FiberOne Bars

March 27, 2009 · Filed under Snacks · Tagged ,

FiberOne Bars – 9 GRAMS of FIBER!!!!

Taste Great and Costco sells 30 for $9! Can’t beat a great, yummy snack for .30 cents!

Calories = 140

Fat = 4g

Fiber = 9g

Sugar = 10g

Protein = 2g

Disclaimer: These are what I consider a highly processed food. There are ingredients that I try not to consume. Now that said, I would rather eat one of these if I am in a jam then a bad of chips, a candy bar, or fast food. I would not suggest you eat these on a regular basis. But when you need a short-cut, you can’t beat the 9g of fiber! So it is a trade-off, or sorts.

If you don’t think you like hummus LEARN to! Hummus is Garbanzo beans, olive oil, and tahini….all are heart smart and good fats for your brain! “Google” it and see for yourself!
