Review - Freeyumm Apple Oat Bar

Brand:  Freeyumm

Flavor:  Honey Apple Oat Bar

Where to get it: here @ Amazon.com

                It’s a good thing this bar was snack-size, because it was gone before I even realized I was chewing. It’s like a cross between a cereal bar (think Nutrigrain with the apple goo in the middle) and a chewy granola bar…and it’s about 100x better than either of those. Oat-y, apple-y, cinnamon-y, and really just all together a great little snack. The ingredients aren’t scary, either – all normal, easily-recognizable-as-food ingredients. They’re also pretty much allergen-free, so they’re safe for all the kiddos at school…if you can bear to part with them.

Review - Rusterbar

Brand:  Rusterbar

Flavor:  Dried Cherry & Almond

Where to get it: here @ Rusterbar.com

                Most of us NEED the caffeine. We LOVE the caffeine. We don’t want to ever be caught without the caffeine. I too, am this way, so I was quite intrigued when I saw that this Rusterbar had as much caffeine (through guarana) as a cup of coffee. I didn’t taste much of the cherries in this bar, but the almonds play a big part in its construction. I feel like maybe some almond extract could have really made this bar sing, but without it I found this to be a pretty unremarkable way to take in almost 200 calories. This one is a skip for me.

Review: Plum Kids Jammy Sammy

Brand:  Plum Kids Jammy Sammy

Flavor:  Apple Cinnamon/Strawberry Jam & Peanut Butter

Where to get it: here @ Amazon.com

                Tiny little squares of fun! By now I think I’ve made it clear that I’m a tinyphile, and these Jammy Sammys fit that profile oh so perfectly. I really liked the Apple Cinnamon ones, the PB & J not as much. I felt the PB addition to the “breading” dried it out a bit. At only 110 calories, these are a great little snack for just about any time of the day or night.
