A good friend of mine was kind enough to give me a bar today. I am gluten-free and she is trying to more health conscious. It was a Mrs. May’s Trio Bar which is a vegan/no trans fat/Kosher/No additive/No cholesterol/No preservative/ free of gluten, dairy, wheat and gmo bar. I sampled the tropical bar that had cashews, almonds, pistachios, tropical fruits, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, dates, raisins, rice malt, natural flavors, cane juice and sea salt.
The make up of this bar reminded me of a KIND bar which I also love eating however the KIND bars are a little softer on the jaw. I found the trio bar to be hard to chew and a tad crumbly but I imagined as I ate it that my jaw was working out therefore using up as many calories as I was putting in. at 230 calories I find it a high calorie snack but it’s mostly from the nuts and fruit which I am okay with.
The flavor was nice, tropical but not too tropical. it was sweet but not overly sweet. It was fun to eat with all the nuts and fruit although the crunch combined with an occasional soft raisin was concerning but over all I enjoyed these and the fact that they can be purchased right now at our Costco is a definite plus.
I would really love to try all their other products. Looking on their website I am quite interested in sampling them. But that will have to be another day another time because I do not see them widely distributed up in this area yet. But If I do get to sample them I will let you all know how I enjoyed them.
