Most of the "snack" bars out there have so much sugar alcohol in them that they give me digestive problems. But, my local grocery started stocking Quaker Q-Smart bars this week. The flavor is cranberry-almond and they're just fine. Made from a soy-rice crisp, soy nuggets, and a lot of other stuff. A 1-oz bar has 8g total carbs, 2g fiber, 1g sugar, 3g sugar alcohol (lactitol and maltitol.) 120 cals. 86 cents apiece in a box of five. I'll use 'em as an occasional treat or when I'm exercising.

Sounds good! Even if you count the sugar alcohols it's still only 6 net carbs.

Take a good look at that other stuff. I can't recall exactly but there's something there that's a no-no (corn syrup? partially hydrogenated oil?)

I saw these at Sam's Club today, and they had chocolate peanut butter and the cranberry almond flavors. They do have hydrogenated oils in them; but, as far as bars go, they look better than a lot of them out there. The cranberry almond ones don't have any sugar alcohols that I could see, but I could be wrong there.
I passed on them, myself, but they could be a fairly good option.

I'm not sure if those are the ones I picked up at Albertson's yesterday - the reason I'm not sure is I put them right back on the shelf as soon as I saw they contained "fractionated palm kernel oil" and I think they had partially hydrogenated stuff in them too. I try really hard not to ingest those nasty fats if I can avoid them!

Have you tried the new Advantage Golden Oats granola bar? It's my favorite bar out there. (I haven't liked the other advantage bars & didn't much care for the berry granola one but love the golden oats one)

I Love Love Love the Atkins Golden Oats Bar. Since i'm so rushed in them morning I grab one and run ~ delicious! :cook:

The second ingredient listed is rice starch and rice flour.
