I really wanted to love these. They've gotten so much hype. I love the flavors but I can't deal with the texture. It's quite revolting. I feel like someone chewed up my food for me then put it in a bar format.
Change the texture.
Amazingly tasty and fresh food bars, like a whole grain bowl in a square. The red pepper pesto was my favorite and a delicious midday snack or lunch replacement for busy days.
Keep on making kickass flavor combinations!
I think the bars in concept are wonderful. I much prefer eating "real food" to bars that have a 2 year shelf life, but am constantly looking for a quick fix and so bars are often where I end up. These actually fill me up and are full of nutritious ingredients.
I wish they were organic (especially considering the eggs in the ingredient list) More flavors – I love a few of them and am not into others. (Pesto is my favorite)
I really wanted to like these. Flavors are creative but I couldn't get behind the texture to even recognize what they tasted like. It's like pre-chewed up food as I think another reviewer had mentioned. Not for me unfortunately.
Love Slow Up. Incredible flavors and so much better than your typical bar! They actually use real food ingredients and no b.s. Great as an on the go snack or light lunch! Red pepper pesto is my go to :)
