Review of 'Nature's Path' Crunchy Granola Bars (Macaroon Crunch)

Nature's Path -- Crunchy Granola Bars (Macaroon Crunch) (vegan)
Overall Rating: 5/5
Summary: wow...seriously. I am a coconut fanatic, so this was amazing. It was super coconutty AND chocolatey, very sweet, and had pockets to chocolate chips...nicely done! The ingredients are organic, simple and nutritious and although it's relatively high in calories, it has healthy fats, a nice dose of fiber and protein, and just really delicious. I recommend this and would buy it again.

Where to buy: Bulk Barn
