This week I received 4 The Simply Bars in the mail as part of The Simply Bar Challenge. I was sent 4 of their best-selling flavours; Caramel Peanut, Cinnamon Pecan, Lemon Coconut, and Peanut Butter Chocolate. (They have other flavours too: Cocoa Raspberry & Cocoa Coffee).
They all looked so good! |
Most of their bars only have 9 or 10 ingredients, and according to their webpage, "Each bar has 16g protein, more fiber than sugar, and 160 calories or less, with at least 4 grams of Fiber."
A bar that has more fibre than sugar? That is awesome! And the bonus is they taste good! They are not overly sweet and don't sit heavily in your stomach, so I found they are great after a workout.
I also found that they kept me feeling fuller longer than other protein bars I have tried.
The bars are also dairy & gluten free, certified non GMO, vegan, kosher, a good source of iron, low glycemic and easy to digest.
Plus, they are a Canadian company, and I love to see Canadian companies making great products!
I chose the Lemon Coconut to try first |
I am usually a big chocolate fan, but I must admit that my favourite one is the Lemon Coconut, with the Peanut Butter Chocolate being a close second, but all the flavours were good. I know I will be buying some The Simply Bars for mid-day/post-workout snacks. :)
So yummy! The Lemon Coconut is my fave. |

I was not paid for this review, I was only given the bars as part of their Simply Bar Challenge.
