Snack bars are often
a popular morning
or afternoon tea option.
However, many that are
available in the supermarket are
made from highly processed
ingredients and can be laden
with added sugars and fats.
When choosing a healthier
snack bar, look for those which
are made with whole grains
and also contain:- No more than 550kJ
per serve; - Less than 10g total fat per
100g, with less than a third
of that being saturated fat; - Less than 200mg
sodium per 100g; and - Preferably, at least 3g fibre
per serve (unfortunately
fibre is not always listed). ■
They’re such an easy snack to
grab on the go, but which bars
are actually better for you?
