Favorite "granola" Bars


Guest cassidy

Recommended Posts

I'm looking for some good "granola" bars. I often stop in at health food stores and try to pick one up when I'm hungry. Since they are each close to $2, I hate to buy a new one, take one bite and decide I can't possibly eat it. I don't like things that are too sweet. What are your favorites? Are they any "mainstream" bars that are gluten-free, like cliff, luna?

So far, I like Gertrude & Bronner's Magic Alpsnack, Coconut, Pineapple & Mango (one flavor), and I've tried the Larabar Apple pie.

I like the Ener-G granola bars. They do come in a large package, and you would just have to sandwich baggie them for take alongs. I also sometimes have the Kraft southbeach diet meal replacement bars. There are a couple that are gluten free, just read the labels.

Clif nectar bars-- i just got my (non-celiac) roommate addicted to them- they are like trail mix, fruit and nuts and all natural. I also like EnviroKidz bars-- they are like rice krispie treats- very light.

I like the Envirokid Berry Bars. It's more of a chewy "granola" bar. I used to love the Nature Valley hard granola bars, but I haven't found anything like that I like. I find these are good for a quick snack.

I love Go Raw granola bars, and all of the Go Raw products. They are ridiculously expensive, but really worth it once in a while. I'm able to buy these at my local vegan market (a great place that sells all vegan food and lots of gluten-free stuff) - but I think you can order them online as well. They are great.

Ruth's Hemp Bars - well, really just the flax ones, but they're good!

I LOVE the Clif Nectar bars! My favorite is the yellow one.... Vanilla, cashew, and something else.

I just bought a box of Think Organic bars from Costco. They are just fruit and nuts.

I love Boomi Bars - mostly nuts, and they have a good one w/ cranberries.

      @Alibu, Just wanted to add... Migraines can be caused by thiamine insufficiency.  I used to have them, regularly, but haven't since supplementing with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and Magnesium Threonate.  These forms get into the brain easily and really improve migraines.  I do still get Ophthalmic migraines which are triggered by computer screens.  It's permanent damage from nutritional deficiencies.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace test is a more accurate test for sufficient thiamine. Keep us posted on your progress!

      @knitty kitty Thank you for those, I will definitely bring them up!  I did send a message to my doctor basically asking what they think so I'll go from there.  He may very well just decide that this was enough to diagnose celiac, but I have no clue what his thoughts are right now.  I also asked for a second opinion on the pathology.

      @HilaryM, Are you eating a diet high in carbohydrates?  You might find a Paleo diet easier on your digestive system.  A Paleo diet can promote changes in  intestinal flora, effectively starving out SIBO bacteria.   Be wary of gluten free processed foods.  Many are not enriched or fortified with vitamins and minerals lost in processing like gluten containing foods are.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist about supplementing with vitamins and minerals while healing.  Vitamins are organic compounds that the body cannot make and so must get from the diet.   Supplementing ensures our bodies get a fair chance to absorb the essential nutrients it needs.

      @MelissaClinPsyD, I hope you investigate whether your participants take nutritional supplements.  The group of eight B vitamins, Vitamin D and magnesium have a big impact on mental health, especially depression.  I know correcting nutritional deficiencies were most important in my physical and mental health recovery!   There's more information and my mental health struggles in my blog.   Keep us posted on your progress!

      @Jmartes71, Please do get checked for nutritional deficiencies.  A good B Complex, Vitamin D, Benfotiamine (a form of Thiamine Vitamin B1 that promotes intestinal healing), Vitamin D and magnesium are a good way to start. Correcting nutritional deficiencies with Thiamine supplements (like Benfotiamine), B Complex, and Vitamin D were my miracles. How are you doing?  Sending prayers.
