Dana Angelo White, a blogger over at Healthy Eats, wrote about her quest to find the most nutritious cereal bars recently. Here were her top picks:
*Kashi TLC Baked Apple Spice Cereal Bar: 100 calories, 3 grams fiber
*Health Valley Organic Blueberry Cobbler Bar: 140 calories, 1 gram fiber
*Trader Joe's "This Fig Walks into a Bar" Cereal Bar: 120 calories, 0.5 gram fiber
*Barbara's Fruit & Yogurt Bar: Cherry Apple: 150 calories, 1 gram fiber
*Nature's Choice Cereal Bar: Triple Berry: 150 calories, 3 grams fiber
The rules of choosing healthy cereal bars, she adds: Do look for whole grains for nutrients and fiber and real fruit. Don't buy a box of bars that are sweetened with high-fructose corn syrup or corn syrup, and beware of saturated fat from palm oil.
