My CORE Food Review

CORE Foods Defender Meals – “Eat Like Your Life Depends on It”
I don't often review products because I feel that anything I review should be of the highest quality and something I would not only eat, but recommend to those closest to me. I was thrilled to be give the opportunity to sample and review CORE Foods Defender Meals as a perk of being a #SweatPink ambassador for FitApproach.com.

ABOUT CORE FOODS: Before I even tasted their products, I went to their website to see what they were all about. I was pleasantly surprised. After reading the following, I knew that this was a company that I could comfortably stand behind.




We cultivate a healthier planet by empowering people with fresh food and resources. Our founder, Corey, went on a quest to get to the bottom of nutrition. He trained with elite athletes, researched the biology of food, and lived intimately with twelve tribes around the world. Remarkably, he discovered the most profound and consistent things we know about nutrition are REALLY SIMPLE. At CORE, we apply this enduring wisdom to make convenient, healthy, food.

We treat other people the way we want to be treated.We are inspired by the inherent reciprocity in human history and community culture. We believe we can rebuild our entire financial system to support each other by following the
Golden Rule principles: Not-for-profit, 0% Financial return · Living wages · Capped executive pay · Reduce/offset all carbon

MY THOUGHTS: I know that this is really why you read the post - to see what I thought of the products. I was sent three bars Defender Bars. "Defender Meal is focused on maximizing health and longevity. This recipe follows a strict vegan diet, which has been proven to be the most powerful weapon to Defend against diseases of affluence (heart disease, cancers, etc.)--the diseases that kill the majority of Americans. Defender Meals utilize our balanced recipe of complex carbohydrates and healthy essential fats fortified with Organic Flax and nuts for 12 grams of Organic Vegan protein. We recommend Defender for car rides, plane trips, and everyday pursuits."

This fits my lifestyle perfectly. I wasn't sure I would love the taste, given that I tend to hate the ultra dry crunchy nuts and granola. The bars were surprisingly moist, chewy, and most importantly tasty. Given my medical conditions, I generally have a hard time getting breakfast down, but found that eating a Defender bar was not upsetting to my stomach and was a great way to start the day. I did feel full and didn't get the normal blood sugar crash around 11am. I can see this becoming a staple breakfast food for me.

THE VERDICT: It's tasty, fresh and lives up to its promises. I definitely recommend CORE Food products and will be purchasing more soon :)
