BumbleBar Chai with Almonds Organic Energy Bar

BumbleBar Energy BarBumbleBars are simply delicious! These organic, dairy and gluten free bars are made primarily with sesame seeds, so expect this bar to taste different from soy and date bars. In this case, different means yummy and good yummy. The Chai with Almonds bar is crunchy and sweet, but not too sweet, and there is a mild chai aroma - not really a chai taste though.

One 45 gram of Chai BumbleBar has 210 calories, 12 grams of total fat (19% of the recommended daily amount), 1.5 grams of saturated fat (8%), 2% of the RDA for sodium, 7 grams of protein and 21 grams total carbohydrates which includes 11 grams of sugars and 17% of the RDA for fiber (4 grams) plus 10% of quite a few vitamins and minerals.

There is more fat in this than I would like, but this bar is organic and all natural, so it can't be helped, and flax seeds have the beneficial omega 3 fatty acids. One bar is about $1.50 when I purchased it at Whole Foods, and I will be going back to try the other BumbleBar flavors such as Chunk Cherry, Lushus Lemon, Chocolate Crisp and more, which are also available at their website.

Having consumed many MANY bars, I have to admit that this is one of my favorites. Plus, I rank the natural bars much better in taste and nutrition than ones with artificial flavorings, preservatives and ingredients.

if I ever run across these in Whole Foods (so far, I haven't seen them!) I will definitely give them a try - they sound really good.

They have 'em at Hy Vee, too!

That looks SO good!

I love the BumbleBars. I usually get the lemon one, but Chai is second.
