Odwalla Banana Nut Bar - U dairy

The Banana Nut Bar from Odwalla is a real treat. It's both tasty and reasonably nutritious. It is perfect for mid day snack or take it with you anywhere you'll need a snack.

Despite being labelled as Kosher (Circle U) dairy, a read of the ingredients list showed no dairy items, so it is appropriate for vegans or people suffering from Lactose intolerance. One must assume that they must manufacture them on the same equipment as other items containing dairy. So avoid eating it after a meat meal.












As referenced on their website, it really does taste like home-made banana bread. At 220 calories and 5 grams of fat per bar, its safe to say its a healthier alternative. The bar also contains reasonable amounts of fibre, protein and vitamins A, C and E plus iron, calcium and beta Carotene.

While you should be able to find them many kosher grocery stores or best bet is to look for them at your local health food store, or high-end grocery store.



This should be a must for the snack cupboard and we give it an overall score is a 4.5 out 5
