Great pregnancy snacks
I've been carrying these around for the past five months of my pregnancy. With not much room in my stomach these days, the bars make a nice hold-over between meals. They're vegetarian and contain many of the nutrients it can be harder for me to get as a vegetarian, including omega-3s (from algae, not fish). The other thing I like about Bellybars is that they're not horribly over sweet. So many granola-type bars try to compensate for the nutritional contents by overloading them with sugar, or fake sugar--even worse. I can't really taste the toffee in these, but the chocolate is enough to make them mighty tasty.
Where is the chocolate?
I was very surprised when I first tried these, because I was expecting delicious chocolate but instead they are somewhat flavorless. Obviously the vitamins are great and needed when you're pregnant-but the taste is bland. Luna bars are much, much tastier.
great product-not just for pregnant women
this is a wonderful power bar that is very tasty and filling. i carry it w/me all the time and it has saved me on many an occasion.
Finally, a tasty nutrition bar.
I had low expectations for Belly-bar, Baby Needs Chocolate, Chocolate Toffee Crisp, 1.59-Ounce Bars (Pack of 12), having experienced other diet/nutrition bars that were mostly cardboard-flavored or actually painful for my teeth to eat. I purchased one from a maternity store on impulse and on first bite, I was pleasantly surprised. I happily ate the entire thing and could have eaten another. I didn't of course, but was surprised to even consider it...I've only finished the others out of extreme hunger. Understand, this is not a Snickers bar or other super-sweet confection, but the chocolate in it (*gasp*) actually tastes like chocolate and none of the ingredients leave a weird aftertaste. It has a pleasantly chewy texture; think Quaker granola bar but somewhat denser. I've just ordered 2 12-packs on monthly subscription ... Read More
Yum-Oh!
I have tried 3 flavors of the Belly Bars, Baby Needs Chocolate, Crunchy Nuts and Berries and this one, Burstin Chocolate...this is my favorite, by far! I loooove the combo of chocolate and orange; this flavor is just sweet enough to satisfy your sweet craving, but doesn't give me a sugar crash afterwards.
