These were a staple for my gluten-free teenager until a few months ago when she started complaining that they tasted different, not in a good way. We found out that the company has moved to a new factory/producer and that the formula has changed in some ways. The flavor is not as fresh and tastes more like processed food. We are really disappointed and are hoping that the company can somehow find its way back to making really great bars.

I was looking forward to receiving this order. Almonds, macadamias, and walnuts! Sounded delicious.
Then I tried one, and was puzzled. Yes, I could taste some almond, but WOW, the main flavor was PEANUTS. The ingredients list peanuts as the largest amount of nuts. This should be called the Peanut, Almond Bar. If one likes to have the main flavor of a nut bar as peanuts, you will enjoy this.
The quality of KIND products I appreciate, as well as the low GI, the natural properties, and having a healthier choice. But honesty in advertising and product would be appreciated.

I was disappointed with the deception, and the unexpectedly strong flavor of peanuts, as I purchased it for the nuts I like best, which were supposed to be the main source of nut protein.
Let's get honest KIND!

This bar has cranberries, almonds, and macadamia nuts (NOT bits and pieces!) as their main ingredients, in a soft honey-like glaze to keep it all together. I refrigerate them in the summer or they kind of "wilt". The ingredients are fresh, and the nuts are crunchy. What I really appreciate about these bars is that it really takes time to eat and enjoy them. Those nuts are meant to be chewed and not inhaled, unlike a lot of snacks that disappear as soon as you get the wrapper off. I can't eat one in front of my favorite dog, as this is one snack I am too fond of to share with her... much to her dismay. I think they are worth the cost, and I know they cost way more if you find them in a local grocery store.

I like protein bars conceptually - something to grab as you rush out - I go to a lot of 6 pm meetings, and plan to eat dinner when they end, but by then I'm ravenous, and I need something to hold me through them. So I've tried a lot of bars and frankly they range around mediocre, pretending to be something (chocolate!)that they are clearly not.

So what are these bars like? Great! Really delicious - full of nuts you can see and taste, not too sweet, as often these bars are, and it has protein! A happy find, we bought a box and will buy more, I can see it becoming a staple in our cupboards.

May 2010 - on to my third order, so this is a really great snack in our house. The protein really does help fill you up, it's a perfect snack, and all of us think it's delicious (though my son does prefer the macadamia passionfruit, this one has protein and that makes it a much better bar for me and my husband and our low sugar tendencies)

These bars are delicious. Not heavy on the stomach with just enough sweetness to satisfy.

These are our favorite bars - not too sweet and all natural. We order them by the bulk every time. The cranberries give them a bit of a tangy flavor which makes them just right. The almonds taste fresh and crunchy. Highly recommend them.

These bars are the best health bars I've ever eaten. They are are moist and sweet. My previous favorite was the KIND Almond and Apricot and I didn't think they could be outdone, but I was wrong. The Mango Macadamia are now the slight forerunner. I find myself craving these bars all of the time. The KIND company has outdone itself; bars that are yummy and good for you. What could be better?

The cashew and almond bar is very tasty. I eat these whenever I am hungry and want a healthy snack. I noticed that when I eat these before working out, they give me energy too.
I love these bars! They are nice and chewy and crunchy with the nuts in it. Very tasty combination and I highly recommend.

I am new to the "Kind" family of products and ordered these bars after talking with a friend. WOW! These are amazing! They serve as a total meal replacement when I'm on the go, but still taste good enough to be considered a snack. I have now also tried the cranberry/almond (which are tasty, but sticky enough that I have learned not to eat them in the car)and the Vanilla Blueberry Granola and Cinnamon Oat Cereal as well. These are GREAT products and I recommend them highly. I've never written a review for anything before, but "Kind" words needed to be said!!!

KIND PLUS Pomegranate Blueberry Pistachio bars are very delicious. I enjoy one bar and a glass of orange/carrot juice every morning. Dr Oz recommends that you eat protein within the first hour after waking; you will get protein from this bar. I really love the fresh taste and texture. 2012 UPDATE: I usually get bored with food, but not these bars! I still have my juice and this Pom/Blue/Pistach bar every single morning for breakfast. I don't kind-a-like KIND, I totally love it!!!
