·         Organic Apple CinnamonThe health advantages of apples and cinnamon have been known for centuries – plus they’re a great flavor combination. Cinnamon also has extremely high antioxidant properties. Dates, oats and almonds add texture and more nutrients.

·         Organic Cherry VanillaCherries bring the health benefits of anthocyanins to this delicious Trailbar, which also includes a refreshing natural vanilla flavor. Dates, oats and almonds add texture and more nutrients.

·         Organic Chocolate CoconutThe unsweetened dark chocolate in this delicious Trailbar is a great source of flavonol antioxidants. In addition to pairing well with chocolate, coconut also brings an abundance of vitamins and minerals. Dates, oats and almonds add texture and more nutrients.

·         Organic Chocolate Peanut ButterPeanuts are nutrient rich and provide a great source of protein. Combined with the antioxidant power of unsweetened dark chocolate, they create a very healthy snack with exceptionally great taste. Dates and oats add texture and more nutrients.

I had the pleasure of trying them all. While the texture was odd at first--I was expecting something more granola bar like, but they are more protein bar-like--once I got over my initial surprise, I enjoyed the bars. The flavors are subtle, but they are there. I also appreciate the fact I can grab em on my out the door. They don't fill me for hours, but then they are not intended to be meal substitutes, but snacks. And I do recommend them for that.
