STRONG & KIND Protein Bars, Roasted Jalapeno Savory Snack Bars, 1.6 Ounce, 12 Count (Grocery)

   Vine Customer Review of Free Product (What's this?) I’m an energy bar junkie. I’m always trying new kinds. The Strong & Kind Honey Smoked BBQ flavor certainly counts as a new kind. It’s very unique. Your first bite into this bar might be startling. It was for me because the taste of BBQ in an energy bar is not something I’ve ever experienced before. The first bite may have been strange but subsequent were nothing but delicious. This thing taste great! It’s so nice to have a savory energy bar instead of the usual sweet flavors. The bar has a healthy natural ingredient list and it’s nutritionally sound. There’s nothing unusual or artificial in here. The calorie amount is just right and it contains a very nice 10 grams of protein. I will be getting this again.
