Review: KIND Nuts & Spices Dark Chocolate Mocha Almond Bar

Today's review subject presented me with quite a dilemma.  First of all, I'm not the biggest fan of dark chocolate.  That doesn't mean that I hate it, but out of all the types of chocolate, dark chocolate is my least favorite.  Secondly, my feelings about mocha are mixed.  I very much like coffee and drink it most mornings, but coffee-flavored food products are not high on my list of desirable things.  That said, I was willing to give another KIND product a shot, despite my reservations, when I picked up this KIND Nuts & Spices Dark Chocolate Mocha Almond Bar at Kroger for $1.25.  It's 1.4 ounces and has 200 calories and six grams of protein.  As with most, if not all, KIND products, it's all natural, gluten free, etc.

Review: KIND Nuts & Spices Madagascar Vanilla Almond Bar

Based on the number of yogurt reviews around here lately (there are more in queue), one could think that the only thing that I do these days is eat yogurt and it sure seems that way to me.  Fortunately, I do manage to mix something else in every once in a while and today is one of those times as I'm packing in another KIND review.  Now, ordinarily I tend to stay away from products that are boring and vanilla (get the joke?), but the presence of a "special" kind of vanilla got me to grab this KIND Nuts & Spices Madagascar Vanilla Almond Bar off the shelf at Kroger for the sale price of $1.00.  The bar itself is 1.4 ounces and has 210 calories and seven grams of protein.  Like most KIND bars, it's also gluten free and all natural.

Review: KIND Nuts & Spices Dark Chocolate Cinnamon Pecan Bar

If you are a regular reader of the blog, you've noticed that the KIND reviews have picked up recently.  I'll be the first to say that is the result of my local Kroger changing up their flavor variety and finally giving me more opportunities for reviews.  Good for me and good for the blog since KIND bars generally have a solid reputation here.  With that prize-winning introduction done, it's time to segue into this review of the KIND Nuts & Spices Dark Chocolate Cinnamon Pecan Bar that I was able to pick up at the aforementioned Kroger for $1.49.  Each bar is 1.4 ounces and has 200 calories and five grams of protein.  It's also all natural and gluten free, among other things, so it's got that going for it too.

Review: KIND Nuts & Spices Maple Glazed Pecan & Sea Salt Bar

There is no better feeling as a blog writer to know that the companies that you are writing reviews about have noticed you.  Granted, sometimes those reviews are extremely negative and it's probably not good for that company to notice you, but other times, it can be kind of fun.  Whether the interaction comes via Twitter, Facebook or directly by e-mail, it's always an affirmation that at least someone is reading.  From time to time, as I've mentioned before, companies are gracious enough to forward on samples of their products for me to try out for the blog that is the case with this KIND Nuts & Spices Maple Glazed Pecan & Sea Salt Bar that will add to my collection of previous reviews.  The bar itself is 1.4 ounces with 210 calories and six grams of protein.

Review: KIND Nuts & Spice Dark Chocolate Nuts & Sea Salt Bar

For such a well known manufacturer, I find it odd that I've only done sporadic reviews of KIND products on the blog, especially in the beginning.  I've tried to pick it up and review more products as time as gone on, but KIND is still not represented all that well on the blog and I really can't figure out why it has turned out that way.  So, in order to give them some better representation (and also because I got a freebie as an add-on to an Amazon.com purchase that I made), I'm led to this review of the KIND Nuts & Spice Dark Chocolate Nuts & Sea Salt Bar.  This one comes in at 1.4 ounces and is angled more toward the protein aspect of KIND bars as it has a higher amount of protein that the typical bar in that it has six grams and also 200 calories.
