Snack Bars

Hi

I'm looking for good nutritious snack bars to use at office. I found
many claiming to be healthy at Krogers - but I find things like High
Fructose Corn Syrup (or something similar) in almost all these bars (
From the little bit I know - the HFCSyrup is a very bad thing
(correct?))
Even the Quakers Oatmeal to Go seems to be a candy bar really. Any
suggestions on a good snack bar will be appreciated.

thanks

Why snack bars? Why not something more wholesome, like a piece of fruit or
vegetable?

I like larabars, myself. I keep them in the car as a handy, reasonably
healthy snack that's shelf stable in case I end up being out later than
I expected. They're essentially dried fruit and nuts, and around 200
calories each.

It's not something I'd want to eat every day, but it's a better option
than what I tend to eat when I'm hungry and didn't plan ahead. Ok, and
once in awhile I budget one for dessert - they're awfully tasty.

I'm a fan of Quaker Oats Granola Bars. The ones I get are anywhere from
110 - 120 calories.

Larabar, Think Organic, Clif Nectar, Clif Mojo, Clif Bars.

The first three are only fruit and nuts. The last two are still plenty
decent, although regular Clif Bars are generally my last choice.

Hi,

You can make your own snack bars without the additives and preservatives and
all that crap. I haven't done it myself, but it looks pretty easy. I'm sure
that you can find a bunch of recipies online. Here is one I saw not too long
ago: http://bodybuilding.about.com/od/hea...proteinbar.htm

Many socalled 'nutrition bars' are just candybars in disguise and you
might as well be eating a Snickers. I've been hooked on the Kashi TLC
line of bars - being a Costco shopper, I get a box of 25 with three
varieties in them for under $10.

I'm sure if he wanted something more wholesome, he wouldn't have asked
for advice about snack bars.

I like the All Bran myself. Their biggest benefit imo is the 5g of fiber
which helps me to feel full longer.
