Advantages: convenient, easy breakfast

Disadvantages: Some are packed full of sugar and additives

I'm a huge fan of cereal bars, providing they are a healthy variety. Cereal bars are a great snack and can provide a lot of energy in just a small bar. You can get some that are absolutely delicious, yet very healthy and nutritious. They are basically made of dried cereals which are compacted together or stuck together with a substance like honey. They often contain other ingredients, commonly fruit, nuts, chocolate or yoghurt.

The brands that I highly recommend are Carman's and Sainsbury's Super Naturals. These don't contain all the additives that many other brands do, they are reasonably priced and taste absolutely delicious.

I wouldn't recommend Kellogg's as the majority are packed with sugar and have huge ingredients lists due to all the additives that are packed in to them. Many people buy these because they are a familiar name but there are much better ones available.

A great thing about cereal bars is that most kids love them. If you purchase healthy ones, they make a great snack to put in your kids packed lunch boxes. If you or your kids are late up one morning, cereal bars are ideal as they can eat their breakfast on the way to school. I think they are one of the best inventions ever and I absolutely love tucking into them.

Cereal bars are a great alternative to sweets and chocolate, especially those packed with dried fruits which can relieve sugar cravings and are fall of vitamins.

If you haven't tried cereal bars before than there is no better time than the present. With such extensive choice in the supermarket, there are bars to please everyone's tastebuds. Just try to opt for the healthier vareties!

Summary: If You Choose Healthy Varieties, Cereal Bars Are a Convenient Nutritious Snack
