Wild Bar Review & Giveaway

2009 May 4
by Heather Eats Almond Butter

My breakfast was 100% Heat the Salmon Butt worthy:

Looks like my usual blended oat bran, no?

Looks like my usual blended oat bran, no?

I don’t even want to get into what I tried for breakfast this morning.  I’ll leave it at this…remember my lovely savory cauliflower mash from Saturday?  Well, today, I tried a sweet version using steamed orange cauliflower and vanilla rice protein powder.  The only redeeming factor in my bowl was the almond butter topping. Sweetened pureed cauliflower?  I know…what was I thinking?!?  Let’s just say it turned out to be a Radley Eats Almond Butter kind of morning…Radley being my dog. :)

Now, onto better tasting things!

My new favorite bar!!!!!

My new favorite bar!!!!!

A few weeks ago, Kathleen, one of my readers, emailed me about Wild Bars, a 100% raw whole foods bar.  After hearing the Mountain Mint flavor tasted like a Girl Scout Thin Mint cookie, I was sold and immediately contacted the folks at Ancient Sun Nutrition, producers of the Wild Bar, begging for requesting a sample.  Not only did they send me some samples, but they also offered 3 lucky readers a chance to win 4 bars each.  Thank you Ancient Sun Nutrition!

Oh my gosh you guys, these bars are soooo amazing.  Kathleen was spot on…I have no idea how the producers of Wild Bars did it, but the Mountain Mint flavor totally tastes like a Thin Mint cookie!  The Mayan Spice is equally delicious.  The combo of raw cacao and spices was nothing short of amazing.  I’m also a big fan of the nutritional stats: 185 calories, 9.5 grams of fat, 19 grams of carbs, 14 grams of fiber, and 5.5 grams of protein…plus 53% of your daily B12. Impressive!

Mmm...raw macadamia nut chunks.

Mmm...check out the Mayan Spice's raw macadamia nut chunks.

Seriously, you have got to check out the list of ingredients in these bars – each one is an antioxidant-rich nutritional powerhouse!  So, want to try some for yourself? All you have to do is visit the Wild Bar site and leave a comment below with at least one ingredient contained in either bar.  I’ll leave the comments open until midnight tomorrow night (Tuesday, 5/5) and announce the winners on Wednesday.  Best of luck – I truly wish I could send each of you one of these bars!

Edited to Add: Please leave a comment on this blog post.  Do not email your comment to Ancient Sun Nutrition.  I will pick 3 random winners from the comment section below to receive 4 bars each.

My only complaint about Wild Bars is the price…$4.95 per bar, but I realize the price is so high based on the list of ingredients.  Whole blue-green algae ain’t cheap folks, but it’s one of the only animal-free sources of long chain fatty acids like EPA and DHA, essential for optimum brain functioning.  Honestly, I would eat Wild Bars everyday if I could, but looks like they’re going to have to be an occasional treat…according to my wallet anyway. :)

So, have you tried Wild Bars?  If so, what did you think?

I leave you with…

    I love those bars!! I prefer the mint over the mayan spice, but they’re both yummy. I feel like they have a flavor that I can’t spot-on describe, but IIII liiike it! They are pricey, but I think unless you eat 5 a day, it can be worth it. I can only find them at one place though! sad :(

  2. 2009 May 4

    oh how very cool that the raw bars taste like actual cookies! :)

    sorry to hear about the orange cauliflower mash… although that must’ve looked so pretty!

    Those bars look so interesting. Mayan spice sounds delicious, and the ingredient list is so unique. I really want to try these!!
    And your breakfast! Cauliflower addition was good in theory, right?! hahahaa :]

  5. 2009 May 4

    hahahhahahaha- I love the CD comment of the day. It is my favorite so far. I have not tried these bars but WANT to! I think both Josh and I would like these.

  6. 2009 May 4

    I am always amazed by the sheer number of bars out there! I feel like I learn about a new one each day!!

    I have not seen these yet, but perhaps we are a little behind the bar times here in Canada.

    I love that they are sweetened with dark blue agave!! That is great.

  7. 2009 May 4

    Yummmmm, orange rind, vanilla powder & cinnamon…I am excited to try these bars!!

  8. 2009 May 4

    I have never tried these bars but I want to now!!

    It seems they both contain macadamia nuts, which is totally cool. Thanks for the giveaway :)

    dark blue agave!!!!

  12. 2009 May 4

    I think it’s so intriguing that the Mayan Spice bar has mesquite in it. Sounds delicious! The price tag is too bad though. I’m not independently wealthy, sadly. :)

    marie permalink

    I haven’t tried this bar yet but hopped over to the website and noticed that one ingredient in them is macadamia nuts. I LOVE macadamias!

  14. 2009 May 4

    O man, i want the mountain mint one with Maca Root powder :D They sound great, but bad if you get addicted b/c i can NOT spend that much on a bar!

  15. 2009 May 4

    Maca root powder, yummmm :)
    Love adding that stuff to my smoothies!

  16. 2009 May 4
    Gigi permalink

    I’ve never commented, but I LOVE thin mint cookies so I gotta give this one a go. I don’t have any clue what maca root powder is, but it’s in the bars! Have a lovely day :)

    I haven’t tried those but they sound awesome!

  19. 2009 May 4

    whoa that’s expensive! the mayan spice bar has mesquite and hemp seed…interesting. sounds tasty though!

  20. 2009 May 4

    ooo… those bars look AMAZING! I’ve never seen them before! I should try them, especially since they contain the food of my ancestors, ha ha.

  21. 2009 May 4
    Kara permalink

    Those look delish – I wish they had a list of places to buy! One ingredient mentioned in the mint flavor is dark blue agave nectar – I’m particularly excited to try a bar sweetened with agave because I’ve been trying to work it into my eating to replace refined sugar in various ways!

  22. 2009 May 4

    Those look and sound amazingg!! The ingredient list had me at Macadamia nuts…ANDDD tomorrow is my 21st bday, so winning this contest would rock! ;)

    Oh man, macadamia nuts are my absolute fave, so I’m excited to see them in the bars!!! Awesome giveaway!

  24. 2009 May 4

    Ooh, poor Jay Robb :( CD is pretty funny.
    I haven’t tried those bars but macadamia is such an usual nut to see in bars. I bet it adds a really nice flavor!

  25. 2009 May 4
    Catie permalink

    these look really interested! it says the mayan spice is only sweetened with dark blue agave…thanks for the giveaway:)

  26. 2009 May 4

    Uh..yeah cauliflower for breakfast, you’re a brave girl!
    These bars look quite interesting, I’m willing to give them a try. The Mayan spice says it is made with hemp seeds! ;)
    Thanks for checking these out!

    I seriously go through about 100 bars a month, i’m up for anything new.. I buy a mixed (balance/metrx/pria/eas, etc) lot of mushed/or slightly expired bars from a wholesaler i met off ebay- and he sends me 500 at a time for about .50c each.
    They are just to convient to take to the gym– and for before and after running when you want something quick to get in that 30 minute “window”..

    Algae?! I’m up for it!
    If i use these though i’ll be missing my favorite post-run chemicals of fructooligosaccharides(i kid you not) and Acesulfame!!?? ;-)

    I love that the mountain mint bars are sweetened with dark blue agave nectar! These look so delicious! :)

  30. 2009 May 4

    I haven’t ever seen those bars, let alone tried them!! I do love what blue-green algae does for my digestive system though!

  31. 2009 May 4

    I have never seen these before but they sound like they would be right up my alley.

  32. 2009 May 4

    Anything with vanilla powder and hemp seeds is a winner to me =) I really hope I wiin these, my nutritionist (and mom) have been getting on me about B12, what a great source!

  33. 2009 May 4

    Sweetened cauliflower mash sounds very adventurous! Sorry it wasn’t that great!

    I’ve never tried (or even heard of) those bars but they sound awesome! Dark blue agave nectar? I haven’t heard of that kind but hey – I’d give it a shot ;)

  34. 2009 May 4
    Sarah permalink

    Wow! These bars look wonderful! I haven’t ever heard of the dark blue agave before.

  35. 2009 May 4

    I am loving the CD’s random comments.

    That mint bar sounds right up my alley – plus I need new ones since my husband found my “secret bar stash”.

    maca root powder sounds interesting – I’ve never seen that ingredient in anything else!

    I hadn’t heard of those bars but they sound yummy! Hopefully one of those will help to counteract that breakfast.

    Arielle permalink

    Awesome giveaway!! I don’t mean to be argumentative, but I thought I should point out that blue-green algae is actually very cheap. It’s the most common form of natural colouring in anything green (food, candy, drinks). It incredibly easy to grow and doesn’t require pesticides, hence being naturally organic by default. They usually farm it in vast quantities, and it grows so quickly that it’s very economical.

    Anyway, in the bars there seems to be…cocao, agave nectar, hemp seeds, and mesquite. Yum!

  40. 2009 May 4

    MMMMMMMM, the Mayan Spice looks yummy. And even though I’ve never heard of some of the ingredients, I’d like to try it.

  41. 2009 May 4
    Michelle C. permalink

    wow! thats pricey but they look delicious. The mayan spice has cayenne and vanilla powder in them

  42. 2009 May 4

    Oh no….salmon butt….no good. Yummy bars…..very good! It’s hard to find a good raw bar that is lower in calories, and not packed with tons of sugar! I’ve never seen those in my local stores, but I’ll have to request they order some. I’m sure they love me down there…..always demanding them to carry new things!

  49. 2009 May 4

    That bar looks great! It’s too bad it’s so expensive. That’s the main problem with so many of these bars.

  50. 2009 May 4

    Sounds yummy! I love macadamia nuts and would love to try the Mountain Mint bars… :)

  51. 2009 May 4

    Cayenne in the Mayan? (saying in my head so that it rhymes) ;-)

    I DO love me some Mac Nuts, too.

  52. 2009 May 4
    Bethany permalink

    Organic cacao. They look delicious!

  53. 2009 May 4

    Peppermint essential oil + raw cacao = SUPER YUMMY :)

  54. 2009 May 4

    mmm. Macadamia nuts!! What an exciting bar! My only question would be if there are analogues in the algae that block the absorption of the B12. I had that problem when I was a rawfoodist. I was eating tons of algae and still developed a B12 deficiency.. .we are talking salads made of solely sea weed and spirulina smoothies daily. Hopefully it is ok though!! I am always so wary… I still want to try it!! = )

  73. 2009 May 4

    As soon as I realized where your breakfast was going, I shouted, “NO!!!!”

    And then when I saw CD’s quote of the day, I said, “NO!!!!”

    (Okay, really I said, “He’s right.” Don’t tell Jay.)

    Cacao is the shiznit. Obviously. And so are you!!!

    Macadamia nut with mint does sound delicious.
    Plus the taste is like a Thin Mint? Too good.
    Only a quick look -I didn’t find on the website if they only sell online. At $5 a bar, I’d rather not pay s&h on top of that.
    Has anyone seen them for sale in stores/co-ops?

    Oooh yum! Those bars look delicious. I had to look up what Maca root powder is and for all of you others interested: According to Botanical.com, maca root is called the “Peruvian Ginseng” and has been touted by natives for its libidinal powers ;)

    In other words HEAB, count me in on this contest!

    p.s. Your brother is super adorable! Is he going to start a Scottie Eats Almond Butter anytime soon?

  113. 2009 May 4

    um anything healthy that tastes like a thin mint is OK in my book! yummo! they do look a bit expensive from the website, i wonder if you can buy them in stores anywhere? i checked out the mountain mint ingredient list and saw it is flavored with peppermint oil, must be what gives it that thin mint flavor ;) i love that they are 100% raw

  121. 2009 May 4

    I mean I can see what you were thinking with the sweet cauliflower-who would think that algae chocolate mint bars would taste very good either? We were talking about Vitamin K today and how most people don’t eat a high Vit K diet, and the whole time I thought of you and your spinach oats and bowls of broccoli-I’m assuming you may get some collards and kale in too! Anyways, those bars look great, sorry about your breakfast and keep on enjoying your Vitamin K!

  124. 2009 May 4

    Can’t believe you put cauliflower in your oats?! Well, actually…. :-)

    I’m curious about the PEA (phenylethylamine) content of the bars and if they really do improve mood. For almost $5 a pop, they’d better!

    Love CD’s random comments. Keep em coming!

    Amandamoo,
    Apparently some Whole Foods carry the bars, but I can’t find them in Nashville either. :( Several West Coasters have mentioned seeing them in their stores. You could always email the company to find out if they’re sold in your area.

    Janetha,
    Apparently, some Whole Foods carry them, but none in my area (Nashville). Some West Coasters have been able to find them in their stores. You can always email the company to find out if they’re available in your area. Hope you find some soon…or win some. :)

    Wild blue-green algae. Thanks for the giveaway. I don’t think I’d try them on their own due to the steep price.

    Oops, I forgot to leave an ingredient in my last post! Can you delete it? One ingredient in these delicious-looking bars is maca root powder.

  186. 2009 May 5

    I am totally intrigued by the inclusion of raw cacao (and all of the other ingredients that I’ve never seen in a bar!!). These sound great. :)

  187. 2009 May 5

    Blue-green algae are getting their energy directly form sunlight (like plants), and thus they are an environmentally friendly choice. Plus, they sound like a tastebud friendly choice too in those bars….!

    Haha, sometimes we think we have great ideas and after we taste them, we’re like, “What were we THINKING?!” Well, your newer post with the oat bran and steamed cauliflower blended together sounds like a much better combo… I wish I could try out that Sun Warrior protein too!

    Mountain Mint has maca root powder,

  224. 2009 May 5

    I haven’t tried these bars, but the Mountain Mint sounds awesome. I’m always up for something that tastes like Thin Mints. One ingredient is raw cacao, which I actually have had on it’s own (not as sweet as one would expect, that’s fo sho). My boyfriends mom makes a smoothie with raw cacao and maca every day.

  225. 2009 May 5

    Those bars look sensational, Heather! Thanks for the chance to win :)

    I laughed out loud at your Heat the Salmon Butt recipe. I think it had potential, really I do. Perhaps if the cauliflower was mixed with something a little sweeter? Haha, I don’t know – I just want it to become Heather Eats Almond Butter worthy!!
