Muesli Bars, A "Healthy" Option?

a4.7.15.jpg
The list of ingredients seems ideal for a so called healthy diet. But while bars and snacks that are packed full of grains, oats, dried fruits and seeds may appear to be as healthy as food could get, when we break things down nutritionally, the reality is not so healthy.

Yes, these nutrients are all 'healthy'. But they are also all energy dense ingredients. This means when they are consumed together, you can end up with a product that contains more than 60g of total carbohydrates along with 20+ grams of sugar courtesy of honey, dried fruit and / or rice malt syrup.

Make better choices by keeping a close eye on calories and total carbohydrates and choose products that contain fewer than 200 calories and 20g total carbohydrates.
