South Beach Diet High Protein Cereal Bars: Cranberry Almond

By: Tanya Patrice | Jul 15, 2005

South Beach Diet Cereal Bars I'll just get right to the point here, the South Beach Cranberry Almond Bar tastes great and deserves 5 stars all around. It's crispy and the cranberries provide a nice contrast, not your typical protein bar. There was obviously lots of cranberry pieces throughout the bar, but not so obvious were the almond chunks, probably because they are the same color as the bar itself.

Nutritionally this bar will give you 140 calories, so treat it like a big part of breakfast, or as a snack by itself. You also get 5 grams of fat with 2 grams from saturated fat (10% of your daily requirement), no trans fat, only 135 mg sodium (about 5% of the daily value), 115 mg potassium, 3 grams of dietary fiber (12% of the RDA), 7 grams of sugar along with 3 g sugar alcohol and 10 grams of protein. There is also 10 - 20% of 10 vitamins and minerals.

The nutrition really isn't that bad, but there are some other bars with less fat and less calories around, like the Pria Power bar which has half as much protein, but is 110 calories and has more vitamins and minerals [read the review]. But, if you are looking for a high protein bar, then the South Beach is one of the lower calorie ones.

One box contains 5 bars and can cost between about $3.50 and is totally worth it. I would definitely buy this again.

This is not the South Beach Fooods website. Tanya (who heads this blog) doesn't have any connection with the company. Try the kraft website or the real south beach living site... It's interesting how many people think that this website is the actual product's website.

Thanks for pointing that out Alison. Sorry Sharon - wish I could send you the product but you'll have to contact Kraft as Alison said.
