The new plastic wrappers are terrible. Completely impossible to open unless you have actual scissors on hand, which I don't know about the general population, but I myself don't typically carry a pair of scissors in my bag. They just stretch and will never open, and I get it's because Nature Valley wants to appear more eco-conscious because it's good for marketing (these actually can't be recycled unless you drive them to a special recycling collection location). If you really wanted to make a good product, try recycled paper or something compostable, not just more plastic that is markedly worse than your last packaging.

This is the classic Nature Valley flavor and it is good for a quick breakfast. 2 bars come in each package. They are a harder bar and very crispy and they crumble easily. I prefer other flavors of this bar, but have eaten this many times and still like the bars.

After all these years of disappointment when my mom would put these in my lunch box!!!! I found out that they taste great crushed up in your yogurt lol! I always though by themselves it was just too basic and bland for me almost made me feel like I constantly needed to drink milk or water to wash it down! Lol not anymore!

Mid-morning cuppa tea combo from heaven! Not too sweet or and the perfect consistency to dip in your cuppa or eat on its own. Great to keep in your office drawer or the bottom of your bag as an on the go treat. PLUS nut free so they’re lunchbox safe!

My go to grab and go are these granola bars. They are a bit sweeter than i prefer but they are satisfying and wholesome compared to other brands. I just wish it didnt make a mess... usually if im sitting at a table and eating it, ill attempt to eat it as a bar, but if im on the go, ill break it into small chunks in the bag and then just tip the bag into my mouth to eat it more cleanly.

The original granola bar!! This was the first granola bar i was introduced to and might I say it was good, REAL GOOD!! It’s not too sweet, just perfect, the only annoying thing is that it creates a big mess and as soon as you open it, you have small granola pieces or crumbs all over the place!

I love these. These are really great for on the go or a mid day snack when you are feeling hungry. The price on these is pretty fair. I love the crunch and the flavor, it’s not too over powering. The only down side to these is that the crumbs do get everywhere.

I mean this is a classic, I know some people complain about the crunchiness and crumbs but I honestly love the texture! I really like that these are just sweet enough and also like throwing these on top of yogurt and berries for a quick snack or breakfast!

The product itself is fine, it's the nature of the packaging that is wrong. This company pays people to study packaging and make decisions about it, yet they continue to use this stretchy plastic to wrap the product. The inevitable result is that the very fragile contents are destroyed while trying to open the package.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nature Valley crunchy granola bars are so good. They can be eaten anytime of the day. For breakfast I break a bar up and put it on my yogurt. For a mid day snack it is delicious with some peanut butter on top. Healthy and satisfying for your body.
