The protein bar market is however rather well served with other bars that can say the same. If bars could talk. Do Vive Bars bring something new? Yes they do! Two things in particular are welcome. First are some ...

MiiRO Icecreams: Gluten-Free Vegan Magnums!

If they had come first it just would not have been fair on everything else. When they were finally served the normally brief wait as samples got passed around the table appeared to take stretch on forever. Finally, I got to taste a MiiRO Salted Caramel ...
