KIND Healthy Grains Granola Bars, Variety Pack, Gluten Free, 1.2 Ounce Bars, 15 Count

Out of all the KIND bars, these are my faves. The first KIND bars I ever tried where the ones that are mainly nuts and they are just TOO hard and chewy. These are just chewy. I bought these in a variety box, set of 3, mainly for my hubs to take to work for snack.I must be part bird because I love the little pieces of millet in them! I also love that they are nonGMO - I don't care what anyone says, I personally choose to live a nonGMO lifestyle to the best of my ability. The naysayers claim that GMOs are totally harmless but this statement is not based on fact (mainly because there have been NO long term studies). I do know that when I switched to an organic/nonGMO lifestyle, I feel so much better overall and these granola bars only add to that. I love that I can eat them without the guilt. I look back and cannot believe that I used to eat processed junk like those boxes of 99 cent snack cakes. (bleh)The packages I received were fresh and since I ordered them at the end of April, they didn't melt during shipment. Melting would be my only concern if these were bought in the middle of the summer. Other than that, they are perfect and I can't think of a thing negative to say about them (other than price, but hey, at least it's not going to cost me thousands later in medical bills) I'd rather pay a little more now than a lot later for not eating healthy when I was younger.Disclaimer:This product was a PERSONAL PURCHASE for myself at the normal retail price.

These bars are a healthy option for those of us looking for a quick, convenient snack bar. I have tried several flavors of KIND products so far, and I like or love almost every one of them. I trust the brand and wouldn’t hesitate to purchase more of their products. The Peanut Butter Chocolate is my favorite flavor so far, although I feel like it should have more peanut taste. I have been buying a few boxes at a time via Subscribe & Save to have on hand and I think they are well worth the price.These are light, crunchy/crispy, sweet but not too sweet. I keep a few of these in the car for “emergencies” or just in case I have to skip a meal (not to say that this would fill you up). At home, this would be a good dessert or afternoon munchie. I wouldn’t use this as a sport nutrition bar; there is not enough protein (2.5-3 g) for that level. But it might be just about right alongside a cup of yogurt, however.I think that you might not appreciate the taste if you are used to very sweet, processed snacks of this kind, but for those of us that lean towards healthy foods and whole grains, these would be just about right.These bars are gluten free, no cholesterol, low sodium, relatively low fat and non GMO products with a nice level of fiber. At 150 calories a bar, I think it’s a reasonable choice.

This variety pack is absolutely delicious. Of the three, the big surprise was that the pumpkin flavor was my favorite. Who would have guessed. I purchased the variety pack to sample the two that I had never tried before and ended up liking the one better than all the rest.While these bars are a bit pricey for a small snack, I imagine it has to do with the great ingredients added. Everything seems top notch and of the best quality. While some KIND bars have recently had hemp oil extract added in (something that many companies warn against, specially if they conduct urinalysis tests), these little bars have no such ingredients.Each bar is just big enough to satisfy the craving, but not so large as to fill you up. For only ~150 calories, they serve as a healthy alternative to regular candy bars (~200+ calories).Overall, I'd say these bars are a healthy alternative, offer great ingredients, and a very nice selection of flavors. I'm a big fan of KIND bars and while they are a bit pricey, I am okay buying them from time to time.

I toss one of these in my kids' lunches because they really like them nearly as well as a cookie. They are a really good source of whole grain, lots of oats, and 2-3 grams of protein, 150 calories. Both kids like them. Surprisingly, they both seem to like the Maple Pumpkin seed just as much as the one with chunks of chocolate. My daughter saves hers to eat in the afternoon when she says she's feeling "droopy" and my son says he gobbles his with lunch. Either way, it's another way sot get some good food into them and avoid the dreaded, "Mom, why don't you put in some Oreos."

I didn't read it carefully enough, or understand what I was reading. . . . I was expecting Kind Bars, the fruit-&-nut kind that are sold individually at the health food store the way candy bars are sold, singly or by the box. These turn out to be "Healthy Grains," not the Fruit-&-Nut bars. They're mostly grains, no fruit and no nuts. But they seem to be nutritionally equivalent, and less messy in the hot weather. I'm not unhappy about this, just surprised. I may like them more than the fruit-&-nut that I'm accustomed to!

I have gone gluten-free and it is so nice to have a snack or a meal supplement that tastes good. Kind has many flavors, so everyone can find a flavor (or more than one) that they like. I always carry one with me, in case my blood sugar drops. I take them with me if I am going to a party or get-together where I know I won't be able to have cake or whatever they may have. I don't feel as though I am missing out as much when I have one of my Kind bars. My husband will even eat one of my bars for a snack. He is not on my gluten-free diet and he enjoys them too.
