A few days ago, a friend was picking my brain for portable, nutritious, and tasty snack ideas.He specifically mentioned that while he enjoys the taste of my standby bar recommendations (Lara, Clif Nectar, Gnu Flavor & Fiber, Pure), they are all missing "crunch" -- his favorite texture.
Crackers don't really do it, he explained, because he likes a tinge of sweetness to his snacks.
I suggested Kashi TLC (Tasty Little Crunchies) granola bars -- and was just told it's exactly the type of snack my friend was looking for!
One individually wrapped container offers two bars and provides:
180 calories
4 grams of fiber (3 of which are soluble)
8 grams (2 teaspoons) of added sugar
6 grams of protein
100% whole grains
I specifically point out the presence of soluble fiber as that is the type of fiber that has been linked with reductions in LDL ("bad") cholesterol.

I love these bars-they're just sweet enough, and it's great for me to toss in my purse so I can avoid getting too hungry while at work and eating too much when I get home!
