Snack Bar Taste Test

Stay tuned for our Snack Bar Giveaway on September 12.

Lord knows there are plenty of them to choose from. (We sampled a grand total of 68!) It's just hard to find one you actually want to eat. Here's the skinny on six insta-snacks that do the job -- all for 200 calories or less -- and taste good doing it.

Onebar Mango

This tiny, 70-calorie fruit leather packs in mango, pear, and exotic baobab for a serving of fruit. Pair it with nuts for a protein boost. $1*

Pure Naturals Super Fruit Nutty Crunch

A mix of cranberries, blueberries, and pomegranate makes the flavor of this nougaty favorite really pop. $1.70

Kind Dark Chocolate Nuts & Sea Salt

If you love a sweet-and-salty anything, here's a bar that gets it just right -- and with only 5 grams of sugar. $2

Two Degrees Cherry Almond

Chia, quinoa, and millet lend a nice crunchy texture. Plus, every bar purchased means a hungry child gets a meal. $2

Kit's Organic Peanut Butter

Made with only dates, peanuts, almonds, and sea salt, this pick tastes as good as it looks on paper. $1.60

Kashi Golean Crunchy! Chocolate Almond

A whole-grain blend of buckwheat, brown rice, and more renders this choice particularly hearty. $1.50

Staying Power
To keep from feeling peckish again in a half-hour, opt for a bar with at least 3 grams of fiber and 5 to 10 grams of protein. (And choose bars that have 15 or fewer grams of sugar.)

    I spend way too much time doing exactly what you just did for me...helping me evaluate good tasting food that is also good for me. Not all of us can take the time to sample over 60 bars...looks like you did the work and chose some great ones. I also like the idea of feeding a hungry child with the one by Two Degrees.
