One of the things that I love about visiting the National Women’s Show is learning about new products (and of course freebies 
). One of these freebies that I got a couple weeks ago was a 15-pack of Sun-Rype Fruit Source Bars. There was a choice of strawberry or wildberry “plus veggie” flavours, so I opted to try the one with the veggies. I didn’t recall tasting these particular bars before (I usually buy the smaller Fruit-To-Go snack bars), but I’m glad that I did, because they are super-tasty!
Made with 100% fruit and vegetables, these bars contain fibre, potassium, Vitamin A and 3 servings of fruit and veggies in each one. I could hardly taste the carrots that are part of the ingredients, so the bar has a nice, naturally sweet taste. No artificial colours either, and it’s only 130 calories with no fat–perfect for that mid-morning snack. Chewy (but not sticky), these Fruit Source bars should be a staple in your kitchen when you want a healthy snack alternative

These are really great. Though, I don’t quite get why they have 26g of sugar–about the same as a can of pop.
The reason for the high sugar content is because 26g is the natural sugar occurrence in fruits and vegetables. Ever wonder why strawberries are so sweet – guess you know now why.
And the sugar from fruit is not the same as the processed sugar you find in a soft drink.
haha hilarious that it says “naturally” occuring sugars made of 100% of fruit and veggies yet right away on the bar under ingredients you see apple powder. whats natually occuring about that?
OHHH AHA WOW Tienna I CANT BELIVE THEY DID THAT AHAHa WOWWW good call! YOUR HILARIOUS!!!
That wasn’t THAT funny. If you heat a steak, would you not consider it natural still? This is just the way the apple was prepared to go into the fruit bar – dried and apparently dusted. The same way a rock and sand are still the same thing, even though sand is broken down; apples and dusted apples may very well be the same thing. Even if it’s not, it’s still not that funny. It’s the last ingredient on the list and, therefore, the least apparent.
