Review of 'The Simply Bar' Peanut Butter Chocolate

The Simply Bar -- Peanut Butter Chocolate (vegan)
Overall Rating: 3.5/5
Summary: This is a very light bar, so it's not as filling as I'd like. There is a nice peanut butter flavour and I do like that the cocoa gives a slightly bitter taste while being very sweet. The nutritional profile is really great, with 4g of fiber, 16g of fiber, and 15% iron. I would recommend this bar for its wholesome ingredients and balanced nutritional profile.

Where to buy: online, Whole Foods, Sobeys, Bulk Barn, Fortinos, Metro, Got the Goods Nutrition (Brampton), S & H Health Foods (Brampton)


Ingredients: soy crisps (soy protein isolate, tapioca starch, salt), organic brown rice syrup, inulin (chicory root fiber), peanut butter, vegetable glycerin, organic cocoa, natural flavour
