KIND Bars rock my gluten-free world!

Not only are KIND bars gluten free, but they also taste great! Before being diagnosed with celiac disease in December 2007, I ate a granola bar for breakfast each day during my morning commute. I had a lot of trouble finding great-tasting breakfast bars in the wake of my diagnosis, but I stopped looking when I realized that an old favorite actually conformed to my new diet.

All KIND bars are made with nuts, fruit, and honey, and they come in a variety of flavors. I especially love the Fruit & Nut Delight, Walnut & Date, and Nut Delight flavors. I often eat them for breakfast, but they’re also a perfect mid-afternoon snack. KIND bars travel well, so I keep then in my bag in case I’m stranded somewhere without a gluten free snack.

They’re a bit pricier than the granola bars I used to eat for breakfast, but most gluten-free foods are a little more expensive than their glutenous counterparts. In addition, these bars are made from all-natural ingredients, have a low glycemic index, and are packed with fiber, protein and other nutrients, which means that they’re probably better for you than most glutenous snack bars. You can order them in bulk online to save a trip to the grocery store and some much needed cash. Finally, five percent of all KIND bar sales go to OneVoice Movement, an initiative that “fosters moderate consensus to end the conflict in the Middle East.” What could be better than that?
