Daijia has been very busy this summer. Which is good for her development but keeps me very busy as always. She has joined the swim team and is loving it. I was a bit surprised because she has not felt very comfortable with swimming. This did not stop her determination and she is doing great. One thing about swimming that she is not enjoying is getting up early for the swim meets. Swimmers start early especially when the weather is hot and humid. Most mornings she is scrambling to find something quick and nutritious to eat on the way to practice. Recently we were given the opportunity to sample an new nutrition energy bar made specifically for kids- Can Do Kid Bars.
These bars were created for the athletic kid in mind. Daijia is very picky about the bars she eats because as she puts it “Most of these things taste like cardboard.” I think the Can Do Kid Bars have changed her perspective on nutrition bars.

So why are these bars different than the other of million of bars on the market? Here are just a few of the reasons that the creator of the bar highlights:
Can Do Kids Bars are:
-
Protein / Energy Bars made with 9 Grams of Protein and 17 Essential Vitamins and minerals for nutrition
-
All natural and 70% Organic kids snacks
-
Available in three great flavors: Chocolate Crunch, Cookies and Cream, and CAN-illa Vanilla
-
Certified Gluten Free
-
have Kid sized vitamin and protein percentages
-
are All Natural
- have No Trans Fats
- have No High Fructose Corn Syrup
- have Tastes Kids Love, it's fifth grader approved! (Daijia states that it is 6th grade approved)

How can you say no to something this delicious and nutritious. Daijia gives the taste of these bars 4 “double thumbs up”. If you (yes you big kids too) or your family want to get your hands on these bars simply go to the very information Can Do Kid website.

Glad Daijah is enjoying her summer!
I apologize for spelling her name wrong!

I know what it's like for the kids to scramble for that food thats not too heavy but will give them what they need. My girls are involved in volleyball and basketball.
