If you CAN get this cereal at your local Costco, then DO - it's insanely cheap and has been for years. Otherwise, get this 6 pack and sign up for subscription delivery and it's the best price you'll get outside Costco. Still 50% more expensive, but hey... you gotta have your granola right?

Quaker Breakfast Cookies, Oatmeal Raisin cookies, 6 Count, 48 Gr Review

I ordered the Oatmeal Raisin and received the Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Raisin. This order was placed for use when my grandson visited. Needless to say, I was not happy with this item sent but gave it away to a neighbor. I will not order from Amazon an item such as this again.
If you want OATMEAL RAISIN continue your search at local grocery stores. You may end up with something you DID NOT ORDER! Too much bother to return because it was such a small item but suggest you look elsewhere. This is the only thing from Amazon which has been a disappointment.
CHECK OTHER STORES!

Quaker Chewy Granola Bar Low Fat Oatmeal Raisin, 10-Count Boxes (Pack of 12) Review

Quaker Chewy Granola Bar Low Fat Oatmeal Raisin, 10-Count Boxes (Pack of 12)
Average 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.

Average Reviews:

I stumbled across these in the grocery store today, and immediately noticed the 25% less sugar label. Sounds promising I thought. Just 100 calories? Even better! No high fructose corn syrup, 0 g trans fats, sign me up! Upon closer inspection, these granola bars aren't quite as healthy as 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 pretty good. They still have enough chocolate chips scattered about to resemble a chocolate chip granola bar, and somehow the ratio of oats to barley/rice is higher in this than compared to the oatmeal raisin 90 g bars (see my corresponding lowfat oatmeal raisin review). The bar isn't too dry, and you feel pretty good eating just one of them and only taking in 100 calories. Only 100 calories? Hmm, I can afford to eat a few more...

Out of all the Quaker breakfast bars I've tried, this one is hands down my favorite. The cinnamon-sugar flavor is oh-so-good, and I love it that each one is only 90 calories--I can eat 2 and not feel guilty. :o)
But the bad news is that they are no where to be found in any store, and apparently, they're not available on Amazon, either. I am hoping and praying that at some point I'll be able to purchase them again.

Quaker True Delights, Chewy Granola Bar made with Whole Grains, Toasted Coconut Banana Macadamia flavor (3-Box Value-Pack) Review

Oh boy these are good! Definitely makes a satisfying substitute for candy or dessert and at 140 calories, it's a "better" choice (maybe not the best, but better) than many sweets. The banana flavor is natural, like dried bananas, not that gross artificial flavoring and the nuts and coconut are completely indulgent tasting. I'd much rather have this bar than some of the more "oaty" kinds with the same calorie and fat content.

Quaker Chewy Granola Bar, Chocolate Chip, 10-Count Bars (Pack of 12) Review

Quaker Chewy Granola Bar, Chocolate Chip, 10-Count Bars (Pack of 12)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I'm not a big fan of the new type of Quaker Oats granola bar; lot's of barley/rice filler material, not many oats. However, the chocolate chip is the best tasting in my opinion- well, maybe it ties with the peanut butter chocolate chunk. There are enough chocolate chips in the bar to give the moist fattiness that we all desire, yet the chocolate chips are small enough such that you don't feel too guilty eating them. Maybe that's a bad thing, because it encourages you to reach for another.
The granola bars seem a bit smaller than I remember, but there's plenty of flavor packed inside. These aren't too healthy; still a lot of corn syrup (though no "high" fructose corn syrup as they stress), fructose, dextrose, hydrogenated oils, etc.. Not intended to be a meal replacement bar (unless you ate the whole box), but they're a tasty, traditional snack.

Quaker-Chewy 90 Calories Variety Pack, 48 ct Review

Quaker-Chewy 90 Calories Variety Pack, 48 ct
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Like a lot of people these days I am trying to eat better. I pretty much have it down as far as recipes for a healthy breakfast through dinner. Snacking between meals has always been my true downfall. No matter what it is we do for a living it seems we are relentlessly bombarded with the sight and display of candy bars and other gooey concoctions wailing their sirens song wherever we venture too. (I happen to work at home but believe me, that doesn't help). I first picked up some of these Quaker bars at the local market here. At first they didn't set too well with me. Considering they were following the act of a snickers bar or peanut butter cup. Trust me when I tell you however that you do get used to them rather quickly and they are not all that bad. The main thing I enjoy about them is their chewy consistency over a lot of other dry crunchy cereal bars. The moist chewiness is a real crowd please when it comes to fooling you into thinking that you're eating something downright decadent. And for something that is good for you, they have a real taste to them that is most pleasing. Especially if accompanied by a nice cup of coffee or tea. I eat one usually around lunch, after dinner, and later in the evening anytime I get the munchies while watching TV or working. (Which is just about all the time).
Amazon can sometimes be a little scarce on their nutritional info, so please, allow me. These bars are low in just about everything that is bad for you, (and unfortunately makes real candy bars taste so good). A single bar contains about a 100 calories, (not the 90 advertised, not according to the nutritional info supplied anyhow), 3 grams of fat, (1.5 saturated), 75 grams of sodium, and 18 grams of carbs. They are just about half of any so called protein bar in all the right places as far as bad stuff, and even lower than fiber bars as well. These cereal bars may not be as tasty as some of the other alternatives as far as health bars are concerned, but they are certainly both less fattening and a lot cheaper than the tastier alternatives as well. If you buy a couple of boxes at once here on Amazon, the shipping is only like a dollar more and a real bargain. I highly recommend these bars if you want to eat healthier and are not all that fussy about the taste of what is better for you. Enjoy one or two with a cup of coffee or a glass a milk and they make a tasty, better alternative to junk food you will come to look forward too...
