HOW GOOD ARE THEY? Solid bars with a home-made feel! Mostly organic and full of ingredients that you can actually pronounce, these bars are a staple to my training nutrition (when the boys haven’t stolen them off the shelf). - Josh W These bars made it possible for me to complete a marathon. Always before I had difficulty with sugar instability and would feel sick after completing a half marathon. I ate a bite of a Kurt bar every 2 miles throughout my marathon and finished feeling fine. - Carla H The best tasting energy bars you will ever have.

Not dry and the right consistency. Plus, they actually work!!! Great for fighting off hunger and providing the necessary energy for any activity.
