Quaker Real Medleys Cherry Pistachio Fruit & Nut Multigrain Bars


I've tried the real medley oatmeals before, but i wanted to try the bars, i had also found a coupon to get it. I'm not really too much of a bar snacker, like i'll eat them, but i'd much rather have something else instead.

This is the only one of the bars i've tried so far they also have Apple Nut Harvest and Peach Almond. I found that the bars didn't seem to hold as well as other bars, like granola bars or nature vallery sweet and salty nut bars. It could be a good thing though, meaning it's not just coated in sugar or compressed a lot to hold it together.


Taste wise, it was pretty good. The cherries weren't overly sweetened to where you got a tart taste to it, like real dried cherries give off. It did feel like i was eating healthier eating it than if i ate a granola bar. As to exactly how healthy it is, i haven't looked too far into that to know. I'm not even exactly sure if 170 calories is that great for a bar. It's the same amount of calories as the nature valley's sweet and salty bars, but this one is probably better in the long run since it's not just coated in sugar, again, i haven't dived in too much to know the exact comparisons. And burning off the 170 isn't really that hard, i had done a short, maybe 30 minutes, walk with my daughter and had it pretty much burned off, if i'm remembering correctly.

Hopefully that is alright to read.
so i went and looked at the amount of sugar between these and the nature valley's bar, they have the same amount of sugar, so i guess it basically comes down to not exactly how much of stuff is in them, but to what is in it. i wasn't exactly sure what all was in the nature valley one, some of the stuff i wasn't sure what it was. i know what most of what is in this medley bar. Looking again at the labels, looks like this one has less sodium and carbs than the nature valley....would be much easier to compare if i actually had the two next to me...which i'm not even sure to why i'm not doing that lol.


I want to still try the other bars, but would depend on if i have the money at the time i remember to buy them...or if i find them. My mom found them on her shopping trip, and sometimes stores hardly carry other flavors, or they might just get bought out before we get there lol.
