Nature Valley Chewy Trail Mix Bars

Nature Valley Chewy Trail Mix BarsNature Valley Chewy Trail Mix Bars tastes great - well I should say the Fruit and Nut variety that I tried. It was a wonderful combination of crunchy oats and nuts perfectly balanced with the raisins which I experienced in just about every bite. If I was forced to make one critique, it would be that the folks at Nature Valley tend to use a lot of sugary ingredients: the 2nd ingredient is high 'maltose' corn syrup, plus they also list sugar, high fructose corn syrup and fructose in their ingredients list. This is the same complaint I had with their Healthy Heart Honey Nut Granola Bar [read the review].

One bar (35 grams) has 140 calories, 4 grams of total fat (6% of the recommended daily amount), 0.5 grams of saturated fat, low sodium, 3 grams of protein and 25 grams of total carbohydrates, which includes 1 gram of fiber and 13 grams of sugars.

A box with 6 bars was $3.49 and I would buy it again. BUT I must say that as much as I liked the Chewy Trail Mix bar, I would probably choose Gnu bars over this because Gnu bars weigh 5 grams more and have 10 less calories, less fat, less sugars, more protein and way more fiber [read the Gnu review].

The Apple Cinnamon flavor of this is amazing. I agree, they have a bit too much sugar, but being stuck with a 711 to offer a snack, I was beyond happy to find these guys!

That's the problem with most of these bars, but it's better than trail mix! Try the Fiber One Oats and Chocolate bar. Tastes like a candy bar but has a lot more fiber, 4 grams of fat, and a little less sugar than the bar you reviewed. Yum!
