Wow to these ingredients...no issues to report, just really delicious-sounding ingredients. For the 210 calories, you definitely get your nutrition's worth. There's a good amount of good fats, no cholesterol, 5g of fiber and 5g of protein. That's great! If that wasn't enough, there's 10% vitamin A and 25% calcium. The sodium is a tad high for me, but I'd definitely recommend this bar and likely buy it again, myself!
