Kardea Banana Nut Bar 1.34oz 15bars - Heart Healthy, High Fiber, Lower Glycemic, Delicious Review

Kardea Banana Nut Bar 1.34oz 15bars - Heart Healthy, High Fiber, Lower Glycemic, Delicious

I recently tried the Kardea Variety Pak of Gourmet Nutrition Bars, looking for a healthier alternative to my boring Kashi bars. I was pleasantly surprised how much I liked these, especially after opening the first bar and seeing a taffy-like texture. The proof was in the eating, though. All four flavors had good taste, even the Chai Spice, which I expected to taste lousy. I prefer the Banana Nut, and the Cranberry Almond was a close second. The consistency was chewy, but the bar left me with less of a food craving than the Kashi bars. The high fiber and nutritional elements put it over the top for me. Highly recommended!

Glucerna Snack Bar for People with Diabetes, 36 Bar Variety Pack Review

Glucerna Snack Bar for People with Diabetes, 36 Bar Variety Pack

Seriously. It's like eating a real candy bar. It is so rich and satisfying that I can sometimes get away with just half a bar as a snack. I say sometimes, because having half a bar this tasty just sitting there is usually too much temptation. The mini bars are better for that.
Here's a little "trick" that will make each bar last longer and leave you feeling fuller. Drink at least 8 oz of water, hot water works better, and then have your bar or half a bar. Repeat in 1-2 hours.
There is no chalky or artificial taste and no aftertaste - none. These are even better than the regular power bars that are not low sugar or artificially sweetened.
I don't know how they are for moderating blood sugar levels as they claim, but I felt more satisfied and less hungry for longer than with other bars, including real candy bars.
Here's the nutritional breakdown of the ones I've tried so far. Sod-sodium, Pot=potassium
. . Oz . Cal/Fat . . Sod . . . Pot . . . . Flavor
. 0.70 . 060/25 . 060mg . 050mg . Chocolate peanut mini bar
. 2.04 . 210/50 . 085mg . 210mg . Chocolate chunk bar
. 1/41 . 150/35 . 150mg . 080mg . Chocolate caramel snack bar
My preferences are in order:
Chocolate Chunk: A slightly crunchy texture that's a little like a Rice Crispies treat. I think the crunchiness comes from something they call "soy protein nuggets. This is my favorite. Just like a really good candy bar.
Chocolate Peanut: Very nice combination of chocolate and peanut, chewy and crunchy. This is a close second.
Chocolate Caramel: A crunchy texture that is much more like a Rice Crispies treat. This one has "crisp soy nuggets". It has a strong caramel flavor, which is not my favorite, but I bet caramel lovers will like it.
Variety Pack: Only two flavors: Chocolate Peanut and Chocolate Caramel. Not much variety and all chocolate. It would have been nice to have gotten a box of blueberry, oatmeal raisin, and/or cinnamon bun

If you love caramel and need something sweet these bars work out perfectly. I use them in place of a candy bar. They are only 150 calories but they taste like more. I use them to diet with even though they are for people with diabetes. They fill you up and don't give you the sugar high. I eat one and I'm not hungry again for a few hours. My husband likes them too! I have tried many low glycemic bars and these have been the best tasting. They satisfy the sweet cravings.

Fiber One Chewy Bars, Oats & Peanut Butter, 5-Count Boxes (Pack of 12) Review

I have tried most of the flavors Except for the new MOCHA and these are great tasting (fiber) Bars. Every once in a while you will get one that is hard as a rock, I guess the package wasn't sealed all the way.
The last thing I will say is that these are $2.59 at Target and will usually have them on sale for less. So as far as amazon is concerned this is not a fantastic deal.
