Peanut butter chocolate Green Superfoods bar
This is an example of eating something just because it’s green… and maybe also just because everyone else is doing it. This lethal combination is the same sort of excuse someone might make for eating something like this:
Booooo
And we all know that’s not ok.
I’m a lot more ok with my choice to eat a green superfood bar than I would be with a decision to eat green ketchup, but I’m still not thrilled with it. I kind of just wanted to try it because it looked weird (and awesome) but as it turns out the taste is pretty sub-par. On top of that the list of ingredients is way too long for my liking. Granted, it’s a whole lot of organic grass (seriously), seaweed, spinach, carrots, broccoli (still serious), but together it all totals up to 27 g of sugar.
And that, my friends, is a candy bar.
Let me be clear on two things:
1. This bar is in no way like green ketchup. Green ketchup is horrible and wrong. The only thing they share is color.
2. This bar is waaaaay better for you than a candy bar. But be serious, 27 g of sugar is outrageous.
I had a huge shipment of these the other week. They are chocolate coated. That equals candy bar!
Holy cow. 27g of sugar?! Even the all-natural date-based bars don’t have that much. That’s intense.
haha – they had purple ketchup, too – now you need to find a purple bar
yeah, i’m hoping that’s right. i threw my wrapper away so i had to check their nutrition facts on their site. kind of horrifying…
I do like those bars but holy crap that is a lot of sugar..
Green ketchup… gag me…
That ketchup is just counter-intuitive. that was popular around the same time they came out with blue/pink squeezable parkay butter. how can you say no?
