✦ Contains fibre from oats
✦ Free sugars from syrup and dried fruit
✦ Useful protein and iron
✦ Check label: many are high in sugar
Fruit and nut cereal bars without chocolate are often perceived as healthy snacks but vary widely in their sugar content. They typically contain oats, dried fruit, nuts, and a binding syrup, providing fibre, some protein, iron, and B vitamins alongside a significant quantity of free sugars from the syrup and dried fruit. Energy content is typically 350–450 kcal per 100g.

Preparation note
Check the label before assuming these are a healthy choice — many cereal bars have as much sugar as a chocolate bar. Choose bars where oats or nuts are the first ingredient and added syrups appear low on the ingredients list.
