Review of Nana's Cookie Bars (Nana Banana)

Nana's -- Cookie Bars (Nana Banana) (vegan, gluten-free)
Overall Rating: 4/5
Summary: Wow...I really did not expect this level of deliciousness. I usually don't expect much from the simple banana flavour, but man...paired with the vanilla extract and maybe the fruit juices, this was so sweet and tasty. The cookie bars are soft and slightly crumbly and powdery (which was really nice!). There were bits of chewiness throughout, which made for a great texture. I love that it is flavoured with natural fruit juices and that the ingredients are simple. I would definitely recommend this product and brand.

Where to buy: Homesense, Winners

The ingredients are simple and I love that. The nutritional profile is okay...nothing special. The calories are not bad for 1 bar, though I don't think the bar is so filling (not surprising since it has next to no fiber or protein). This is kinda the definition of a treat for me...not something I'd have every day, but definitely worth it!
