The Saturday Review & Giveaway: Kardea Nutrition Bars – UPDATED!

[ 37 ] 09/18/2010 |

Update! Winners have been chosen – check the comments. If you’re one of the lucky winners, please contact me at heather@shrinkingjeans.net with your snail mail info! Thank you!!

*******

I am constantly on a quest for a healthy snack bar. There are SEVERAL out there, but I always find something wrong with them: not enough protein, too sweet, too little fiber, too many calories. Or, they contain the root of all evil, high fructose corn syrup. Or corn sugar.   Or whatever they’re trying to call it these days.

Well, everyone, I think my search may be over. I received a sample box of Kardea Nutrition bars in the mail last week and OH. MY. YUM.

Kardea Nutrition Bars come in four delicious flavors – Banana Walnut, Chai Spice, Cranberry Almond and Lemon Ginger. My favorites (and Melissa’s too!) are the Chai Spice and the Lemon Ginger. The Lemon Ginger totally remind me of these lemon ginger tea cookies I used to buy in my previous life as a cookie monster.

Not only do Kardea Nutrition Bars taste fantastic, they’re fantastic for you! Here’s the nutrition info:

  • Plant Sterols-1 gram
  • Total Fiber-7 grams with 5 grams Soluble Fiber
  • Heart Healthy Soluble Fiber-3grams
  • Protein-7 grams with 3.5 grams Soy Protein
  • Vegetarian-Friendly (Chai Spice & Banana Walnut Are Vegan)
  • Kosher Certified
  • Only 150 Calories/Bar
  • No Trans Fats
  • Lower Glycemic Formulation

At 150 calories, one Kardea Nutrition bar is  a sensible snack.  Or pair one with a piece of fruit, and you’ve got a nice, light breakfast.
