Price:
I got this bar for an impressive 67¢ at my local grocery store. All of the ZBar flavors fall in this price range.

Taste:
Pros-
Love love love this bar. Its soft with chunks of organic chocolate chips in it. Its just the perfect texture, taste, and size for an on the go run. As I am writing this, this is actually the only product I ate today that I do not have a picture of because I ate it on my way to class (my last class of the semester, whoop!). But no worries, I have another in my cabinet so as soon as I eat one again I will be sure to take a picture of it.

Cons-
Because it is a bar for children, it isn't too big. This is not a bad thing at all if you are eating it as a snack, but this is not a bar to be relied on for protein/energy boost or as a meal replacement. It is a great snack, as I said, and will definitely help tie you over until your next meal, but shouldn't be relied on for protein or as a meal.

Conclusion-
Very tasty snack bar. I will definitely keep these stocked in my cabinet.

WW USERS - 2pts for the bar!

Price:
I got this at the local Giant for $1.00.

Taste:

Pros-
As I stated in my introduction post, I am a sucker for anything blueberry, and I am baised towards anything Clif© brand because every single thing that I have tried of that brand has been incredibly fantastic. So, I kinda knew where this would be heading, I unwrapped it to find an oat bar with a yogurt-appearing dip on the bottom and a coat of mashed blueberries on the top. The blueberry aroma was extremely strong. The first bite of this was exactly what I was looking for. It was so fantastic. What an excellent bar. The taste was exactly what I had been hoping it would be when I purchased it. While the blueberry flavor was strong, it was not overpowering. The taste of the yogurty coating on the bottom was still there and the oats as well. The texture was chewy.

Cons-
I honestly can't think of any.

Conclusion-
I love Clif©. I really do. So good and healthy and not pricey. I will definitely keep buying these.

WW USERS - 6pts for the bar!

Price:
I got this bar from the local Giant for about $1.50. Not too shabby. I've seen worse but I have seen better.

Taste:
Pros-
I had a Kashi© Crunchy Bar yesterday and was less than impressed, so I wasn't too sure what to expect. But the second I bit in to it, I was highly impressed. The bar is very dense and quite rich, satisfying those of us with a sweet tooth. It was quite candy-like (which I wasn't too surprised about with the sugar content in these bars). I would relate it more with a candy bar than a nutrition bar. I wouldn't normally spend that amount of points on a bar, but since I knew I was going for a 2mi run after breakfast, I decided it would be alright today, in order to provide me the energy and protein I needed for the run. I was pretty full after eating this. I like to have 2 seperate items for breakfast and space them out like an hour or so, so usually I'll have a bowl of cereal and an apple or some grapes, and I'll eat the cereal when I wake up and eat the fruit as I am walking to my morning class, so it had been a bit since I had my filling bagel and I found myself full satisfied and very energized for my run. The taste of this was extremely delicious.

Cons-
Pretty high carb/sugar/calorie count. I realize this is probably more intended as a protein bar before a workout, which is what I used it for but it isn't something I will throw 6pts away on frequently.

Conclusion-
Very tasty, but too high calorie/sugar count for me to eat it often.
