Gnu Foods Natural Flavor and Fiber Bars
One Gnu Bar gives you 50% of the recommended daily amount of fiber (12 grams). AND (as if that weren't enough), they use all natural ingredients, so there is no high fructose corn syrup, no refined sugars (no added sugars at all in a few of the bars), no preservatives, no artificial flavorings - and the list goes on! One bar (40 grams) has 130 calories, 3 grams of fat which is 5% of the daily value, no saturated or trans fat, 4 grams of protein and 31 grams of total carbohydrate which includes 12 grams of fiber and only 8 grams of sugar. Consider that a lot of the calories are because of the high fiber content and I am content with munching on Gnu bars at work - which I have been doing all this week. There is an online store at the Gnu Foods website [here] where you can get your Gnu fix for $1.99 per bar, or buy it by the pack (5 or 16) - which makes them cheaper. I absolutely love these and will be buying them again. Also check out another review at Really Natural [link] for another opinion. Comments

Sammi said: Tried a box of the Choco Brownie based on this review - excellent! Will be ordering more plus the Cinna Raisin. The Organic Fiber Bars are too high in calories, and the Clif bars too low in fiber. The Gnu bars can't be beat.

Joyce said: These are absolutely delicious. Every time I go to the checkout counter the cashier always makes a comment as well about how good they taste. The only bad thing is that they're hard to find and kind of expensive :(

Jess said: I usually never write comments for products, but I've had my fair share of bars and these are absolutely one of the best bars out there taste wise with all natural ingredients. The amount of fiber is superior to other bars and keeps you satisfied. They are worth the price and don't leave any funky after-tastes in your mouth like other options. Cinnamon raisin is by far my favorite(I just had one...) |

I haven't tried these yet, but I've read nothing but good reviews about Gnu bars. Another good choice for a nutrition/fiber bar is the Organic Fiber Bar (read about it at renewlife.com)
