LoveisJoy says "I Simply Love the Oats and Cashews in a Multigrain Granola Bar" about Quaker - Simple Harvest Chewy Granola Bars

There are two foods that I obsessively enjoy. One is salted cashews, and the other is oatmeal. Any product that combines both cashews and oatmeal is a must-try snack for me. Every morning, I'm munching on a cereal that is either made of oat flakes or contains granola oat clusters. Every evening, I'm snacking on a handful of cashews mixed with Craisins. So that just goes to show you how much I looked forward to trying the Quaker Simple Harvest Multigrain Chewy Granola Bar - Honey Roasted Nut flavor.

In a nutshell, this all natural granola bar is made from oat, wheat, and barley, along with crisp rice, cashews, peanuts, pecans, molasses and honey. At 160 calories per bar (60 calories from fat), it's not the healthiest snack you can eat, but it's better than consuming a Snickers bar, or a square of fudge brownie with walnuts (another favorite of mine).

The taste was not monumental by any means, but it was satisfying with a full flavor. I enjoyed the combination of the sweetness...

EpicDream says "Great granola bar and tasty flavor, but not "healthy"" about Quaker - Simple Harvest Chewy Granola Bars

I received a free sample of the Cinammon Brown Sugar (w/ apples & cranberries) flavor and was very impressed by it. I don't usually like Quaker's granola bars (Chewy), because I find them too sticky and sweet. But this bar avoided those flaws. I could clearly taste the apples and cranberries, and the cinammon complemented these fruits very well. The bar also has all natural ingredients, which is definitely a plus.

The only complaint I have is that there is still too much sugar and calories (10g, 140 cal) for a "healthy" snack of this size. I'm picky about the amount of sugar in snacks, and in my opinion such snacks are more delicious without the unnecessary sugar. That's just my taste preference, but I still highly recommend this product....

richelmore says "Delicious and natural!" about Quaker - Simple Harvest Chewy Granola Bars

To begin, let me state that I am an oatmeal freak. I love the stuff and constantly find ways to incorporate it into foods that might not necessarily need that extra oatiness that I so crave. Naturally, whenever there is granola to be had, I take full advantage. The same can be said for granola bars.

I recently acquired a tasty little oat-based morsel in Quaker's new Simple Harvest line. The flavor of choice was "cinnamon brown sugar with apples and cranberries." Tastewise, this is my thing. Those are all some of my favorite flavors. Nutritionally, I really don't have many complaints. One little bar touts a 140-calorite label (25 from fat), 3g of fat (0g sat), 90mg sodium, 28g carb, 2g fiber, 10g sugar, and 2g protein. Compared to other granola bars, this seems pretty average.

On a slightly confusing note, though, the label misrepresents the amount of fiber TWICE. It says, in a written description, that there are 3g of fiber in each serving (not true--2g) and that that provides 10% of the...

DustyAnna says "The chocolate ones are amazing!" about Quaker - Simple Harvest Chewy Granola Bars

I love these Simple Harvest chewy granola bars! First off they are healthy. If you look at the indgredients you will not see high fructose corn syrup. You will see healthier, more natural ingredients like brown sugar. I've tried the apple cinnamon and the dark chocolate and they are both good. However I would define the chocolate one as more than good, it is amazing! If kept at room temperature, the chocolate chunks stay whole and have a nice chewiness to them (and I just love chocolate). The prices aren't too bad either. Most boxes have a $1 coupon inside and if you buy them somewhere like Wal-Mart the price is very reasonable....

stef42678 says "Healthy Chocolate Treat" about Quaker - Simple Harvest Chewy Granola Bars

stef42678 — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 10:20:23 GMT

I am not much into breakfast so when I need something it must be easy and quick, so I usually grab a granola bar. I like to eat healthy so many times I find granola bars sacrifice taste and quality for lower calories and fat, but not this one. These new Simple Harvest granola bars have a great taste and are good for you. Each bar is only 150 calories with 4.5 grams of fat so they are a healthy choice. The Dark Chocolate variety is a great way to get a little chocolate for breakfast that is good for you. Each bar has the taste of oats and grains with the sweetness of chocolate. The bars also come in a cinnamon variety or roasted nut, but this type is my favorite. The bars come boxed and are a little expensive, but worth the higher price. I like these new bars and it is a great way to eat a healthy and delicious breakfast....

summergirl says "just to dry for me" about Quaker - Simple Harvest Chewy Granola Bars

summergirl — Thu, 08 May 2008 17:57:46 GMT

Okay since it was a free sample I thought I'll give it a try. The special K bar is so good I thought maybe the Quaker simple harvest bar would be good. Uh no. Wrong. So dry and just not for me. I tried the chocolate chunk....

shadaram says "A healthier way to get my chocolate" about Quaker - Simple Harvest Chewy Granola Bars

shadaram — Wed, 07 May 2008 02:48:56 GMT

I got a sample of Quaker Oats Simple Harvest Dark Chocolate Chunk, so decided to give this a try. I am trying to eat better, but leery of all the new granola bars, energy bars, etc, because most taste like cardboard, but this one was different. It was chewy, and had wonderful dark chocolate chunks. The granola was great in itself. I am not really a dark chocolate kind of girl, but it really works with the granola. I went out and bought a box, and was still pleased. These make a great snack. They are sweet, but have ingredients that are good for you.

Each bar is made of all natural ingredients, such as oats, barley, and wheat. Now, they aren't the lowest calorie/fat snack, but much better than many out there. On this particular bar, you get 150 calories and 4.5g of fat. One box has 6 bars, so they are great to have around for that occasional snack. They are also available in Honey roasted nut and Cinnamon brown sugar with apples and cranberries. They are worth trying, especially if you......

edalejrfan says "My favorite granola bar" about Quaker - Simple Harvest Chewy Granola Bars

edalejrfan — Fri, 02 May 2008 05:00:32 GMT

I absolutely love these bars. I buy the dark chocolate chunk flavor. I usually don't eat dark chocolate but the chocolate in these is delicious.

You get 6 bars in a box. A few of the ingredients are, whole grain rolled oats, semisweet chocolate chunks, crisp rice, honey, whole grain rolled barley, whole grain rolled wheat, and soybean oil. Each bar has, 150 calories, 4.5 g of total fat, 0mg of cholesterol, 26g total carbohydrates, 2g dietary fiber, and 2g protein.

The only downside is that they are a bit more costly than other bars. Make sure you look inside your box, the ones I have gotten have all had a $1 off coupon on the inside of the box.

cissy says "Healthy multigrain snack" about Quaker - Simple Harvest Chewy Granola Bars

cissy — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 23:39:39 GMT

I've only tried the Honey Roasted Nut flavor, but was not very impressed with this granola bar. At 160 calories per bar, I would have expected more flavor. Though it has a lot of healthy ingredients (rolled oats, whole grain barley, cashews, and pecans), it seems overly salty to me. I'm glad I had a coupon on this so I didn't pay full price. It is not likely that I will buy this granola bar again, at least not in this flavor....
