Pros: Taste and Texture
Cons: None

Excellent. I've tried the strawberry and the cinnamon, and the blueberry is waiting at home. Very much like a cross between a fig newton (the smoother texture of the outer cake), and a nutrigrain bar (the smooth filling).


The question will be - how much maltitol. I seem to be quite sensitive - so the proof will be my belly in an hour or so....


Such a nice change from those nasty ol bars!

Pros: Convenience, portability, taste
Cons: size, cost

Tried the blueberry one first-loved it! Very similar to a "NutraGrain bar". It is small-don't expect to be filled up with just one bar. But it is good tasting and if you can't have a sit down breakfast, this is a good substitute.


Just tried the strawberry today and really like it! Very fruity tasting. Made me wish for more!!

Pros: Taste
Cons: Size

I tried the blueberry flavor and it was quite good. It's a nice change from the protein bars and shakes. They have a nice fruity flavor, and remind me of Nutragrain bars. As someone else said, the only drawback is the size. It's not e4nough to fill you up for breakfast. It does make a nice snack however.

Pros: excellent flavor
Cons: not quite enough to fill me up

I think these bars are wonderful! They are like eating a fig newton. There is not quite enough to fill me up but when I go to breakfast meetings where donuts and pastries are served. Eating one of these keeps me from drooling!

Pros: very tasty
Cons: very small

Tried cinnamon, blueberry and strawberry. We all like the cinn. the best. To me these are just not filling enough to be called a breakfast bar. Its more like eating a couple "newtons", but we will continue to buy them as treats once in a while.

Pros: Truly tasty!
Cons: None

I cannot believe that it actually taste like the breakfast bars (with Sugar) I have had before. There was no bad aftertaste in the filling. The outer covering was not gritty or "protein-like". It truly tasted like a Fig Newton or a breakfast bar should taste.


I will be ordering these again.
