Nature Valley Roasted Nut Crunch

October 8th, 2007 Elizabeth

I am a big fan of Nature Valley Oats N Honey granola bars so when I got the chance to review Nature Valley’s newest line, Roasted Nut Crunch, I jumped at it. Unlike other bars, Oats N Honey have serious crunch factor and Nature Valley kept that crunch in their new nut bars.

Nuts are a great choice when hunger strikes because they are healthy and filling; the only things I have to watch are the fat content and sugars. Here is the “skinny” on Nature Valley’s Roasted Nut Crunch:

Ingredients:

Almond Nut Crunch
Almonds, Peanuts, Sunflower Seeds, Sugar, Corn Syrup, Salt
Calories 200, Calories from fat 130, Sugars 6g, Protein 7

Peanut Nut Crunch
Peanuts, Sunflower Seeds, Sugar, Corn Syrup, Salt, Almond Flour
Calories 190, Calories from fat 110, Sugars 7g, Protein 7

When I unwrapped one of the Roasted Nut Crunch bars, it looked a bit smaller than a typical granola bar but it was packed with almonds, peanuts and sunflowers. The bars look like they would melt in your mouth but it was extremely crunchy.
I would definitely recommend this new line of bars for anyone from a quick bite at work to a well deserved snack after a hard mountain bike ride. My only caution would be that the fourth ingredient is corn syrup, but other than that I felt good about putting these bars in my body.
