I loved the taste of this bar. It was very flavourful and tasted a lot fresher than other bars I've tried. I would recommend the bar, but with that being said, I think $1.99 per bar is a little pricey. The bars are not very big. If they come in a multi-pack at a reduced rate, it would probably be better.
I would say that this was my least favorite of the 3 bars, but I didn't "dislike" it, I just prefer the other kinds more than this. I didn't care for the blueberry flavor as much as the others. It was still a satisfying treat and I would most certainly eat one again. I never had acai berry before, so it could possible be the acai that I'm not as fond of. The fulfill a sweet craving without feeling like you're eating something bad for you.
Brookside is really stepping up their game, first with the chocolate bars and now these. It's great that they are made with real fruit and are gluten free for those who are sensitive to that. They made a great addition to my lunch as a special treat however they have a high calorie count and high sugar content so they are more treat than healthy choice, just something to keep in mind. But it was a unique bar with a strong fruit flavour and nice addition of dark chocolate that I found satisfying.

The Acai is definitely the secondary flavour in these bars however there is still a good fruit flavour because of the blueberry, lots of nuts as well to add a great crunch to the bar. I enjoyed adding these to my lunches as a special treat, they helped get me through the afternoon slump. Highly recommend to someone who enjoys granola bars as a go-to snack.

The Brookside Blueberry and Akai fruit bar is pretty good. It is filling and just tastes "healthy". If you are a bigger chocolate fan, you might prefer the brookside covered fruit drops. I find this bar a great breakfast substitute or snack during the day. I don't like it as much as the cherry/pomegranate but thats just a personal preference, this bar is great!
I love these bars! Not a huge fan of dark chocolate, but these bars have definitely changed that. I love the texture and the sweetness of the bars (they weren't too sweet).
I was so excited to try these bars for free as part of the Chick Advisor review club!!
I had the Blueberry and Acai bar first because I am a big fan of these flavours! I must say, these didn't taste exactly how I had imagined.. I found the taste to be very strong for my first bite.. The chocolate does not take over this bar at all.. There are so many powerful but delicious flavours that come through!! The more I ate, the more I enjoyed it!! It's a great alternative to a regular bar and satisfies your chocolate craving in a healthier way! I found that it filled me up and was just the kick I needed to get through the rest of my day at work!! I will definitely buy these in the future for my afternoon snack!
These bars tasted great. They had just enough sweetness and I loved that they were gluten free. (the chocolate was nice, too!) They gave me the energy to get through the afternoon without the need to snack more. I would definitely recommend these bars!
These are a delicious snack. the chocolate taste nice and the chewy berry gives it texture. I have these in my desk for craving time and a pick me up.
The taste and the texture of this bar are exceptional. It felt like a treat when I ate it, it tasted better than a chocolate bar! The nuts and the fruits with the little touch of chocolate sent me to heaven :)
it tastes really like the blueberry and acai covered in chocolate. The big plus with this product, you feel fuller and less guilty!
I got this product to review, and before this I never knew about Brookside chocolates or bars. I got 3 different flavors to try and I was looking forward to doing so. Out of all three, this Blueberry and Acai was my best. Now this is not to say that I will go out of my way to go buy this Brookside snack bar, but that if ever I were to go buy this will be my choice of flavor.
To get into the product, my high points were the delicious Blueberry mixed with the slight tartness of the Acai, were perfectly balanced. The dark chocolate was not too bitter that you could not enjoy it, and also the nut and fiber in it was perfectly crunchy and chewy. 1 or 2 bars of this with either water or a healthy juice and you are full, so a pro point for this is that it is filling and good tasting.
The reason why I am not gushing forth with 5 stars is for me the plastic like taste of the dark chocolate layer. For me it tasted very rubbery and like plastic, not a very pleasant underlying taste for a healthy product.
All in all, this is a nice tasting snack bar and for the price worth it.
Very impressed with this Nut Bar! I was able to taste the dark chocolate along with the blueberry and acai. I didn't think I would like it too much but surprisingly I love it. These were great for post-workouts and for early mornings when I am in a rush to get to work.
