Product Information

The low-FODMAP diet provides a wide range of options for satisfying your cravings for chocolate. Dark chocolate is the most popular option because it can be consumed in servings of up to three ounces without causing any side effects. In contrast, milk and white chocolate should be consumed in moderation, with a serving size of only half an ounce being recommended to avoid unpleasant side effects. Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line an 8×8” baking dish (See Note 3) with parchment paper, leaving a few inches of overhang, and lightly grease the paper with coconut oil. Set aside. Are Nature Valley Bars Good For Weight Gain? Nature Valley Bars could be effective for weight gain, as they are relatively high in calories. However, your overall calorie balance is what’s most important. To gain weight, try to increase your portion sizes and total calorie intake. These homemade peanut butter granola bars (inspired by Nature Valley’s) are the perfect way to satisfy that midday sweet craving. (This article has been updated from its original September 2017 version). These peanut butter granola bars are made with just 6 ingredients. They’ve got old-fashioned rolled oats (a great source of protein and fiber), natural peanut butter, coconut oil (you can use any oil), honey, vanilla, and flaxseed meal (ground flaxseeds), which act as a binder (you can also use chia seeds).

Unfortunately, most Nature Valley Bars don’t have much fiber or water. The Crunchy Granola Bars only have 2 grams of fiber per serving. That’s only half of the fiber in a half cup of rolled oats. Keep in mind that some of the sugar in Fruit & Nut bars is natural, from fruit. However, in most of the flavors, it’s only ~2 grams of sugar from fruit. The rest is from added sugar.

Fibre is key to maintaining a healthy digestive system. The government guidelines state that an average adult should consume 30g of fibre daily. Most adults, however, eat much less than this. If you want to increase the amount of fibre in your diet, the Nature Valley Protein bar in coconut and almond flavour is your best choice, with 5.1g of fibre per bar coming from the use of the wholegrain rolled oats.

Now that we got that out of the way, let’s start talking about how these bars can can help (or hinder) your hiking. But mainly, these bars offer several benefits that can enhance your experience. According to General Mills, many of their products, including Nature Valley bars, may contain genetically modified or bioengineered (BE) ingredients in the United States. They explain that if a food or beverage product lists ingredients such as corn, soy, canola, cottonseed, or beet sugar, and the product is not organic, it is likely to contain bioengineered ingredients. After reading the ingredients, I’m most concerned about the sugar content. So let’s look at that next. 2. Are Nature Valley Bars High In Sugar? Shape mixture into ball.
