Odwalla Bar in Super Protein











I found this bar on a display at Fred Meyer. I want to say it was under $2 for one. It has 16 grams of protein but it also has 31 grams of carbohydrates!. As if that wasn't enough to put most of you off from it, it also has 16 grams of sugar..people are scoffing at this bar now, I can feel it. poor Mr. Odwalla Bar, even your taste won't save you as the photos show, Lilith walked around holding a portion of it and when she did eventually try a bite of it, she promptly spit it out. It has an interesting texture, I actually liked that part of it, kind of sticky and grainy at the same time. You can really taste the date puree, in fact that is about all you can taste. It has lots of vitamins (50% of Vitamin A, 25% of Thiamin, Calcium, Vitamin B12, Biotin, Pantothenic Acid, Niacin, Vitamin B6, and Folate)but unfortunately it just doesn't have enough protein to make it worth buying again. I am sure that 230 calories are justified when you consider the amount of vitamins and fiber (4grams)this bar contains verses so many others out there but even that can't save this bar from the whopping 31 grams of carbohydrates and it's lack luster taste.
