The Daily Balance

So the Mister is kind of obsessed with ‘deals.’ Specifically online deals. Hey, I’m not complaining, because last week he forwarded me a deal on Think Organic bars (from Amazon.com) with a note stating that he took the liberty of purchasing two boxes! While I was thrilled with his sweetness and generosity, I have to admit I was a bit worried. We hadn’t even tried these bars before! What if they were horrible?! I’d be stuck with having to pretend that 30 putrid bars were palatable! (hey, I don’t ever want to hurt the Mister’s feelings!).

From the Think Organic Web site:

Our think Organic bars are made with the highest quality organic ingredients that are simple, pure and delicious. We believe pure whole foods are potent-they build strength, energy and beauty, invigorate and delight. Our belief inspired the creation of the think Organic bar. We harnessed the power of nature to bring you a delicious source of true vitality.

Because it’s so great, I also wanted to share the top 10 reasons listed on the Web site on why you should eat think Organic bars.

Ten Reasons to enjoy Think Organic bars:

• Organic products meet stringent standards
• Organic food tastes great!
• Organic production reduces health risks
• Organic farms respect our water resources
• Organic farmers build healthy soil
• Organic farmers work in harmony with nature
• Organic producers are leaders in innovative research
• Organic producers strive to preserve diversity
• Organic farming helps keep rural communities healthy
• Organic abundance. Now, virtually every food category has an organic alternative

I bolded the items that resonated with me.

After watching Food, Inc. I think we are all, more than ever, looking for more opportunities to embrace organic foods and practices.

Well this is all fine and dandy, Shannon, but how did they taste?!

Lucky for the Mister me, these bars were DELICIOUS! We both LOVE them and wish we would have purchased even more!

First up for evaluation was the chocolate coconut. This bar reminded me of the chocolate coconut LARA BAR, which makes a lot of sense since the ingredients are so similar. However, this bar was a bit smaller so it was a lot lower in calories, making it a better light snack option for me. I loved that the bar had whole almonds throughout — it added that crunch that I love!

Think Organic Chocolate Coconut

INGREDIENTS
Organic dates, organic cashews, organic unsweetened coconut, organic cocoa (alkalized), organic unsweetened chocolate, pectin, organic almonds.

I loved the cherry nut because it contained chunks of dried cherries, which added a sweetness to the nutty base, without over powering the bar. One of the problems I have with the Cherry Pie LARABAR is that the tart cherry flavor is so overpowering! I know that some people enjoy that intense, fruity flavor, but it isn’t for me. This bar incorporates fruit in a more understated way, making my taste buds quite happy

Think Organic Cherry Nut

INGREDIENTS
Organic Dates, Organic Cherries, Organic Cashews, Organic Apricots, Organic Walnuts.

I go back and forth with which of the two bars are my favorite flavor because they were both so delicious!

Have you tried think Organic bars? AND Do you take advantage of online deals? What is one of the best food products you’ve purchased online?

   Oh, I’ve had the Think Organic bars before, and they’re good!

   I definitely want to see Food, Inc. I’ve seen a lot of how they treat livestock from animal rights sites, It’s really pretty gross, and horribly cruel to the poor animals. Whenever I buy eggs they’re Cage Free, and
   the meat and chicken I get are all free range as well.

   There may be a food chain, but I figure the LEAST we can do is give them
   some dignity and treat them as well as possible during the short time they’re
   here.

   I don’t think I’ve tried these. I think the kind I tried was “Think Thin” and they tasted kind of fake. I’ll keep an eye out for these. I’ve ordered larabar, zbar, and mojo bars on amazon before
