Meatbars are primarly meat, mainly beef.
Original flavour is good, a little tangy.
Sweet and Savoury is good after you get used to it. Cranberries are a bit too tangy and pumpkin seed interrupt the ground meat texture.
Sriracha is best flavour due to lack of tang.
All flavours had a finely ground and dried meat texture that's more processed and less fibrous than meat jerky.
These aren't cheap $3.99/Meatbar vs $1.99/Larabar or Clif bar at Loblaws, but they're cheaper than other meat snacks like Jack Link's or Lorissa. I'll continue to buy them as an emergency snack for my teen son who's constantly rushing to practise through dinner time!

Oikos Greek Yogurt
We buy it whenever it's on sale, The taste is full, authentic and tropical. The greek yogurt doesn't have the usual grainy texture. Love it. Just a bit pricey, so we wait until it's less than the everyday sale price of 3/$10CAD.

Bought this to better ensure my kids wash their hands after school and use the right amount of soap. So they wash their hands more, but this dispenser allots too much soap for their not-horrendously-dirty, child-sized hands. Now I have to check whether they've rinsed all the soap off. Otherwise, it's a great cool new practical contraption to show off in the guest/powder room. I occasionally turn off the power using the switch to save battery and have only had to replace them once in a year or two! -
Central Roast Tri-Coloured Popcorn Kernels

It's important to me to serve my kids organic, non-GMO popcorn, since there is so much GMO'd corn buried in so many of the foods we eat. I was delighted to discover Central Roast popcorn kernels are organic from California, but dismayed when two separate bags of popcorn produced only about 70-80% yield. That's alot of wasted kernels! I will continue to buy this product, but only because it's the ONLY organic, non-GMO popcorn kernel offered at my go-to supermarket. If I see a comparable product elsewhere, I'm going to try it. -
WowButter
Received a generous sample box from WowButter and it's got us sold. It looks, smells, spreads and tastes almost exactly like peanut butter, just a little more "burnt". However, we all know soy has great oil, protein and fibre. My gr 4 daughter... +
Received a generous sample box from WowButter and it's got us sold. It looks, smells, spreads and tastes almost exactly like peanut butter, just a little more "burnt". However, we all know soy has great oil, protein and fibre. My gr 4 daughter and I literally lick the contents out of the individual blister packs - a great easy no mess heathy snack. -

Got this at Sephora. Haven't tried this line before. Very light, pleasant scent. Clean, nongreasy, lightweight, easy to blend. While it was so light that I felt it wasn't quite enough bang for the substantial buck (I'm a cheap beauty), it's about the right weight for me during the summer months when I don't need much. In the winter when my skin dries out easily, especially around my mouth after toothbrushing, it isn't quite moisturizing/protective enough. -
Lärabar Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Energy Bar

My two preteens and I love this flavour of this bar. Other Larabar flavours range from meh (fruit and nut ones) to very good (cashew), but Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip is the best by far. Ingredients range also, but are always natural, nut filled and sweetened with dates. A natural, quality only ingredient list like this has to cost more, but I think it's worth it as an emergency snack/mini-meal when in a rush or on the go. These come in boxes of 5x45g (C$4.50-6ish) or 16 ($12.99-27.99), which are significantly less $/bar than buying them individually ($1.49-1.99). -

#loveMottsFibre #gotitfree. My review package included napkins and an embossed gold coloured teaspoon. Not sure why, as neither explicitly advertised the product, but I'll take them as they're cute and I'll use them. This applesauce is just a touch too sweet for my taste, but I'm quite concerned about such things. The raspberry flavour is light, as was the apple, but overall, the applesauce is as delicious and comforting as applesauce always is. There's no perceptible additional fibrous material that some high fibre products have and none on the ingredients list. I'll have to check other applesauce packages to understand just how much extra fibre there is. With no added sugar, fake sugars, artificial flavour, artificial colour or chemicals, this is a packaged snack I can, with clear conscience, give the kids when I'm pressed for time to cut and peel fresh fruits and veggies. The one thing I'd like changed is the sides of the plastic container. They're ridged, I believe to simulate a rough wood barrel. The problem is, applesauce gets caught in the ridges and wasted. Kids are given barely enough time to eat at school, any barrier is undesirable. Thanks! -
IÖGO Creamy Yogurt
Great taste and rich, creamy texture, on par with Activia. We eat full or even high fat yogurts, we don't like low or no fat ones. The pouch is fun and easy for the kids to use. I can see freezing a pouch and bringing it for a road trip or... +
Great taste and rich, creamy texture, on par with Activia. We eat full or even high fat yogurts, we don't like low or no fat ones. The pouch is fun and easy for the kids to use. I can see freezing a pouch and bringing it for a road trip or picnic. However, it's not any cheaper than the regular plastic containers. I like that iogo offers coupons. Not all brands do. -
