Why The Paleo Diet? Reflections From Ambassador Katie Merritt
With more and more wellness experts and major media preaching about which diets you should be on and which foods you should and shouldn't be eating, it can get confusing to distinguish which foods you should be incorporating into your diet and how much of them to be incorporating.

For some unique insight, we turned to Thunderbird Bar Ambassador, food blogger, Nutritional Consultant, and Personal Trainer Katie Merritt.

One thing that is always challenging when following a diet, or eating healthy for that matter, is finding a healthy on-the-go snack. That's where we (Thunderbird bar) comes in.
