Final Words

Most “energy bars” taste like sweetened cardboard to me, so I avoid them. I picked this bar up at Trader Joe’s, though, and thought I would give it a try since it looked like there were mostly identifiable ingredients. I wasn’t disappointed. It’s tasty and even somewhat filling despite its small size. The bar is high-calorie, though, so don’t make it a staple of your diet or you may find yourself with quite the expanding waistline!
