I live on low calorie protein bars, bars with high fiber, and energy bars on a daily basis. I am working out and watching my food intake to get myself ready for Summer. I have been testing out tons of different bars and flavors and noticed Bobo’s Oat Bars in my local grocery and thought I’d give them a shot too. I contacted Bobo’s Oat Bars and they sent me a few samples of their product. Each bar was wheat free, vegan, non GM0 and made with organic ingredients.
I received Maple Pecan (my favorite), Peanut Butter and the original flavored bar. These bars taste great and are very filling but come packaged as a double serving. I don’t know about you, but I can’t make myself cut something like this in half in order to eat it in two different sittings. In order to control myself, I prefer to eat bars that only contain one serving in order to control the amount of calories I consume. I will purchase these bars from my grocery, but will only eat them on the days that I workout. I count Weight Watchers Points and each bar (2 servings) adds up to 8 points, which is way too many for me to use for a snack.
Here are the nutritional facts from the Maple Pecan Bar: (Gluten Free)

For high calorie burning athletes these would be great, but for me, I need someone to hide the extra bars in the cabinet until I am ready to plan my food intake for the day so I can fit in the extra Weight Watchers Points needed for the double serving.
Only three Bobo Oat Bar flavors are sold at my local grocery, make sure to check out their site to see them all.
