Odwalla Berries GoMega snack bar review

The same peeps who make the all-natural juice has come out with new snack bars, on sale at Vons and Wholefoods that prompted me to try it.

Hit with an afternoon hunger pang, I opened up a Berries GoMega. At 210 calories, it’s a hefty bar. First bite kinda tasted good; tangy, chewy…and then it was downhill. Very dense and chewy, from the flax seeds combined with the seedy, “pop-ness” of figs, I had to sit it aside to think, am I so hungry to take another bite?

It makes u feel like you’re eating a good, ground up mush from the grounds, sorta like coffee grounds meet dates, berries and figs. Almost like you’d know what it feels like to be a deer or a zoo animal and what they eat.

Wonder if they taste tested this stuff. I’m sure it’s all a matter of preference but it was pretty disappointing nonetheless. Stay away from Odwalla bars unless you like that gritty feeling, I pictured my face like a camel, chewing away…

Anyone have snack bars they recommend? Ones that are tasty AND good for you?
