Best granola bar for the kids? Help me settle the debate!

[shaunkeith]

Hey y'all. I’m a mom to two young boys (4 and 6 y/o) and I can’t keep the house stocked up enough with those Nature Valley bars that they love so much (you know the ones that come with two in a pack). But I dropped my older one off at soccer practice last week and the other moms were talking about Lara bars, Clif Z and Chewy, and I’m wondering if some are better than others? Or when you’d buy some for your kids vs. the others? Just want to feed my boys the best there is!

@shaunkeith The best ones are the ones that your kids like.

@shaunkeith Lara bars are supposed to be pretty good, only a few ingredients and all natural yada yada. But they are made with dates which to me makes them taste disgusting! Lol. But if y’all like dates you might give it a try.

@shaunkeith My husband buys them Chewy dips.

I prefer to make my own granola bars.

@katma Interesting. Do you keep a separate area in the pantry for your kids snacks vs. snacks you and your husband eat?

 

[katma]

@shaunkeith Yes we do. Though my husband buys too many snacks for the kids too.

@shaunkeith It might not be the easiest way to go, but you can make your own. Most homemade granola bars don't store as long, but if you have a vacuum sealer they'll probably store longer. There's recipes so over there Internet for them.
