Product Review: Boomi Bar (Cashew Almond Flavor)

The last couple weeks have been incredibly busy around here! I’ve been juggling back to school (which, starting this year is homeschool) while planning a fundraiser for the community center that my husband and I run. All this on top of my usual work schedule. I must say, I am tired!

As hectic as it is, it is not a good enough excuse to neglect my diet the way I have. It’s sad, really. I am ashamed to admit that for the last week my diet has been mainly comprised of chips, string cheese and cups of applesauce. You can well imagine how this has caught up with me. This Boomi Bar was a well timed addition to my grab and go day today!

Ease of Use

This bar is easy to unwrap and eat. Even better, it is easy to stash in a purse or small bag and take anywhere.

Appearance

This bar is filled with whole cashews and almonds. It has a healthy amount of puffed amaranth and is rounded out by crisped rice. All of this is sheathed in a setting of dates and honey. It looks as tasty as it sounds. For the record, the only other thing that is in this bar is salt. No preservatives or chemicals of any kind!

Taste and Texture

The Cashew and Almond Boomi Bar tastes like real food. It is very simple with a well rounded flavor. It is lightly sweet and mild on the tongue.

As I’m sure you could guess, the whole nuts add a nice crunch to this gluten free bar. The puffed amaranth and crisp rice are just the right texture to blend the soft dates with the nuts.

Versatility

There doesn’t seem to be a great amount of versatility here. You could break the bar up and eat it like granola on yogurt ...really it is best as it is.

Overall Value

The Boomi Bar is around $1.50 for a 1.7oz. bar. Not a bad price for a healthy snack on the go.

Rating

I really enjoyed this bar. It made me very happy that it wasn’t too sweet and had a great list of ingredients.
