The Gluten Free Bar Review

For my review, I was sent four samples of The Gluten Free Bar (GFB).  I was sent one of each flavor including peanut butter, peanut butter chocolate, oatmeal raisin, and cranberry toasted almond.  This company was created in 2010 in attempts to create a gluten free nutritional bar. Each of these are about 220-240 calories. 

The first bar that I tried was the oatmeal raisin one.  There were some characteristics of the bar that I liked, and some that I did not like. I also tried the cranberry toasted almond and enjoyed that flavor.

Pros
-12 grams of protein per bar
-Good flavor- liked the whole raisins in it
-Filling
-Good for people who are gluten free
-2-3.5 grams fiber
-Vegan/dairy free (for those who need it)

Cons
-18 grams of sugar per bar
-220-240 calories- I prefer my bars to be about 160 or less
-Was not a huge fan of the texture- weird mouthfeel

Overall, I would give this bar a 3 out of 5 stars. For someone who needs a gluten free bar, this may be a good option that is full of protein!

  1. I'm always on the lookout for anything GF, so I may have to give this a try in the future. We'll see what I think of it though (I'm weird when it comes to food textures).
