Just when we thought that all possible granola bar options had been exhausted, Kind came out with their new Strong bar. Bam.

But this isn’t just any random bar to add to the already overflowing supermarket shelves of zillions of bars. This one is different, it’s savory. You heard me, savory.

There are five new flavors: Hickory Smoked, Honey Smoked BBQ, Roasted Jalapeño, Thai Sweet Chili, and Honey Mustard. They all have bold, natural flavors and each contains a whole 10 grams of protein. They’re perfect for satiating hunger pangs.

I personally tried the Honey Smoked BBQ flavor and I’m not going to lie, the first bite was… uhhh interesting, to say the least. But that’s because we’re so used to eating sugary granola bars. Who said granola bars had to be sweet? After all, this could be next big thing. Anyways, I continued eating the bar, and with each new bite, I liked it a bit more. By the end I was ready to have a second one.

So don’t hold back, try one. You will probably be pleasantly surprised.
