A Tried and True Green Product Review … one complimentary bag of EnviroKidz Crispy Rice Bars treats was provided us for the purposes of this review. In short – they’re fun, tasty and crunchy.

Don’t be afraid … bag in hand and ready to dole out samples, we made our way to our 12-year-old nephew’s soccer game. Adults and kids alike gave these eco-friendly and healthy treats a try and everyone thought they were “good!” After sampling 4 (it was a 2-hour game), 7-year-old brother Austin stuffed 2 more in his pockets to have later – presumably, the moment he got home.

The texture of these treats is on the order of a classic Rice Krispies marshmallow treat … flavor-wise, they’re milk chocolatey with a hint of vanilla and without a trace of overly sweet marshmallow goo. The fine print on this fine treat:

• gluten free (a great alternative for kids with allergies)
• low fat
• 45 calories per bar
• 4g whole grain
• made with USDA-certified organic ingredients: (brown rice flour, brown rice syrup, honey, invert cane sugar, cocoa butter, milk powder, chocolate flavor, soy lecithin, soy oil, evaporated cane juice, cocoa, acacia gum, sea salt, molasses, natural chocolate flavor and natural vanilla flavor
• no artificial preservatives
• 1% of sales donated to species and habitat conservation or education programs for kids.

Where to buy: Made by Nature’s Path – a mom & pop dedicated to eco-friendly and organic living – you can find these Limited Edition tasty treats online at Nature’s Path EnviroKidz or in store at your local Whole Foods Market (bag of 20- 21 bars, $5.99).
