Pop Culture Probiotics Chocolate Chip Granola, 15 Bars, Net Wt. 15 oz., Boxes (Pack of 2) Review

Pop Culture Probiotics Chocolate Chip Granola, 15 Bars, Net Wt. 15 oz., Boxes (Pack of 2)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
These taste awful. I don't know why they call them granola - that implies crunchy to me. These are soggy, like damp puffed rice. The picture is totally misleading; there are almost no chocolate chips. I can see about two imbedded in the middle of the bar. There is definitely not the large amount shown in the picture. So they're tasteless, soggy, and not chocolately. Bleh! I stupidly ordered these before researching the probiotic - it's not even one of the type nutritionists say you need. So I don't understand these bars at all. I'm going to return them if the shipping isn't too high.
UPDATE: I wrote to the company to ask how to return these and they sent me replacements which had far more chocolate chips and were less soggy (although still not crunchy - these really should just not be called granola bars). Very good customer service, and they taste a lot better with more chocolate. Raising to three stars.

Kashi TLC Crunchy Granola Bar, Honey Toasted 7 Grain, 8.4-Ounce Box (Pack of 12) Review

Crunchy is the key word here.
I purchased these snack bars because they don't contain the usual bugaboos: high-fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated oils, artificial sweeteners, etc. However, they're mighty hard to chew. And that's *probably* a good thing.
I'm a hardcore fan of Quaker Oats granola bars, because they're a quick snack and they're heavy-laden with sugar, but they also have the HFCS (bad, bad) and hydrogenated oils (bad, bad, BAD). However, they are easy to chew (probably because of the nice, soft plastics they contain). I am striving to slowly back away from the QO granola bars because of their unhealthy and lengthy ingredient list.
The Kashi brand snacks are agreeable to the palate and they do have enough sugar for my personal tastes, but I have a couple crowns and I wonder if my over-priced prosthetic teeth can survive this healthy eating experience.
That being said, these are the snacks of choice for long car trips. For one, I'll never pig out on them and two, they're good for the tummy. They provide a little energy boost and they're high octane fuel for this four-layer bio-suit we call a human body.
I'm working my way through the different flavors. My favorites are the pumpkin spice and peanut butter, yet honestly, I can't discern an enormous difference between these three (pumpkin, PB and honey toasted).

Kashi TLC honey toasted seven grain crunchy granola bar has the tasty perfection of baked whole grains with wildflower honey that adds a touch of natural sweetness. Treat yourself to Tasty Little Crunchies (TLC) granola bars. It is made with Kashi's unique combination of seven whole grains and sesame, which is baked with the wholesome goodness of roasted nuts, whole seeds, and warm spices. In addition, with four grams of fiber and seven grams of protein this crunchy granola bar is as nourishing as it is tasty. It is sold in a pack of twelve 8.4-ounce bars.

About KashiKashi began with a healthy epiphany. Back in 1984, they discovered the goodness of whole grain nutrition and created the unique blend of seven whole grains and sesame that has a supreme nutritional profile--a vegetarian source of protein and complex carbohydrates that is hearty, satisfying, and energizing.

More that twenty-five years later, they are still passionate about making the world a healthier place. The seven whole grains and sesame blend is more than the cornerstone of their product line--it is their heritage, their story, and their promise to provide you with foods that are real, satisfying, and sustaining. Kashi is truly on a seven whole grains mission.

Quaker Simple Harvest All Natural Multigrain Chewy Granola Bar, Dark Chocolate Chunk flavor (3-Box Value-Pack) Review

Average Reviews:

These taste great! Sweet but not too sweet. There's enough dark chocolate that you can taste it and it's got good flavor. Nicely chewy. A perfect healthy dessert or snack.
Most granola bars have corn syrup or milk (which I avoid), or way too much sugar, or mystery ingredients that sound like petroleum products. Every week or so I decide I must have been mistaken, these can't be healthy, so I read the ingredients again. :)
I found these at my local Target. I wish Amazon carried them. They're quite addicting!

The taste is excellent, the product is superb (especially for Diabetics) and there are no artificial flavors.
Best to buy this at Sams Club for $10 or at Wal-mart for $2.87 a box. It is very expensive here.

Cascadian Farm Chewy Granola Bars, Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip, 6.24-Ounce (Pack of 4) Review

Cascadian Farm Chewy Granola Bars, Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip, 6.24-Ounce (Pack of 4)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My beau bought these bars for me because I often find larger adult-size bars to be too big. These are perfect-sized!
The ingredients are pretty good, being mostly organic, but it is still pretty much a "junk food" snack item, which I think are ok in moderation (IMHO). Each bar (in my box, as it may change) is listed at 80 calories and 2.5g fat. It also says "Carbohydrate Choices: 1", but not quite sure what that means. See my uploaded images for full ingredients list and nutrition info, current as of today.
They are really sticky-chewy and can be somewhat hard (they're not crunchy-hard, they're chewy-hard, like a bagel at the end of the day). This depends on freshness, as well. The ones I ate first were softer. A month later, the ones left were harder. I have TMJ issues and I appreciate that since they are smaller, there's less chewing. Also, the "hardness" makes them last longer, so you only wanna eat one.
The flavor is really good. For me, just the right amount of sweet and a good mix of peanut butter and chocolate. A great little snack!I rely on reviews here at Amazon to help me make informed buying choices. I hope this review has helped you in the same manner. If you voted this as helpful, I Thank You! :)

As a newly diagnosed pre-diabetic I have been looking for products that taste good and don't affect my sugar levels adversely. This product seems to be doing the trick. I can tolerate the taste but wish it tasted a little more sweet. I know this is diffult for a diabetic diet but just thought I'd mention it.

Really enjoyed the bars, high fibre content adds to its health benefits, mature taste of dark chocolate, delightful flavoring which compliment the chocolate. Low sugar, might not be sweet enough for some, but I thought it was great. Although very small in size, they are not insignificant and can work as a meal filler but I would not rely on them for this. Low calories per bar very convenient. Probably, too expensive with shipping and handling, but I will probably be getting them again.

I never bought or ate wasabi flavored seaweed snacks before so I had no idea what they would be like. They are light, crispy, medium-hot spicy chips. Although they look light and flaky, they explode with flavor when you munch them. They also taste great in sandwiches and crumbled into salads. I paid around $10 for a pack of 12, using the coupon code ANNIECH8 plus the subscription discount.

I have purchased this product in stores before, so I knew I would like it and decided to buy a case. Everything was as expected, but the "Better if used before" date on the case and the individual boxes was February of 2006. Now, I realize that these things don't go bad quickly, but I still think selling something THREE AND A HALF YEARS after the "use by" date is unacceptable. I will hesitate to purchase more food items from Amazon.

I love blueberries so much, it is great to be able to have a bar that I can take with me everywhere that I can get my fill of blueberries anytime I want them. As a diabetic I have found that all of the bars that I have tried by granola gourmet have not spiked my blood sugar, so it really makes me feel really comfortable and satisfied at the same time.

Kashi TLC Chewy Granola Bars Trail Mix, 6-Count Box (Pack of 6)
Average Reviews:

I am on a mongo calorie-counting diet -- and have lost about fifty pounds -- and have certainly formed some definite opinions about snack foods. Among my very favorite are these TLC Trail Mix Bars. Aside from the fact that they contain 4g of fiber and 6g of protein per bar, they not only taste good -- I love those little bits of dried cranberry -- they have a terrific combination of nutty and five-grain crunch and sweet. This particular flavor of TLC bars is my favorite, by far, although I like the Honey Almond Flax variety, too. (Am not at all fond of the Peanut Butter ones.)
Other data for these bars: 140 cals, total fat 5g, saturated fat 0.5g, trans fat 0.0g, cholesterol 0.0g, sodium 95g, carb 20g, iron 6% RDA.
