Gnu Foods - Flavor and Fiber Bars

I'm really behind on some reviews I want to do so you might be seeing these more often...

I received a box of flavor and fiber bars from Gnu Foods to try out. I tried 5 different flavors: Chocolate Brownie, Peanut Butter, Banana Walnut, Orange Cranberry and Cinnamon Raisin. These bars pack a lot of punch in the fiber department! One bar provides almost 50% of the daily value of fiber!! We're talking 12 g of fiber in one bar!! I really liked two things about these bars in addition to the high fiber. 1) you get 6 whole grains and 2) they are low in calories (around 130 per bar). As for the taste, some were better than others. I liked the chocolate brownie and cinnamon raisin but thought the others were just ok. Considering how much I love peanut butter, I was excited to have a peanut butter bar at only 140 calories. But I was a little disappointed. They are chewy and have a nice texture but not bursting with any great flavor. I will say they are a filling little snack, though. One bar as my afternoon snack did hold me over...must be all that fiber!! I would recommend checking out their site if you haven't already. They also just introduced two new flavors that aren't yet available in stores: Espresso Chip and Lemon Ginger.

I think the packaging is really cute!

Now, for the biscuit rating...I LOVED the fiber in these bars and I would recommend them in a heart beat for someone who is lacking fiber in their diet and looking for an easy way to get some. However, I'm not sure if I would buy these as my "treat" for an afternoon snack. So, with that being said, I'm giving the Gnu bars 5 biscuits.
