This snack is loaded with crunchy bits of soya nuts, whole soybeans that have been soaked and roasted.  As a very rare consumer of soy nuts I wasn’t sure what to expect.  To my pleasant surprise, I thoroughly enjoyed the Soya Mix HoneyBar.  It had a very different texture and flavor from the other nut and seed varieties.  The mild flavor of the soy nuts was contrasted by their very crispy-crunchy texture, which reminded me somewhat of corn nuts.  The soy nuts were chopped into very small pieces to create more of a granola bar-like consistency overall.  The addition of chopped almonds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, raisins, and honey rounded out the mix to create a sweet, nutrient packed, treat.  Unlike some overly “seedy” bars, the honey seemed to meld very well with this variety.  Although a touch high in fat for a little bar, 11g, we would expect that the nut and seed blend would provide some good Omega-3’s.  The lack of sodium and cholesterol coupled with a high soy-based protein content, 9g, help to balance out the added sugars from the honey. 

• Pros: 100% Certified organic variety available; High in soy based proteins; Rich in “good” fats; Great crunchy texture; Mild and sweet flavor; Gluten-free
• Cons:  A touch high in sugars (12g) and calories (220) for daily snacking

Recommended For:

• A Crispy-Crunchy Variation on the Granola Bar
• Post-Workout Energy
• Afternoon Snack
• Soy Nut or Corn Nut Fans

Natural vs Organic: 

This HoneyBar comes in both the Natural (all natural ingredients, no preservatives) and 100% Certified Organic.  We only trialed the Natural Bar in this case, therefore a comparison would be difficult.  However, a quick scan of the ingredients tells us that these two varieties should be very similar (beyond the all-organic ingredients of course).  One small exception, the Natural Bar has just a touch of cashew pieces, a component not found in the Organic Soya Mix Bar. 

Where to Buy:

• Online – U.S. shoppers will find all HoneyBar varieties on Amazon, Canadian shoppers should head to the healthy shopper.
• In Store - Natural Food Grocers in the U.S. and Canada
