The catch

Each two bar serving carries 11g of added sugar, 23 percent of the daily value, drawn from three sources sugar, honey and brown sugar syrup, with just 3g of protein to offset it. (source)

The honest take

This is the original crunchy granola bar, with whole grain oats as the first ingredient and 22g of whole grain and 190 calories per two bar serving. The snag for a health minded shopper is that sugar sits as the second ingredient and the bars carry 11g of added sugar per serving, 23 percent of the daily value, while offering only 3g of protein and 2g of fiber, so it eats more like a lightly sweet treat than a filling snack. The ingredient list is short and skips high fructose corn syrup, artificial flavors and artificial colors, though it does lean on canola or sunflower oil. Reasonable as an occasional crunchy oat bar, not a blood sugar friendly staple.
