Loved this product! tastes great! Its an awesome alternative to granola bars or breakfast bars! deffinately reccommend. My 6 year old also loved it. I have not had a chance to purchase on my own yet, so i am unsure of the prices
These bars are packed with nutrients, as someone who eats a lot of bars to maintain my iron and protein intake, it does the trick for me. I also only like dark chocolate so that's a bonus. I just don't like how pricey this is, not something I could afford all the time.
I received 3 of the Brookside Dark Chocolate Fruit & Nut Bars (different flavors) from Chick Advisor to review.
Blueberry with Açai Flavor:
Another not so good bar (see my other review for Cherry with Pomegranate).
For the life of me, I couldn't find Açai listed in the ingredients. Açai flavour? not according to the list of ingredients. I even checked their website. Crazy.
Just like the Cherry bar, this one has a ton of sugar in it - a whopping 13g out of the 39g bar (33% sugar!!).
This bar, like the other two, tasted very fresh (wow!) and very flavourful. It's unfortunate that Brookside fails to provide a healthy bar (imo). Get rid of the concentrate fruit juices, the sweetened fruit, and the sweetened chocolate.
I'm trying to eat healthy and cut out refined sugars. Replace your sugar with honey, cut back your dark chocolate and give me unsweetened 70% cocoa dark chocolate. Sure it may not taste as fantastic, but after a few bars and a low sugar diet, the palate adapts and no longer requires something soooooo sweet.
Don't get me wrong, the bars do taste good, but so does a chocolate bar.
Angel on my shoulder says: eat something healthier.
Devil in my ear whispers: eat another bar.
This jammed packed dark chocolate fruit & nut bars with blueberry/acai flavour sound totally healthy and is a nice 3pm snack for days when you are craving something a little sweet. It is tasty and really hits the spot. The only think that I have my reservations on is the price tag - at a whopping $1.99 each bar, I don't think that it is something that I could buy all the time. Occasionally maybe, just not something that I would keep stocked up on.
This one was actually my favourite! I really enjoyed the different and distinctive flavours! I would typically just eat these for breakfast but I found myself wanting them for snacks as well!
The price point of a $1.99 in my opinion is good based on the quality of the bar and the ingredients. I do love Acai and I could really taste it. The chocolate at the bottom combined with the almonds really brought the bar together. I would definitely buy this as a snack in the future!
I love the chocolate fruit & nut bars blueberry with aci. I think it is pretty healthy and not too sweet. I love blueberries. So this flavor is my favourite.
Yum! These are a delicious snack that feels like a treat without the guilt of a processed chocolate or granola bar. Savoury and sweet, these bars have a chewy texture and a satisfying crunch to them.
All 3 flavours of the Brookside Bars that I sampled were outstanding. The whole nuts and seeds really pack a powerful flavour punch while the chocolate dip keeps it fun and lightly sweet. Blueberry flavour dominates over the Acai but that is fine. Overall I recommend these bars.
I absolutely loved all of the Brookside Fruit and Nut Bars But the Blueberry with Acai was my favorite just enough blueberry to be sweet and just enough chocolate to be yummy. Great snack day or night and the price reflects the quality.
