    Good and Simple!

    Like the brand says these bars are good and simple. I like that they ingredients aren't artificial and I like that the flavour isn't overpowering. I am not generally a fan of over-sweetened foods, so the fact that these bars live up to their name is a good thing! The price is a bit much in my option, but I might purchase these on sale as a healthy snack.

    Not 100% Sold

    I'm not 100% sold on the brand and the product they are selling... I wouldn't normally buy a pre-made backed good like this due to the added preservatives and increased sodium (additional form of preservatives). The sodium was high at 8% for a small, 40g portion. I found these were good for days I was on the go, forgot to eat and needed a quick fix. I didn't like the packaging because the ingredients list highlighted in bold all the "Good&Simple;" ingredients while the other "not so good" ingredients were left normal in hopes no one would notice?

    I really wanted to like these as a quick fix between meetings or while travelling but I can't buy them knowing the other ingredients. I would have loved for the company to keep it "Good and Simple" with natural/wholesome ingredients. I would much rather make a big batch homemade and freeze them to take out when I needed them.

    Price Point- I found this was average/comparable to other pre-packaged baked goods. $3.50 for 5, 40g bars.

    Nice tasting, not terribly filling

    I got to try the Good & Simple Cranberry Orange + Flax Bars for free as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club #goitfree

    I enjoyed the taste and texture of the bars, but they were a bit smaller than I expected. They weren't super filling so I don't know if I would incorporate them into my regular routine because if I'm going for something quick, I need it to fill me up!

    Nevertheless, I enjoyed the taste and as a nice light snack they fit the bill. I'd recommend giving them a try.

    Grab & Go Snack

    I received a free sample of these through ChickAdvisor, and I was pretty excited to give it a try. I put a couple in SO's lunch pail and grabbed one for my own. They're individually wrapped, so they stand up pretty well to travel in a lunch bag or purse. I liked the cranberries and the orange flavour was very faint, I could have used a little more, though the flax seeds gave a nice textural variety. However the bars did have a bit of a crumb-y dryness to them that is sort-of inherent to the nature of a baked bar. They would be a great on-the-go option for hiking or boating, or just to have something on hand. #Gotitfree

    Would choose other Good & Simple products before this bar

    Overall, I wasn't too impressed with the bar. The orange/cranberry taste was good, but the bar was quite dense and dry. Also wasn't a fan of the flax seeds on top of the bar. Have tried other Good & Simple products which I preferred.

    Not a big fan

    So I like the softness of this bar but I'm not a big fan of the taste can't really pin point what exactly it is but I think it's the little seeds the texture is meh lol the subtle orange flavor isn't that great. im not sure if the orange raspberry r the best mix for one another. Maybe I would recommend it if it was a different flavor but this one not so much well actually maybe to my friends that r into these types of bars but not everyone. I will not be adding this to my morning routine lol . But thank u for this sample and opportunity to try! #GoodandSimple #Gotitfree

    Way better than Nutrigrain

    Orange cranberry is my favourite nonchocolate/fruity combination for baked goods and bars alike. It reminded me of Nutrigrain without the more random chemical ingredients, and with a better texture, though it was close. I would get these again if they were on sale since the price seemed a bit on the higher end, and the expiry date was rather short.

    Good and simple cranbrerryand orange flax bars

    I had the opportunity to try these bars with a full value coupon from chick advisor! #gotitfree. The overall texture and moodiness of the bars were great however I was not a fan of the cranberry orange flavour. I will definitely give another flavour a try!

    I was so thrilled that I was chosen to taste and review this product . As a working mother I dont have time to cook and prepare healthy treats for me and my kids, I got the coupons and redeemed them at grocery store . The taste was great , and it has many grains inside them with means healthy and delicious at the same time .

    Tasty Bars

    A very tasty bar with artificial colours or flavours. The first thing I noticed was how each bar was individually wrapped. Wonderful to keep them fresh or take in my purse. I tried the Cranberry Orange & Flax flavour of Good & Simple bars. I immediately noticed the taste of orange like a fresh squeezed orange would taste. The textures and flavours go very well together. You bite into chewy with oats and cranberries in it and the flax seeds. Another thing I noticed was how moist these bars are which for me was a bonus. The sodium content is a bit high for my liking but the taste is so good I will buy these as a once in awhile treat.
