It’s that time of the month again. Actually it's that time of the month right before that time of the month again. PMS. Quite possibly the worst time of the month. EVER. The cramps have kicked in, so has the bloat, and your cravings are making you behave like a Gremlin let out of its cage. Grab the heating pad, your bottle of Advil and come with me to the pantry. Not “panty,” you’re on your own there, “PANTRY!” Guess what? I have a secret for you. A girl’s gotta find a way to “Scratch The Itch” so follow me and I’ll teach you.
Hi! I’m Julianne Osherow aka @julethebee on Instagram. I am NOT a registered dietician, nutritionist or wellness expert. I AM a mom of two (three if you include my new baby, www.julethebee.com) and I live in the woods of Westchester with my husband, our two boys and our Golden Cavadoodle Norman. I was a celebrity personal assistant for 12 years and graduated from the French Culinary Institute what feels like a lifetime ago. I like to think I know a little bit about a lot of things. How to “Scratch The Itch” is one of them.
“Scratching The Itch” means you address your craving. You meet it head on and then you cut left and trick it before the real self sabotage begins.
My strongest PMS cravings can last anywhere between 2-4 days. At 46 years old I cannot afford to fall off the wagon every month for that amount of time. I’m already struggling to get that last 7-10 pounds off! Seemingly perpetually. Insert eyeroll here. Here’s the truth, you can “Scratch The Itch” and fix a craving by getting clever and being educated. And while there are days when I absolutely will reach for that chocolate covered peanut butter cup because nothing else is gonna do, if I choose to stay in the driver's seat, (and let's be honest it’s always a choice,) I’m reaching for a “Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate and Sea Salt Raw Rev Glo Bar.”
One bite into it and the Gremlin is tamed.
This bar is as good as taking a spoonful of creamy peanut butter right out of the jar and sprinkling chocolate chips on to the spoon before licking it clean. Wanna know why? Because Raw Rev uses real peanuts and real chocolate chips! With 11 grams of protein and 13 grams of fiber, your itch won't just be scratched you’ll be satisfied for hours.
Back in your cage, Gremlin!
I’m addicted to my afternoon raw rev snack! Creamy Pb is my favorite!!
Loving these tips! Couldn’t agree more!! This brand of bars is by far my favorite!
I 100% agree! I never thought I could be addicted to a bar but raw rev really hits the spot!
Thanks. Great tip! I have only tried the Crunchy PB flavor but would LOVE to try this flavor too!!
Love this! Raw rev is the best, and a cavoodle is my dream dog ;p
Need to try this flavor!!! Yummmm
Really want to try these soon! They sound AMAZING!
YESSS these are the best bars out there! So obsessed.
Can’t wait to try!!
Just tried these bars and love love love them. The peanut butter dark chocolate and sea salt is divine and so is the chocolate brownie.
Love Jules the Bee and love to “scratch the itch” with Raw Rev! Ordered 4 boxes for mother’s day. :)
Best snack- feels like I’m eating a candybar!
Sounds interesting. Now if they could just get rid of the PMS headache…
I found out about the raw rev glo bars because of Jule the Bee and couldn’t be happier. They are the sweet bite that I need everyday. Thanks!
I have never tried these bars but I am so excited too from all your comments they sound amazing!!!
Love the bars and a great way to get both protein and fiber!
LOVE these bars! My go to snack— especially the creamy PB and the PB+choc+ sea salt! The best!!
Love the 🐝 and Raw Rev!
Is this where we leave the comments for the free box drawing?!
I friggin love these bars. L.O.V.E. them.
My favorite is the creamy PB, and the chocolate PB is a very close second. I am an ER nurse with two jobs, in grad school for my NP. I am so dang tired. Stress makes me eat and pack on the pounds… I gained 30 lb getting my nursing degree!! But not this round. I lost back to my high school weight, and eat a healthy whole-food diet, work out regularly, and incorporate these into my daily routine.
Legit don’t know what I’d do without RawRev!!
PB chocolate are amazing!
When are you picking winner? Would love to win!
Ahh the best flavor! Love them. And so does my carpenter who helped himself to a few when he was fixing my pantry! I was PISSED! Don’t take my Raw Rev Glo bars! My kids love them too and I might buy the chocolate chip cookies dough flavor just for them 🤦🏻♀️
Eating a raw rev is literally the highlight of my day
Love these bars! They are my favorite and when I’m craving some chocolate or a snack on the go, I grab one of the brownie batter! Soooo delicious and nutritious!
Too funny #JULETHEBEE !! I thought I was the only one to enjoy rawrev while pms’ing!! They are my favorite snack even while watching my sons soccer practice and games!!! Got some mamacitas hooked on them too!!! ❤️
Cant reach my itch and need it scratched- rev bars (and @julethebee) help meee
Love raw rev!
Just purchased 3 boxes thank you for the discount code jule the bee. These are the best snacking bars in the market!
Couldn’t agree more! Just like a cookie!
Love these bars… peanut butter dark chocolate & sea salt is my favorite!
Love, love, love Julethebee & Raw Rev bars. She turned me on to them a few months ago and I’m obsessed. I feel bad for people who don’t know about them & don’t listen ;) Current fave is Peanutbutter Dark Chocolate & Sea Salt.
This is my favourite flavour!!
These are the best tasting protein bars I have ever had and the ingredients are so clean. I usually never eat protein bars because they taste artificial but theses are amazing. I’m so obsessed with them especially microwaved. I just about two more boxes. Eating these are literally my favorite part of my day. I can’t wait to try the birthday cake flavor!
Looks delicious
Yum
Would love to try these !
Favorite bars!!!!! Got my mom a box for Mother’s Day because they are her fave

@JuleTheBee thank you so much for your advice on Scratching the itch!! Sometimes you just need a sweet salty snack— and I cannot wait to try a RawRev bar. I am a little embarrassed to say that I have never tried one before. Thank you Jule for teaching me the ways LOL.

As always, great advice from Jule the Bee! I cannot go a day without chocolate and RawRev bars satisfy that craving without packing on the pounds!
Yes! These bars scratch the itch, are there in a pinch, and kill the craving! I travel frequently for work and these bars have become my go to option for a quick meal or snack when I have no other easy option. They are delicious and leave me feeling energized and satisfied! Thank you Jule the Bee and raw rev!!

Best snack ever! We keep ours in the fridge :) a huge plus—— my husband loves them too!! Love the post @julethebee
Yes, raw rev hits the spot day or night and doesn’t leave me feeling guilty.
Love the peanut butter sea salt. Rich and deep flavor-and really does scratch the itch!
So we’ll said!!! Put them in the freezer 30 min before ready to eat and you’re in for a real treat mmmm
So true and RawRev bars are so good!!
Loved your tip on stories about microwaving them!
I’ve been following Jule the bee and as someone who reaches for the chocolate covered peanut but cups too often I am going out now and getting raw rev bars to substitute and get away from the empty calories of the candy for when the itch comes.
Live Raw Rev Bars for my morning or afternoon snack!
The best bars! Especially if you put them in the microwave for a few.
I have terrible PMS cravings as well that lead me to the donut shop so I am thankful for RawRev to curb my cravings with a bar that’s healthy and delish!!
Love rawrev bars and love julethebee💕💕
These bars are beyond helpful in every situation! As a personal trainers assistant, I am in constant movement. RevRaw bars are the perfect “easy digest” bar while I’m in between teaching cardio. It is also imperative for me to have bananas, and protein bars on hand in case a client didn’t eat and is feeling faint. So when a client is watching sugar (I don’t track fruit sugars, but some do and that’s their preference) then I hand them a RevRaw bar since your bars have such low sugar, and amazingly easily digestible ingredients that any of my clients can handle. Way to go RevRaw!!
Agreed! Love these! My fav afternoon snack
Couldn’t agree more! Raw Rev are my favorite bars and help me scratch my itch!
This is so true! I am so happy that Raw Rev allows us ladies to “scratch the itch” while not falling off our diet routine!
So true, just stocked up on my Raw Rev bars yesterday and can’t wait to eat ‘em as an after dinner treat 🤤
I need all the raw rev…just not after midnight
I love Jule’s tips and raw rev has been my go to ever since I saw her recommend on Instagram! Best way to satiate those sweet cravings. Cannot wait for the birthday cake flavor!!
I feel you!! The gooey chocolate chips in the PB dark chocolate sea salt are my life force some days.
Hands down the most delicious bar I’ve had. @julethebee couldn’t have said it better myself!
I totally agree!!! I love that they are super low in sugar and high in fiber. They taste like a guilty treat but with nothing to feel guilty about. So yummy!
