    Great bars!

    I tested these bars feeling like I'd probably not enjoy them much, but I was really surprised by how much I liked them. The flavour is really good. I love that they're made without artificial ingredients. The portion amount is good and the bars are quite filling. Unlike some bars that leave you hungry and wanting to wolf down a box, these bars are quite substantial. A great snack option.

    Perfect cranberry orange snack

    Thank you @chickadvisor for selecting me to try this product #gotitfree. I love anything with cranberries and orange. This combination with flax is perfect for a midday snack. It tastes great and easy to take with me since they are individually wrapped. A bit expensive but worth it.

    Great alternative to granola bar for on the go snack

    I got this package of five Good & Simple bars for free in exchange for an honest review and I was very excited to try it. I do a lot of home baking, and found this a great option when short on time and energy and don't feel like baking. It had a nice fresh citrus taste, and was pleasantly sweet without being too much. The cranberry added a tart contrast. It was moist and satisfied my hunger when I didn't have time for breakfast and needed something on the go. It reminded me very much of the soft jam filled granola bars, yet seemed fresh and almost home made. I will consider purchasing again to keep at work for a quick snack or breakfast.

    Love the orange taste!

    I received #GoodAndSimple Cranberry Orange +Flex bars from #ChickAdvisor and I #gotitfree. I love baked goods, and most of the time I bake my own.
    These were tasty, not too sweet, did not have artificial flavour, instead I was able to taste the orange and the distinct cranberry taste in the chewy middle. I definitely did not like the flex seeds on the top. I did like that they were individually wrapped - easy to just throw it in your bag, this also keeps it moist.
    According to the nutritional facts they are a bit on the high cal side. I'm not sure on their health value but for such a small bar they are way too high in calorie.
    Also I think they are also a bit over priced. They are not so extreme as to warrant the price. Sure they are better then some other store bought that stay on the shelves for months but only barely and they do not taste oh so fresh.
    I would still recommend it to friends, after all they are a better choice then a lot of other possibilities in the store.

    Great for Snacking or Breakfast

    These bars are delicious! I had these as a snack and at breakfast (served with yogurt, they are quite filling). Even my husband, who doesn't usually eat baked goods, enjoyed them. The cranberry orange taste is subtle and not overpowering as sometimes this combination can be. I will definitely be purchasing these again.

    Good taste

    I received these coupons to try in return for my honest review. #gotitfree It's good to have some snacks around that are easy to grab and go and these are the ones i would gravitate towards. They tasted soft and fresh. Maple syrup is a good alternative for sugar.

    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.

    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

    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.
