Odwalla: Berries GoMega

Berries GoMega has a base of ground golden flax and oats bound together with brown rice syrup and date and fig purees. A single bar delivers 1000 mg of Omega-3 fatty acids courtesy of the flax seed. The texture is enjoyable, if not a little grainy.  At 210 calories, it is a satisfying serving, though the fact that it has 50 fat calories might scare off some people. Those folks would do well to remember that Omega-3 fatty acids are vital to the diet and good health. So this is an indulgence that makes sense. On a less positive note, the bar could certainly do a better job delivering on the “Berries” part of its title . There is a subtle hint of blueberry and strawberry in the flavor, but like so many nutritional bars, it really tastes more like date and fig. Overall, very enjoyable and a great way to get a good dose of the ever-elusive Omega-3s.
