Kashi GoLean Crunchy Protein and Fiber Bar
By: Tanya Taylor, PhD | Feb 16, 2007
The bars actually taste more like real peanuts rather than peanut butter, and since I don't like peanut butter, that was a good thing. They are sweet and crunchy - maybe a little too sweet. The bar weighs 50 grams which is the perfect size for snacking. I did have a bit of a candy bar /peanut brittle 'vibe', but this has less calories, less sugar and less fat than any candy bar this size would. One bar is 50 grams and has 180 calories, 5 grams of total fat and 2 grams of saturated fat which are 10% of the recommended daily amount (RDA), no trans fat or cholesterol, 10% of the RDA for sodium, 9 grams of protein and 30 grams of total carbohydrates which includes 13 grams of sugar and 24% of the RDA for fiber (6 grams). The bar was $0.99, which is a very good price for bars this size. I have only seen the 28 gram bas for under $1.00. The high fiber also makes this bar attractive. Other high fiber bars include the Gnu Foods Bar with 50% [read the review], Fiber One has 35% [read the review], and Kelloggs All Bran has 20% [read the review]. Taste:

These are hands down my bet for the best bars... the Kashi chocolate almond bars tied, for those who really like their chocolate. I notice that while they may not be quite as fortified as some other bars, they're filling and un-gooey/un-chalky... I feel I'm eating something that actually qualifies as real, and yummy, food!
