Special K Strawberry Bar
By: | Aug 26, 2006
Kellogg's appears to have a genius marketing strategy by coming out with a diet involving it's Special K Cereal. Not only have they involved cereal, but they are now making snacks to go along with it. The Special K Bar is one of the two snacks launched (so far) by Kelloggs and Special K.The other is the Special K Snack Bites.
I tried the Strawberry Bar, and thoroughly enjoyed it. The bar looks and tastes like most other cereal /breakfast bars, thick, crispy, has icing on the top and has a fruity taste but is not very sweet, which is a plus in my book.
When I saw the icing on top, I thought to myself that this probably has a lot of sugar, but I was pleasantly surprised to find out that each 23 gram Special K Strawberry Bar provides 90 calories, 1.5 grams of total fat, 1 gram of saturated fat, 1 gram of protein and 18 grams total carbohydrate which includes 9 grams of sugar and 1 gram of fiber. There is also 10% of a few vitamins in there as well.
I found it a bit amusing that the ingredients for the strawberry bar included "strawberry flavored fruit pieces" and the fruit pieces were actually cranberry. Nevertheless, I really liked these bars, and for about $3.00 a box (with 6 bars), I think I will be buying this again.

WestSoy? - Soy Slender, Chocolate flavored - soymilk sweetened with Splenda? No Calorie Sweetener is THE BEST soy milk in the market. The taste is great and doesn't leave an after taste like other soy or low fat milks. Also is only 70 calories/cup.
Nah.... Kellogg's is bad... all their foods are filled with High Fructose Corn Syrup... They should ban this substance from the face of the Earth, for our own good.
also contains small amounts of hydrogenated oil, although not enough to count as trans fat.
I recently tried the chocolate Special K bars-- wow! They're sweet with just a bit of chocolate icing on top and really satisfy! I'll have to check out the strawberry ones soon!
I love this bar! I just tried the Vanilla Crisp flavor and its good! My favorite flavor is the Strawberry one!
