"Snacks Wonder who we pack into each flavor. "This is the motto of Hop and Go . With their new look, these pretty little boxes of snack bars, which I admit, I was drawn to their side trendy (but also because it was pink ...) seem to me more like a dessert, a treat hand. But between you and me, between a tiny bar meal that tastes sweet chocolate powder commercial cake and a slice of cake that comes from the bakery on the corner, the choice is not difficult, but you must know how to choose his treats, whatever;)!
Why I critical new product? Well, among other things, because again, we try to enforce the nutritional benefits, when in reality it is not a nutritious food. At all. "Omega-3: 0.2 g. .. Fiber: 1g ... Source of Iron ..." These claims are misleading: it really is a bar-cake we will do our supplies of omega-3? Certainly, it is easier than eating two servings of fish per week. But when we know that the needs of omega-3 are 1.1 g and 1.6 g per day for women and men respectively, it is unlikely that consume 5-8 small bars Hop and Go to get our dose of good fats ...
Especially when you know they contain, and I quote:
Ingredients: Icing sugar , sugar / glucose-fructose , enriched wheat flour , margarine, vegetable oil, cocoa, egg mixture, fructose, apple puree concentrate (apples, ascorbic acid, potassium sorbate), glycerin, raspberries, modified milk ingredients, maltodextrin, modified starch, salt, oil palm kernel oil, baking powder, gums (xanthan and sodium alginate) potassium sorbate, soya lecithin, sorbitan monostearate, polysorbate 60, citric acid, malic acid, sodium phosphate, dicalcium phosphate, sodium citrate, dehydrated citrus pulple, sodium benzoate, mono and diglycerides, natural and artificial flavor , dye
Honestly ... I know these bars are on special at Metro and IGA this week ... Beautiful, good, cheap. I bought because I am an eternal curiosity. I tasted, because I am a sweet tooth and hardened, needless to specify how much I was disappointed with the taste. And what about its size Miniature! Gentlemen, you finish it in one bite, I promise, swear!
The lesson in all this: it takes you a split second to take this product, put it in your grocery cart. 45 seconds to eat. The rest of the day to ask more to satisfy your taste for sugar.
You take 10 minutes to mix the flour, oats, eggs, honey, nuts, some dark chocolate chips, a little oil and of baking powder, it's true. And 15 minutes to cook while you do other things, of course. But your wallet will thank you, your stomach will be well filled, as well as your taste buds tend to be filled chocolate. I'll bet your house bar will be a delight! Free of sodium alginate, and modified palm kernel oil ...
Have you tried these bars Hop and Go? I want your opinion!
ps: For those who wonder what will happen with these famous bars, I'm afraid they are forgotten in my pantry ... But I have a man who eats, I'm convinced. He was warned, but what do you want, it is one to be proud of the first appearances) If at least he listened to me ...
