Shaky Mommy: Fiber One chewy granola bars

Fiber One recently sent us a great pack of goodies to celebrate the launch of their new Fiber One Chewy product. These new chewy bars are available in two flavors: Chocolate and Strawberry PB & J.

We tried the new chewy bars out yesterday at the park, after the kids kicked their new soccer ball around for a while. We also received some sidewalk chalk and a flexible disc to encourage outdoor active play, as well as a water bottle and a tote bag to carry it all around in.

The kids each picked a Fiber One Chewy variety to try and the chocolate was definitely the favorite! The kids enjoyed the PB & J variety as well.

I liked the chocolate bar a lot. It tasted like a good chewy granola bar should, was drizzled with chocolate on top and also had a chocolate bottom (the PB & J flavor has a peanut butter flavored bottom). I have never liked the combination of peanut butter and jelly, not even when I was young. But I still tasted the PB & J bar. It tasted just like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich (which wasn't a good thing for me, but you PB & J lovers out there should enjoy it).

Jaxon enjoyed both varieties and finished one of each flavor off in about 15 minutes. It was only after he finished the bars that I realized that he had just eaten 10 grams of fiber!

His little cheeks are stuffed full :)

I like that the texture was not tough or hard. I regularly buy Fiber One bars but my only complaint about them is that sometimes I feel like I'm choking the bar down because they can be dry. These new chewy bars are not like that at all. Even though they contain 5 grams of fiber each, they are moist and yummy. They contain no high fructose corn syrup and only 7 or 8 grams of sugar (depending on the flavor you choose). These are great for kids and adults. They are a little messy when it's warm outside (especially the chocolate variety), as shown by the photo below.
