A Square Deal: New Simple Squares Snack Bars Deliver the Goods 

Friday, May 25, 2012

Does your food allergy make you feel like you got the short end of the snack stick? Believe me, I hear you. I’m just so thankful for the growing awareness in the marketplace, because it means that every time I turn around there’s some new product promising to keep these issues squarely in mind.

Of course, all allergen-free snacks are most certainly not created equal—you’ve probably had your own fair share of the duds. So my current mission is to filter through the not-so-great options (you know, the ones that taste like chewy, hardened sawdust coated in fake sugar) and highlight the ones that taste good and promote good health.

Today’s pick: Simple Squares. These whole food snack bars contain only five ingredients: nuts, honey, vanilla, sea salt, and herbs—all which are organic. You can expect sweet or savory, palate-pleasing flavor from Cinnamon-Clove, Rosemary, Sage, and Coconut (my fave!). But don’t expect to find dairy, soy, wheat, gluten, or refined sugar in these crunchy, health-minded treats.

Wanna try? You can find Simple Squares in some stores, but I’d reco buying online for now until more retailers pick them up.
