South Forty Snacks reviews and discussion

Their nutty snack bars were available years ago at my local Wholefoods and Sprouts, then disappeared and now finally came back! Packaging looks different, flavors a little changed up, but still the fresh crunchiness to them and a taste I enjoy!

Are these delicious? Yes. Are they expensive for what they are? Also yes. I’ve tried the basic nut bars and fruit bars from South Forty before, but they weren’t interesting enough for me to continue to buy them given the price. I recently tried their new bars that have some more unique flavors, specifically the Vanilla Almond Latte and the Pecan Pepper Berry nut bars ($2.99 at my local Whole Foods - but I got them on sale). See photo for texture of the Pecan Pepper Berry - they’re crunchy. These new bars honestly taste really good. But if you’re cost-conscious and just need a quick bar to eat on-the-go, then you can easily find a cheaper bar. If you’re prioritizing fiber or protein or macros, then these aren’t it. I could see how someone who cares about (for lack of a better phrase) “less processed” ingredients would pick these first, though. Also, beware these specific bars (because of the dried fruit) if you don’t like when food sticks to your molars.

I've only tried the pistachio bar from this brand, and it's so amazing. I love that most of the bar is made up of pistachios, so it tastes like I'm eating the nut except in a way more convenient form. If you love pistachios like I do, you have to try it.

I love cashews, and the cashew bar I had from South Forty Snacks tasted just fine, but the price is astronomical for something that is at its core sugar, honey and nuts. The ingredients are very basic, so $2.50 per bar (price charged at Sprouts in San Diego) seems exorbitant for what is essentially 65% nuts (per the wrapper) with glucose syrup, sugar, and honey. And since it's sourced from Greece (as the wrapper says), I can't see how these bars are good for the environment since they (or at least their key ingredient) have to be shipped halfway around the world when there are likely local sources available. If I were to rate this on taste alone it would be four stars, but the cost and environmental impact make alternatives—including homemade—a better option.

You can see the bar is made of quality ingredients through its clear packaging. It reminds me of peanut brittle, instead, it's full of almonds. Whole almonds coated made the bar hard to bite into but it is crispy and crunchy. It is simply delicious!

I don’t remember which flavor I had (possibly pistachio) and I really liked it. I thought it was flavorful and worth the money

The dried fruits, nuts, seeds and the nutty snack bars are all yummy. They have nice looking packaging, simple ingredients and what I would consider reasonable prices. I first got their raisins from a misfits market box and liked them so much that I have since purchased more products through thrive market, Amazon and Whole Foods.

Nice clean tasty snack, pistachio was my favorite but they were all good.

I tired the pistachio snack bar. Lots of pistachio flavor wrapped in a slightly gooey honey mix. Great snack to recover energy whilst hiking or a grab and go breakfast when you're on the run!

How good are the pistachio Southforty bars? Good enough that I’m writing this review! The pistachio is so fresh and the green pistachio dust gets on your fingers, they are sweetened to perfection. This is the best snack out there that is so healthy for you.
