I’m not a big granola/snack bar person. And now that I’m gluten-free I am even less interested in this group of food.  However, I’ve found one I really love.

You’ll never believe where I heard about Kind bars. I was flipping around the TV and cruised by QVC where I like to check out the kitchen things they are selling. They were selling Kind bars. When I heard that they were gluten free, my ears perked up. I checked my grocery store’s web site and found out they sell them. So, the next time I was there, I checked them out. They are mostly nut-based. Some have dried fruits in them (like apricots, blueberries, or pomegranate) with the nuts.  Some have dark chocolate, coconut or other ingredients with the nuts. The ingredients are all non-GMO.  The bars all contain protein and some contain brown rice. They look like a granola bar, but they are much thinner, so it isn’t as heavy a snack as it looks like. I’m kind of hooked on these. I’m eating them instead of grabbing a handful of nuts – which is much easier as an on-the-go kind of snack. I used to find protein bars to be too heavy and kind of yucky in my stomach. but these don’t make me feel gross and overly full.

Every time I go to the store, the selection seems to get bigger. Last week I brought home 12 different types to try.  Each bar is $1.49. You order boxes of them online – my store doesn’t seem to sell them in boxes.
