Granola bars are gradually taking over the snack industry, now that people are more mindful about the kinds of food they eat. Granola bars are typical snack or breakfast food intended for people on the go who want a fast energy boost as they keep up with the demands of their busy schedule throughout the day. Granola bars are generally made of cereals, usually oats and sometimes rice, mixed with nuts, honey, and dried fruit. There are several brands of granola bars in the market but they can also be made at home. A typical granola bar is high in energy and it contains ample amount of vitamins, minerals, proteins, carbohydrates, essential fatty acids, and phytochemicals, which are powerful antioxidants. They are also high in fiber, helping maintain regular normal bowel movements; lower cholesterol and decrease the risk of heart disease; normalize blood sugar; and reduce the risk of colon cancer and diabetes. Granola bars generally do not contain cholesterol, sodium, and saturated fats, which are substances often associated with certain diseases. Granola bars provide important benefits to one’s health including maintaining strong immune system, managing weight, and maintaining healthy skin, eyesight, teeth, and bones. Indeed, granola bars are a healthier snack food than cookies. There are more benefits gained when choosing granola bars instead of cookies, since cookies contain ingredients such as sugar, butter, and sometimes chocolates, which contain high levels of trans fats.
