A High Fiber Bar
IntoFit | June 17th, 2009 | Foods and Products | 5 Comments »
Let me preface this post by saying that I always think real food (likea cheese string or an apple) is a better choice then reaching for a bar. But there are times when these things are not available and a bar is the next best option. There is so much crap out there that when I find bars I really like- I want to share them.I have been so excited to post about Gnu bars.
- I have no idea how to pronounce the name, but I just love them! For my readers outside of the States, I’m sorry but they are only available in the U.S at the moment. They are in the works to bring them to Canada, but no date has been set.
Why do I love this bar? It’s all natural, it tastes delicious and it’s filled with fiber! In fact it has almost 50 % of your daily fiber in one bar. You won’t find high fructose corn syrup in these bars, they are sweetened with fruit juices and dried fruits. These are great to grab as a breakfast on the go or to keep in the car in case hunger hits.
- They are also great to help with a sweet tooth. I actually will turn to the Cinnamon Raisin Gnu Bar when I am craving a cinnamon bun. As most of you know, cinnamon buns are my weakness!
- My favorites are the The Banana Walnut, Chocolate Brownie and Cinnamon Raisin.
The bars range from 120 – 140 calories with around 3 or 4 grams of fat and 13 grams of fiber!

I would hardly classify cheese strings as real food — better to stick with the apple.
Hi Amanda, I hope you don't mind but instead of writing you back here, I wanted to address your comment in a post. I'm just preparing one for tomorrows blog. Please check back in to read why I think a cheese string is a great snack.
I'm always of fan of using my time wisely. I just found Gnu bars on the net looking for a portable replacement for my 1/2 cup of bran cereal and was pleased to see these bars contain the same 12% of daily fiber as my beloved bowl of bran! I can't wait to find these in the stores in Canada too!
New to your blog but I hope to read more of it soon!
I'll let you know as soon as I hear about their arrival!
