Recently, we got an opportunity from MyBlogSpark to check out Fiber One's cereals or granola bars. Since one of my kids, (not mentioning names), would benefit from more fiber in his or her diet, I thought this one would be perfect to try. Shaun actually got to do the picking and came home from the store with the oats and apple streusel variety of granola bars and the raisin bran variety of the cereal. (The first shouldn't surprise me, as my huband and children are apple obsessed).
Verdict? Everyone loved the cereal. I liked the fact that my kids THOUGHT they were eating carbs, but were instead ingesting MORE FIBER! Muahahahaha. The granola bars were an equal hit with everyone except for me, (I thought they were too sweet), and Lex, (she hates all granola bars equally).
So: What I liked - They tasted good and were an easy fix to the sometimes difficult problem of getting more fiber into my kid. What I didn't like - Not a fan of the high fructose corn syrup. I really wish more companies would get on board with phasing that out.
Anyway, if you're interested in trying some FOR FREE, (you know you are, admit it), comment on this blog post telling me your favorite snack to stuff in a purse or diaper bag for a chance to win a coupon for both a free box of FiberOne cereal and a free box of the granola bars AND, (best part), a $25 gift card to Safeway, (or an affiliate grocery store in your area). Woot, right?
Giveaway closes Thursday morning at 10am.
**Through MyBlogSpark, FiberOne provided me with the VIP coupons, Safeway giftcard and identical prize pack to giveaway. I was not otherwise compensated for this review. All views are my own honest assesment of the product provided.

THe rest of my family loooooved Fiber 1 granola bars. I'm not sold on them because of the HFCS either but hubby is a grown up and can make his own choices right?? I try to keep them out of the little one's hands but she's too smart and quick for me.
ReplyDeleteWe'd love to try them for free. :) I use granola bars and goldfish crackers in my diaper bag for a quick snack for the girls (or myself for that matter).
ReplyDeleteI like to stuff Special K bars in my diaper bag.

ReplyDeleteGive away's are awesome! I like the Kashi bars. They are not as surgary and sweet. The pumpkin flax seed is my favorite. Granola bars and cliff bars are my #1 grab & go snack. thx
ReplyDeleteI have yet to try these. I would so love to have something in the car when I am driving back and forth between my house and my parents and I am hungry. I would love to try the Oats and caramel. To me most anything with caramel takes wonderful.

I like the Fiber One cereal - the basic, first one that came out. It's kind of bland, but I mix it in almost every morning with other, more flavorful cereals, to boost the volume of cereal and the fiber content. My favorite snack to stuff in my purse these days? Baby carrots.
ReplyDeletei always throw protein or granola bars in my purse :) easy on the go!
ReplyDeleteI actually usually do have a granola bar in my purse if I need a snack... so winning would be nice :-) (And we do have a local Safeway in Tucson!)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite to go snack is my homemade granola in a travel cup. I always try to have a bag of cheerios for the kids, and I can usually pull out some fruit snacks if I have to.
ReplyDeleteI usually pack a carb such as pretzels or kix and some fruit like raisins, bananas or a apple. Never tried fiber one but I will certainly give it a try for free :)
ReplyDeleteI heart Safeway & Fiber One!! I like to put in my bag one of Fiber One's yummy chewy granola bars such as the Mocha Chocolate one. Mmmmmm smells and tastes yummy!! Thanks for the chance to win! Hope, hoping!! Oh btw, I LOVE your kids' faces on the left side w/the glasses. Sooo cute!

Around here we grab bananas to throw in my purse or diaper bag. If we are out of bananas (The horrors!) I rummage through the cabinets and find something (Anything!) else that will transport easily and won't make a mess. That not making a mess part is important!
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother always used to have the original Fiber One cereal in her cabinet, so I came to like it after a while. Never knew why it was called Fiber One, just knew it was tasty :) My favorite snack to stuff into my purse these days is usually Stacy's Pita chips - so yummy!
ReplyDeleteI used to do granola bars, but the dentist said no more...Now I try to keep some whole grain crackers in the car and the diaper bag so there are always some on hand!
ReplyDeleteKellogg's fiber bars of the dark chocolate almond variety. Yum!
