Barre de Cacao et Reishi

The cacao flavor is rich without being overly sweet, and the reishi gives it a subtle earthy note that I actually like. I grabbed one before a long hike and it kept me going the whole way without any sugar crash.

The texture is perfect—chewy from the dates but not sticky, and the cacao taste comes through without being bitter. I've been grabbing one after my workouts and the protein hit keeps me full until dinner.

I was a bit worried the reishi would make it taste earthy or medicinal, but the dates and cacao totally mask it—just a rich, fudgy bite. The protein content is a nice bonus for a post-run snack.
