Chocolate and Fibre: A Match Made In Granola Heaven

I got 100% of my daily fibre intake the other day -- Did you?

Weird question from a blogger you’ve never met, I know. But we had promotional packs of Kellogg’s Fibre Plus Bars brought into our office last week and I went wild. The whole office went choco -- whoops, I meant cuckoo.

No no, they don’t have 100% fibre per bar — I just had eaten five of them. They’re delicious!

The flavour was Dark Chocolatey Almond, and considering it’s a “healthier” granola bar, its flavour was elegant. The chocolate was sweet and didn’t overpower the light, yet perfectly crunchy granola. The bar proved to be a great mid-morning or mid-afternoon work snack. Satisfying a sweet tooth and nourishing an often underappreciated part of your dietary needs all in one, is an experience to be proud of.

Just be careful: Before you know it, you’ll have almost eaten the whole box in a day —in all fairness, it does have the word “irresistible” on the front. The bar can give you chocolate and fibre, but it’s up to you to provide the self control. I guess even in the 21st century you can’t ask for everything.

Next time you’re at the grocery store, don’t pass these up. They’re superb.
