Review: 2 Degrees Cherry Almond Food Bar


Brand:  2 Degrees
Flavor:  Cherry Almond
Where to get it: here @ 2 Degrees Food

                Cherries and charity, this bar is a dynamic duo – but no one has to be the Robin. Not only does this Batman & Batman bar taste great, but 2 Degrees also donates meals to hungry children around the word. You can feed yourself while you feed a child who needs your help, what a fantastic business model. The bars have great taste, and aren’t overtly “seedy”, so you can actually taste the featured flavors. The bar I had was full of sweet and subtly tart cherries and I really enjoyed it. It’s dense enough that it won’t disintegrate in your pack or purse too, so have bar may travel, my diabetic and active lifestyle friends!
              
               
Tastes like:  Tart & soft yummy bar
Taste rating:  8/10
Qualities:  Vegan, Vegetarian, Non-GMO, Gluten-free

Review: Mudd + Wyeth Yaff Bar



Brand:  Yaff Bar
Flavor:  Banana Peanut Butter
Where to get it:  here @ Mudd + Wyeth (or here for single bars)


                My first thought about this bar was kind of an odd one:  “This is a bar you could eat and not pay any attention to it at all.” It’s just…mellow. Safe. It won’t let you down. You won’t devour it without chewing, and you won’t rush to the store to buy it by the case, but it’s solid. It’ll make you happy without giving you any extra adrenal action. Great texture for breaking off little pieces if you do indeed want to share it with your dog, as the label suggests. I adore that notion, by the way. If you’re just snacking and not hiking or doing something where you’re trying to get some extra carbs for energy, there are over 200 calories in the bar, so sharing with your dog might not be a bad idea. Or just bag up half for later. I realize this has been a totally weird review, but I mean everything I have said in the most positive of ways. I’m glad Yaff is around.
