels. I <3 cereal!!!!!! AAAAAnd granola!
“At that point I went through about five profanities in my mind. Namaste, my friends! ”
I just love you! 😀
That wrap looks delicious! Yay for a quiet mind during yoga!! It stinks when you can’t relax and simply enjoy and feel the poses.
Wooooo AllieBars are the best!! I’ve only tried one, so I’m jealous of your huge stash. Kudos on the quiet mind- that’s always the hardest thing for me in yoga!
I’m so glad that I’m not the only one who occasionally wants to curse during yoga. Props to you for keeping it on the inside!
Ah, thanks for the shout out!!!
I’ve yet to try AllieBars but am DYING too. Allie – if you’re reading – would you consider doing another giveaway in the near future?! 😉
I double that request!
oh I have always wanted to try the alliebar! looks delicious and great idea mixing in in with a wrap!
That Alliebar looks DELICIOUS! I’ve made home made granola bars in the past…but none look that good! Allie if you’re reading…i hope you get to sell these babies one day so we can support your good healthy baking!!!
PS love the idea for the nectarine and pb wrap with alliebar crumble!
Those Allie Bars look fab! With nectarines & peanut butter??? Holy heaven!
Those granola bars look awesome!! What a great idea to crumble it up into a breakfast wrap! =D
so clever to put in a wrap! i have seen her bars all over blogworld- its time she send them overseas!
I’m glad to know that it’s mental profanities are normal during a tough workout 😉
Sweet and salty wins my heart every time…her bars sound amazing!
Those AllieBars look amazing! 😀
Those bars sound delicious!
Nice! Those AllieBars look yummy. I’ve been wanting to make some homemade granola bars. Maybe today will be the day!
Random question…do you wash your hair every day? It looks great – wondered if you had time to style it with your morning workout routine…
haha no, definitely not! i haven’t washed it since tuesday. 🙂 it’s amazing what a little baby powder can do to some greasy hair. i typically wash my hair every other day or about 3x a week.
can i ask how you keep it from getting all gross and sweaty during workouts? I don’t want to wash my hair everyday but feel like I have to after working out.
well, i will always wash if after really sweaty cardio – like intervals or boot camp classes. on days where i just do bodypump, yoga or the elliptical, i don’t sweat that much. if my hair is nasty and sweaty, i’ll definitely wash it!
Glad to know I’m not the only one who doesn’t wash my hair after working out! I mean no one can tell, but this makes me feel a lil better, hehe 🙂
Those bars look so good! I’ve always wanted to try them. Putting them in a wrap sounds tasty!
You’re so lucky to have won AllieBars! They always look so delicious when Allie posts them on her blog!
How lucky of you to win AllieBars! I’ve always wanted to try those. 🙂
Allie- I think it’s time you start selling those bars, you would make a fortune!!!
Love the idea of putting the bar in a wrap, brilliant idea!
Oh yum, I have great things about the Allie Bar 🙂
Mmmm, Allie’s going to be famous someday!
So jealous you won the Allie Bars!! I need to get my hands on those some day!!
what kind of tortillas do you use?
What good looking bars! Looks delicious 🙂
I have been dying to try an Allie Bar! I think while she’s job hunting she should try to start selling those babies!
Those bars sounds super good… hopefully she sent you a bunch so that they’ll last a while!
I have been fortunate enough to have a few batches of AllieBars in my mouth. THEY ARE THE BEST BARS EVER.
I’ve heard only good things about those bars. Love the idea to put them in a wrap!
Those bars looks great.
