Now, that is way more ingredients than I would normally recommend, but you can actually READ them all, and KNOW what they are.
So, it’s relatively balanced and has a decent ingredient list (for a processed food), and it tastes good. There’s the real reason, it tastes good.
Hi, my name is Leslie, and I have texture issues so I am going to try to describe it for you.
It’s very similar to a chewy granola bar, minus the crumbly part. It’s pretty gooey (for lack of a better word) and stays together. This makes it a perfect on-the-go choice if you don’t want crumbs all over you (or the car).
Remember, the flavor is Chocolate Chip, and it is pretty sweet.
So, the conclusion for me is:
· It’s Vegan
· I like it
· It’s a great ‘convenience’ food that’s relatively healthy
Have you tried this particular energy bar before? What did you think?
