Sugar-Free Granola Bars (a healthy kids snack)

Do you still rely on muesli/granola bars for school lunches?

Once you understand most regular granola bars (cereal bars) are packed with sugar, you may be looking for a healthier granola bar option.

Try these which are free of sugar, grains, wheat, and naturally gluten-free. They are packed with seeds and nuts and a hint of cinnamon and vanilla.

How Much Sugar Is in A Regular Granola Bar?

Store-bought muesli bars appear to be healthy but contain an astounding amount of sugar, and in addition, there are the oats and grains which your body will also convertinto blood glucose also.

TOP TIP: Avoid barsthat contain dried fruit, they’resugar dense and have very little nutrition.

It is so easy to overdo dried fruit thinking it is the healthier option. Dried fruit is a concentrated source of sugar and is often referred to as ‘nature’s candy’.

Eating a handful of grapes is far better than eating a few raisins. Whole fruits will still have fiber, nutrition, and water. Always try to choose low-carb fruits.

Take a look at the nutrition label for oatmealgranola/muesli bars. Not only does each bar contain a whopping 19g of sugar (that’s almost 5 teaspoons), it also containsover 30 ingredients. Sugars are listed as brown sugar, high fructose corn syrup, sugar, glycerin, and corn syrup.

19g of sugar is almost double the World Health Organisation is recommending 10g of sugar per DAY. There are 43g carbs/60g bar = 72%. To make things even worse, they contain hydrogenated soybean oils and cottonseed oils. Not one ingredient here makes me want to buy these, let alone feed them to my children.
