This review/giveaway is being sponsored by Nature Valley and MyBlogSpark.
Being a grad student and working, I don't have a lot of time sometimes for meals. I usually bring a box of granola bars and keep them in my bag. Surprise, surprise, they're Nature Valley! So, when I had the opportunity to do this review and giveaway, I couldn't pass it up! I like crunchy granola bars, but the only complaint is I make a lot of noise when I eat them and they are messy. Enter Nature Valley Granola Nut Clusters!
These clusters provide a healthy array of nuts, granola and a touch of honey. So far I've tried Nut Lovers and Almond and I REALLY liked them both! I've even shared them with my coworkers and not one person didn't like them! They also come in a resealable pouch, which makes them great on the go. And they are bite size, so also perfect for a snack for kids!
GIVEAWAY DETAILS:
One winner has the opportunity to win a huge gift pack! It includes everything pictured, which is the four flavors of granola clusters: Nut Lovers, Roasted Almond, Roasted Cashew and Honey Roasted Peanut, binoculars, flashlight, sling backpack and stainless steal water bottle!
Giveaway ends at noon on October 17 and is open to continental US residents ONLY.

2) Digg, stumble, tweet or post a link to this giveaway.

One of my favorite aspects of nature is snow. I love how it glistens in the sun and moonlight!
ReplyDeleteI just adore the woods...the scent of pine, the sounds of crackling twigs underfoot, and the deer and wildlife.
