SunRype FruitSource Bar - Apple Strawberry

This is really just fruit juice, so it's not necessarily a healthy treat - not much fiber or vitamin or anything good for you, and lots of sugar (although "natural" sugar). It's pretty thick and filling though, and I like the strawberry flavor that does come through. Not bad, considering the genre.

SunRype fruit source - Strawberry

A ha! Just plain strawberry! I think that this is my top flavor yet; I like the strawberry and it was so hot outside that it was a bit softer to eat than it normally is, which was nice. It was a good and filling (120 cals!!) snack, but it did have a lot of sugar and not many nutrients, and now that I know about Built Bars these are kind of "yikes" to me in comparison, nutrition wise.

SunRype FruitSource - Apple Mango Mangosteen

What the heck is a mangosteen? I was too lazy to look it up, but whatever it is, it probably tastes a lot like mango, because this (thick) fruit bar tasted a lot like mango. I like mango, so that's good, but this bar was also really sweet. Too sweet for my preference. Very dense, sticky, sweet thick snack. It is filling, which is good, but not overall my favorite kind of fruit snack.

SunRype FruitSource - Apple Mango Strawberry Carrot

Gosh, this bar was tHiCk! Thicker than their other ones, even the one I said was thick before. But I think it's a good thing. This is almost like a cross between fruit leather and a protein bar, made only of fruit (and carrot) juice. The texture isn't as chewy and sticky as their other stuff, which is nice. The taste is also pleasant, I guess it tastes mostly of apples and nondescript fruit...maybe even peach/pear though those aren't ingredients! It's tasty and marginally filling, and not as sweet as other fruit snacks, so I liked it. A very quick eat though.

SunRype fruitsource superfruits - blueberry pomegranate

Honestly, this isn't very good, but it's a thick strip of fruit bar, and I was starving, so I was glad to have it. It's very dense and sticky and tasted I guess like pomegranate with a little blueberry and apple flavor. Not my favorite flavor or texture, and it probably is too sweet for anyone's good. It was filling though and very convenient. About 2x as thick as their "JustFruit" bars, which are otherwise similar.

SunRype Fruit To Go Bars

These are cute little snacks, not very substantial but they taste good.  Rather than fruit leather, these are in the form of about 5-6 narrow tubes of fruitsnack stuck together, which is a little different, but the texture is ultimately the dense, chewy fruit leather type you'd expect. Overall enjoyable.

Apple Strawberry Watermelon - Definitely getting the apple flavor as a base with a strong note of watermelon, too, which is nice. The watermelon flavor is really good. Not getting a lot of strawberry, though!

Apple Wildberry - What is 'wildberry'? I mainly got notes of strawberry and grape in this one, which is funny since I didn't notice any strawberry in the one named after strawberry! But equally tasty, dense and sticky.

Apple Strawberry - This one I accidentally ate a week after expiry, but I didn't notice any ill effects. It was a little too sticky for my licking, but I do still like the little tubes shape. This tasted mostly just like apple and a little strawberry, as you'd hope, so no complaints there. 
 
Apple Mango - All the flavors sure do have apple! But  this one also sure had mango -- its taste really comes through (but not ONLY mango). It's fine, but not my favorite flavor of these. Still cute though. 6/10

Blue Raspberry - Aha! This one doesn't have apple in the name, but it's still the first ingredo. This might just be a rebranding of the "Apple Wildberry" one. It also might be Canadian (well I mean, it is, but maybe the other ones I had were US versions?). This had eldberberry in, which made me nervous, but all seems to be fine. The texture was different; the logs of the lumpy raft were larger and firmer, but still OK to eat. The taste was indeed blue raspberry, even though raspberry is low in the ingredients list. Pretty impressive. I liked it. 6/10
