If you know me, you know that I eat one of these bars every day of the week. Whether for a quick breakfast, a mid-afternoon snack, or a pre-workout energy boost, I always have one of these super delicious and healthy-for-you granola bars in my bag.
Yes, the RX bars are definitely a trendy fad and yes, they're super basic and go along with the cycling-barre-workoutaholic-healthy-veganistic lifestyle, but I definitely find these bars to be more than that. They're flavorful yes, but they also make you feel full and well energized. From my own experience of trying out different flavors and tastes, I came up with a mini-list devoted to my favorites, and least favorites, and depending on your mood, what flavor should be best suited for you. Here goes!
1. Mixed berry
Being my staple go-to flavor, I enjoy eating these in the mid-afternoon, or for lunch. The smooth texture and berry flavors go well during the day when you're craving a sweet tooth or a heaping of fruit for the day. Definitely top of my
2. Chocolate sea salt
Definitely not everyone's favorite, but it sure is one of mine! I find myself eating these in halves, when I have a sugar craving and want some chocolate, or when I find myself at 9 pm getting a bit hungry while doing work. It substitutes really any other dessert and is definitely the healthier option. A bit too salty sometimes, depending on the bar, but the flavor is a good mix of dark chocolate and salt, and is chewy in effect. 10/10
3. Blueberry
Another one of my favorites, except this is strictly blueberry, mixed with a few nuts and dates here and there. Can't go wrong with this fruity-9am-pre-class breakfast bar.
4. Coconut chocolate
In my opinion, this one is too coconutty for my liking and personal taste. Definitely bothers my throat and is a bit harsher in flavor, but in small doses, it could be satisfying. For the pre-workout on-the-go mood.
5. Pumpkin spice
Yuck, seriously stay away from this one. I felt like, the one time I tried it, I was eating the inside rinds of an actual pumpkin. Too pungent in flavor, too gritty for my liking. Nope, not for me!
6. Peanut butter
LOVE. So good, so peanutty and buttery and yummy. I sometimes eat this alongside an apple or other fruit and use the bar as a substitute for creamy peanut butter that I usually would get carried away with. Another really great flavor giving you just what you would expect.
Yay for snacking!!! Yay for no BS!!!!
