Whole wheat flour, dried fruit, fruit puree, fruit juice concentrate, and whole grain oats, rye, and barley. Those are the main ingredients in Roman Meal 100% Whole Grain Snack Bars, which come in Cranberry Walnut, Oatmeal Raisin, and Apple Cinnamon.

 

Each bar has some 200 calories, but at least you will spend them on ingredients that belong in a kitchen. Other reasons to try them: the fiber (5 grams) and potassium (250-320mg, most of it from their fruit).

 

But the most compelling reason comes not from the label, but from what is inside it. Roman Meal makes one of the best tasting bars you can find.  The only problem: you may have trouble finding them. So far, the only major supermarkets that carry them are Krogers and Ralphs.
