Taste Test Tuesday: Fiber One Oats & Chocolate (naturally flavored) Bars
So what's in this 9-gram fiber bar? The first ingredient is chicory root extract (sounds awfully "wholesome"), then comes chocolate chips, then rolled oats, crisp rice, and barley flakes. After that come the sweeteners like high maltose corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup, and sugar (which would explain the 10 grams of sugar per bar).
How did they taste? The taste was as good and quite comparable to other popular chewy granola bars out there...and at least this one has a PUNCH of fiber. It has a nice substantial size to it too, so given the size (volume) and the amount of fiber, I'm hoping this bar will stick with you a bit longer than most.

The sugar in these bars comes from high fructose corn syrup which turned me off. I saw that after I started eating it. I love the fiber one cereal with 0 grams of sugar and was excited to try these bars. I actually think they are a little too sweet. Id rather go for a chewy Kashi bar which contains 5 grams of fiber with 4 grams of protein and is sweetened with natural evaporated cane juice.
Great post Lindsey,
At least the high fructose corn syrup is the 7th ingredient though!

My kids and I like them to, but they seem to give us all alot of gas.
I was also discouraged by the high fructose corn syrup in the ingredients list but bought the product anyway and found it very tasty. It's perfect when you crave something sweet.
These bars are good tasting, but they also give me really bad gas! I have to take gasx right after I eat a bar. If you need a lot of fiber fast, these bars are good!
