I am always searching for snack foods that have that sweet and salty taste to satisfy both my cravings! I have tried pretty much every granola and grainy type bar that Target and Walmart carry, only to be disappointed with the texture, taste or flavor varieties.
I received some samples of KIND bars in Fruit and Nut, KIND Plus and Kind Nuts and Spices flavors. These flavor varieties are awesome! They are the tastiest nutrition bars I have ever had! The Pomegranate, Blueberry Pistachio Plus bar is chewy and moist, while still being crunchy with the nuts and crispy rice! The nuts in this bar taste so fresh and the fruits taste just picked. The nice “Plus” is that you are getting some natural antioxidants while having a satisfying snack.
I have never been a fan of dried apricots, but the Almonds and Apricots Fruit and Nut KIND bar changed my mind! This apricot flavor tastes more like a fresh apricot and it has a nice coconut flavor with it. Definitely changed my mind about dried apricots. The third bar I sampled was the Nuts & Spices bar in Madagascar Vanilla Almond. I know I’m a little strange, but my favorite flavor is just plain ole’ vanilla! This was by far my favorite KIND bar of the 3. I was so surprised to see that it had only 4 grams of sugar since it tasted really sweet! I checked to make sure it had no other artificial sweeteners and it did not, only sweetened by the natural flavors. Another plus with KIND products is that every product is GLUTEN FREE.
The KIND company does not just make nutrition bars, it also produces a line of Healthy Grains Clusters that are all gluten free and rich in fiber and many other natural ingredients. They come in a resealable package for freshness after opening (I absolutely hate non-resealable packages!).
The KIND company is also a business that gives back to the community. Please visit their website at Kindsnacks.com to see the great things they are doing after Hurricane Sandy and with the Big Brothers/Big Sisters organizations, etc.
Where to buy: You can check out all the great KIND products and ordering information at www.kindsnacks.comand also on Amazon and at Target stores.
Be kind to your body and try a KIND product! Your body will thank you for the all natural ingredients and great taste!
