Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I stumbled across these in the grocery store today, after having purchased the 25% less sugar chocolate chip version. Surely there must be a tasty oatmeal raisin equivalent, my stomach wondered. Sure enough there is! Just 90 calories, 10% less than the chocolate chip version?! Sounds promising I thought. No high fructose corn syrup, 0 g trans fats, sign me up! Upon closer inspection, these granola bars aren't quite as healthy as they're advertised; they still contain corn syrup, though not "high fructose" corn syrup, as well as a bunch of preservatives, oligofructose, polydextrose, and various hydrogenated oils. Minus 1 star.
Taste wise, they're terrible compared to their low fat chocolate chip brethren. There's nary a raisin to be found, and somehow, the oatmeal to barley/rice ratio is very low on these compared to the chocolate chip version. If I wanted a barley/rice bar, I wouldn't have bought a product that said "granola" on the front. Additionally, the bar is very dry; I think the lack of a nice fat (chocolate chips) definitely leaves something to be desired.
Don't buy the 90 calorie oatmeal raisin bars. Buy the lowfat 100 cal chocolate chip ones if you truly must have "lowfat", but I'd recommend just getting the full-fat, tastier regular Quaker bars. It's really only just a 40 calorie difference, and you can teach yourself some better self-discipline.
