Score Surprise (and Giveaway): KIND Bars

Author: Tina | Posted: 02-09-2011 | Category: Score Surprises, Uncategorized

I’ve written about snack bars a lot on Trading Up Downtown:

I love these kinds of bars– they’re great as a snack or dessert– but they’re also a hot topic in the NuVal world because their scores range from 2-57 (with a median score is a 19). Snack bars canbe healthy, but not always, so it’s helpful to pay attention to their NuVal score to figure out the most nutritious option.

Snack and granola bar scores vary with the content of sugar, fiber, and sodium. They also vary by the type of fat they contain; products with mono- and polyunsaturated fats tend to score higher, while those with saturated and trans fats receive lower NuVal Scores. Finding nutritious choices in this category can be more difficult, given the complexity of flavors and added ingredients commonly found. Using NuVal scores can reassure consumers that they will have the information to make an educated buying decision when it comes to nutrition [source]

With that said, have you heard of KIND bars? Well, if you’re looking for a trade up in the snack bars category, check them out!

kind-bar-big

KIND bars are a brand of all-natural whole nut and fruit bars. One of the highest scoring snack bars is KIND Nut Delight Fruit + Nut Bar with a NuVal Score of 66. Another high scoring option is KIND Almond & Cashew Plus Omega-3 Fruit Bar with a 51. Oh, and the best part: they’re DELICIOUS! For real. I love them.

Trading Up Downtown Giveaway

KIND bars are one of my favorite snack bars on the market, but I don’t buy them very often because they’re pretty expensive. I’ve seen them cost close to $4 per bar! Occassionally, I buy them as a treat, but I can’t spend that type of money all of the time.

With that said, I am offering you guys a chance to win a half dozen KIND bars!

Even though bars are not my favorite choice at all, I do have to keep them around in case of emergencies. I generally stick a few in my tennis bag for long matches when a little more fuel is required. I like the Powerbars and Clif bars, as they don’t usually melt. I’ve heard great things about the Kind bars…would love to give them a try.

For a snack, I gotta say that I love the KIND bars! If I’m looking for some post-workout protein, I’ll usually grab a PowerCrunch protein bar from GNC. They’re yummy and pack a lot of protein in.

My favorite are Larabars because the ingredient list is short and they are delicious. I prefer the minis when I can get my hands on them (mostly at expos!) because I don’t need the full 200 calorie bar. I also love that the sugar comes from dates, not added sugar or HFCS. I also like KIND bars, but you’re right – they are expensive – so I don’t buy them often. My other go-to is Kashi TLC granola bars.

I also agree, I have never tried a Kind bar, but do see them everywhere I shop. I live on a strick budget, and tend to try to only purchase bars when i am out and about and dying for food! I tend to lean more towards Larabars, since they are a little cheaper and many have nuts! I find they do fill you up and are full of healthy fiber and protein which are very important to me. My body does not need a filler, it needs nutrition. I would love the chance to try a Kind bar since they stare up at me at Starbucks and in the line at the Bulk Barn!
