Product Review: Quaker Chewy Granola Bar Variety Pack

Quaker produces a great selection of chewy granola bars such as chocolate chip, peanut butter chocolate chip and cookies and cream. Now with the new variety out on the market, you can enjoy all 3 in one box!

Healthy Snacking

It is no secret that many snacks are full of sugar, even ones that are cleverly marketed as "healthy" and full of "whole grains". The first thing I do when I notice a new brand of snack is to go straight to the nutrition facts and see for myself if the claims that the company has made on the packaging is accurate.

25% Less Sugar than Regular Quaker Varieties

Quaker Chewy® Granola Bar Variety Pack clearly states on the front of the box that it contains 25% less sugar than regular varieties of Quaker Chocolate Chip or Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip bars. The sugar content in this product is 5g per serving, which is 2g less than the regular variety. Satisfied that the claims were true, I put the product into my trolley.

Price

Each 240g (8.4 oz) box of Quaker Chewy® Granola Bar Variety Pack costs just $2.39 for 10 chewy granola bars. That comes to $0.24 for each bar, which is very affordable.

There is not much variation between the Chocolate Chip and the Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip and Cookies & Cream varieties. Cookies & Cream has the lowest saturated fat content at just 0.5g, a slightly higher level of sodium at 85mg and less fibre at 2g.

The nutrition shows that these snacks are low in saturated fat, sodium and sugar. They are a sensible choice when it comes round to snack time.

Taste

Quaker Chewy® Granola Bar Variety Pack have a great taste. They are chewy, moist and they are full of flavour. The Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip is particularly tasty.

Warning

There is a warning attached to this product. It warns that there may be traces of peanuts in these granola bars. So if you or a family member is allergic to peanuts, you will need to exercise due caution when deciding if this would be the right snack.
