![]() ![]() Visually, the Almond Apricot bar was not the most appealing and reminded me a little bit too much of dog poo. Not sure if any of those are super foods that will give me super powers to throw discs better, or just ingredients to help the bar taste better. The other ingredients in the Almont Apricot Vanilla bar include Vanilla Extract, Hemp Seeds, and Himalayan Pink Salt. When it comes to candy bars, Snickers are always the last ones picked by me out of the snack pack. I also enjoy almonds, they are a good nut, but in my opinion nuts do not always add to the satisfaction of all snacks. We would dehydrate those suckers and they would last for months of delicious snacking. As a kid I grew up with an Apricot tree in my backyard. Here are my individual Thunderbird bar reviews in the order that I tried them out. ![]() That’s where I’ve gone ahead and purchased for different Thunderbird Bars from Infinite Discs so that I can share my opinion as a non biased reviewer who gets no financial benefit from saying they taste good. Thunderbirds are made of “superfoods” and are paleo, non GMO, gluten-free, vegan, dairy free, and have no added sugar! Thunderbird advertises that these snack bars are healthy and made of real ingredients. What disc golfer doesn’t eat some kind of snack bar during long tournament rounds? Now I know that Innova makes a very popular fairway driver called the Thunderbird, but, that didn’t look like their logo, and why would they be advertising a specific disc mold?Īfter seeing a commercial, I realized that Thunderbird is a brand of healthy “real food” snack bars, and that their marketing efforts are targeting disc golfers. I love being prepared.Īveraging 160 calories per bar and ranging between 3g-7g of protein each, they really are the perfect little snack for basically anything.While watching the Disc Golf Pro Tour, I kept seeing signs for “Thunderbird.” They’re also perfect for keeping in your purse/backpack/glovebox for that emergency that always pops up. Or when you’re sitting for an hour watching your kid at gymnastics/baseball/fill-in-the-blank. It’s just enough to refuel on a hike or after the gym. They’ve packed a lot of flavor and food into a small package and it works. Then I took a bite and understood the size. I will say that when I opened the wrapper for the first time, I was surprised by the size of the bar. The not-perfectly-paleo flavors ( Cherry+Walnut+Cinnamon, Pineapple+Mango+Papaya, Lemon+Cashew+Apricot) also have great crunch from buckwheat groats and quinoa. The crunchy little fig seeds are really just the best and also offer a little nostalgia to my childhood when I would eat an entire row of Fig Newtons. I was, however, able to narrow my favorites down to 3: Almond+Apricot+Vanilla, Pineapple+Mango+Papaya, and Cashew+Fig+Carrot. I will readily admit that I don’t like the flavor of coffee so the Hazelnut+Coffee+Maca flavor wasn’t my thing but Rob liked it. Surprisingly hard! I was positive one would just stand out from the rest, but they were all really good. Given that we tried 9 different flavors, I felt compelled to pick a favorite. Just an overall great blend of texture and flavor. They’re soft and chewy but also have a very satisfying crunch as well. All bars are loaded with fruits, nuts, and seeds. But let’s break it down a little more than that. Good news, all 9 bars got two thumbs up from everyone. I even let Rob and the kids try some too (sharing food with my kids is probably the hardest thing for me to do, because food) since a little feedback from them would probably be helpful in determining if they actually, you know, liked them. They were good before, but now there are new flavors to try, yay! I tried all 9 flavors even though 4 are not strict paleo. Thunderbird Real Food Bars have recently revamped their bars and branding, so we gave them another shot. Now, with all those options on the shelves in the bar aisle, how do you decide which ones are really worth it? It really can be hit or miss sometimes. When we do splurge and get a bunch of bars to try out, we never make it out of the parking lot before having a family-wide taste test. Oh let’s be honest, I love finding stuff for me. I feel a little silly saying this, but I really love browsing the snack bar aisle in the grocery store to find new bars and snacks for the kids. ![]()
