Mike MacLeod asked about the contents of a Bliss Bar.
There are at least 12 flavors. They are handmade and contain, one or more
types of nuts, seeds, or a nut and seed mix plus a dried fruit, some puffed
amaranth seed, honey and sea salt. For example, there is a yummy pumpkin
seed bar (pumpkin seeds, puffed amaranth, minced dates, and honey); a date
walnut; a sunflower seed bar; an Almond-Cashew Sublime....
They are not too sweet (at least the ones I tried); there is only enough
honey to hold them together. They contain about 225-240 calories; 15 to 20
grams fat; 15-20 grams carbs; 6 or 7 grams protein (that's an estimate; I've
only tried three or four flavors.
The same company makes a sprouted date-nut "ambrosia" and a "sprouted pizza
cracker" (which I sampled; both were good). The latter one has sprouted
seeds, with buckwheat and I think rye so is not strictly paleo. I was not
impressed with their hemp seed bars---which I tried some of when there were
free samples (which I usually pass up because, but these were worth trying).
Cheers,
Rachel
PS. A friend said he ordered turkey jerky from Omega Nutrition (the company
that makes unrefined coconut butter, which is great!). He said it was free
of all junk. I have not tried it but I know they have a web site. It might
be worth checking out for those who don't YET make jerky!
