My parents are both athletes, so nutrition bars have been a staple in my life for as long as I can remember. When Mom came home from running Boston last week, she told me that she and my dad received vegan nutrition bars that were so delicious, she was surprised they were vegan. I didn't believe her. Nutrition bars don't taste delicious. They're what you eat when you're hungry and can't get a meal.
This morning, however, I'm a believer. I arrived at her house last night, and she gave me an almond crunch PureFit bar to eat for breakfast because she didn't have any food in the house. OMG it tastes like FOOD! It's got almonds... and goodness... and it doesn't have that icky nutrition-bar taste! It's the next best thing to eating straight-up marzipan, but it's got the 40-30-30 ratio and 18g of protein! I was shocked.
Anyway, I had to share this newfound knowlege with my other vegan peeps. This bar was hands-down the best I've ever tasted, and I can't wait to try the other flavors. Also, apparently they don't melt, so if that's true they'd be an ideal choice for leaving in your car or purse for those times when you don't have vegan food handy.
Two thumbs up! :rockon:
