Even though Nutri-Grain bars are certified cereal bars, their low count of saturated fats makes them the ideal bars if you are looking to reduce your intake of the cholesterol causing fats. With 0.5 gram of saturated fat per serving, these bars are worthy snacks even if they don't (technically) contain granola.

Instead of being overwhelmed by the abounding options when searching for the perfect granola bar, use the above suggestions to grab the bar that works best for your snacking preferences.
