Stubbs Bar-B-Q

Stubbs BBQTexas landmarks. We hear them in Texas Country songs. We read about them. They are legendary. Stubbs Bar-B-Q. Austin, Texas.
Restaurant. Music Venue. History.

Stubbs BBQWalking in, I noticed the restaurant area is much smaller than I would’ve thought. We came in mid-day over the first weekend of ACL. There were only a few groups. Memorabilia on the walls. Oh if these walls could talk! Rustic. Amazing.

We sat outside overlooking the outdoor stage / venue area. Next to us sat a group who were at ACL. I’m pretty sure that they played however I was too bashful to ask who they were.

Stubbs BBQ

Stubbs is known for being a music venue and for their BBQ sauce (check out your local grocery store). I was interested in the food. I am a sucker for a good brisket sandwich. It won’t be passed up. Let me tell you… Delicious.

Staying Active with a Healthy Snack – Outshine Fruit Bars

I am a member of the Collective Bias® Social Fabric® Community. This shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper insights study for Collective Bias and their client.

198Over the last year, keeping active and eating healthier has become a larger part of my life. Eating healthier is the harder of the two, would you not agree? One of my biggest challenges has been finding healthy snacks and when I do, I like to share them! My nemesis has been ice cream but I’ve recently found my healthy alternative – Outshine Fruit Bars, made with all fruit and still satisfies my cravings for something sweet!

Outshine Fruit Bars #shop #realfruitbarI’m in Texas and if you haven’t noticed I’m usually on the go. It’s obvious the “cool” tasting snacks will get us hooked quickly as it’s pretty warm here the majority of the year. After a day of biking, running, being out on the boat, or just staying in for a movie it’s fairly easy to just reach into the freezer and grab what’s there. I’ve just had to make sure it’s something healthy to keep myself energized and feeling great.

Healthy Snacks #shop #realfruitbar

Instead of a bowl of something sweet, I grab an Outshine Fruit Bar. Sometimes, I’ll pair it with humus and low fat tortilla chips or a banana after a long run. The portion is perfect, still cool enough to hit the spot on a hot day and it’s great to take on the go! Whether I’m heading to the lake, bike trail or a BBQ with friends, these frozen bars are a great option!

Outshine Fruit Bars are a healthy snack option made with real natural fruit or fruit juice with many flavor options. Gluten, corn syrup and fat-free (except for Creamy Coconut) and a great source of Vitamin C. Even if I’m not getting that Vitamin C from the sun, I’m still catching it with the fruit bars. The best part is that since they are so healthy and taste so good, there’s no guilt with reaching into the freezer for one anytime!
