Balance Bar Bare Nutrition Energy Bar Sweet & Salty Chocolate Almond, 1.76 Ounces... Like I said in my title, I used to think they 9BALANCE) REALLY had the market wrapped up in the flavor department, on those Gold Caramel bars that kind of tasted like a snickers bar, then I read the reviews for these & decided to give them a try as I was kind of getting tired of the same bars ( I bought 10 cases of the gold caramel ones, as I have 7 kids & IF I hoped to have a few when I wanted them I had to buy "extra" to share, when they did the puppy dog eyes at me as I nibbled my bar with my A.M. tea, I would give them a snack, cookie, trail mix etc but they always wanted a piece of my treat! Therefore the 10 case purchase! <br /> <br /> Any who.., I digress, These are now my entire families tie for Favorite protein, low glycemic bar! The other one is the Trail Mix chocolate chip bare bars. We open up a few & cut them into pieces & I give each child, some fresh walnuts, almonds, & pecans or cashews with their pieces of the bars, they are to die for!! It's like a custom candy bar kit every morning, sometimes they like to spread them with extra peanut butter & sprinkle on the nuts all chopped up or slices of banana & toasted coconut. They call this 'snack" first thing in the a.M. their First breakfast when we all sit down to do our family devotions, then it's off to get their chores done & their Second breakfast which is usually light as they are so satisfied with their slow burning "fuel" they had at their First breakfast! they have plenty of energy to usually go 3-4 hours if need be from their Balance Bare Bars breakfast! We have tried all the rest, the yogurt ones & peanut ones & fruit ones (I forget what they're called), but they are a bit too sweet for our tastes, but then again we don't like kool aid & sugar cereals, & REALLY REALLY sweet things, IF you do, then you would enjoy these other flavors as well! For our Family these chocolate almond bare bars & the chocolate chip trail bars are number 1, (excuse the pun) , "bar none"! I(I couldn't resist!) LOL :-) Reader Reviews Unfortunately, I have a chocolate/sweet tooth that is hard to control. I have been known to eat candy bars for either breakfast, lunch, or both. These nutrition bars satisfy that need in me without giving me the "falloff" that candy bars do; besides, these are only 210 calories. I have come to prefer these for a grab and go breakfast or lunch. Surprisingly, they do have a lot of nuts in them, and you can tell the "sweet and salty" flavor. I try to buy these when Amazon runs them at a net cost of $1 or less per bar. At times there are even coupon savings that drive the price down further. My recent shipment had an expiration date of April 2009. They are very fresh and even somewhat moist and particularly go well with my morning coffee. |
