I love Odwalla products since they contain wholesome ingredients and are full of flavor. I'm especially a fan of their Nourishing Food Bars. You can buy them at health food stores individually or by the box. I've already raved about their Peanut Crunch bars and thought you'd want to hear about the Cranberry C Monster bars.

The taste and texture totally reminded me of fig newtons - very sweet and chewy. I thought the sweetness came from the dried cranberries, but when I looked at the list of ingredients, I saw "fig puree." These bars are also made with date puree, plum puree, dried pears, oats, and crispy rice. I seriously felt like I was eating a soft cookie, not a "healthy" bar.

It's important to note that the bars that are sold individually are slightly bigger than the ones you buy in the box. So this Cranberry C Monster bar is almost twice as big as the Peanut Crunch bars I told you about a while ago.

These Odwalla Nourishing Bars make a quick, easy and filling snack to have anytime. I keep some in my car and desk just in case, and they're also great to have an hour or so before working out. I can't wait to try some of the other flavors.
