Ok, Ok, so I have mentioned this bar in my previous post, but now it is about time I tell you what it is.
A few weeks ago when I was visiting my brother in San Diego we went down to Solana Beach to go shopping, and I stopped in a little place called Juicers for a smoothie. While I was waiting I looked around at some of their protein bars, and came across one I had never seen.
The GoodOnYa Bar. Ever heard of it?
Made locally in Solana Beach, CA, this bar looked pretty appealing. And after looking at the ingredient list, I was even more intrigued. The ingredient list was incredible, and I was really surprised at the great nutrition facts. Although a little high in fat-it’s all good fat. And the ingredients are REAL..there is nothing fake about this bar!
It got a good recommendation from the Juice pro making my smoothie too. He told me that even though it was pretty expensive for a bar (I think it was $2.85) it was completely worth it.
Since I loved the fact it was made locally in San Diego, I went home to learn more about the bar and about the people behind the bar. The company offered to send me one of each flavor to sample, and I literally could not wait until they arrived. I was really interested to see what this was all about. There are a total of three different flavors; The Breakfast Bar, Peanut Butter Honey, and Peanut Butter Chocolate.
Now I’ve eaten my fair share of bars, and my biggest complaints are that they are too sweet, too fake tasting, or that they don’t fill me up. So once the bars arrived, I took the suggestion on the package, to eat one for breakfast with a cup of organic coffee, to see how these bars compared to others I’ve had. I tried the Breakfast Bar first.
Although my coffee wasn’t organic, it still worked well together. One bite of this bar and I knew it was completely different. First of all it was savory instead of sweet. And all it took was one bite for me to fall in love. It was smaller than I had expected, and thinner than I had expected, but much denser than other bars. I ate it slowly in small pieces to really savor the flavor with my coffee. I loved the pieces of sweet raisins and dark chocolate with the savory and nuttyness of the bar. It had such a unique savory flavor to it, but it was really delicious.
So… sure it tasted great, but did it keep me full?? OH YEA! Now, I did enjoy some fruit along with my bar, but all 3 times I’ve tried the bars, they have kept me full all morning long. I’ve already tried all three bars, and can’t wait to buy some more. They really are incredible.
Their motto is “Every Ingredient Matters”, and that is very clear in these bars. There are no fillers, it’s all real whole food ingredients. They are 100% organic, soy free, dairy free, lecithin free, GMO free, high in protein, low in sugar, and even their wrappers are recyclable polypropylene. I honestly can’t find anything wrong with this bar. It’s is THAT good.
And I just found out they are sold at Mom’s Organic Market in Rockville, MD!! 
If you get a chance, you must try these bars….you won’t be sorry! I wouldn’t have dedicated an entire post to them if I wasn’t passionate about them, and how good they are for you.

Those bars sound great!! Can’t wait to hear about this salad dressing you’ve been mentioning.
I wish they made a clean protein bar that was filling and not as many calories as a meal! Oh, in a perfect world. =)
Those sound good but I’ve never seen them around before!
Thanks for sharing!! I’m going to have to try
I live in Northern California, so I’m curious to see who sells them up here….
