Review: Gnu Foods Fiber Love Apple Cobbler Soft-Baked Fiber Bar

I don't know why it bothers me, but I have to admit that I sometimes shop at Earth Fare and I hate myself for it.  I guess it might bother me because I've never wanted that connotation as a natural foods/health nut that shops at those kinds of stores.  There's nothing wrong with shopping there at all, but I've just got this bug in my head about it.  I guess it's remnants from being picked on too much in elementary school for doing ANYTHING that was different from the norm.  I'm 35 years old...maybe I should get over that.  LOL.  Anyway, I picked up a new product (to this blog) at Earth Fare with this Gnu Foods Fiber Love Apple Cobbler Soft-Baked Fiber Bar that I was able to grab for $1.33.  Each bar is 1.6 ounces and has 140 calories and three grams of protein.  It's also got 48% of your daily fiber, so HOLY COW.

Review: Health Valley Organic Strawberry Cobbler Multigrain Cereal Bars

Prior to this review, I thought about taking one of my other Healthy Valley reviews, copying it and pasting it into this review after updating all the names and colors.  Basically, I was only expecting a slightly different experience going in when I took a look at these Health Valley Organic Strawberry Cobbler Multigrain Cereal Bars that I picked up on sale at Kroger for $2.00, just like the others.  Each of these bars comes in at 1.3 ounces and has 130 calories with two grams of protein.

Review: Health Valley Organic Blueberry Cobbler Multigrain Cereal Bars

Are you familiar with the expression "tiptoeing through the tulips"?  Well, I'm remind of that as I once again decide to tiptoe through the Health Valley with my second review of one of their bottom shelf products.  This time I bent down to pick up this box of six Health Valley Organic Blueberry Cobbler Multigrain Cereal Bars at Kroger for $2.00.  Each bar is 1.3 ounces and has 130 calories and two grams of protein.  It's organic and multigrain, so I guess that is what Health Valley is using as a selling point to differentiate this from the typical cereal bar.

Review: Health Valley Organic Apple Cobbler Multigrain Cereal Bars

I'm no giant, but being that I'm six feet tall, there's a bit of distance between me and the bottom shelf at the grocery store. Add to that the fact that most stores try to put the most purchased products at eye level for the average American and well, lets just say I don't get down to the bottom much. On a recent trip to Kroger, I must have been feeling a little frisky because I meandered through the health foods section, I came across this box of Health Valley Organic Apple Cobbler Multigrain Cereal Bars, which I had never seen before. There were three different flavors available, so I grabbed all three and you'll see those reviews in the future. Anyway, back to the task at hand...a box of six of these bars was on sale for $2.00 and each bar comes in at 1.3 ounces and has 130 calories and two grams of protein.

Review: Kellogg's Nutri-Grain Fruit Crunch Granola Bars Apple Cobbler

I already took a first look at one of Kellogg's new product offerings in their Nutri-Grain Fruit Crunch line when I looked at the Strawberry Parfait variety.  Expanding upon that review, it's now time to take a look at another flavor from that same product line with this box of Kellogg's Nutri-Grain Fruit Crunch Granola Bars Apple Cobbler.  I picked up a box of ten bars (five two-bar packages) of these along with the others at Marsh on sale for $2.99.  Each two-bar package is 1.48 ounces, has 190 calories with a small three grams of protein.  These bars are made with real fruit, so that's exciting I guess.

Review: Kashi Apple Cobbler Soft n' Chewy Bar

As if having a previously reviewed soft-baked square wasn't enough, Kashi has decided to go the extra step and release another line of similar bars with the added bonus that these bars are not only soft, but they are also chewy.  Lucky us!  I had a coupon for one of these new bars, so I picked up a box of five Kashi Apple Cobbler Soft n' Chewy Bars on sale at Marsh for $2.99 (that was the sale price; my coupon deducted more).  Each bar in the box is 1.4 ounces and has 130 calories with three grams of protein.  It's all natural and is made with real fruits and veggies.  Veggies?!  Ummm...based on the name of this, the fact that it advertises the presence of veggies is sort of frightening to me.

Review: Blue Bell Southern Peach Cobbler Ice Cream

You know what irritates me?  When manufacturers, especially ice cream manufacturers, don't put product descriptions on the outside of their containers to describe what is inside the container.  Obviously in some flavor instances it's not necessary (vanilla, chocolate, etc.) but when you come up with something like this Blue Bell Southern Peach Cobbler Ice Cream, you'd expect some sort of description (turns out that it is on the half gallon size, just not the pint size).  I obviously know what peach cobbler is, but what I'd like to know is what Blue Bell's interpretation of peach cobbler is so that I know what I'm diving into before I actually taste it.  So, when I was flying blind heading into this review with not knowing that general info, I was kind of perturbed but since it is my beloved ice cream, I was able to get over it quickly with yet another Blue Bell review.  By the way, I picked up this pint on sale at Meijer for $1.67 and it's sixteen ounces (DUH!) and contains four half cup servings with each serving coming in at 160 calories.

Review: Larabar Uber Cherry Cobbler Fruit & Nut Bar

In my many Larabar reviews, I've admittedly been tough on them on occasion.  For a lot of those reviews, I just didn't understand how a product with seemingly no discernible flavor (or at least the flavor it said it was going to be) could make it to market and sell successfully.  So, when I spotted a new product line of theirs with these "Uber" bars, I was a bit skeptical of them.  Curiosity sometimes gets the best of me though, so I picked up this Larabar Uber Cherry Cobbler Fruit & Nut Bar on sale at Kroger for $0.99.  It's 1.42 ounces and has 190 calories and four grams of protein.  Also, in case you were wondering, "Uber" is referred to on the wrapper as having synonyms of "super duper, wicked awesome."  Another amusing thing was that the picture of the front of the wrapper carried the tagline of "Enlarged to show ubnerness."  Seriously?!  For me being skeptical going into this, seeing a bar proclaim itself as that just made me want to hate this bar before I even dug in.
