Diet Question:
What is your opinion on granola bars? Are they a healthy and smart choice?

Diet Answer:
In terms of the granola bars, I would highly recommend reading the ingredients and checking the overall grams of sugar in each bar. Most of these bars are packed with sugar and are nothing more than a candy bar. Actually, I have seen some granola bars that have more calories than a regular candy bar. Look for any bar that has less than 5 grams of sugar per bar (not per serving). Your best bet is to buy real natural, no sugar added granola from the market. This might not taste as good as the sugar filled granola bars but its much more healthier for you. For the sugar fix, try adding an apple or some fresh berries to the granola which will make a great healthy snack!
