I did a "vegan treats exchange" on another forum recently and one thing I sent with my care package was a bar called "Raw Revolution" it was the only thing I sent that I've never eaten before myself. Has anyone had these? Thoughts?

From the research I did awhile back, I think most or all of them are not true raw. Also read a lot of reviews saying how awful they tasted. Some like them though.

I think they are greasy/oily and not entirely raw. Only a last resort if I couldn't find anything fresh/raw to eat.

I ate some packaged raw snacks today. Some GoRaw chips which were awesome and a Prana bar (75%) raw. I'm kinda full and a little bloaty. I don't think I'll eat the rest of the day. Maybe some Chai tea......and water.

I have tried the raw revolution bar and thought it greasy and not so tasty. I like to pack a lara bar when I am camping but when I am around stores I just go in a store and buy some fruit if I am hungry and on the road. I would like to try to make my own snack bar some day when I have enough money to buy all the engredients.

I've had them. To me they taste almost the same as a lara bar, although in most flavors I prefer lara bar. In Raw Revolution I like the hazel nut flavor. Amazon used to sell them really cheep, but not anymore.

u can make your own

just put a bunch of nuts ( walnuts work good) in your food processor
put in some other stuff like organic raisins or chopped figs whatever
take it out
put whatever else u want on it
make it into a square

there u go

not the best combo

but oh well

u control the rawness

the ingredients

and definetely the price

I was traveling last week and found Raw Revolution bars at Whole Foods in a town I was in. I thought they were delish. The Chocolate Cashew bar was high calorie and 91% raw according to the label. There is also a spiralina bar with some kind of nut, I have forgotten which, and that was good as well. Fat makes things so nice and moist, so I felt like I was eating something that wasn't made to torture me, like another bar that I had the misfortune of buying a case of. I won't mention the name, but they were the driest, nastiest bars, not worth the calories.

Eating raw is something I am doing to hopefully improve my health. I don't find it wonderful and thrilling to not eat cooked, and prepared foods such as bars might help me get to a place where I am not mourning the absence of something I can get from a drive through window. I never ate that way in the first place, but the knowledge that it is forbidden now makes me long for it. Perverse.
