Kind bars preferences.

qualitygal — Fri, 14 Mar 2014 12:41:52 GMT

Just want to know by what you add in here, what seems to be the favorite flavors, healthiest, etc. Think I'm going to shop for some this week. Been trying raw cashews, and I used to really like these bars and they stay with me a long time. Been trying another bar, but the 9 grams of fiber, just about double me over with pain, so I'm leaving them alone. I gave them a second try and got the same results, so no thank you. Back to Kind bars.

Let me know your favorites. Please.

The Kind bars taste great but I only buy the ones lower in sugar. They have a few that have 4 or 5 gms of sugar and they taste just as great as the ones with higher sugar. Fiber One Bars are pretty good again low sugar for me.

I agree with butterfly. The only flavor of low sugar I have been able to find in my area is the Dark Chocolate Salted Caramel. It is delicious...but I would love to try a new flavor!!! Comparing the labels to other bars is really an eye opener. I don't know if people realize how much sugar is in them!!!!

qualitygal I just wanted to tell you that I tried the low sugar Madagascar Vanilla Kind bar yesterday. I found it sold in a single bar not a box...and I was glad because I did not like it! I like chocolate so the vanilla/nut flavor was not enough for me! Still love the low sugar Dark Chocolate Salted Caramel bar.

I love the dark chocolate salted caramel too and I always feel like it's a candy bar! My favorite though is the Blueberry Pecan. I know it's got a lot of carbs, probably due to the honey. It's also messy to eat because it's so sticky. I got started on Kind bars because of TSV on Q but I now get AD with free shipping directly from the company. Comes to $1.39/bar (plus tax if that applies.)

Tiamaria, ITA! I love vanilla and couldn't stand the Madagascar Vanilla bar. It doesn't have much taste, IMHO.

I do the ones with 4g of sugar or less. I use them for travel, so it's not a "snack" for me.

Thank you gals I really appreciate it!!

Oops. I followed an earlier poster's flavor name and just realized that I've never tried that flavor The one I've tried and like as a ""candy bar alternative"" is the Dark Chocolate Nuts and Sea Salt. I don't think it has any ""caramel"" in it. But I would be all over it if it did. I love caramel!!

I love them ALL, seriously. I guess I'd have to choose the ones with dark chocolate. I'm waiting until they offer the box of 28 before I buy again.

I don't eat any bars of any form, but I have friends who eat Kind Bars. If I'm hungry, I'll eat a package of Trader Joe's rosemary herbed turkey breast! That protein will fill me up and it's no carbs or sugars! I had some today!

We're both liking the Kind cashew and ginger spice. Love the ginger! 4 grams of sugar.

I absolutely LOVE the Dark Chocolate Cherry Cashew!! My husband prefers the Dark Chocolate Nuts and Sea Salt.

I really like them, especially the Almond & Apricot flavor. However, if you're interested in keeping tabs on your sugar intake, these DO have sugar, and you might want to try a different brand of bar. I think they are a great snack and I maybe have one a few times/week. I get mine from Amazon.

I made a typo!!! I just went to get the bar out of the box to type the grams of sugar and realize it is the Dark Chocolate Nut and Sea Salt!!! Not caramel! (Salted Caramel is my daughters favorite frappacino at Starbucks lol). KJPA you and I are both ditzy today!!! Although I love all of the Kind bars I have been trying to only eat the lower sugar ones. I am just having a hard time finding them. I believe the ginger one that ambermoon mentioned is low sugar so I will have to try that next if I can find it.
