Are these soft or hard ?
(I try to avoid hard bars. My teeth aren't in the best state.)
…My teeth aren't in the best state
Then move to South Australia - it's great here!
Until the power goes out. Wait, what? Teeth you say?
I doubt that they have evolved to have teeth yet in SA, certainly unable to operate an electric toothbrush.
They're fairly soft. Nice and chewy 😊
Thanks.
If I order a pack with my free sample, can I get free shipping? :)
Was just wondering that as well. :)
And Yerba Mate…who knew?
Yerba mate is a traditional South American drink that's gaining worldwide popularity.
It's said to have the strength of coffee, the health benefits of tea, and the joy of chocolate.
Here are the top 8 health benefits of yerba mate.

Yerba mate is carcinogenic.
'Maybe'
https://www.drweil.com/health-wellness/body-mind-spirit/canc…
There is some evidence from South America connecting yerba maté use to cancers of the mouth, esophagus, prostate, bladder and lungs among people who drink it habitually. The few studies that have found links between cancer and yerba maté show the highest risk is among users who also smoke and are heavy drinkers of alcohol. However, at least one study found that the risk of cancers of the mouth, pharynx, larynx and esophagus was greater in people who drink yerba maté regularly but do not smoke or consume alcohol. Clearly, more investigation is needed. I’ve seen no research suggesting that drinking the tea occasionally is in any way dangerous.
The cancer risk, if it exists, may be due to the fact that maté contains polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), compounds that are known to be carcinogenic. One study found very high concentrations of these in yerba maté leaves and in both hot and cold infusions of them. (Tobacco smoke and grilled meat also contain PAHs.)
If you enjoy maté, I see no risk in drinking it in moderation. But bear in mind that it contains xanthines, a class of chemical compounds that includes caffeine, as well as theophylline and theobromine, the stimulants in tea and chocolate. Too much can trigger the same jitteriness and other problems associated with excessive intake of caffeine.

OK just for you ;) write to me via website and just remind abut this, then we can work it out. (The free samples are out of stock now, but you can still get it).
Ordered mine about a week ago, still waiting because of Christmas delaying deliveries and what not, but excited to try them. If they're good I'll order a bunch because I'm too lazy to eat greens
sorry about the wait… please let us know if you don't get it soon!
I can't figure out how to contact them.
Took me a bit to work it out too. Click the envelope above the Instagram logo at the top of the page

Received mine in the mail a few minutes ago, some moisture seepage occurred from the glad from and onto the envelope, but it didn't affect the taste thankfully.
Surprised as to how good these tasted. Definitely worth $3 imo, some might disagree.
thanks!
How similar are these kale bars to the Commonground bakery ones sold at markets in sydney?
They are the same exact bars!
