    Didn't enjoy the blueberries very much since I'm not the biggest fan of them. If you like blueberries, then you'll probably enjoy this bar. It was very crunchy so this is personal preference- I thought it was kinda too crunchy but didn't taste that bad.

    Love this line of granola bars! I can't stand rock-hard granola bars, and these are perfectly soft and chewy.
    Good quality chocolate and pieces of fruit make these granola bars delicious, yet still quite healthy. I like that these are low sodium but high in fiber and vitamins A,C & E. I am not usually a huge fan of blueberry flavour but I did enjoy these. Will repurchase!

    The blueberry with acai is my second favourite out of the three. Really good but I would probably only buy if the cranberry one was unavailable. Great flavour and good nutritional value.

    I received this as a sample and loved it! Great for something different and tasted amazing. Felt as if I was indulging in a chocolate bar but for way less calories and fat. I would buy this in the future.

    I love blueberries and dark chocolate so it was no surprise that I loved this bar. I like that the ingredients are simple , it's gluten free and that it is under 200 calories. Crunchy, nutty and a delicious change from granola bars.

    Blueberry with Acai are good although I prefer cherry pomegranate flavour. Still a crunchy and filling snack and great for on the go. Love the dark chocolate layer it is so delicious. I will definitely be purchasing these again. Even my picky children enjoyed them, and to me that's a big win. What a great opportunity to try these for free. Thank you Brookside and Chick Advisor.

    I received 3 bars from the Chick Advisor Product Review Club. The blueberry with acai was my least favourite. It was still good, but not one I'd purchase again. I like that I can read all the ingredients, nothing unknown in there. I like that the ingredients are all GMO free. I don't eat a gluten free diet, but I do try to avoid excess gluten when I can. Compared to "other" breakfast bars it in extremely nice to see a clean ingredient list. I am glad there are no artificial sweeteners in there either. Many bars have a chemical aftertaste because of the sweeteners they use.Nutritionally, the bar compares fairly equal to Quaker/Kellogs/Nature Valley as well as Larabar Uber. They all have similar calorie, fat, fibre, carb & sugars.
    The taste of this flavour was average! I am not a fan of chocolate all by itself and this bar had just enough for a taste, without being overbearing. I really liked that I could taste individual ingredients! One bite was a taste of almond, then next bite was fruity. This one wasn't as fruity as the others, and I tasted more chocolate than I would like. Every other granola bar I've tried has the same flavour throughout the whole bar. Many bars just taste like sugar coated granola and this bar was completely different. Although a little sweet, the flavours of the individual ingredients were quite obvious.
    The quality of the Brookside Chocolate did not disappoint! I enjoy quality chocolate and this is not found in most other bars. Others only have chocolate flavoured milk ingredients, sometimes not even cocoa in the ingredients!
    I also like the see through packaging. You can see what is inside, and you can clearly see the large pieces of fruits and nuts.
    Price - Well, if you compare it to Quaker type bars, then it's hugely overpriced. 10x the price actually... But it isn't a Quaker bar. The quality of ingredients, GMO free, the flavour, all put this bar in the premium category, and the price is the same as those bars. (KIND, Larabar). There are other organic bars (natures path) that offer boxes of 4-6 bars for about $4 so those are half the price of the Brookside bars also. However, I haven't seen any fruit/nut bars with this good quality chocolate.

    Bottom line, I don't eat granola bars. I do like fruit bars, nut bars, and any mixture of the two. The Brookside Chocolate makes this fruit & nut bar a very nice treat! I will recommend, and I will purchase the other flavours occasionally, but not likely this one.
