KIND Bars, Almond & Apricot, Gluten Free, 1.4oz, 12 Count

I hoard this particular flavor of KIND bar in strategic locations - in my gym bag, my purse, my desk drawer, and my kitchen cabinet. It provides a tasty energy kick to fuel or refuel before/after my HIIT and spinning workouts. When I'm traveling for work, I am sure to pack a few in my suitcase and carry on in case I need something to eat on my plane ride or at my destination when I don't have a good idea of my immediate food options. These bars have served as a light meal replacement as well as a dessert on the road.I have tried many other flavors, but stuck with this one. It tastes more like coconut than apricot, to be honest. Compared to other energy bars, such as Clif and Luna Bars, I find the taste of these to be much closer to "real food" and not at all synthetic. I'm not an ingredient snob, but I'll admit I like that I know exactly what's in each bar - relatively few simple ingredients.I'm still not tired of the flavor after 6+ 12 packs. If you're looking for a savory snack, I would say look elsewhere, but these are not overly sweet.Pricey, but it's much more economical to order from Amazon than to pick these up in NYC.So, if you're looking for a relatively sweet, tasty light meal or snack on-the-go: it doesn't get much better than this.

Finally it was agreed that they would meet at Hooters, because thewaitresses had big breasts and wore short shorts.Ten years later, at age 50, the friends once again discussedwhere they should meet for lunch.

PROs: One of the better tasting granola bars. And this is from the guy who normally doesn't like apricots! I bought these for my wife, was hungry, tried some out of "desperation" one day when I couldn't escape my desk for a real lunch. God they're good! It is not "work" to eat them. They are tasty and satisfying. Each bar has 4 grams of protein (OK, no big deal there) 11 grams fat and is only 7% of recommended carbs for the day. Low sodium.I can recommend these and will certainly be buying them again.ONLY CON: Kind of small - maybe 6 medium bites or 5 large bites. The bar is 40 grams (1.41 ounces).

These taste great: the apricot flavor is not too overpowering, the bar itself is not too sweet, and I personally love the coconut aspect of it. One bar is honestly enough to fill you up if you are hankering for a lunch but either can't make it, or are on a diet. I don't suggest it as a meal replacement though.Also, this bar is perfect for a post work-out snack, whether it be intense cardio, or weightlifting.My only question is some of the ingredients: "Chicory Fiber" and "Apple Fiber"?? Are these merely included to up the Fiber content to fool carb-conscious folks into picking these up? Are these fibers even effective fibers??USEFUL: If you hate coconut (which a lot of people inexplicably do), you will not like this bar. There seems to be an overabundance of coconut in this bar, from the combination of the "Shredded Coconut" and the "Coconut Chips". I am assuming they made those distinctions because combining them into one Coconut ingredient would have pushed it ahead of the other main ingredients on the list, and this is supposed to be an "Almond & Apricot" bar.

Every once in a while, I'll have a KIND bar for my 3 'o clock snack at work. I had no problem polishing off my whole box in around 2 weeks all by myself, because they're so delicious!Like other reviewers have said, the bar tastes really sweet. I'm a candy/chocolate-loving person and I prefer the KIND bar for my sugar fix. It does have 16g carbs, of which 13g are sugar, so while it may be "all natural", it has quite a bit of "all natural" sugar. While not the healthiest snack option, its satisfying and yummy enough to keep me away from my even less healthy options.Though I enjoyed the Almond & Apricot bar, my favorite is the Macadamia and Apricot. If you're worried about a lot of chewiness like some of the other reviewers, try the Macadamia option. It is truly melt-in-your-mouth delicious and the soft macadamias perfectly complement the sweet chewiness of the fruit and coconut with an amazing texture. I haven't tried any other flavors, but I will soon!

These bars are made from a host of natural sources and taste great, but are also calorie dense and high in fats (nuts are high in fat), high in carbs, and are very sweet. I ordered the apricot/coconut which is heavenly, and almost inhaled two boxes. I started to notice some weight gain and when I checked the calorie count, I was shocked to see that one little bar has up to 190 calories! I was eating up to 3-4 bars a day because they taste so good and are small and light. I realized that I consuming over 700 additional calories daily. Yikes! I think these are great for athletes and runners who burn lots of calories and need the extra fuel or as a snack in between meals. The only problem is that they are small and light and for me I don't get enough satisfaction from just one bar.

Pretty good taste. A bit hard to chew though.

Perfect

Ces barres de céréales sont parfaites: excellentes en goût (légèrement sucré salé), excellentes en qualité nutritionnelle et faibles en sucre. J'ai la maladie coeliaque et des soucis de glycémie et vraiment elles sont bien proportionnées. 5/5Gros bémol pour le vendeur qui ajuste son prix à la hausse quand les gens s'y intéressent. En gros, depuis que j'ai acheté ces céréales elles ont pris plus de dix euros. A surveiller donc pour les avoir à moins cher mais sans cliquer pour ne pas faire grimper le prix. C'est pas trop sympa comme pratique. 0/5
