These taste like little portions of cacao oatmeal, sweetened with banana. They are light and healthy, and I drizzled a few with melted nondairy chocolate to serve as dessert to friends. I was surprised everyone enjoyed them, as they are less sweet that they seem. They are super filling though, so it's a good way to satisfy your hunger, and the healthy filling fiber will keep you from over indulging.
