Pure Fit Nutrition Bar: Almond Crunch

This is the second PureFit Nutrition bar that Rob and I taste-tested. This one is Almond crunch and on first bite, it sure packs a punch- but I'd say you need to love almond paste or marzipan to fully enjoy it. I'm actually a marzipan fan - Rob not so much. With a strong almond flavor, the almond crunch has a similar mouth feel- it does seem to be on the dry side by mid-mouth- but it is moister than the peanut butter crunch. A swig of water solves that dilemma instantly however. Be forewarned that this is a dense bar- I definitely was feeling no hunger pangs for a few hours after eating it. Perhaps though that's due to the high protein content. I'm still in amazement over the 18grams of it! Pretty impressive!
Now don't go expecting PureFit Almond Crunch bars to taste like a Snickers- because they won't- but it does taste good- and is really good for you!
