Quaker Granola Chocolate Bites!

hungry waif's picture


Ok, i now the picture is of Quaker's 90 calorie granola bars, but this review is actually for their BRAND NEW 90 calorie packs of Granola Bites which are so new, their picture isn't even up on their site (and i left my digital camera back home in la...). These new snacks come in three flavors: peanut butter, cinnamon, and the one i tried, chocolate. It seems every snack imaginable has come up with a 100 calorie pack version and Quaker i guess wanted to stand out and outdo the rest by making their packs 90 calories (rolls eyes...). ok now for probably the most important part, the taste: interesting...let me describe. imagine a malt ball (like whoppers) only instead of a chocolate coating, oats and chocolate (kinda like their granola bars were made into a coating). All in all, pretty tasty but sadly, in no way filling, especially when this pack only contains 15 of these rather small balls. They also really dry out your mouth beacause of that malt ball center, so it leaves you slightly parched. i prefer the bars, but if you crave candy, this would be a healthier alternative.

Where did you get these snacks?

Someone gave me a couple packs of the cinnamon ones I haven't had the chocolate or peanut butter ones.. I really enjoyed them with the exception of how little you get in the bag. They are indeed like little whoppers with granola goodness on 'em. I'd be happy with more calories, just to have more to munch on.:)

They are not good for you

They are not good for you they contain partially hydrogenated palm kernal oil, in which they add hydrogen to the oil to prolong shelf life, but it is all trans fat, and can help give you cancer......everyboday try and write emails to quaker telling them that they should remove it!!!!!!!!!!
