The Why:  Packed with dried cranberries, raisins, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, walnuts, almond halves and 16 grams of whole grains. Also, they’re all natural, with no fillers, added oils, artificial colors or preservatives. And they’re vegan and wheat-free. Honest Foods was co-created by Andrew Aussie, a former vice president of marketing at Kashi. (www.Honest-Foods.com)  

The Health Bonus: a good source of fiber – 4 grams. Also includes 6g of protein and is a good source of phosphorus, magnesium, and manganese. Additionally the bars contain 200 mgs of Omega-3s (ALA)

What We Liked Best: The taste, and the “clean label” with all natural ingredients.

What We Liked Least: A bit high in calories, and too much added sugar – even if it is organic (e.g., organic evaporated cane juice) 

What It Replaces: Nutrient-void cookies, muffins or candy bars.

The Price: 12 Pack is $20.49

Other Offerings: (Squares) Choco P’nut Butter, Cran Lemon Zest and Apple Ginger Spice.
