Advantages: Convenient snack

Disadvantages: Some are really unhealthy

I'm afraid theres a fundamental problem with modern cerealbars - so many of them are just as bad for you as any other snacks. I used to be given Jordans cereal bars as a kid because they were pretty healthy. So, I grew up thinking cereal bars were a good way to get some nutrition into my body in snack form. Yes, they are quite expensive in comparison to cereal itself, but they are very convenient. Over the years I got more and more of the ones with chocolate chips etc. However,I recently read an article about the fa and sugar content of these products, and was really really shocked. We all know that cereals like coco pops and frosties are bad for you, but many of the cerealbars are even worse, as they are often bound together with chocolate or syrupy stuff. My advice is to always check the nutritional information first.

Summary: Check the contents before you buy
