Taste of Nature Review - a Healthy and Delicious Snack!

Most of the time I like to make our own treats.  And most of the time they are pretty healthy, with the occasional indulgence in sugary cookies, or even cake, mostly for The Captain...

But once in a while I come across a ready-made product that is so good and so delicious that I have to share it with you.

These Taste of Nature Organic Fruit and Nut Bars are one of those very special products. 

Everything you see comes straight from nature.  Nothing artificial, no fillers and no chemicals with hard to pronounce names!

Certified Organic - Gluten Free -  Vegan -  Kosher

Non GMO - Low Glycemic Index

Just take a look at a few of these gorgeous bars:

Taste of Nature bars are sweetened with agave syrup which ranks very low in the glycemic index.  As a result six of the eleven Taste of Nature bars were clinically tested and attained GI scores ranging from 38.2 to 51.7, well below the low GI target of 55.  This makes them a particularly good choice for a snack between meals that will satisfy hunger and maintain blood sugar levels... no highs and lows.

Whether you are watching sodium, dairy, wheat, cholesterol or are vegan or vegetarian, Taste of Nature meets the most stringent nutritional requirements with outstanding, satisfying taste.

There are 11 different combinations in the line up, and they are all mouth-wateringly tempting and absolutely satisfying and delicious. They are very simply packaged in a clear cello wrapper so that you can see exactly what you are getting.... and I bet you will not be able to choose just one or two!

It is so nice to find a really healthy pre-packaged snack that travels well. Stash one in your purse,your glovebox, your desk, your pocket, or your gym bag, and you have a nutritious snack that will easily take you to your next meal or give you the energy you need to carry on with your busy day.

The Captain and I have been enjoying them immensely... usually we open one and share it, savoring every little bite!

For my Weight Watchers friends, I want to tell you that these bars have between 150 and 220 calories and they range from 4 to 8 WW P+ each.
