Snack Bars

Not all snack bars are healthy, and some include a lot of sugar and fat. However, there are some excellent, healthier choices available if you're in the mood for a sweet treat.

Instead of using table sugar, try looking for a snack bar made with whole oats and sweetened with fresh or dried fruit. Additionally, be careful of bars that are high in so-called "healthy" sugars like honey, agave syrup, or coconut sugar. These are unhealthy since they still include added sugar. Whole foods have been used to make the greatest bars. Even though they are still sweet, they are likely to be richer in fiber and contain more healthy nutrients. As an alternative, you may consider making your own nutritious snack bar.
