The High
Kashi Chewy Granola Bars – Dark Mocha Almond
These granola bars are not cheap. You’ll pay close to $5 at most grocery stores for a box of six bars. What they are, however, is delicious. You can actually taste the dark chocolate pieces and crunchy almonds.
Moreover, they’re relatively low in sugar, and very high in fibre, providing 15% of daily requirements. Each bar contains about 130 calories, making them a very reasonable snack option for kids and adults alike.
The Low
Nature Valley Oats and Dark Chocolate Granola Bars
I found these in the grocery store for just over $3 for a box of six. A quick look at the nutritional information shows these have twice the sugar and half the fibre of the Kashi brand. Not horrible if the taste made up for that, but these bars tasted stale and just bleah. Throw in the fact that each bar is 190 calories, and this one’s a no-brainer.
Go for the high, and fit some Kashi Chewy Granola Bars into your lunch bag.
