Calorie Bargain: Wha Guru Chews

The Why: Smothered-- It's almost a dirty word. It's reminiscent of a time in our lives when we used to be able to chow down anything, smothered in butter, syrup, gravy, fudge... So it's not every day that us "healthy eaters" get to bite into something "smothered"-but today is our lucky day. 

They are sort of like and all natural Powerbar-soft and chewy, and full of lots of fresh nut crunch and flavor.  Not only that, every ingredient on the label is readable, without a Ph.D. in chemistry. Figures something so perfect would come from a company called Golden Temple of Oregon-founded by a "Yogi", no less.

The Health Bonus: Wha Guru Chews are all natural, handmade, vegan--and portable.

What We Liked Best: The taste isoff the charts, and they are only 160-190 calories--a great value.

What We Liked Least: They make your fingers a little sticky--don't forget the Wet Ones!

The Price: About $1.00 each
