Vega Whole Food Vibrancy Bars

I will soon be on a mission to healthier living. As such, when I spotted these Vega Whole Food Vibrancy Bars at the store for the first time, I snapped them up. Well, two of them anyway. I grabbed both the Green Synergy and the Wholesome Original. I did not want the Chocolate Decadence as I tend to dislike chocolate flavored energy bars.

First, let me say, neither tasted bad, and that's the first step in good health bars, I think. There wasn't much difference in flavor, though I think the green might have been slightly sweeter, and slightly, er, 'greener'. The bars are kind of like compressed, mushed, slightly bland fruit with little crunchies in it. I liked the little crunchies. Aside from the crunchies bit, I know that doesn't sound like a rave review, but believe me, I am all about the healthy, portable snacks and these are tasty enough for me to eat on a regular basis. Especially considering how loaded with healthy these are!

These bars are easy to throw in a purse, gym bag, or carry-on for nutrition on the go and in a pinch. Up til now, I have really only used Clif bars for that. And while I can eat those over and over, it's so much better to have some variety. And these Vega bars have some interesting differences from the Clif bars.

Here's some more about the Vega bars.
