Your bars are amazing. Note to the world, if you know an athlete that eats pure fit bars keep your hands off. It will most likely cause some serious mental strain if he/she can't find them. As I trianed for the Ironman this year I couldn't keep enough around because my family kept eating them. I know, I know, they are also a very healthy snack that happens to taste great- especially the raspberry ones- dude you really have to hide those. Wow starting to ramble again. Anyway I've had the best year of my life and these were an integral part, Thanks. Dave Shack Team Triabetes http://triabeticdave.blogspot.com/ Robb,

Upon reciept of my first shipment of PureFit bars, I was very happy with the initial results. With a good balance of carbs and protien, I was able to push through tough workouts with sustained energy and power output which resulted in my improving upon my 2007 Ironman time by 46 minutes! Great Product I look forward to continuing to use in 2009 and beyond.

Thank you so much for your support of Triabetes! - last year I went from being a non-running, non-swimming, and poor-controlling diabetic to Ironman. My management of diabetes did not just go up a level, it skipped levels. And a rather large portion of that management routine was proper nutrition. Pure-fit was with me every step of the way. I never hit the road without one whether training or competing. Also, I have 2 small children and we are pretty concerned with what they eat - so we read every label - you just can't get a nicer set of ingredients than you find with Pure-fit bars. My whole family loves them. And then you had to come out with Almond Berry Crunch! Delicious! Thanks for all the support - you have a great company. Robb!

Robb's Purefit bars are the real deal for the diabetic athlete looking for a low glycemic, higher-protein bar with quality ingredients. You don't have to guess what's in the bar, unlike most of the other bars on the market. Some of my non-diabetic friends have begun using them as recovery bars because they are palatable and easy to digest. Give Purefit a try: quality product and a quality organization!

I had just run Carlsbad the week after running the Rock 'N' Roll Arizona Marathon, and the bars you generously donated that very same day help with my recovery. I remember your enthusiasm for helping people by providing a quality nutritional product. When I got a chance to try your bars, I was happy to find I enjoyed eating them. I found, as others have, that the low glycemic index of these bars keep them from spiking my blood sugar. Your sponsorship of Triabetes is much appreciated. You're doing a great service to the rest of the world by providing great products. Thanks! Robb,
