Health Warrior Coconut Chia Bar

Image
I had one bite of this thing at 7:45 a.m. It's now 9:15 and I'm still picking goddamn chia seeds out of my teeth. It also tastes nothing like coconut. What a hateful snack. Deja Poop Score: 3/10. The color matches up with the first solid post-food-poisoning plop, but you'd have to have been munching nuts during recovery.

Field Day Organic Original Coconut Bar

It's like eating the inside of an Almond Joy, but with an actual coconut texture and not the weird paste-like consistency. This is delicious. Would eat again. Deja poop score: 0 (no relation) Product info: http://www.fielddayproducts.com/description2?upc=4256360330&category_id=61

Gopal's Original Brownie

In this case, "tastes much better than it looks" is impossibly hopeless. Also: it doesn't taste good. Deja poop score: Flawless victory (10 out of 10). Product info: http://www.gopalshealthfoods.com/product/original-brownie/

Raaw Macaw Coconut Husk Energy Bar

Image
A colleague gave me a couple of these Macaw Bars to try. You can order custom flavors on the company's website, but this I think is one of their regular ones: "coconut husk." It's more dry and crumbly than most other bars. I understand most hippie bar makers use date paste to get the stuff to stick together. This one doesn't do that, so the flavors of the individual ingredients really pop (at the expense of it kind of falling apart in your hands). No compliments on the looks, but it is delicious. It doesn't taste like it's trying to hide flax or other typical dirty hippie flavors. Deja Poop Score: 9/10. Product info: http://www.raawmacaw.com/coconut-husk-energy-bars
