Food Review: Sun-Rype Fruit Source Bars
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.
