Product review: Raw organic "Yoga Bar" from Everything Raw
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
(NaturalNews) As a natural health journalist, I've tried hundreds of different raw food products and food bars. No raw food bar has impressed me more than the Yoga Bar from EverythingRaw, a company founded by Paul Mamakos, a dedicated raw foodie (and an all-around cool guy, too). EverythingRaw has now merged with Essential Living Foods (http://www.essentiallivingfoods.com), by the way.
The Yoga Bar has just five simple ingredients:
• Organic Raw Dates
• Organic Raw Cashews
• Organic Raw Cacao Butter
• Organic Raw Pistachios
• Organic Raw Honey
Yet, despite its simplicity, this food bar is, in my personal opinion, the best-tasting food bar on the market, raw or otherwise. It beats Larabar hands down, in my view. I even like the taste of these bars better than Organic Food Bars (which I also love for a different reason, as they're nutritionally packed with goodness).
The Yoga Bar is so good that I gave it my Editor's Choice "Best Food Bar" award a while ago, and that award still stands. To date, I haven't tasted any bar that I like better. I like the Yoga Bar so much, in fact, that we decided to feature it in our new NaturalNews Store, which is currently stocking thousands of healthy raw foods and other health-related products. Check out the store here:

The Raw Food World
Those who are familiar with the raw foods industry will probably notice that the NaturalNews Store seems strangely familiar... that's because it's actually a mirror of Matt Monarch's "Raw Food World" store, which has now become one of the very best online retailers for raw foods, healthy foods and other health-related items.
In fact, you can buy Yoga Bars straight through www.TheRawFoodWorld.com too, if you'd like. Or get them from Paul Mamakos at www.EverythingRaw.com
Sales made through the NaturalNews Store help provide financial support for NaturalNews operations -- with exactly the same prices of products in The Raw Food World, too. (Which already has competitive pricing.) So if you want some Yoga Bars, and you'd like to support NaturalNews, please consider purchasing them through the NaturalNews Store at:

Why the Yoga Bars are so amazing...
When considering food bars, keep in mind that the Yoga Bar is not a superfood spirulina bar, or a microalgae bar, or a bar that's trying to pack in a bunch of vitamins and minerals. Rather, it's an absolutely delicious raw foods treat made solely from wholesome ingredients.
I eat it as a dessert. It's really that delicious... creamy, rich, sweet but not overpowering. It's a luscious "white chocolate" bar rich with healthy cocoa butter. Tasting this Yoga Bar forces you to suspend disbelief because it's hard to believe it's made from such simple ingredients.
In fact, I think I'd better stop writing about it now, because I'm sitting in Ecuador and I have no Yoga Bars here because I already ate them all! (But I'll bring more on my next trip, for sure...)

Enjoy your Yoga Bars! From the very first bite, you'll understand why they continue to earn my Editor's Choice award.
