Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)One of the country's best food writersIn Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto suggests that sane eating begins with eating food. In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto He means that we should eat things that our great-grandmothers would have recognized as food, whole, unadulterated, relatively un-processed products of farms and seas and fields.
South Beach Cereal Bars are decidedly not what he had in mind. The ingredient list could not be read aloud in one breath. Or two. It contains things that sound bizzare (fractionated palm kernel oil) or frightening (Invert Syrup).
And yet.
For the hungry weight-lifter or the person on the run, things could be a whole lot worse. How many of us, trapped in an airport or rest stop or the short pause between a workout and a return to work, eat something that is truly awful? We go for a junk burger or a bag of chips or a giant soda.
These little (35gm) bars offer ten grams of protein and 3 grams of fiber in a mere 140 calories. There's five grams of fat, two of which are saturated, to stave off hunger later on.
How do they taste? Compared to food, they're not very good. Try a nibble of real peanut butter before you eat one and you'll find the bar to be almost tasteless. Compared to other 'foods' in their category, they're quite tasty and they leave your mouth feeling uncontaminated with a toasty sort of aftertaste.
