Hi there<\/p>\n
As the end of the year is approaching, I am feeling a bit.. delusional, thinking still have time to meet my resolution for the year I have been trying to eat a little healthier lately.<\/p>\n
Then when I read from the magazine where they printed this Nature Valley granola bars, I told myself I got to try this out, at least it will still be better than munching on the chocolate cookie.\u00a0It is definitely a\u00a0low calorie option, 100%, natural ingredients like whole grain oats & honey, you know – a light bulb moment.<\/p>\n
There I go, happily went to the supermarket to try it out to see if I can debunk the myth that\u00a0low calorie\u00a0packet snack usually taste horrible and\u00a0at the same time, march one step closer to complete my 2011 resolution. (Delusional)<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Anyway got this Nature Valley cereal bars for $9.45 which was on promotion for two boxes and decided to try it out.<\/p>\n Each box contains 6 individually wrapped packs which comes in\u00a0 2 good sized granola bars. Each 2 bar serving contains\u00a0around 190 calories.<\/p>\n Actually I was a bit apprehensive at the beginning because my colleague did tell me this tasted really horrible, but I thought I will just try it out for\u00a0myself, at most I will just use it to make a crunchy base for some cheese cake recipe (talk about “low calorie options”…)<\/p>\n It comes in various flavors, and of course the kiasu side of me got the multi pack ones, so that I can try out most of their popular flavors \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n The flavors include :<\/p>\n Each mouthful is chockfull of nutty crunch. You can taste the roasted oats and the sweetness that bind the whole grain oats together, well\u00a0balance not just flavor but also the taste as well.\u00a0\u00a0What’s more, each bar comes with 16 gram of whole grain too!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The look of it might not look that appealing,\u00a0unlike other brands like Alive, where they have all these big chunks of nuts and yogurt drizzle over it,\u00a0but what they make up for is the flavourful oats that is not as sweet as other granola bars. You are literally eating roasted oats in a bowl but better still without the spoon and bowl, but packed with nutrients.<\/p>\n I was quite\u00a0surprise by how\u00a0tasty it is. My favourite so far is peanut butter, because it can pass off as some sinful snack yet it is so healthy too! yohoo!<\/p>\n\n
