LUNA bars are now gluten-free!

Disclosure: This post is sponsored by LUNA Bar. I was sent a sampler pack to review for a paid campaign.  As always all opinions and thoughts are my own!

Many thanks to LUNA Bar for sponsoring today's post and creating delicious gluten-free snacks. 

I've always been a fan of LUNA Bars because they are delicious, snack-sized, and found everywhere these days!

Now that gluten-free is a huge trend, you see brands just slapping the gluten-free label on foods, which makes some people think they are healthy. Gluten is just a mixture of two proteins that some people are allergic or sensitive to (source). Now I see junk food that happens to not contain gluten advertising that they are gluten-free as a marketing strategy. I try to limit gluten in my diet because it seems to help with my digestive issues, but even I know eating Cocoa Pebbles for breakfast isn't healthy (even though it's yummy!).

LUNA bars have made all of their regular line gluten-free. You can recognize these bars by the pink gluten free label on their new packaging which is just arriving in stores.  Check out all of their flavors here-my favorites are the caramel nut brownie and chocolate peppermint stick bars.  LUNA also sent me one of their newer flavors, chocolate cupcake, and it was tasty!

Their protein line had already been gluten-free and LUNA Bars have never contained wheat or other major sources of gluten, but they tweaked their ingredients to help out those who are strictly gluten-free so they could enjoy LUNA bars too.  

Such consideration was surprising to me!  The oats used in the bars are now certified gluten-free so that you can be sure the oats are not cross-contaminated with gluten during processing. The other thing changed was a few add ins that contained gluten such as the cookie pieces in the chocolate peppermint stick flavor now being reformulated to be gluten-free.   

LUNA Bars are one of my favorite gluten-free snacks on the go. Besides being low enough in calories to be a snack, they contain no artificial flavors or synthetic preservatives, have a low glycemic index, and contain 9-10 g of protein. I love keeping one in my gym bag for a pre- or post-workout healthy snack. I've been keeping a bar in my purse when I'm travelling or out holiday shopping in case hunger strikes. Let's be honest, I'm always hungry so I don't want to travel without provisions!

Lucky for you, LUNA bar is giving one of my readers the chance to win a sample of their new gluten-free bars.
