I've tried a lot of snack bars in my day. Everything ranging from plain granola bars to Power Bars to Larabars. Im always curious to see how they taste and I think I've become a bit of a connoisseur. Anyway, I have finally fallen in love with one type of bar in particular and I don't think I will ever go back to any of the others. Since this bar is so great I thought I'd share it with my lovely readers.
It's called a KIND Bar and it's delicious. All of the various KINDs are scrumptious and healthy (so long as you don't chain eat them or anything - I'll admit sometimes I think I could). These bars are all natural, gluten free, wheat free and the majority of them are dairy free snack bars. They contain no trans fats, are a rich source of fiber, low in sodium and most of them have a low Glycemic Index (GI). But if you have an allergy to nuts you should probably stay far, far away from them.
They come in many flavors such as Fruit & Nut Delight, Nut Delight, Almond & Apricot, Fruits & Nuts in Yogurt, Sesame & Peanuts with Chocolate (my personal favorite), Banana & Oatbran and Walnut & Date (my number two).
I discovered these wonderful treats when I was living gluten free and I've been hooked ever since. You can find them at stores like Wild Oats and Whole Foods but they are much cheaper to buy in bulk (they are usually cheaper here) so I buy them and keep them as part of my food storage. They are really handy to stash in your car or purse. I often take them on hikes or on airplane flights.
(KIND and Amazon should be paying me for this, don't you think?)

These sound good--and I'm always looking for a healthy snack that's good for you--but actually TASTES GOOD too. . . so thanks for the tip!
These are my new favorite bars. I have only found them at Trader Joes. They're so good... low sugar, really high fiber, some protein, about 120 calories..... I wish I could find them in a big box.

I have never tried these, but I will pick some up next time I hit Trader Joe's.
My favorite healthy granola bar is the Kashi Chewy Trail Mix bar. Muy bien.
Mr X and I looked at the website you suggested, Adrianne, and those Gnu bars have some serious fiber! Maybe that's what's keeping Stu regular and not the water vs. milk bit.
Nicole, I don't know if the KIND bars are at Trader Joe's but I know they are at Wild Oats/Whole Foods.
stu doesn't eat the bars though! he's not into that kind of stuff.
i would like mr. x. to try the gnu bars and tell me how he does. since he has to be regular and is known for plugging up toilets.
Hmmm....Maybe I'll have Mr X give those bars a try.
Then I could do a whole post about the state of his bowels and our water presser/pipes. I'm sure Mr X would be less than thrilled.
I'll pick some up for him. :)
