Review of 'Rise Bar' Organic Coconut Acai Bars

Rise Bar - Organic Coconut Acai Bars (vegan)
Overall Rating: 4/5
Summary: I really like this bar. It's super moist, very coconutty (and I'm a massive coconut fan), creamy, nutty, and mildly sweet. The nutritional profile is pretty good with 4g of fiber and protein, though I'd like more protein for a 210 calorie bar. Especially on a workout day.

Where to buy: Whole Foods Market, online
