Calorie Bargain: Attune Bars Print E-mail

The Why: You may feel virtuous when you whip out your sports bar for a mid-day snack instead of making a pilgrimage to the vending machine, but unfortunately, many sports and "nutrition" bars are just full of junk.  Not so with Attune Bars, which have just 100 calories, are low in sugar, and are made with all-natural ingredients. Plus, they have "culture"...

The Health Bonus: These bars contain probiotics, which can help out your digestive tract and help your immune system if eaten regularly. (Each bar contains more than 5 times the live active cultures in yogurt.)

What We Liked Best: We were surprised that every flavor was great--there was no funny taste or texture. We love the fresh packaging, too

What We Liked Least: This product does contain milk and soy beans, so if you're allergic, beware.

The Price: $14.99 for 8 bars
