Deer Field Farms Chewy Granola Bars: Review

If you frequently shop at Walgreen's you are probably familiar with the Deer field Farms brand of products. Recently I purchased a package of ten chewy chocolate chunk granola bars made by Deer field Farms at Walgreen's In this review I will focus on this store brand of chewy granola bars as compared to the national brand Quaker chewy granola bars, in an effort to help consumers make an informed decision about purchasing the best chewy granola bars for their money.

Deer field Farms chewy granola bars in chocolate chunk flavor are a low calorie and low fat snack option. Each bar contains 90 calories, 2 grams of fat and no cholesterol. These tasty store brand chewy granola bars do contain 1 gram of dietary fiber, iron, calcium and protein. Not only do they taste great, but they are better for you than many other snack options such as potato chips or cookies. Deer field Farms chewy chocolate chunk granola bars are not too hard, they are not too sweet and they are just the right size for packing in lunches or as a snack on the go. The chocolate chunk flavor will appeal to kids and adults alike.

I think when compared to Quaker chewy granola bars the two brands are very similar in portion, nutritional content and flavor. The Deer field farms brand is naturally less expensive normally. I paid $1.19 for my box, which had a suggested retail price of $1.99. At my local Kroger's grocery store the Quaker chewy granola bars average $2.39 per box. Granted there are not as many flavor options available from Deer field Farms at Walgreen. The chocolate chunk flavor is quite good, and I feel I got a fantastic deal on this product. It is a great way to indulge in a sweet treat without feeling guilty about it. Deer field Farms chewy chocolate chunk granola bars contain whole grain rolled oats, which in my opinion is an added bonus.

I will purchase this store brand product again, and I would also recommend it to others, should they be lucky enough to get a deal on Deer field Farms chewy granola bars at their local Walgreen's store. Granola bars are a good source of calcium and a fun way to consume more whole grains. They make a great addition to any lunch, after school snack or breakfast on the run. I also believe granola bars are a fantastic alternative to candy bars as they are healthier and contain less sugar.
