Nutrition
The bar has 350 calories, so you probably shouldn't snack on this all the time. With 15 grams of fat and 5 grams of fiber, you will be pretty full after eating one of these. Slightly less than half of the carbs are from sugar, so you will be able to power through your day. It is a great bar to have the morning of your race day.
Appearance taste and texture
The bar looks just how you would expect. A large mass of fruits nuts and seeds. It is about the size of my first four fingers pressed together, like when you high five someone. It is pretty soft, but holds its shape in a backpack or purse. There are large chucks of fruit, most likely dates, that are much softer than the rest of the bar. It is surprising when you bite into one of these, and I'm not sure if I like it. If you love fruit leather, you will love these chunks.
Performance
I don't think that "Performance" is really the right word, being that this is not really competition food. It will keep you full for a long while, so if you need a boost before your afternoon workout, eating this 2-3 hours before will surely get you through.
Cost
The bars are not to expensive, when you think about how it can replace a meal. A case of 12 bars is $40.00, and a bar all by itself will run you around $2.75.

Does it pass the middle school test? I gave one to Matthew to find out. "It is okay, but I don't like cashews 2/5"
Overview
The bars are a great substitute to fast food. I would not recommend you eat them every day, just because it costs a lot. But if you are faced with the option of a McDonald's hamburger and a Taco Bell burrito, this is an easy way to make it through.
