Review of Nature's Path -- Chococonut Granola Bars

Nature's Path -- Chococonut (vegan)
Overall Rating: 3.5/5
Summary: I had higher expectations for this bar...the chocolate and coconut flavours should be a little richer and deeper in flavour. There are a lot of chocolate chips, but I didn't get enough of the coconut flavour. The bar is medium sweet and quite nice, overall. I would recommend this bar, especially for chocolate lovers. I just would personally prefer more of a coconut flavour and a denser bar with more complex textures than rice puffs.

Where to buy: Bulk Barn, Fortinos

Fantastic ingredients; pretty much wholly organic. The nutrition facts are decent. There's 2g of fiber and protein and it's low calorie, but I definitely need a bar that's more protein and fiber heavy, especially as an active person who's always hungry!
