I guess the most important thing to start with is – my kids LOVE Z-Bars. They were introduced to these early and as far as they know, this is what granola/snack bars are. They find other, more sugar-laden, bars a little too much. I was pleasantly surprised to find this and am more than happy to ply them with this healthier alternative.
These are a great tasty snack and pretty portable. They only suffer in the hot weather when they get a melty. Otherwise, they hold the kids over from 10AM to lunch on most days. Also, the 140 calories makes them a nice snack for adults too when you’re not up for a 200+ calorie bar.
I guess it’s important to note the price as well. The value is great (especially if you subscribe) for a this amount of bars.
But, I repeat, the kids LOVE them – 5-stars!
