 kids fight over them!
By N. Albanese-levin
these are delicious and full of green foods-what could be bad? my daughters fight over these bars, i had to get a case. the flavors are natural and realistic, not too sweet. true, the chocolate coating may melt in a toddler’s hand or on their face, but that always happens. i keep them in the fridge to keep that at bay. enjoy!

Really tasty!
By lisbet
I was a little dubious…I couldn’t believe that green stuff would taste good since I’m kind of veggie-phobic, but these things are great! They don’t taste like green stuff at all, just a nice chocolate peanut butter flavor. The bars have a tiny bit of crunchiness, but in a pleasant way and aren’t too sweet. I just found a tasty way to get more green in my diet, I’m so happy! The bars are greenish inside, but if you don’t look you’d never know it.

 Good for a green bar
By Brian C
OK, so it is a green bar and you have to take that into consideration. It’s not a dessert by any means, but it is loaded with good stuff so when Im hungry and need a pick me up, I feel better with regards to eating these than junk food. Plus, they keep my blood sugar in check for a pre-work out meal.
