I can say about it. It sounded delicious and I couldn't wait to eat it but was very disappointed. The bar is essentially made up of coconut and the taste is overpowering. I couldn't taste the peanut at all and, while I could see the chocolate chunks, I barely tasted them over the coconut flavour. Also, the bar was extremely sticky and messy to eat. Overall, not worth the money for me.

I was very excited to receive these meal replacement bars to sample and review. As a busy Mom of a fussy 4 month old baby, it can be very hard to get the time to make and then eat a proper meal. When it comes to convenience, these bars are excellent.
The bars are chocolate fudge flavoured, so of course they taste great. They are covered in chocolate and a little bit crunchy. They are also very dense. Over all very delicious, just like eating a real chocolate bar.
They are also well priced, less than $12 for a box of 5 which is average when it comes to meal replacement bars. I also appreciate that this is a Canadian company based in Quebec.
As a busy person, I need a lot of energy and didn't find the bars to be filling enough for a whole meal. However, if you follow the diet plan that comes with the bars, it allows for 2 snacks and a veggie tray througout the day along with the bar and two regular meals. If the bar were combined with one snack or the vegetable tray, then it would have been enough for me.
I actually did lose weight the week I was eating these bars, however, I was also eating much healthier and am exercise much more often so I am not entirely sure how much of a part the Nurtiforme Bars actually played in this.
My only complaint is that the bars were almost too chocolately, too much of a treat. While I know they are full of certain nutrients and not too high in calories, I felt as though I was replacing my meal with a chocolate bar and that didn't feel healthy at all. I think the bars could of at least been packed with nuts or something "healthy". The abundance of chocolate also didn't help with my desire to cut back on the sweets and minimize my cravings.
Overall, I am unsure if I will purchase these or any type of meal replacement bar in the future, however, if you do use meal replacement bars, these are a good choice.

Cody the Cub has evolved a little in the last few years and the one that we have has a plastic body but is still stuffed in the legs, arms and head. He is soft, lights up and sings. So great for kids under a year to learn cause and effect. Mybaby is 3 month and loves him. My only complaint is that for adults listening, he is extremely annoying. -
Chips Ahoy! Cookies
This is a fairly inexpensive, good tasting option for store bought cookie. I personally don't love the crunchiness and would go with a softer cookie. The taste is good though, nice and sweet but not too sweet. Also lots of chocolate chips.

Miss Vickie's Jalapeno Chips
Absolutely love this brand of chips because they are so crunchy and always from good quality potatoes. Jalapeno ones are my favourite. I love mixing it up with a spicy snack once in a while, so much better than potatoe chips.

Christie Premium Plus Crackers
These crackers are a pantry staple! They are very cost efficient and good for so many different things. They taste good on their own, nice and crunchy and lightly salted. We love eating them with cheese, peanut butter or in soups.

While I do get these frozen lemonades once in a while I really dont recommend them. I may get one if I am at Tim Hortons and really need to cool down but I dont love the taste. They are very strong and taste very fake, not like real lemonade. At least they are decently priced. -

I'm not sure who created baking soda but this stuff is amazing. I always buy Arm & Hammer because it is such atrusted brand and is just as inexpensive as the off brands. This stuff has multiple uses just like the box says. I actually do use it for a ton of baking, cleaning and for deodorizing shoes, spills, the fridge and so on. -
