    Kind Whole Fruit Bars, formerly known as Pressed by Kind

    3
    By Alisa Fleming on April 16, 2020 Dairy-Free Energy, Granola & Snack Bar Reviews, Product Reviews

    In 2016, Kind launched their first fruit bars, Pressed by Kind. Since then, they’ve received a new name, a new look, and some new flavors. They’re now called Kind Whole Fruit Bars, and include some dark chocolate-dipped varieties. I’ve left one of my old photos below, of the Mango Apple Chia Bar, since they still make it, and the bar itself still has the same ingredients and formula (so it looks like the picture).

    Kind Whole Fruit Bars are Next Level Natural

    Unlike similar brands, Kind Whole Fruit Bars have no added sugars and no added fruit juices or concentrates. The texture of each flavor is a little chunky with actual bites of fruit rather than just fruit puree. They’re bars (not leather) with the tender goodness of dried fruit – that’s it! Okay, you might find some chia seeds within, and some are dipped in dark chocolate. But those are healthful bonuses, in my opinion.

    More Allergen Notes

    These bars are kosher pareve, but Kind does make bars that contain milk. It’s rather vague, but Kind does share this allergen policy.

    Our manufacturing facilities follow strict regulations and product safety programs, which include regularly conducting U.S. FDA-grade cleanings as well as testing to prevent cross-contamination.

    These bars are free of added sugars and fruit juices, and have tender chunky appeal rather than a fully pureed consistency. The Mango flavor has a fresh sweet-tart flavor that I found really intriguing. I also liked the little bites of chia seeds.

      Tried the Pineapple Coconut Chia and the Pineapple Banana Kale Spinach. Was not impressed with either one. Taste was not appealing and overall texture sucks. Will not be purchasing this product again!!!

        That’s a bummer they weren’t great for you Kaye. Thanks for sharing your take!
