Review of 'Taste of Nature' Organic Snack Bar (California Almond Valley)

Taste of Nature - California Almond Valley (vegan)
Overall Rating: 4.5/5
Summary: Oh, so good! It's a thicker bar than I expected and very filling. I loved the texture, with little sesame seeds, chunky, crunchy nuts; and chewy juicy raisins. I enjoyed the sunflower seed flavour as well. The nutritional profile is quite good (except I'd like more protein/fiber) and the ingredients are simple and nutritious. I highly recommend this bar!
