Review of 'Rise' Breakfast Bar (Crunchy Honey Walnut)

Rise -- Breakfast Bar (Crunchy Honey Walnut)
Overall rating: 4.5/5
Summary: This is a very sweet bar--just the way I like it. You can really taste the date and walnut flavours and the texture is chewy with no mess. I love that although it's a small bar, it's quite dense and filling. The ingredients are wholesome and natural and I'd definitely recommend this bar.

Where to buy: Whole Foods Market, online



Ingredients: dates, walnuts, honey, raisins, crisp rice, organic amaranth, salt.

Ahh, how refreshing...simple ingredients and few ingredients. The nutritional profile is good, though I'd prefer a bar with more fiber. It's low in sodium and 'bad' fats and has a decent amount of protein. I'd recommend this bar and would buy it again.
