(NaturalNews) The market for food bars is seemingly endless. Countless companies now produce bars which they claim are the best, most wholesome bars available. But which ones are truly everything they say they are?
This year, several companies have unveiled new lines of food bars that are worthy of mention. These bars are free of genetically-modified ingredients (GMOs), artificial sweeteners and processed fillers, and are either completely or mostly organic. None of them contain any refined sugars or
artificial sweeteners.
The companies that produce these bars have demonstrated a genuine commitment to honesty in both the way they conduct business and the methods by which they produce their
products. This means sourcing
ingredients of the highest quality and nutritional content and maintaining operations that are environmentally-friendly.
This is by no means an exhaustive list, but it does represent some of the most impressive new whole
food bars available. They were evaluated primarily based on
taste, nutritional content and ingredient quality.
It is also important to note that the
companies represented here did not pay for these endorsements. These products truly are some of the best in their class and we simply want to share this valuable
information with our readers.
Greens Plus 22 Days Energy BarsTo complement its already stellar lineup of
energy and food bars, the makers of Greens Plus are introducing a new line of certified
organic, vegan energy bars called "22 Days". Hatched from the notion that it takes 21 days to break a habit (and thus 22 to start a new one), these delicious bars are made with raw, organic
superfoods. They are gluten-, dairy- and soy-free and come in four flavors: Cherry Chocolate Bliss, Enlightened Pumpkinseed, Goji Mate Firecracker and Daily Mocha Mantra.
The bars contain between six and eleven grams of
hemp and rice protein each depending on the type. They are lightly sweetened with things like organic raw agave syrup and organic tropical blossom honey. Organic evaporated cane juice is also used in the flavors containing
chocolate. The bars are also rich in various raw, organic superfoods like
goji berries, almonds, hemp seeds,
pumpkin seeds, cashews and dates.
Overall, these bars taste amazing. They are not too sweet and each variety is rich in flavor. In other words, you can actually taste the luscious ingredients and not be overpowered with too much of one ingredient, too much sweet or too much salt. Also, 22 Days bars are made using sunflower lecithin, an excellent alternative to
soy lecithin.
