Fiber One Toaster Pastry Strawberry Review

I don't really like my kids to have Pot Tarts all the time. But I do keep them on hand for days we might be running late in the morning, they can always grab a Popt Tarts and run if thy don't have time to eat something healthier. I was shopping for a box of Pop Tarts to replace our previously emptied box.  Then I happened to see Fiber One on a box nearby.  Now I love the Fiber One Fiber Snack bars, so I picked up the Fiber On Fruit Flavoed Toaster Pastry box and took a look at it.  I saw the 20% Fiber advertisement right thereon the box. 

Then I flipped over and looked at the Dietary fiber and sure enough there were 5 grams of fiber in the box, so I decided to give them a try. 

Fiber One Toaster Pastries look a lot like regular Pop Tarts.  They come two to a package just like regular Pop Tarts, and there are 6 pastries total in the box.  They are shaped the same as Pop Tarts and have icing on them like the frosted Pop Tarts.  The pastry part is a little darker and has a wheatier texture then regular pop tarts.  They are fruit filled pretty much the same as regular Pop Tarts as well. 

The Fiber One Strawberry patris contain wehat, milk, and soy products.  Unfortunately they may be high in fiber but they are still packed with sugar, the second ingredients after wheat grain wheat flour is corn syrup, followed by water, sugar, and High Fructoe Corn syrup. So this is not necessarily a diabetic friendly product. 

The Fiber One strawberry pastries have 4 grams of fat, and what I found to be depressing is that they are 190 calories per pastry not per package.  So 2 pastries is 380 calories.  That is a pretty high calorie count, but it is 20 calories less than the regular Pop Tarts.  The fat content is not terribly bad though.

As for taste they are a lttle less sweet than regular Pop Tarts and not quite as tasty, but they are OK. They are not something I would crave, but they would do in a pinch if I was in a hurry and needed to grab a quick breakfast.  I wouldn't be tempted to eat these as a snack, but as a quick breakfast the taste is acceptable. 

So I really like the fiber content, but I hate that there is so much sugar. But since these are a bit healhier than the regular ones I will eat these instead if I am running late in the morning.  I will continue to buy the regular ones for the kids since they don't have any weight or health issues, and since I don't think they would like these, because they would be comparing them to the regular Pop Tarts and would not like these as much. 

I do recommend these but not whole heartedly.
