Bar Review: Yotta Bars! (Veggies!?)


This bar is definitely different from what you're used to! Yotta Bars have all sorts of vegetables hidden in them- yet somehow they're still sweet and yummy!

The Cherry flavor is said to be their most popular. Other than Cherry, there's Apple Cinnamon and Orange. Cherry was my favorite! =)

Texture: It's not cereal-y, grain-y or chewy. It's a moist bar.

Taste: Seeing asparagus in the ingredients, I didn't think they would taste good at all. But they are tasty! This isn't something you'd have to satisfy your sweet tooth, but it's definitely a delicious snack to keep you fueled. There is a light sweetness to them.

Nutritionals:
(for the Cherry)

Ingredients: Baby oats, brown rice syrup, honey, pear juice concentrate, dehydrated vegetables (tomatoes, asparagus, sweet potatoes, carrots, red bell peppers, beets, corn), crisp rice, rolled oats, evaporated cane juice, dried apples, natural flavors, canola oil.

Bonuses: (from website)
  • 1 serving (½ cup veggies & fruit) in each bar
  • Low fat, low sodium
  • No saturated fats, no cholesterol
  • Excellent source of vitamin C
  • Good source of vitamin A and iron
  • No refined sugars
  • No trans fats
  • No dairy, no preservatives
  • Nothing Artificial
  • Non-GMO, no soy

Overall Review: I really like these bars. I find it's tough to fit veggies in my diet (fruit is so much more portable!), and these bars really come in handy. If you're looking for variety in your snacks and care about what you put in your body, I say you should give these bars a try. They don't taste like the traditional bars out there, but they're really tasty still. And the added veggies rock!

I know with a lot of readers, the trouble is finding the products in their town. I've only seen Yotta Bars in Whole Foods and on Amazon so far.
