Need a snack fast?
Don’t stress — it’s allGoode
BY ROB QUINTILIANI

Digestives

There are innumerable arguments piled on both sides of the organic-versus-chemically-stimulated food debate. That can be a lot of noise when all you’re searching for is a snack that will give you energy and taste better than eating a spoonful of sand. Plenty of organic snack bars claim to offer just that, but their ingredients read like a list of materials for an experiment to determine the titration of acids.

Take heart. The Santa Barbara–based allGoode Organics has introduced an alternative to the jumble: Real Food Bars. The idea is as simple as the name. Real Food Bars combine a mixture of common ingredients — in bar form — that are as friendly to your mouth as they are to your stomach. They come in a variety of flavors, including Amazin’ Peanut Raisin, Banana Nut Nirvana, Cashew Almond Passion, Honey Nut Harvest, Nutty Chocolate Apricot, and Chocolate Peanut Pleasure. With more than 10 easily recognizable ingredients from small organic farms, allGoode bars will fill your belly so your mind can focus on more pressing issues.

Available at local Trader Joe’s, Bread & Circus, and Natural Frontier stores.
