"These bars are definitely substantial. It is a dense bar that can fit the bill as a meal replacement. The taste is not unpleasant, but is definitely "healthy" food, not a candy bar as some others on the market. Although compared to those other bars it is more expensive."

"Garden of Life Fruits of LIfe Whole Food Antioxidant Matrix Bars are my favorite of the 3 kinds of bars they make. They taste so good, it's hard to believe they are so good for you. If you are craving for something sweet, but want it to be healthy too, here is your best bet. They're chewy and truely tastes like summer berries. If you can't haul around fresh fruit with you all the time, now you can. They're healthy, convenient, and delicious!"

"Like my other two reviews for the other two flavors have said, the Living Foods Bar product line has wonderful ingredients and nutrients. This flavor tastes quite good to me as well. I still think the Apple Cinnamon is the best tasting, but this one is great too. I eat half a bar as a snack with some almonds or other protein source because this bar alone doesn't provide the 40/30/30 macro nutrient ratio I desire. Anyway Garden of Life makes great products. The only downside is all three flavors contain sprouted soy, and some people including myself try to avoid soy."
