This week’s (and our first ever) PBJ review covers the Whole Earth & Sea Pure Food Organic Vegan Greens protein bar! Starting right off the bat, this particular council member (Judge Toast) is not a big fan of that name. Not that naming is part of the judgment criteria, but criminally long and bad names such as this one are a cause for an exception. This bar, in particular, was brought to our attention long before the PBJA association formed, but mere sentiments alone will not save it for the new one that Judge Bread, the first review writer, is about to tear it.
Judge Bread’s Thoughts: The Greens Food Bar was our very first protein bar that we, the judges, have tasted in what hopes to be a very great and long year of tasting protein bars. However, this bar was not a delight to our taste buds, mainly mine, due to the bar's dryness, mix of chocolate and fruits, and the chunks of cranberries. It had a more earthy texture and taste to the bar which I believe was because of the excessive amount of ingredients that was put into the bar. It was a heck of a lot as the ingredients filled most of the back of the package. The look of the protein bar received an average score due to the outside looking great with all the chocolate covering it while the inside was rather unpleasant because of the dirty green appearance making it very unappetizing. The texture, along with it being earthy, was fine except for the chunks of cranberries throughout the bar. Overall, this protein bar is one that I personally will never try again. I can’t speak for the other judges however if they personally wish on feasting on this unspeakable bar again but I will not be tasting again. I give it a zero star rating.
