Product Review: Odwalla Nourishing Food Bar
When I go grocery shopping my favorite aisles are the natural foods section, because I love to find new foods I don’t feel badly about eating, or bad after eating, as the case may be. I also look for new products that hide veggies from my finicky three year-old baby boy. Hey! They say if he won’t go to the veggie, bring the veggie to him! Well, I say that too!
So slowly gliding along the aisles my eyes hit upon a display of a new item. Odwalla, a company that makes these juices I love, has come out with a Nourishing Food Bar line. After studying the flavors my store carried, I decide on the Carrot Raisin. I figure, it would at least be sort of like carrot cake and maybe my son would enjoy them!
Well with the first few bites he was skeptical and then he downed the entire bar! The small bite I managed to snag for myself revealed they indeed were more carrot in flavor then I originally anticipated, but still very good! My son calls them the orange candy bars, because the bars are wrapped in orange plastic wrappers! Each bar has only 110 calories and 2 grams of protein (at least the Carrot Raisin ones).
The majority of the ingredients are composed of organics, whole foods and produce! How can one go wrong?? With the success of this flavor, you can bet these Nourishing Food bars are going to be a staple in my pantry for some time to come!
With so many flavors, maybe you can find your favorite, too! Flavors like: Superfood with 500 mg of Spirulina, Super protein with 16g of protein, Cranberry C Monster, Berries GoMega with 1000 mg of vegetarian Omega, Chocolate Chip Peanut, Peanut Crunch, Carrot, Banana Nut, Choco-walla, and Strawberry Pomegranate.
