I found this last night at GNC and never intending to eat the whole bar in one sitting anyway, I wasn't too put off by the fact that it has 460 calories. I knew it had tons of carbs, 58grms but I thought they were healthy carbs as it only has 9 grms of sugar. Unfortunately it only has 8 grms of fiber. I thought it had more. It does have 30 grms of protein but unfortunately, it tastes like it. It has an overwhelmingly whey protein taste to it. It is super dense and resembles a protein brick more than an oatmeal bar. It certainly doesn't look as good as the bar on the wrapper (just check out the photo above to see for yourself). Lilith wouldn't have anything to do with it. (Should have been a clue as she loves other oatmeal bars) It claims to have a "peanut flavored coating" but I couldn't taste it. I could taste raisins but since the flavor I purchased was Peanut Butter Banana, and I didn't taste either the banana or the peanut butter, I was very disappointed. Now reading the ingredients, I see that the "banana flavored bits" contain sugar and corn syrup as the first two ingredients. So basically this bar contains NO BANANA. hum. well, after eating 1/4 of this and really not liking it and after further review of the ingredients (or lack of any NATURAL ones should I say) , I would give it a big pass! I wish I had looked at it closer in the store but Lilith was getting cranky and so was husband so we had to hurry. I do have some pretty tasty shakes for review later however. stay tuned!
