Two things I notice right away: there is more chicory in this bar than anything else, and no actual strawberries. Still, the old "fiber one" magic is present; this bar tastes great and has a nice granola bar texture, and a whole lotta fiber. The bar is extremely chewy, and I get all the flavors: a little fruit, a little almond, a little chocolate from the drizzle on top. I honestly don't know how they do that. Also note that this bar, despite having some scary ingredients, is a lot better for me than yesterday's peanut bar; fewer calories, less fat, and with lots of fiber which satisfies hunger. I call it win-win, though I still have a couple of boxes of those peanut bars. Oh well.
