Happy Monday (said no one ever…)! How are you guys enjoying these Q & A Giveaways?? We love the format, as it gives you a chance to learn more about the great companies who will be at Blend, but also gives you the opportunity to WIN some of the goodies that will be in the Blend Swag Bags!
Today, we’re featuring PROBAR, a whole foods company that produces vegan, 100% organic energy and meal bars! Having been involved at Blend 2012, PROBAR was happy to sign on again this year as the HIKE sponsor for Saturday morning! We’re so thrilled to share their bars with each of the attendees before the hike (they’ll be sampling the new “Fuel” PROBAR’s, perfect energy for hiking in Park City!). Please read below and learn a little bit more about this unique company and their raw foods approach!
—————–
Q: How long has PROBAR been around? Can you tell us a little bit about how and why you got started?
A: PROBAR has been around for about 8 years. It started with our founders up on the slopes of Snowbird, Utah. They wanted real food to fuel them while skiing and they just so happen to be vegan chefs so put those two together and voila! You get PROBAR.
Q: What products does PROBAR specialize in?
PROBAR specializes in making simply real food. We keep it vegan, organic, and non-GMO so you know exactly what you are getting. Our most popular bar is our Meal bar but we just came out with a 20g protein bar, Core and organic energy chews, Bolt.
Q: What sets PROBAR apart from your competitors?
A: You can see the difference of a PROBAR by just opening up the package. You’ll notice whole fruits and nuts, but it doesn’t stop there. As soon as you take a bite, the blend of fruits and nuts combine to make a delicious, healthy bar.
Q: We are SO excited to have PROBAR at Blend Retreat. How will you be involved this year?
A: We love being apart of Blend Retreat! This year we are sponsoring the hike so you’ll have fuel to boost you up and down the Park City mountains!
Voted Best Meal Replacement Bar by Shape Magazine!
Q: We are excited to try your products at the retreat! But maybe we don’t want to wait.. so tell us, where can we find your products for purchase?
A: You will be able to find PROBAR at Whole Foods, REI, Sprouts, theprobar.com, and many local health food/outdoor shops. <- Side note: PROBAR is offering FREE SHIPPING on all orders over $75 at their website right now! A great deal!
Q: Is there anything else you would like to tell us about PROBAR?
A: At PROBAR, we love real food, we love what we do, and we laugh everyday!

There aren’t too many places to get in a good hike out in the flat lands of Nebraska, but when I go back to where I grew up in Washington, there is a place called tattoosh ridge…. one of the most beautiful places I have ever hiked.
I gave a shout out to probar on Facebook!
I love hiking/trail running in the Santa Mountains near my home in Southern California. There is no better feelings than climbing these steep inclines and reach the top of a mountain that looks out over the Pacific Ocean! ….I love Pro Bars!
Although I love to go hiking, I don’t do it nearly enough. My favorite place to hike so far has been in the Adirondacks and in Boulder at BLEND last year…even though I got lost coming down the mountain…
well i live in florida so… the beach!!
My favorite hike ever was in Big Sur, California near the bay area. The views were breathtaking and the weather was perfect (low seventies, no humidity)!
I hiked once in Malibu and it was beautiful by the ocean. Would enjoy trying these ProBars at the gym. Thank you!
The BEST place for me is also where I run, in Nisene Marks State Park (Aptos, California) it is beautiful!!!
I tweeted!

My favorite place to hike is the Cleveland Metroparks!
Most of our trail time is done in running shoes or on a bike. We love Buffalo Creek for mtn biking and Green Mtn is a nice, close to home place to run!
I tweeted! @runaroundaroo
Rocky Mountain National Park!!! Best hiking ever. 🙂
We are now in the coastal region but I love to walk the flatlands near Blakesly Park in Spanish Fort, AL
If I were in Colorado again…….I would hike any 14’r or Castlewood Canyons
I don’t hike as often as I’d like to (should), but in Aliso Viejo, CA where I live, there are some great trails. Right behind my house, too, is a park with a nice trail I like .So green and beautiful!
I Tweeted the Giveaway and Followed ProBar 🙂

My favorite place to hike is anywhere my kids are hiking..and Jackson Hole.

I don’t get to do much hiking. Mainly it’s walking paths with my dogs. Minnehaha Falls in the Twin Cities is a great, scenic place to go!
I love ProBars! Especially the chocolate peanut butter flavor. My favorite place to hike is in Yellowstone- the scenery is unbeatable.
We like hiking in Hocking Hills, Southeastern Ohio. Our kids like the trails, caves and waterfalls.

I’m not an avid hiker- wish I did was tho! There’s not many places to hike in Iowa but a few. I think I’ll have to do some research in this area!

I’m originally from West Virginia, and I love to hike in the mountains there. The summer before last we took a family trip to the northeastern panhandle and hiked in Blackwater Falls State Park. So beautiful! My kids (especially my son) keep asking when we can move to the mountains. Someday, I hope!

Mountains in TN!!!
My favorite place to hike would be in colorado! I’ve never been there, but want to go so badly! The midwest isn’t so great. 😀
I LOVE to hike! I live in FL and, besides the hike over the nearby sand dunes, I don’t have many “go-to” spots. My favorite hiking spot, though, has to be Pikes Peak in upstate New York! It’s an incredibly fun and beautiful place!
My favourite place to hike is in the Canmore, Alberta. The Rockies 🙂 I miss them…
