Has anyone tried these bars? I like to eat these before I go to the gym. They are available in the UK and I'm assuming US as well. They are very tasty but I'm starting to wonder how healthy it is. I usually get fooled by the 'made with wholegrain oats' label.

    They are mostly carbs. I'll eat them in a pinch, but they seem to be relatively high calorie ~200 compared to say a banana at ~100 calories.

    I wouldn't call them healthy but they are a slightly better option for a sweet treat compared to a candy bar. Anything with that much added sugar should NEVER be considered healthy.
