Congratulations to Linda, the winner of the Rise Bar giveaway! Thanks to everyone for participating, this was by far the most successful giveaway we’ve had here on Healthful Pursuit. Stay tuned in a for another tasty giveaway that will be open for everyone to join!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ohhhh what do we have here?
Why it’s a variety box of gluten-free certified, GMO-free, peanut-free wholesome snack bars! Finally, a variety box that I can eat in it’s entirety without leaving the 4-6 peanut flavored bars behind.
I feel like I’ve cheated the system and it feels glorious!
Here’s a brief overview of Rise Bars:
- There are 3 kinds: breakfast bars (light snack), energy+ bars (added energy in the form of organic tapioca and brown rice syrups) and protein+ bars (whey)
- Due to the use of honey and whey, only the energy+ bars are vegan
- The whey used in their protein+ bars is derived from whey made with Kosher vegetable rennet and is 100 percent vegetarian
- Rise Bar lightly toasts their nuts and seeds so the bars aren’t 100% raw, but are pretty close
- All of the ingredients in the energy+ bars are organic
So, what did I think when I bit into my first bar?
- Crunchy Perfect Pumpkin rocks my world
- They’re light, not too dense
- The packaging is pretty. I’m a sucker for packaging.
- Didn’t like how the dried cranberries contained sugar
- Enjoy the vast array of ingredients in each bar. They don’t just contain dates!
- Energy+ work great as a pre-workout or a during workout snack
- Protein+ is jam packed with protein (17g) and still under 300 calories
The flavors…
Rise Breakfast Bar
They have amaranth crisps in them that make them higher in protein but do have honey, so they’re not safe for vegans.
- Crunchy Cashew Almond
- Crunchy Cranberry Apple
- Crunchy Honey Walnut
- Crunchy Macadamia Pineapple
- Crunchy Perfect Pumpkin
Protein+ bars
17g or protein but in the form of whey so it’s not safe for the dairy-free folk out there but a great option for those that can handle their whey!
- Almond Honey
- Crunchy Carob Chip (hubba hubba!)
Energy+ bars
Certified organic, vegan and dairy-free bar with brown rice and tapioca syrups and amaranth.
- Apricot Goji
- Blueberry Coconut
- Cherry Almond
- Coconut Acai
- Raspberry Pomegranate
The giveaway

- One 12 pack of Rise Bars, you get to choose the flavor!
1 winner will be selected!

Mmmmmm the crunch carob chip sounds good!!
It’d be a tough decision between Crunchy Carob Chip or Blueberry Coconut. Both sound delicious!!
These sound great! What is the sugar content? That pumpkin flavor caught my eye!

I just followed you on pinterest [and can't believe I haven't done this already...]!
I think they all sound great. if i got a box like you did I would’ve had some serious issues bc i would’ve opened each flavor and tried them all in one sitting bc patient is just NOT in my vocabulary.
the honey walnut sounds good but so does the macadamia pineapple – the packaging is adorbs, i think everyone is a sucker for packaging they just don’t admit it
Favorite flavor? I honestly don’t think I could choose just one…maybe the Crunchy Carob Chip? Or the Crunchy Perfect Pumpkin? Wait maybe the Apricot Goji…I think I would need to see the nutritional facts haha that’s how I do all my tie breakers in the grocery store!
I’m so happy to hear I’m not the only one that does that! The one that has more fiber, less sugar is always a winner in my books!
You had me at pumpkin! I think the Crunchy Perfect Pumpkin would probably be my favorite…though I am an equal opportunist.
Mmmm…carob chip or coconut acai sound great!
Just followed you on Pinterest!
Oh! And I liked you on fb
Crunchy Carob Chip please!
This is seriously an awesome giveaway! I’ve never seen those bars before so I’d be so excited to try one. But ohhh, the flavors?! How could I pick just one!? Pumpkin, carob chip, apricot goji, blueberry coconut, coconut acai, macadamia pineaple!??!?! I take FORever at making decisions when it comes to things like this, that’s why I go to the grocery store ALONE haha, otherwise I frustrate whoever is with me

The Apricot Goji flavor sounds soooo yummy!
What a fantastic find! I’ve recently been having some problems with my digestion, which I am puzzling out right now by eliminating allergens from my diet – such as gluten, dairy, eggs, meats, soy, added/artificial sweeteners… A gluten-free, non-GMO, vegan, soy-free granola bar is like the holy-grail of snack foods! I think that the Blueberry Coconut sounds particularly scrumptious.
Thank you for sharing!
I’m a sucker for anything coconut, so bring on the energy bars!

My palate is ready for summer, so Crunchy Macadamia Pineapple sounds amazing! Almond Honey also sounds delicious.
I have been a long-time email subscriber, and always love it when suddenly a delicious giveaway appears in my inbox upon waking!
I’m most interested in the Perfect Pumpkin – I was just at the store yesterday and couldn’t find any sort of pumpkin (I was rushing a bit though), only sweet potatoes in cans. I’m ready for those hearty squashes all year long!

The Crunchy Honey Walnut variety sounds the tastiest to me!
