For the past few summers, my teenage daughter has worked as a lifeguard for the city water park and pools. It’s hard work to constantly watch for someone in need of help. Just today she saved and adult and two kids who were drowning in the deep end of the pool. She sometimes even works double shifts from morning until late at night if there the pool or water park has been rented out.
There’s more to life guarding than just watching the patrons. They have to administer first aid or help lost children, clean around the pools and spray down the areas, and clean the bathrooms and remove all the trash. They also have to reorganize the seating areas at the end of the day. Sometimes they even have to head out to the parking lots to pick up trash.
They do have breaks, but during their breaks, they are usually the guard “on call” who brings the crash bag when someone needs help. This job can make you very hungry and sometimes there’s only time for a snack.
That’s where Nature Valley XL Bars come in handy! These bars are 50% bigger than regular Nature Valley Bars. They can satisfy your hunger and fuel your body, especially if you need to be prepared to jump in the pool and save someone.
Both my teens love the Nature Valley XL Protein Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate Bars, but they come in several delicious flavors:
- Nature Valley XL Sweet & Salty Chocolate Nut & Seed Chewy Granola Bars
- Nature Valley XL Sweet & Salty Peanut Chewy Granola Bars
- Nature Valley Sweet & Salty Pretzel, Peanut & Chocolate Chewy Granola Bars
- Nature Valley XL Protein Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate Bars
- Nature Valley XL Protein Mixed Nuts Bars
Look for them in Walmart right next to the regular Nature Valley Bars.
Nature Valley XL Bars are perfect for big kids and teens who are busy and on the go as an easy go-to for both snacks and breakfast! Check ’em out and see which flavor your teen would enjoy!!

Didn’t know some of the things lifeguard does say to day. Good that you can depend on good energy bars when no time to eat
These bars sound so delicious. I cant wait to buy these bars the next time I’m at the store. I have a friend who’s a lifeguard and she says that it’s actually a stressful job at times! I never realized all the tasks that they do!
Protein bars make a great snack. There are times your blood sugar just starts to dip and a it’s one of the easiest snacks to grab. Portable and not a huge sugar crash.
I didn’t know Nature Valley has these! I need to pick some up because I love Nature Valley!
Oh i love protein bars on my snack. And this nature valley looks so delicious. Would love to try it.
Those looks so good. We have been buying their granola cups lately. They are amazing! I will look out for these when I go shopping tomorrow.
Oh now these sound right up my street, Nature Valley seem to make some great bars, but I hadn’t heard of these before!
Oh these look so good. I’m a huge fan of nature valley, but i hadnt ever seen these before! I need to pick some up!
I didn’t know there was an XL version of Nature Valley’s bars. They seem like a good option in cases like this.
These Nature Valley bars looks so tasty and delicious as well. This is best for kiddos and parents for there on-the-go snacks.
Nature Valley is my go-to snack option when I have a lot on my plate! It really helps me with energy and focus, I can definitely see how it helps while life guarding!
Good for her! I always thought being a lifeguard would be a fun job. Not only do you get to hang out at the pool all summer, but help people, all at the same time. My husband has been looking for a different snack bar for the times he’s on the road. These, I’ll have to keep an eye out for! x
That’s so great that your daughter worked as a lifeguard. I imagine it would be a lot of work. My grandmother actually was a lifeguard for a while. My cousin actually did lifeguard work as well. He was always exausted after a shift. I can understand having a good energy snack for work is important.
Love this brand! Everything I try tastes so good.
Would like to have that during our travels or day trips. I think it would be a great trail food. Do you know if it is available internationally?
We love Nature Valley in our home. I haven’t seen the XL Protein at the store yet. I’ll have to look for it. My husband would love it.
