Mrs. May's Ultimate Bars
We, here at CandyRobot, delve deeper into the candy rabbit hole than most. We explore all different areas of snack food goodness even the realm of health bars. As the common stereotype of disgusting health bars pervades throughout the health realm, plaguing potential lovers from ever tasting their healthy flavor, Mrs. May slices through the stereotyping fog with her Ultimate Plus Bar: Mango and Strawberry.
With an array of peanuts, almonds, white sesame seeds, dried strawberries, mangoes, and even cashews, this bar really is ultimate. All that for 200 calories is not too shabby for a snack that tides me over during those dreaded, hunger stricken morning hours between breakfast and lunch. It is all 100% natural so there are no preservatives, additives, cholestrol, trans fat, and gluten. It is even vegan friendly! Though I am not a vegan (I am in awe of their ability to resist and deny themselves the pleasures of a tender, juicy steak), this plus bar exploded in my mouth with a sweet flavor that made me want to eat more and more of it.

Before I took my first bite, I hoped for a prominent mango and strawberry flavor much like I taste in candy but I was pleasantly surprised with strong almond and peanut flavors. The fruit flavors did make an appearance though in a subtle sweetness not tasted in many other healthy bars. I appreciated the combination and thought it fine for any palette – not too sweet and not just a nutty flavor. However personally, I would have liked a bit more fruity flavors because I do very much enjoy my dried fruits, but when I’m hungry, I can’t complain. I devoured the bar and the only sounds that could be heard were the crunches of the Plus Bar meeting the shredding and pulverizing of my teeth.

I examined the packaging one more time after I inhaled the whole bar and saw that it was high in fiber, a full five grams of fiber. As if the realization in my brain triggered a chemical reaction in my abdomen, my stomach started gurgling. The fiber is doing its job! I can feel it working as I type this message. I can feel my body reacting to the new healthy substance with an immediate response that firefighters usually show. “OH! Is that a healthy dose of fiber coming down the shoot? Use it! Quickly! All the sugary treats this guy has been eating is making him obese as we speak! Now, PUSH! PUSH!”
Whoa. I really do feel it.
Mrs. May’s Ultimate Plus Bars have three different flavors besides Mango and Strawberry. There is a Black Sesame Bar, full of high calcium and iron. A Banana and Blueberry Bar that is chock full of protein (10g) and finally an Ultimate Crunch Cranberry Bar that has acai and goji berries in between its nutty clusters. They are all 100% natural!
