Review of 'Taste of Nature' Organic Snack Bar (Brazilian Nut Fiesta)

Taste of Nature - Brazilian Nut Fiesta (vegan)
Overall Rating: 4/5
Summary: mild sweetness, super crunchy and fresh nuts, and soft juicy raisins; they definitely were a tad stingy with the Brazil nuts though. I didn't really get the walnut flavour, even though there are walnuts. The rice crisps added a very nice texture. I would buy this again.

Where to buy: Shopper's Drug Mart, Fortinos, Bulk Barn, Costco, Highland Farms, Metro, Wal-Mart, Wanigan




Ingredients: Raisins*, peanuts*, agave nectar*, sunflower seeds*, almonds*, Brazil nuts*, brown rice syrup*, walnuts*, whole grain brown rice crisps*, pumpkin seeds*, sunflower oil blend* (sunflower oil*, mixed tocopherols, rosemary extract*), agar.

Yay; organic ingredients! The ingredients make for a good nutritional profile and I find that this is a filling bar that I'd definitely buy again. I would have liked more fiber, usually looking for a minimum of 3g.
