Not so great...
Review by Megan on 5/10/13Ruined my favorite snack!!!
Review by Sean on 5/6/13
Why did you add the calories?? That's why I bought these!!!!!
This has been my "go to snack" - I didn't realize the change in flavor, but now it's 30 more calories arrrrrrrgggh! That's 90-120 more a day. I need to find a new snack.
I LOVE that your snacks are so natural, but that's TOO MANY CALORIES for how filling it is. Why why WHY??
Sad Day for Breakfast
Review by Danielle on 5/3/13Miss the old bars... they were awesome. I ate one every day for breakfast. Now I am switching to yogurt.. :(
I thought I got a bad batch all of a sudden....
Review by victor on 4/30/13I absolutely loved loved loved the Almond Cashew bars! I always bought at least 4 of them every work day and I'd scarf em down while on the job. They had a premium nutty texture and weren't too chewy. They were just right. Then all of a sudden the premium nutty texture was gone!! replaced by a hard & chewy, crown yanking date-taffy. Lost another Kind dedicated customer... :(
Getting the new formula
Review by Alan on 4/29/13
Must say you are getting the new formula right now
Great product
Love it,
What Happened!?
Review by Kate on 4/29/13These were my absolute FAVORITE bars until they completely changed them! First, they started at 150 calories with great flavor then it upped to 180 calories but still great flavor so no big deal but now, they are horrible and added another 10 calories! Why did you change a bar that was perfect? They added macadamia nuts plus whole flaxseed but the flavor is bad. The bar tastes very processed. I will NOT be buying these until I know KIND has changed back to the original.
Great recipe change
Review by John on 4/24/13Thank you for changing the recipe!!! Tastes much better. Improved texture by far! Just bought four 12packs...
What happened?
Review by Jennifer on 4/23/13I used to love these bars, but I really dislike the new flavor and texture.
Great Flavor and Texture!
Review by Brendan on 4/22/13This is my 2nd favorite KIND bar! The dates give it a softer texture that's a good change once in a while from the crunchier KIND bars. I really like the taste. It's sweeter than the all nut types, but not too sweet like the ones with fruit.
BRING BACK OLD LOWER CAL FORMULA
Review by Laura on 4/17/13This was the only kind bar I ate and I had at least one every day. Not only do I not like the taste of this new formula, but also the increased calorie count will prevent me from buying it. I was a VERY loyal customer, but will have to find a different brand now!
New formula not good
Review by Heidi on 4/11/13
Used to love these bars now I don't like them nearly as much
Bring back the old better and lower calorie formula!
Change it back
Review by Chloe on 2/28/13
This used to be my favorite bar of any brand and the only Kind bar I would eat.
I am extremely disappointed that the formula has changed. The flavor and texture of the old formula was so much better!. I am no longer purchasing as I just don't like them anymore.
You have lost a customer - I will only go for Lara bars now.
BRING BACK THE OLD BARS
Review by Vanessa on 2/8/13THESE USED TO BE MY FAVORITE. NOW I WILL NOT BUY THEM BECAUSE OF THE CALORIE CHANGE. CHANGE IT BACK
Not good anymore
Review by ZZ on 2/3/13Change the formula back to the 150 cal bar, please. The 180 cal version is NOT GOOD.
Change the recipe BACK!
Review by Kate on 2/2/13I don't care as much about the calorie increase as I do about the fact that whatever RECIPE CHANGE made these taste TERRIBLE! So disappointed because this used to be my favorite flavor and I won't be buying them anymore :(
Best Bars Ever
Review by Linda on 1/28/13Ordered KIND bars on QVC. Better than I expected. Favorite is Almond Cashew. Now I have an account with the company for a standing order. Great as a snack or a meal.
Bring back the old recipe
Review by Kalei on 1/23/13These used to be my favorite. The recipe change has made the flavor bland and the texture worse. Hope you guys will adjust back. In the meantime, I'll stop buying.
delightful
Review by cheekies on 1/22/13This bar is scrumptious! I don't see why people become so flustered with changes or "misleading" names. If you read the ingredients, you know exactly what you're getting. And the taste is wonderful! I happily stopped the calorie counting and have never felt or looked better. Bars like this are what help tie me over until I can get home to make something. Also, they help keep me from mental break downs :D

love it but.....
Review by erika on 1/18/13These were my favorite bars EVER!!! But I just found out I'm allergic to almonds and peanuts.. can you make me a special one because I love your bars! so healthy!!
Stopped buying...
Review by Wilson on 1/6/13I ate one a day until now. Not happy with the calorie increase. Please change back. This takes the WW points up to 5 instead of 4, and this bar is not worth that! It was the only Kind bar I ate so no more or me. Terribly disappointed.
Awesome
Review by Mike D. on 10/20/12Tried my first one on a trip back East. Tried a few different flavors from the Starbucks in the hotel. They were all good, but this one is the healthiest and tastes great. I just got home and am going to buy a box of 72. Highly recommend.
Super Yummy!
Review by SUSAN on 9/18/12This is my favorite of all KIND Bars. I love the stickiness and crunch. It satisfies my sweet tooth without being overly sweet like I have found the chocolate bars to be. I think the texture is great and I always eat these first out of the variety pack. I love them!!!
A favorite!
Review by michelle on 9/14/12I've tried only a couple of Kind bars but this is by far my favorite!! They are really hard to find where I live but when I do see them I end up buying a lot! The flavor is delicious. I don't know why many people complain and want the old one but this one is really rich with flavor.
First Try!
Review by Michelle on 8/16/12I give this bar a 5 star rating! I do not usually eat dates, but the dates tasted good when mixed with the nuts, and cashews are my favorite!! After reading some of the other reviews, since this was my first KIND Bar, I do not know what the other recipe was like. I am sure it was delicious as well. I will definitely try other flavors. What a great healthy option :).
Great Bar
Review by Sheila on 7/23/12Love the flavor!
please change back
Review by Sheila on 7/10/12Please bring back the 150 calorie bar!
Gross.
Review by Jenna on 7/6/12I wouldn't even give this bar 1 star if I didn't have to. I love every single KIND bar that I've had (which have been plenty of them) but I was sickened by this flavor. It was terrible and way too sticky. Don't go for this one - any other flavor is WAY better.
Wrong name on Almond Cashew with Flax + Omega 3
Review by Deborah on 7/3/12This is the ONLY Kind bar I have tried that I actually disliked. I am really not fond of dates, especially if it is the largest ingredient in the bar. I can tolerate a small amount of them in a bar, but not when it supplies the predominant flavor. The name of this bar does not mention dates at all, even though there are more dates in them than any other ingredient.. Please rename these to include DATES in the name. Many people do not read the ingredients before purchasing...they rely on the name like I did! I am canceling my standing Advantage order because I do not see a way to remove this flavor and I do not want to receive any more of these!
Disappointed
Review by Seriously? on 6/7/12This use to be my favorite bar, not sure if the retailer received a bad batch but these bars are now disgusting!
Why the change?
Review by Whitney on 6/4/12Like many others, I too loved the old, 150 cal version; it was delicious and light. Please bring it back!!
Good Nutrition Even Holistic Counselors Crave
Review by Jana Pendragon Bowdish on 5/12/12At Silver Sage Health & Nutrition we are always on the look out for something that tastes wonderful and delivers a powerful nutritional punch. More, finding something that can actually help clients deal with the OMEGA-3 issue that is portable, satisfying and a positive addition to health and nutrition is amazing.
Bring back the 150 calorie bar
Review by Carol on 3/30/12Why did you make a change. The old 150 calorie bar was soooo good. How terribly disappoiniting, I'm not buying these anymore and it was pretty much the only one I ate.
Paleo
Review by Anna on 3/22/12
These bars are so good and they are paleo friendly which is awesome!!!
Almond Cashew and flax (omega3)
Review by L. Lott on 3/13/12Please bring back the old flavor...a much better calorie count at 150 rather than 190 and the flavor is sooooo much better. You have taken a good thing and changed it ....for what? I rate this new change as a 2, at best compared to what was a 5.
Weight Watchers 4 pt large bar 2 pt small bar..mmmm
Review by Mary Lynn Simmons on 3/2/12I think I have found my saving grace...Almond Cashew bars are a life saver...thanks so much. They taste so healthy. I think I will be kind to myself and purchase a KIND BOX just for me:)
Marshmallow!
Review by Rachel on 2/29/12My favorite flavor. They have a marshmallowy taste.
Delicious!!!
Review by Jamie on 2/11/12This is my favorite KIND bar. The dates are sweet and the nuts are perfect.
new recipe
Review by Ashley on 11/28/11Loved the old recipe, will it come back?
Yumm.
Review by Annabelle on 11/9/11
Wow, these bars are good! This is the first flavour I've tried and I have to say, I really like it!
They contain almonds, cashews and dates (which I love) and they're also gluten and dairy free? Win! I love that I can pronounce all of the ingredients on the list (the only thing that's slightly iffy is the "natural flavouring" that's listed as the last ingredient, but I figure that's GOT to be healthier than whatever is in regular granola bars anyways, right? :P) i love that they're not overly sweet and that they taste so good, but are good for you too!
I think I'll try the other flavours now, they're so yummy! :D
Bring back the old taste!
Review by Henry D. on 9/19/11A recent change to the recipe makes the new taste completely different: from 5 stars to 1...
Fab
Review by Pacia on 9/15/11I can't eat soy or anything acidic, what a treat! Thanks :)
Good Taste, Bad Labeling
Review by KM on 8/10/11The flavor of this bar is very good. However the ingredients label is very difficult to read, and lists "natural flavor" as the last ingredient. The bar tasted as if it may have chocolate or cocoa in it, and I am allergic to chocolate, and have no way to find out if it contains any form of chocolate. Apparently there is no way to find out. "KIND" needs to be kind enough to use accurate labels.
Love it Love it Love it !
Review by Cristina V. on 8/10/11They are a bit pricey but they are worth it. Not only great nutrients......they are delicious! So far I've tried the coconut KIND almond cashew flax KIND and this one (flax) is my favorite. Love the taste, the texture. I literally crave for one of these. Like another customer commented above, they feel like you are eating dessert!
Tasty!
Review by Audrey on 5/21/11These are my favorite kind if kind bars! I was a little hesitant to get them because they look a little gross and I don't like dates. But I took a leap and bought them anyways, and they're great! They have sort of a buttery rich taste that the other bars might not have. Love them!
I'M DIGGING IT!!!
Review by Rokko on 5/21/11
I am totally digging it!!!
<3333
I've been a huge granola bars fan, though since I had KIND ALMOND CASHEW + FLAX (OMEGA-3) for the first time when it was a few months ago, I'd became a fafn of KIND! No any other brands anymore.
Seriously.
But the thing is, I'm not living in the States, so I have to figure out how to purchase them. :(
これ、焼死体ちゃんからいただいて、初めて食べたけど、私が今まで食べたグラノラの中で一気に一位!焼死体ちゃん、おいしいもの教えてくれてありがとう!!
It's the dates!
Review by Robert on 5/10/11I just read the ingredients and discovered it had Dates listed . I really hate dates :( :P.
nah!
Review by Robert on 4/2/11Something about this bar just did not tickle my taste buds. Sorry! Maybe I just don't like Flax!??
Soy lethicin
Review by Maybellarose on 3/24/11My local store doesn't carry all the different flavors, but so far this is the only bar that doesn't contain soy lethicin. I wish KIND Bars were organic, if so I would eat them everyday!
NO WAY!
Review by Anita Menius on 3/9/11Come on now!! Someone is pulling my leg. These bars could not possibly be as healthy as claimed and taste so incredibly good. As of now Kind bars are definitely a staple in my eating plan. It's not just the taste it is the fact that they contain such a large percentage of nutrients that really sold me. It is a perfect combination; taste and nutrients.
Divine
Review by Tara on 3/8/11This is my favorite Kind bar! At first I was afraid to read what was in it that made it so yummy and chewy - how did it all stick together so nice and gooey?! Then I found out it was dates! I didn't even think I liked dates. These bars are divine!!
Great Taste
Review by Cynthia on 2/22/11They taste so good!!!
One of a KIND !!!
Review by Don Cates on 2/12/11This bar is incredibly healthy AND delicious.... good for you and good to you...I highly recommend. Until now I thought fish was the only source of Omega-3.... lucky to discover this one. Definitely One of a KIND.
LOVE them!
Review by Lisa on 2/3/11I have tried several Kind bars, and this one is my favorite!!!
VERY NICE
Review by STEFANIE JACKSON on 2/2/11IT;S SO GOOD. WAY BETTER THAN A GRANOLA BAR.
Wow! Sooooo good!
Review by Gayle on 12/22/10These bars are sooo good you will feel like you are eating dessert. The texture and flavor is simply amazing.
Wonderful
Review by Mary on 12/15/10Oh my goodness! Love the flavor of this combination! It really does not taste healthy and it is better than any candy bar out there!
Steph
Review by Stephanie Walsh on 12/8/10Starving at Starbucks, ate this, YUM!
Great Bars!
Review by Cristina on 12/8/10They are great bars!

These were just okay, especially compared to the other bars this company makes. Very odd flavor and it was similar in texture to a brick. I will not be purchasing this product again and would recommend the apple cinnamon & pecan, the fruit & nut delight, Madagascar vanilla almond, and the blueberry pecan + fiber over these.
