NuGo Organic bars have a great crispy texture, are coated in dark chocolate (of course we are into this), and as the name implies are created with organic ingredients. NuGO Organic is also vegan and kosher.

Raw Revolution bars are not just scrumdiddlyumptious, they are raw and packed full of nutrients. Plus, they are gluten, wheat, corn, soy, trans-fat, cholesterol and refined sugar free. Raspberry & Chocolate is our favorite flavor. Yum!

Hurray for food! I discovered the Raw Revolutions while hiking Grand Canyon. Super tasty like dessert. I’m looking forward to spice and herb bars. I’ve long wanted some savory energy/meal bars. Ditto, on thanks for sharing the coupon codes! I wonder if they willl still be valid when we get to the States

Yes, it’s great to balance sweet and savory! Most of the codes will be valid until the end of September, so that gives you a few months, anyway.

Hey Julie, I would start by creating a blog, social media presence, or other online community. Then, once you have a bit of a base, contact companies for sponsorship. Focus on companies whose mission and outlook aligns well with yours. Tell them why you are awesome and why they will benefit from sponsoring you. The bigger your audience, the more compelling your proposition will be. Good luck!
