Review of 'Mariani Honeybar' (Trail Mix)

Mariani Honeybar -- Trail Mix (not vegan)
Overall Rating: 4/5
Summary: This is quite good. The sunflower seeds are prominent...my favourite part. It's super nutty and fresh. I loved the honeyed chew and plump, juicy raisins. It's very sweet because of the honey and raisins...perfectly so. It's a very filling snack bar, relatively low-calorie, and high in protein. Healthy, simple ingredients...I recommend and would buy this again.

Where to buy: US store locator; Canada (Sobeys, Loblaws); order online

Ingredients: Peanuts, Honey, Raisins, Sunflower Kernels, Almonds, Pumpkin Seeds.

The nutritional profile is good, with lots of healthy fats from the nuts and natural sugars. There's no cholesterol and 0 sodium (although I'm not sure this is accurate; it is from the website). There's a solid dose of protein, which I love. It is a really good start to the morning. Filling!
