    Great!

    I was really surprised by this product. It tasted fresh and the box clearly displayed that it has no artificial flavours. It's a great snack and it's really tasty. The nutritional content shows that this product is pretty healthy with low sugar. I would definitely buy this product and rotate it among other snacks that I eat. Thank you Chick Advisor for letting me try this. I would have never known about it otherwise. #gotitfree

    Tasted Pretty Good

    This one's pretty good, comparable to the Quaker or Nature valley squares but has a more healthy feel to it with the ingredients. Love the healthier choices that taste good:)

    Yes I will buy again

    I received the bars free to review. I found the bars handy and easy to pack. The individual package ensures freshness and great taste to the last bite. The walnuts and whole grains were visible and provided a great balance to the remaining ingredients. They were both crispy and moist with no artificial taste.

    yummy healthy nutty bars !!!

    They were very yummy !!! Soft not crunchy. The size was a bit smaller than what i would have expected from a snack bar, can replace my snack bars for sure as a healthy alternative. It would be great if it had more protein though. I could see myself buying more of these in the future.

    Good quick snack!

    #gotitfree from chick advisor
    These little bars were a nice quick snack. They had a nice taste and a good chewy texture. They were dense enough so they did not fall apart. The texture reminded me of a Newton cookie. At 150 calories, you don't feel like you've endulged or feel guilty. It's just the right size snack to get you by.
    At around $5 for a pack, they seem a bit expensive for what they are. It will not be part of my regular shopping at that price, but maybe a once in a while purchase.

    Just okay

    Please note that I have received this product for free as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club.

    I was asked to review the Good & Simple Walnut + Grains (with a touch of real maple syrup) bars. The first hurdle with those was finding them which proved to be difficult as it seemed like we could find every possible flavour of muffin and bar, but not the right one. We finally managed to get a pack yesterday, so one day before the review deadline and one day before their expiry date.

    I was not looking forward to those almost expired bars after having tried the muffins that still had a lot of time on them and did not feel fresh nor taste good. Surprisingly, I enjoyed the bar a lot more than expected, but again, my standards had been lowered quite a bit following the muffins.

    While the taste is okay - nothing to write home about - I feel the same way I do about the muffins meaning I do not feel there is anything good nor simple with those products. In this case, we are talking about a 40 g cereal bar that contains 6 g of fat, 20 g of carbs, 8 g of sugars and only 2 g of fibre. Why even put the word "grains" in the title if it has little to no fibre? Also, as mentioned for the other product, I don't care for the way the company listed the good ingredients in bold and the not so good in regular characters, it kind of makes you wonder if they think most customers are too dumb to read the entire list and will be satisfied with what is in bold. I have to say, I almost found this to be a bit condescending.

    So the taste is not too bad, the freshness is lacking, the price seems a bit high compared to similar products and it is not nearly as healthy as they would like us to believe.

    Perfect Bars for Snack Time

    I was able to sample these bars for free through Chickadvisor. I like that they are nutritious, less sweet than most goods at the coffee shop and it is very filling.They also didn't skimp on the nuts which offers a lot of nutrition on its own.The only thing I did not like was the hint of maple syrup - it just had a lingering taste that I'm not a fan of. I also think the bars could use some dried fruit to add to the flavor department. Even though I #gotitfree I would buy this in the future.

    Nice for an occastional treat

    #gotitfree from chick advisor and good and simple. The taste was ok not something I would purchase many times. My 2 year old son would not eat these with me at all. I wish it had a little more flavour in them. I may purchase again if on sale as they are quite pricey. I did not share much about the walnut and grain bars with friends because I did not enjoy them as much as their other products.

    Too much walnuts

    I #gotitfree for my honest opinion as part of the chickadvisor product review club.
    I was hoping I would enjoy these nutritional bars but I found the walnuts overpowered the overall flavour of the bar. The hint of maple taste was good but it would have been way tastier if there weren't so many walnuts. These bars were 150 calories and would have been a nice snack option but sadly they are just not for me. The overall quality is great with natural ingredients but the price point of $5 for 5 bars is a little expensive.
