Wow! These had everything I love in a bar: not too sweet, just the right amount of chewiness, made with seeds, nuts, fruit. Perfection. Just a few weeks after trying the PB bar, Good 'n' Natural sent me an email. They wanted to mail me a few samples to review on the blog. I was itching to try the other flavors: Lemon, Cranberry Almond, and (again) Peanut Butter.
Yum! Though I loved the Peanut Butter bar the best, the other two were quite tasty. The Lemon would be my second fave because I'm a sucker for citrus. The Cranberry Almond was nice too with just the right fruit to nut ratio. Also, I love that these bars are sweetened with brown rice syrup and maple syrup instead of evaporated cane juice.
Here's a closer look at that Cranberry Almond bar:
I went to Good 'n' Natural's website, and they have a cute little video about how the company got started. This lady named Sarah Walker started making bars in her tiny kitchen to give to her friends in a town called Sun Valley. The bars — made with real nuts, seeds, and fruits — were an instant hit, and people started paying her to make them. The business expanded. She hired a catering friend Ann Scales. And now you can find Good 'n' Natural bars all over!
I've tried them and I like peanut butter and the cranberry. I have also tried the chocolate... never try the chocolate. It is awful. I had to throw it out.
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried the lemon yet.I bet thats a good one.
That's funny...i also tried these on a whim when i spotted them on sale at kroger. I got the PB one and I enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteHave you tried the new line of GF/vegan "Earnest Eats"? Pretty tasty and Target has them-they're cheap :)
peanut butter bars are my faaaavorite. looks like a great texture!
ReplyDeleteThese bars are pretty good, and personally, I find the chocolate bar pretty good. Not too sweet.
ReplyDeleteI've tried these bars because I was given some coupons for free bars by a friend. I could only find the cranberry ones and I liked them! I've been trying to find the lemon ones because I'm a citrus freak but have had no luck. I'll have to keep looking though!
ReplyDeleteI love that they include flavors that aren't always the first ones thought of. Namely Cranberry and Lemon. I love lemon and cranberry sweets but rarely see them.
