Kind Fruit + Nut Bars
Walking through the health food store, I am always looking for new snacks to try. I look for ones that have few ingredients, so when I came upon KIND Fruit + Nut Bars, and I could see the whole nuts and pieces of dried fruit, I had to pick some up.
There are tons of flavors to choose from like Macadamia & Apricot, Walnut & Date, and Banana & Oat Bran. They are gluten-free, dairy-free, have no trans fat, no GMO, are a good source of fiber, and have no added preservatives, colors, or flavors.
How do they taste? So delicious! They're got a great chewy and crunchy texture that was very satisfying. All the natural ingredients make this bar so flavorful, and a great afternoon snack before or after a workout. Plus, they're conveniently wrapped, so you can stash them in your desk, purse, or gym bag.
They're made in Australia with all natural ingredients, and 5% of the profits go to OneVoice, a PeaceWorks foundation that fosters co-existence in the Middle East, so they're good for your body and for the world.

These bars reminded me a little of LARABARS, so here's a chart comparing the two:
| 1 Bar | Calories | Fat (g) | Sodium (mg) | Carbs (g) | Fiber (g) | Sugars (g) | Protein (g) | Ingredients |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| KIND Bar (Almond & Coconut) | 190 | 14 | 25 | 14 | 4 | 11 | 4 | almonds, honey, shredded coconut, coconut chips, glucose, puffed rice, chicory fiber, soy lecithin |
| KIND Bar (Almond & Apricot) | 170 | 11 | 25 | 16 | 5 | 13 | 3 | almonds, apricots, honey, shredded coconut, coconut chips, glucose, puffed rice, chicory fiber, soy lecithin |
| LARABAR (cashew cookie) | 210 | 12 | 0 | 23 | 3 | 14 | 6 | cashews, dates |
| LARABAR (Key Lime Pie) | 200 | 10 | 0 | 28 | 4 | 20 | 4 | dates, cashews, almonds, unsweetened coconut, lime juice concentrate |
I know at first glance it looks like these have a lot of fat, but keep in mind that the fat comes from the nuts, so it's healthy fat your body needs.
