The Best Granola Bars?

Consumer Reports has just come out with a free analysis of cereal and granola bars. They tested sixteen granola bars and the one they would most recommend is Nature's Path Organic FlaxPlus Pumpkin.

They say it tastes better than the other granola bars. It also has more fiber and omega-3's and less sodium. There are no preservatives or additives in this product.

The ingredients in order of weight are organic rolled oats, organic brown rice flour, partially polished organic brown rice syrup, organic invert cane syrup, organic evaporated cane juice, organic pumpkin seeds, organic expeller pressed canola oil and/or organic soybean oil, organic flax seeds, organic acacia gums, organic honey, natural spice and flavors, sea salt, organic molasses and rice extract.

You can get five of these bars at Amazon for about $3.35. I think we'll be seeing a lot more granola bars offering flax seed as a central ingredient in the near future.

I tried your Ganola Bar and it was absoultely great! Maybe we can solve our obesity problem by giving a granola bar with no nuts or peanuts and just soy is great.
