When standing in the snack aisle, we often (too often) fall for chocolate-coated granola bars. Or caramel-filled bars. Or multicoloured candy-coated bars….In short, nothing nutritionists would ever approve of! But recently, as we were opening our afternoon snack, we received two boxes of Quaker Ancient Grains granola bars. In the right corner stood the honey cranberry almond variety, and in the left, cinnamon apple almond. We had quite a tasting! Made from a subtle mix of barley, spelt and Kamut wheat, these fit perfectly well with our health resolutions. And softly sweetened with honey and fruits, they fulfill our gourmet cravings. And into our grocery basket they go!
