I was getting tired of Kashi and wanted to try something new, so since I had a coupon, I decided to get South Beach Living Protein Fit Cranberry Almond cereal bar.  I figured, it's South Beach Living, which is a diet, so it MUST be healthy. WRONG! I like having the bars in the morning with my coffee, which can be pretty early (about 5:30 or 6:00am).  When I bit into this thing, I was overwhelmed by a sicky-sweet flavor.  It was way too sweet for my tastes and not at all what I was expecting.  So I look on the ingredients and there it is: Syrup, sugar, and further down the line corn syrup (aka. high fructose corn syrup).  No wonder it was sicky sweet!  I should have looked at the ingredients first, before blindly buying it, but I didn't think it was necessary since it was supposed to be a DIET product.  Yah, right. I am not dieting, I am trying to eat healthy.  I am trying to cut out all this extra flavoring and sugars that are freely added to so many foods on the market.  I will NEVER take it for granted again that just because a product is put out by a diet company, that it contains healthy ingredients.  They may be healthier than some of the other choices out there, but I, for one, will choose not to have this product again and opt for products that are actually healthy.

I first heard about the greatness of Kraft's South Beach Living High Protein Cereal Bars from my aunt who had decided who had for the uptith time to go on a diet.  Now, I had seen these bars on the market before but had never tried them. After hearing her praises, I thought it would be a great time to give them a try. I opted for the Chocolate flavored ones(me & my sweet tooth) and I must say I was happily surprised.  They were sweet tasting and very satisfying.  I was very impressed at how great this product tasted. I only wished that I had tried it sooner in stead of waiting for so long.Those who would benefit from this product are those who are seriously trying to loose weight. It makes for a great snack or complete meal replacement when doing calorie restriction diets. You will find yourself wanting more and willing to try other flavors. The downside to these, is there are only five to a box and they can be a bit pricey.  Average cost if about two to three bucks a box.  So on a taste level, its fantastic.  In terms of pricing its toward the bottom.

South Beach Living High Protein Cereal Bars are a reasonable choice for the average on-the-go person trying to make healthier snacking choices. These protein bars will help satisfy a sweet tooth while providing enough protein and fiber to address mid-day hunger and energy needs. They are not, however, optimal for the "fitness fanatic." Those trying to build muscle mass would likely want to see an increase in grams of protein, and a decrease in grams of carbohydrates and sugars. In summary, South Beach Living High Protein Cereal Bars are a smart choice for the average on-the-go person trying to make healthier snack decisions on a daily basis.
