Review of 'Odwalla' Orange Cranberry Bar

Odwalla -- Orange Cranberry Bar (vegan)
Overall Rating: 3/5
Summary: the bar is made of real fruit and whole grains. The cranberries were nice and fresh and the bar was very sweet. The bar was sweet but the orange bits had a bitter taste, which was kinda nice at first, but I got a bit tired afterward. I did find the bar very dry for my preferences. As I'm not a big citrus fan, I personally wouldn't buy this again.

Where to buy: US (Harris Teeter)/Canada
