Kardea Chai Spice Review

Am I eating a cup of tea?  Wow.  Eating this bar was a completely new experience for me.  The people over at Kardea really hit the nail on the head when they tried to come up with a bar that tasted like “Chai Spice“!  The texture was a big plus for me, as I mentioned in my other review, I love the chew + crunch that each bar seems to feature.

On the other hand, this flavor although completely on-point with its goal, was not a huge hit for me, simply because I’d rather sip on a hot cup of chai tea, rather than eating it :)   So if you love the idea of eating something that tastes like Chai tea, this is definitely the bar for you… As for me, I’m sticking with the banana nut!

For more information, I thought I’d post some interesting tid-bits from their website regarding their products:

  • Plant Sterols-1 gram
  • Total Fiber-7 grams with 5 grams Soluble Fiber
  • Heart Healthy Soluble Fiber-3grams
  • Protein-7 grams with 3.5 grams Soy Protein
  • Vegetarian-Friendly (Chai Spice & Banana Walnut Are Vegan)
  • Kosher Certified
  • Only 150 Calories/Bar
  • No Trans Fats
  • Lower Glycemic Formulation

    Sounds good! Don’t know if I’ve ever seen those bars, though. Will have to look and see next time I’m at the store!

    As for the Kardea bars…well, I’ve been hearing many good things, but can’t find them in stores…so hmm… maybe some day!

    I agree with you – I prefer to keep my Chai Tea in liquid form! Have a great night!

    Was it filling? The calorie count is appealing but only if its filling! Let me know ;) Great review!

    Hmm while the flavor does seem odd, the nutritionals on these bars are amazing! Thanks for the review!

    Have you ever tried the Luna Chai Tea bar? I bought it recently and am hesistant to try it, I wonder if the flavor would be the same.

    I can’t remember if you’ve had the lemon ginger one – but if you haven’t – YOU MUST TRY IT – they are heavenly!

    I totally understand what you mean about the flavor with the chai tea though – I want my drinks to taste like drinks – and my food to taste like food! :P
