Olympic Granola Trail Bar: Chocolate Peanut

Olympic Granola’s Chocolate Peanut Trail Bar is a wholesome looking and tasting bar that’s loaded with flavor. The soft wheat and dairy free bar has lots of seeds (sunflower and flax), a slight crunch of nuts (peanuts), some chew from oats, and a middle layer of indulgent chocolate chips. There’s also a touch of salt to the finish, which gives the bar some balance by cutting the sweetness just a bit. All in all, this bar tastes very much like something that you’d make at home – and we meant that in a good way. Nutritionally, this bar has 380 calories, 7g of fat, 10g of protein, and 6g grams of fiber. However, they’ve listed this bar at 2 servings per bar, which we think is deceiving and certainly against their “honest ingredients” tag as this is a single serve product. There should be no shame in having a product that’s high in fat and calories due to its nut and seed content – that’s what you get from minimally processed ingredients. The label is clean and appealing, with a look that fits with the bar perfectly. Plus, they’ve left a little area visible for seeing through the wrapper, which helps whet the appetite by letting you see the wholesome looking bar. Overall, a very well done product.
