Glenny's Organic 100 Calorie Brownies
By: | Feb 3, 2009
I love brownies, but with the average brownie weighing in at about 250 calories and lots of fat (and little else) for a 2 inch square, it's often not the best choice of dessert. That's where Glenny's 75% Organic Brownies will come in handy.
Glenny's makes a lot of low-fat, low-calorie, and high-fiber snacks like soy crisps, lower-calorie marshmallow treats, and many varieties of snack bar. The brownies are available in three flavors - chocolate, peanut butter (with chocolate), and blondie. My favorite is the peanut butter; the chocolate has a strange flavor that I can't seem to place (mineral, perhaps?), and the blondie was just plain bad! The peanut butter flavor, on the other hand, is quite enjoyable (although it still has a hint of the strange flavor that overpowers the chocolate). The brownie weights in at a pretty hefty 41 grams and is studded with peanut butter chips. It does look a little bit scary (it's a really dark, almost burnt-looking brown), but that shouldn't stop you from trying it! The chocolate flavor in the peanut butter bar is better than that in the regular chocolate flavor, but again it does take a bit of getting used to.
Glenny's Brownies come pre-portioned into a 41 gram, 100 calorie bar (no more eating an entire pan of brownies), which provides only 4 grams of total fat (6% of the daily value) including 1 gram of saturated fat (2.5% of the daily value), 100 mg of sodium (4% of the daily value), 5 grams of protein, and 13 grams of carbohydrates which includes 11 grams of sugar and a whopping 7 grams of fiber (20% of the daily value).
For a satisfying, chocolaty treat, I'll take this brownie over a monster calorie bomb any day. These brownies are available at Glenny's website, $ 18.28 for an order of 12.

I've seen these at my local grocery store and have been wondering if they are worth buying. Thanks for the review!
I actually think that the blondie is the best of the three flavors.
I just bought one of these and glad I read your review prior to opening it =) Thanks
I still think Vitabrownies are the best "bang for the buck". Erin's Breakfast Cookies also have brownies, but they are rather small...but good!
Oh my gosh, I had one of these about a year ago (found it randomly at CVS/Walgreens), but have not seen one since. Delish!
I wonder if they changed them, because the last time i tried them it was only about 6 or 7 grams of fiber per brownie. They also used to make a blueberry one but i dont think they still do. The PB ones are pretty good, but vitamuffins are def better (and bigger!) These PB ones didnt have enough of a PB taste IMO.
