Product Information

Below, I’ll look at the sugar content of two of Nature Valley’s most popular product lines. I’ll also dive into protein content, fiber, overall ingredient quality, and much more! Are Nature Valley Bars Good for You? Most of the bars also contain palm oil and shea vegetable fats. Palm oil has been in the news recently due to concerns about the impact of palm oil production on the environment, which might be an ethical decision for some people who chose not to consume products which contain palm oil. Calories in Nature Valley bars Nature’s Bakery Fig Bars are Vegan, Non-GMO Verified, and Kosher Pareve Certified. Family Business Success: Nature’s Bakery & The Mars Family The main ingredient, which forms up to 59% of the Nature Valley Crunchy bar, is wholegrain rolled oats. Wholegrain rolled oats are a source of plant-based protein and provide a good source of fibre, making the choice of oats a healthy and filling option. Apple Crisp: A delicious blend of crunchy oats and apple pieces, reminiscent of homemade apple crisp.

Personally as a vegan, I have always gone for the Fruit & Nut bars or the Peanut Butter flavor of the Crunchy Granola Bars. However, I don’t eat Nature Valley bars very often. I prefer No Cow Bars. Two More Recommendations for Your Plant-Based Journey Here’s a list showing roughly how much fiber you can expect per serving from each of the Nature Valley product lines: You start by combining the peanut butter, oil, honey, vanilla, and flaxseed meal, and warming up the mixture either on the stovetop or in the microwave. You’re not trying to cook this, but rather briefly warm it up so it’s pourable. Unfortunately, most Nature Valley Bars don’t have much fiber or water. The Crunchy Granola Bars only have 2 grams of fiber per serving. That’s only half of the fiber in a half cup of rolled oats. They contain nuts. Both of these bars have peanuts or peanut butter. Technically, peanuts are legumes, not nuts. But they have most of the same health benefits as nuts (as long as you’re not allergic).

Nature Valley Crunchy bars are available in seven different flavors, each offering a unique taste experience. These flavors are:They contain processed oil. Both of these bars have canola oil, which is not the worst oil—but it’s not the best either. It is typically highly processed, using hexane and extreme heat. If a product has ‘nature’ in the title, is easy to believe it will be good for you. But that is not always the case. The bar does have its benefits with the Protein bar range scoring highly for protein and the Almond Nut Butter range providing a better option than the bars containing peanuts. Another plus point is the use of wholegrains for the base of the Crunchy range which provide fibre. The Sweet and Salty Nut bars are unfortunately high in fructose corn syrup and use palm kernel oil which is a processed saturated fat. Nut Butter Biscuits – More of a Hob-Nob style biscuit than a traditional granola bar. Nut butter is created by blending almonds into a smooth paste and offers cholesterol-fighting properties.
