I was sent the three new flavors to try out and I honestly could not wait! I want to note before getting started that these are for adult consumption only and should not be shared with children. Please keep this in mind so you do not get it to share as snacks with your children. With that said, these are actually pretty darn good!  Each is unique in its own way to its own flavor. Out of the three, though, my personal favorite was the salted caramel latte. I love the salty and sweet combination. The other two had more of a “healthy breakfast bar” sort of taste. Not necessarily bad, but not a flavor I found that made me go “OMG this is awesome” – if you get what I’m saying. For me, the salted caramel latte gave that “Are you sure this is healthy” factor and that’s what I look for to keep me coming back for more.

Before now, I hadn’t tried the ZonePerfect brand and I am glad I did. While not all the flavors were for me, when I found the one that was, I fell in love! I was surprised at how filling the bars are as well. The bars appear small in size, a slight bit larger than a cereal bar, however, I found I felt full after eating one. Also, because of the texture, these didn’t crumble apart in my hands as I ate them; which makes them perfect for on the go.

Overall, I was pretty impressed with these nutritional snack bars and honestly could recommend them to anyone looking for a healthier snack alternative!
