I’ve found a new favorite simple organic bar: Chocolada Walnut Pure Fruit & Nut Bar from Weil by Nature’s Path Organic.
This bar’s all choco-coconutty goodness. Like the simple organic bars I’ve written about before, Chocolada Walnut — and all of the 5 bars from Weil by Nature’s Path Organic — are made with just a handful of organic, reasy-to-recognize ingredients. For Chocolada Walnut, those are dates, almonds, dried unsweetened coconut, walnuts, cocoa, and vanilla extract.
The other 4 flavors are pretty good too, though Chocolada Walnut’s far and away my favorite — and interestingly, the one with the least sugar (17 grams per bar). None of the bars have added sugar; some just have a lot of sweet dried fruit, like the Chia Razz (28 grams of sugar perbar) which I found too sweet. If you eat raisins and dried dates by the handful, you’ll love that bar though — like Laura at iateapie does. The rest, Banana Manna, Pistachi-Oh, and Goji Moji, are somewhere in between.
All the bars are also vegan. Nature’s Path also makes some of my favorite cereals — and the family-owned, eco-conscious company’s coming out with new cereal products too, which I’ll be trying out in the coming weeks –

I love the Pistachi-Oh variety — the spices really enhance the flavor and make the bar for me. Sadly the local store where I bought them recently stopped carrying them.
I’m a huge fruit fan, but I also found the Chia Razz to be a little too sweet. I do like that this bar introduced me to chia seeds though! Now I regularly munch on plain chia seeds as a snack.

Interesting, b/c Pistachi-Oh wasn’t really for me :P Didn’t hate it, but the spices were puzzling to me vs. pleasant. To each her own bar! :)
Have you tried the Chocolada?
