Has anybody tried the 'Thinkorganic'! energy bar?

[protea]

I saw this in the shop today and it says 100% organic and raw. I have tried their cherry/cashew nut bars and it's really good! :) Any comments?
Here is their website if you want to know more: https://www.thinkproducts.com/indexset.htm

I think I've seen these at Whole Foods. Curious as well! They look good!! I have only had Lara Bars...

I just ate a Chocolate Coconut one. YUMMY. I also like the Tropical Nut. I've tried some of the others but didn't care for them.

For anyone new to this product, only the Think "Organic" is all raw. The "Energy" bar has soy and many other ingredients in it. The "Think Organic" bars have only an aveage of 5 ingredients and they are all organic and raw. They are much softer than the Lara Bars. I prefer Think Organic, but my granson prefers the Lara Bars.

I've had many of these bars. I like the cherry nut the best. Apricot is good as well. The chocolate isn't 100% raw and doesn't even taste like chocolate anyhow.

Purebars are my current favorite raw bars.

I don't know about the energy bars, but my mother bought me a box at Costco that had five each of the Cherry/Nut, Chocolate/Coconut, and Cashew/Pecan. I thought the Cherry/Nut was way too sweet, but the others were pretty good. I'm not a big fan of dates, so they're not my favorite snack.

Word of warning - be careful how you store them. I had mine in my pantry, and found that they got a thin layer of fuzzy mold on them about three weeks after I got them. The "best by" date was December 27, 2006, so I know they weren't expired. I had to toss eight bars in the trash.

In hindsight, I would put them in the fridge if I was ever given some again. The hot summer was probably the culprit of the problem.

Hi GilmoreGirl or anyone else that may have an answer,

I'm looking on the back of my Chocolate Coconut bar and it says:

Organic Raw Dates
Organic Raw Cashews
Organic Raw Almonds
Organic Raw Coconut
Organic Raw Cocoa

BUT on the front it only says USDA Orgnaic and it doesn't say Raw Organic, whereas it does say it on some of the other bars. Hmmmm, can they put Organic Raw Cocoa, even if it's not? How do we know if it's raw or not?

[Dimond]

I spoke with the company & they told me it wasn't 100%. Also on their website it says the cocoa is processed.

I always keep my bars refrigerated regardless as I don't want to attract bugs. The fact that they went bad is a good thing because it proves they're raw and needs to be treated like other raw products. Though I never had any that went bad.

I really like them. I haven't had them in awhile, but I think I liked the cherry and the pecan the best. The chocolate was good too, but like you said, not completely raw.

Thank you for all your great responses. Do I understand correctly that it is only the chocolate 'thinkorganic' bar that is not 100% raw? :o

I prefer Lara Bars to ThinkOrganic! as well, but, I read that Lara isn't organic (only her Maya ones, the only one of which I like is the mint one.)

Maybe I'll force myself to like the ThinkOrganic! more. They are great to carry around for work and school when I forget to bring lunch.

Thank you for all your great responses. Do I understand correctly that it is only the chocolate 'thinkorganic' bar that is not 100% raw? :o Cranberry Apple also.

Everyone should try the Purebars which are 100% raw & organic and I find they taste the best.

Has anyone tried Brendan Braziers bars featured on G Living?

Thanks GilmoreGirl.

I appreciate you sharing the info you got from the company.

I tried the chocolate coconut once, bought it at Wal-mart, and was not impressed. I trashed it after 1 bite. Chocolate coconut Larabar's are much better (my favorite larabar is pecan pie and lemon cookie actually :)

I love the ThinkOrganic bars, especially the chocolate coconut, so I'm very disappointed that this one is not completely raw. They are all very good, though. I found them at the grocery chain, Kroger. I have only seen Lara Bars at health food stores and special stores but I have never seen the PureBars. Can you find them at health food stores or do they have a website?

[Helen Of Tennessee]

I get my Think Organic Chocolate Coconut Bars from Wild Oats. Once I bought one from Krogers and it smelled furmented and tasted horrible and I had to toss it after one bite.

Summerloco, maybe you could give it a try again :)

Anyone compared all these bars with the organicfoodbar, especially the "vegan"?
(90% raw)

I really love these :p
, but can't compare, the others I can't but in my country :mad:

[Adrian]

I've tried a few and think they are pretty good. I always use them and the Lara bars as my break through snacks. Gotta have an emergency stash to keep me away from the junk food calling me. I guess even if they aren't all raw, they are as close as I can get.

I liked the choc coconut the best, and another that i forget what kind it was was pretty good. Not sure if it was apple and nut, or something like that, but good.

I too, keep my bars in the fridge, they taste better to me when cold. I never thought they go bad, so when I have them stashed in my purse, I better keep an eye out for the mold, huh.

YES!!!!!!!! this is my personal opnion I tried them awhile back and they taste clean and pure BUT flavor wise, i really wanted to throw up. they put wheatgrass in their bars--i think that really effected the overall flavor imo. :mad:
