PRODUCT: Kraft MilkBite Bars
|
Just when you thought that America had all the granola bars it needed (see our review of the best granola bars), Kraft Foods has launched Kraft MilkBite milk and granola bars, a welcome addition.
One bar provides 30% daily value of calcium. If you can get the kids to drink a glass of milk along with a MilkBite, it’s a win-win. The only challenge is portability: These are not grab-and-go bars, but grab-from-the-fridge bars. The milk content requires refrigeration, because their innovation is that they contain enough real milk and calcium equivalent to an eight-ounce glass of milk. Despite the fact that our fridge is always space-challenged (when you review food for a living, you get used to cramming items into every square inch), we’ve made room for these tasty snacks. The 140-calorie bars (33g) have 3g fiber, 5g protein, 5g fat and 10g sugar. So how do they taste? |

Where To Find MilkBites Look for MilkBites in the dairy aisle or refrigerated case at your market. The bars contain no high fructose corn syrup, artificial flavors/colors or preservatives. If you pack your lunch with an ice pack, MilkBite bars can be a regular snack. Otherwise, you may have to confine the enjoyment to home. If you have a fridge at work, beware: MilkBites won’t last 10 minutes unless you store them in a repurposed sauerkraut can. Open the can from the bottom and stick it at the back of the shelf; no one will go near it.
