Overall Rating: 2.5/5
Summary: honestly, I wanted to badly to like these because Mrs May's is a great brand. The texture and flavour just didn't do much for me -- it tasted stale and wasn't sweet enough to make up for it. I would have actually rated this a 2/5 if not for the health perks of the brand (vegan, cholesterol free, non-GMO, etc.).

Based on the ingredients and nutrition information (high protein), I really wanted these to be good. I really liked that there were only a few ingredients and that they were natural.
Unfortunately, all three flavours were disappointing in both texture and flavour. They did not taste very fresh. I expected it to be either like a hard brittle with a lot of crunch or a chewy strip with a slight crunch from the sesame seeds. Instead, it was not very crunchy or chewy. It was somewhere in between and felt stale when I bit into it.
The Pomegranate Blueberry Strip had a bitterish taste that I didn't like. All three simply didn't deliver. They weren't sweet enough and it really makes you appreciate how important texture is in evaluating foods.
Like I said, I really wanted this to be yummy. I have had Mrs Mays products before and been impressed. This one simply wasn't a hit with me.
