For coconut lovers only! The intensely tropical JoeBars by Cocomo Joe are tightly packed shreds of unsweetened coconut bound together with a wee bit of coconut nectar and coconut oil.
Though they have a macaroon-like vibe, they are drier with an almost crispy-chewy bite. Tony liked the flavors and said it was like chomping on a “bag of sweetened coconut”.
I really enjoyed the fruity vibe of the Mango and Fig varieties (pictured below). The Coffee flavor would be a hit with java lovers. Additional flavors include Cranberry, Cocoa, and Green.
All passed our test except for the Green, unfortunately. It was a bit too “green” in color and flavor for our tastes.
Though organic coconut is the key ingredient, each JoeBar contains a selection of other organic ingredients, including: walnuts, raw maca root powder, chia seeds, virgin coconut oil, and flavors (depending on the bar) such as cocoa powder, spirulina powder, roasted coffee, and dried fruit.
Considering the high quality, organic ingredients in these super-dense bars, I would even venture to label them as a value at full price. Though I imagine they will go on sale for an even better deal at times. The bars pack in 330 to 340 calories of goodness and are quite high in fat due to the coconut. Although, there are 90 calorie BabyBars for a lighter option.
