Introduction

The idea behind cereal bars is that they provide a quick snack or breakfast for someone who is on the go. Assembling a full breakfast may be a challenge for someone with a tight schedule, and many people believe that breakfast is an important meal, so cereal bars fill the need. Someone can also snack on a cereal bar in the middle of the day, with some people carrying cereal bars so that they can keep their blood sugar under control. A cereal bar before a workout can provide more energy, and likewise with a cereal bar consumed at a low point in the work day. The nutritional value of cereal bars varies considerably. Many companies make versions which are heavily sweetened, with a low fiber content and few vitamins or minerals. While these cereal bars may be tasty, they do not confer very much nutrition, and they may not provide the same benefits as a healthier version. Especially when cereal bars are being eaten as a meal replacement, it is important to seek out a cereal bar which provides some basic nutrition, rather than a cereal bar which is basically a sweet treat in wolf's clothing.
There are some things to look for when buying cereal bars which can be used to select a product with the most nutritional value. The sugar content should be low, ideally less than 15 grams, while the fiber content should be high, usually above five grams. High protein is another thing to look for, as are vitamins like C and A, with a cereal bar ideally having at least 25% of the daily value of two or more vitamins. Avoid cereal bars which are dipped in candy coatings, or cereal bars with ingredients like marshmallows, chocolate chunks, and other candy ingredients. Dried fruit and nuts are good ingredients to look for, as they can provide extra nutritional value.
