Review of 'Nature's Path' -- Pumpkin-N-Spice Granola Bar

Nature's Path -- Pumpkin-N-Spice™ Flax Plus® Granola Bars (vegan)
Overall Rating: 3.5
Summary: this was overall nice, but I noted a couple of stale-ish parts. The spicyness wasn't that present, but the pumpkin seeds were enjoyable. I really appreciate that the ingredients are organic, even the soy. The nutritional content is quite good; low calorie and decent protein/fibre and super healthy fats.

Where to buy: Bulk Barn, Fortinos


Ingredients: Granola* (rolled oats*, evaporated cane juice*, soy oil*), tapioca syrup*, brown rice flour*, pumpkin seeds* (pumpkin seeds*, salt), invert cane syrup*, flaxseeds*, acacia gum*, soy oil*, evaporated cane juice*, sea salt, spice*, molasses*. *Organic. Contains soy. Produced in a facility that uses dairy, peanuts and tree nuts.

Loving the ingredients. I have no complaints. The nutrition facts are great as well, with few calories, healthy fats, low sodium, and a decent amount of fiber and protein given the calorie count. Very nice.
