Hitting the outdoors with Nature Valley

This post is sponsored by General Mills. All opinions are my own!

Nothing like some fresh air and sunshine! This year, our goal is to spend as much time outdoors as possible. We can’t wait for all of the outdoor adventures our van is going to bring us and for now, we are just enjoying the beautiful San Diego winter. Okay, so it’s only 65 degrees out but hey for us Californian’s- that is cold! I love the cold weather and going outside when it’s nice and crisp outside might just be my favorite!

Every day the girls and I make it an effort to go outside. Whether we’re going for a bike ride through our neighborhood, or taking our reading to the park, spending time outside just feels good for our soul! With distance learning and working from home, we need to take care of ourselves and this is great for our personal health!  

Focusing on healthy habits is so important to us and now is the time to think about better for you choices in the new year. Nature Valley has always been our favorite better for you snack for the whole family. Their bars are the best for packing when heading out on an outdoors hike- or just hanging out at the park like today. It’s something we can all agree on and the new limited time value packs at Walmart have enough variety for all of us to enjoy! 


For a limited time when you pick up a pack of specially marked Nature Valley bars- you’ll get a free Packed bar inside the package. The Packed bars are only made with ingredients you can see- like crunchy nuts and seeds and chewy cranberries rolled together in creamy peanut butter. YUM!  It’s a sustained energy bar and oh so delicious! The girls and I tried out these bars the other day and couldn’t get over the crunchy and chewy textures- it had us fighting over the last bite!

You can purchase specially marked Nature Valley Value Pack products in-store at Walmart or online with pickup or delivery and score a free Packed bar for a limited time offer. It’s the perfect snack to take with you outdoors as an easy grab and go snack that fits in your pocket. Trust me, you are going to get hooked. 

It’s so important for us to set healthier habits so the kids follow in our footsteps. One of the ways we do that is by paying attention to the snacks we choose and put in our body. Especially when we’re on the road, we always like to keep better for you snacks on hand. 


Another way we like to make healthy lifestyle choices is by choosing to spend our time outdoors and getting some exercise several times a week. Whether it’s a bike ride, or a simple game of tag, it’s a good way to keep our bodies moving, even during these colder months!  

This year, we have a full bucket list of outdoor places planned on where we want to visit. My top destination is to drive up the California Coast all the way to Oregon and experience all of the beauty that California has to offer. Can’t wait to take you all on this new journey of ours this year and you best believe we’ll be packing our Nature Valley bars with us.


Pick up a specially marked Nature Valley Value Pack at your local Walmart and you’ll get a free Nature Valley Packed Bar inside! Trust me, you’ll want to bring these with you on all of your upcoming outdoor adventures this year.
