It is a cut above your usual PoptartIt does not contain high fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated oils, artificial colors or flavors, or any other additives. It even has organic ingredients and some whole wheat content! HOWEVER, I would not make these any more than an occasional treat. It does still contain 18 grams of sugar, and most of it is NOT from fruit. There is also only 1 gram of fiber, and only 3 grams of protein. It wouldn't hurt for the whole wheat content to be bumped up a little, and it wouldn't even be noticeable if white whole wheat flour was used, or some other healthy flour. The current combination will put your blood sugar on a roller coaster. It also has a lack of added vitamins, which is one of the only good points of other Poptarts.As for the taste, it is pretty intense. You can really taste the strawberry! It's nice and slightly chewy, although not annoying, rubbery or tough. It sort of reminds me of a soft sugar cookie in terms of texture. Try it yo'self, and see what you thinkIt's still healthier than your average Poptart.
There are a lot of flavors out there besides "sweet," you know.
These pastries aren't as sweet as Pop Tarts, very true. I find (and I'm talking unfrosted) that I prefer tasting the strawberry stuff and the pastry stuff rather than the sugar stuff. This is a concept that takes some getting used too; but it's really not all that difficult.
Not that these Nature's Path goodies aren't sweet; but they aren't as sweet, so sweet your mouth feels like it wants to go immediately to the dentist after you eat one.
Shall we mention that these just may be better for you? Well, I'm no nutritionist, so let's leave that part to the scientists in the crowd.I stopped eating pop-tarts because of all the junk that was in them (hydrogenated oils, artificial colors, etc).
I tried these and wow! They are actually better tasting than pop-tarts. They still have the rich buttery crust, but their filling is actual fruit, and tastes incredible.
These look exactly the same as pop-tarts, right down to the foil wrapper and little grooves on the back of the pastry. They have organic ingredients though, and no hydrogenated oils, white flour, or artificial colors.
This doesn't make them completely "healthy" (these are still over 1/3 sugar by weight), but for an occasional snack they are awesome.This is the closest to 100% organic of all companies and they work on bringing the price down for competition.
all Nature Path products are great!I am currently 6 months pregnant and have been craving pop-tarts my entire pregnancy but I do not want to put all the junk that's in regular brand "pop-tarts" into my body. I looked all over for a healthier alternative that was UNFROSTED (I hate frosting) at my local stores but no one had them. After finding these on Amazon I ordered them directly from Natures Path because I wanted to make sure I liked them before committing to the 6 pack of boxes.
I just had my first one straight from the toaster and it was delicious!!! It tasted so much better than an actual pop-tart. To me pop-tarts always left a greasy taste in my mouth. While these are by no means a healthy snack food, they actually taste like real food. They do not taste like grease and chemicals but actual food and they contain MUCH better ingredients for mine and my baby's health than the typical pop tarts you find in store. I won't feel guilty about eating these from time to time and they totally satisfied my craving!
