I have always loved snacks, but when I became a breastfeeding mom I found a new level of appreciation for pre-prepared food that can be put in a basket near the rocking chair for midnight munchies. Now as the mom of a very mobile toddler that is always on the go, I have a new-found appreciation for food that I can put into the diaper bag and forget about until the playdate munchies strike at the zoo.
Fiber one “Chocolate Mocha” bars offer 35% of the daily RDA of fiber, in a convenient snack sized bar.
THE TASTE & TEXTURE
FiberOne bars are very decadently chewy. Think candy bar, not dry granola bar. They’re moist, often gooey, and very sweet. If you’re not a big fan of fiber bars and can’t stand the taste of granola, give FiberOne bars a chance. They belong more on the candy rack at the check-out counter than buried back with the health food or cereal.
The Chocolate Mocha bars have a very sweet heavy chocolate taste with overtones of those fancy coffee drinks. They’re a bit on the sweet side for my tastes, despite only containing 10 grams of sugar.
INGREDIENTS
The ingredients of this bar range from the healthy (Chicory root extract/inulin, rolled oats and crisp rice), to the decadent (sweet chocolate chips with coffee), to the less-than-healthy (high fructose corn syrup). Seeing how VERY sweet these bars are, I would think that the bars could have been equally delicious without the high fructose corn syrup, and a wee bit healthier.
That said, if you look at the fiber bar as a healthier form of indulgence, 9 grams of fiber with only 10 grams of sugar is really rather healthy compared to your average chocolate bar with 1 gram fiber and 24 grams of sugar. And the super-sweet taste does a pretty good job of satisfying my desire for a desert.
Full list of ingredients: Chicory root extract (inulin), sweet chocolate chips with coffee (sugar, chocolate liquor, coffee, cocoa butter, milk fat, soy lecithin, vanillin), rolled oats, crisp rice (rice flour, sugar, malt extract, salt, caramel color), high maltose corn syrup, barley flakes, honey, sugar, glycerin, maltodextrin, canola oil, high fructose corn syrup, palm kernel oil, tricalcium phosphate, soy lecithin, salt, nonfat milk, natural flavor, cocoa processed with alkali, caramel color, baking soda, wheat flour, mixed tocopherols added to retain freshness. (Contains milk, soy and wheat ingredients) (NOTE: Always make sure to check the packaging or manufacturer’s website for up to date information on the ingredients.)
BOTTOM LINE
I would place these a bit more on the “healthy junk food” side of the spectrum and a bit less on the “decadent health food” side. They’re great if you’re looking for a dessert with some redeeming qualities. If you’re going to eat them instead of a high fat, low fiber dessert, they’re a great choice. Unfortunately you can’t quite do away with healthier foods just yet. Too bad, as the tag line “Cardboard, no. Delicious, yes.” is pretty accurate!
GIVEAWAYWe’ve partnered with BlogSpark to give away three Spa gift baskets. This basket contains chocolate-scented lotion, chocolate-scented soap, a coffee-scented candle, a tin of bath salts, a terry-covered bath pillow, and a coupon so that you can get your own box of Fiber One bars for free.
I was more than happy to use this spa gift pack to inform my husband “Here’s the child, I’m going to take a long hot bath” and curl up in the tub to consume a few fiber one bars by candlelight.
