What I love about these bars is that they are sooo flavorful, and you really taste the fruit that it is named after. The nuts & seeds are an added bonus.
As a snack in lieu of a regular chocolate bar- there is no competition- the 4 g of proein, & 3 g of fibre, make it a worthy treat.
The 180 calories and 9 g of fat, along with being 14% of your RDA of fat, is where I would slow down on calling this a really nutritional treat.
I would try these bars again , but in moderation.
They aren't pretty, due to the natural ingredients, etc.- , but they should be seen as a sweet treat - a bit healthier choice than a chocolate bar or donut- not as fat & calorie dense perhaps, and maybe a bit more filling - but a treat also.
très agréable de déguster une barre constituée de produits qu'on ne voit pas partout dans les produits similaires, telles les mûres. Cette barre a un goût hors du commun et je la recommande sans hésiter.
I received this product for free for the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club. As a chocoholic, I love it when a healthy snack (real fruits and nuts) is combined with chocolate (dark chocolate in this case). When I first heard of the cranberry with blackberry flavour combination, I thought I wouldn't like it, as cranberries tend to be sour/bitter. So I was pleasantly surprised when I tried it- it wasn't sour/bitter and I liked the flavour so much that it became my favourite out of all of the other flavours. It reminded me of something else I'd eaten when I was younger, but I couldn't put my finger on what. This fruit and nut bar has a lot of flavour compared to other fruit and nut bars that I have tried in the past. Overall, this is a good product and I would recommend this to anyone looking for a healthy snack that tastes yummy.
The Dark chocolate, cranberry and blackberry bar definitely wasn't my favourite. I'm not a huge fan of cranberry and with this flavour combination it became overwhelming.
Like the blueberry flavor, the bar was absolutely choc-full of nuts and berries and it was obvious when compared to other bars that they really took effort to put a lot of real food in there to keep you full!
I would definitely buy this bar again, but I'd stick to the other flavors which I enjoyed a lot more. The cranberry just wasn't my thing, but I remain impressed by the bar itself!

I received samples of the Brookside Fruit and Nut Bars through Chickadvisor. I have to say i was really quite impressed. The taste was great. Fresh fruit taste, sweet from the chocolate and crunchy from the nuts. My husband helped me finish the samples. Based on the nutritional label, i wouldn't say they are overly healthy, but they are certainly better than a chocolate candy bar.
This brookeside bar is on of my favorite flavor!! I love the mix of cranberrys and dark chocolate. Perfect for a snack.. I feel full and satiated. People who have the sweet tooth will love it! Healthy and delicious!!
I got to sample this from the ChickAdvisor review club. The taste is good. It's not a sweet as other fruit and nut bars I've had before. I like that is really nutritious. I makes a nice snack.
I tried the cranberry with blackberry flavour and really enjoyed it. I had it as a snack between lunch and dinner. I stayed full and did not need any thing else to hold me till dinner. Has a great taste and the texture is good too! A little high in calories but has protein, fibre and iron. Overall a great new product. I will purchase this product.
