Eat Well Be Well Whole Grain Cereal Bars

Eat Well Be Well Cereal BarsEat Well Be Well Cereal Bars are diabetic friendly, sugar free and made with whole grains. There are 2 varieties to choose from, Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip and Cinnamon Apple Crisp, which is the one that I bought. They could have called this bar just about any name they chose because you really can't taste any cinnamon or apple flavoring. I also found the taste to be slightly below average when compared to other cereal bars previously reviewed [check out the 'bar' category]. The Eat Well Be Well Cinnamon Apple Crisp bar wasn't very sweet, which is fine when there are other flavors to compensate for this. Unfortunately, the only other flavor is a sort of chemical-like taste, which I can only attribute to a taste I have experienced when there is too much artificial sweetener in the product.

One Eat Well Be Well Cinnamon Apple Crisp Bar is 110 calories with only 4 grams of total fat and 1.5 grams of saturated fat which are 7% of the recommended daily amount (RDA). There is no trans fat, 4 grams of protein and 16 grams of total carbohydrates which includes a whopping 9 grams of fiber which is 38% of the RDA and no sugars. There are no sugar alcohols but they do incorporate the artificial sweeteners sucralose (Splenda) and acesulfame K.

One box contains 5 cereal bars and was about $3.50 in stores and is $4.99 at Amazon.com.The fiber is the best thing this cereal bar has going for it. If I were diabetic (meaning I only had limited choices) then I would possibly buy this again, otherwise I would probably go with the Kashi Granola Bar [read the review] or Kelloggs All Bran Honey Oat Bars [read the review], both of which taste better and have more than 15% of the RDA for fiber - although that's still less than half the fiber of this bar.

Thanks for your reviews! I agree the Eat Well Be Well bars are kind of bland, but for diabetics or low-carbers who really need to avoid sugar alcohols, there's not much to choose from. EWBW also has a maltitol-free chocolate bar that's not bad, imho.
