Ordinarily, I am not a bar or cookie person. Especially not prepackaged. However there are times when you need a quick snack to hold you over. We can't always prepare things from scratch, so when that happens, we turn to things that are filling, tasty, healthy and easy to tote around like these Macrobars and Macro Treats! I got these a while back and we have worked our way through them. I was intrigued by the variety of flavors and that some of them were gluten free too! All of their products are vegan and some are high in protein for meal replacement options! I don't like the usual bars at the store that are small, loaded with preservatives, high fructose corn syrup and all around junky. Macrobars and Macro Treats are made daily with no preservatives or additives so I was happy to serve them to my family! They are grain sweetened and the fats are all from seeds and nuts! You can actually taste everything they say is in them! These are a couple of MacroBars that I actually got shots of since we ate these at home for a "pick me up". Otherwise, they were eaten on the go. They aren't kidding about the ingredients they use! I was so happy to see the nuts or seeds they said were in them actually be in them! The texture of the bars were chewy with crunch from the seeds or nuts. The cookies were the same as far as being able to identify the flavor and textures. They were a little on the drier side of cookies. The cookies were good, just not chewy like the bars. Both the bars and the cookies were substantial in size so they could be used as a snack or a mini meal to get you through! I love the philosophy of GoMacro. They are about sustainability and healthful living. This is definitely in line with my thinking on food! For me, it is important to offer my family healthy on the go treats and GoMacro definitely delivers this in a tasty package! If you are someone that needs on the go foods and your focus on food is environment and health, you should definitely check them out. You can order them from here on their website.
