The Why: It might not be water cooler talk or the most popular dinner time conversation... but most of us have diets sorely lacking in fiber.  With 12 grams of fiber per bar (25 grams a day is recommended), Gnu Bars make it super easy to get in your daily dose.  They're low in calories, and they don't contain any artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives. 

The Health Bonus: Just one Gnu Bar provides almost half of your daily fiber requirements. 

What We Liked Best: The Banana Walnut flavor is great, but there wasn't really a flavor that we didn't like.  They were all fresh and different.

What We Liked Least: For those with stomachs that can't take the high fiber (psyllium) - watch out!  The high fiber content can do a number on your digestive system.

The Price: $1.99 per bar
