Fiber One Oats & Strawberries with Almonds Bar
By: | Feb 11, 2009
Calling all chewy foods fanatics out there, Fiber One Oats & Strawberries with Almonds Bar was made especially for you. Thanks to the gooey combining agent and plump fruit pieces, the texture of this bar is easily described as ... (you guessed it), Chewy,
Occasionally, you will also encounter a bundle of crisp rice within that evokes memories of Rice Krispie Treats, and thin slivers of almonds that add a subtle crunch. I love that there is a small drizzle of chocolate gracing the top of the chewy mound, but I probably would not notice if it was missing (and it would most likely bring down the fat count a bit). Furthermore, the bar has a delicately sweet, strawberry taste that made me go mmm.
Each Fiber One Oats & Strawberries with Almonds Bar provides 140 calories in the substantial 40 gram bar, an extra high fiber count (35% of the RDA), relatively low sugar count (9 grams) considering the enjoyable sweetness contained in each bite, pretty low in sodium (only 90 mg or 4% of the RDA), rather low in fat (3 grams of fat including 0.5 grams of saturated fat...5% and 4% of the RDA) and 2 grams of protein.
The ingredient list contains chicory root extract, rolled oats, natural strawberry flavored fruit pieces, crisp rice, high maltose corn syrup, barley flakes, almond pieces, honey and a few scientific names that you don't hear every day, but for the most part it's short and (not too) sweet.
Not a big strawberry fan? Try Fiber One Oats and Chocolate Bar, which is basically the Siamese twin of this delicious strawberry flavor (in other words, it's really good). A box with 5 Fiber One Oats & Strawberries with Almonds Bars cost me $2.50, and it was well worth it.

The Fiber One bars are good.I haven't tried this flavor ,but I liked the others that I've tried.If you like chewier soft bars I would give the Kellogg's Fiber Plus bars a try.I recently had some and really liked them.
I've tried all of these, including the new mocha ones, and I love them all. The strawberry ones might be my favorite! I really like the addition of the crunchy almonds. I'm a huge fan!
I wish they would make these slightly more natural. I get a little weirded out my the ingredients.
I love the new look of the site!
Love the apple ones but don't like the chocolate (too coconutty - even though it's not an ingredient - can't explain it) nor the caramel (too sweet). Like the peanut butter but they are 3 WW points while the others are just 2.
did anyone suffer from the infamous side effects of malitol? I feel like death after eating that fake sugar, and have been afraid to buy these...
Are the Fiber One Oats and Peanut Butter bars on the safe list or peanut butter recall list?
Kim,the Fiber One Oats and Peanut Butter bars are not mentioned in any recall information. So I would assume they're safe.
I've tried all the types of these and generally find them to be prett good. However, if I eat a couple of them in a day I am left not feeling so good :x
