Oskri? Oskri?

Oskri bars? Hehe. The name reminds me of ostriches for some reason, which makes me feel silly. A week or so ago, Amazon had a goldbox deal on Oskri bars! I was running low on granola bars and the reviews and nutritionals seemed good, so I went ahead and ordered some, which was one of the best shopping decisions I've made recently. (As for my other shopping decisions? I think the word 'excessive' sums up this month).
The bars are a lot bigger than I thought they'd be--they're wide and flat, which makes them look HUGE compared to grocery store bars. I also didn't realize I'd be getting a 20 bar box cuz apparently I don't read, but I'm soo happy that there are 20! I think these are a delicious low calorie snack. They're 140 cals per bar with a whopping 12g of fiber. I would say they're fairly filling for a "bar" type snack (as opposed to, say, 100 calories worth of fresh strawberries or sliced cucumber, etc). The bar is mostly made out of what seems to be puffed rice mixed with dried cranberries and cashew bits. It's a nice sweetness--not extremely sweet but not bland either. I was originally planning to just eat them this month, but after eating 3 bars in the past few days, I'm hooked and am probably going to use Oskri bars as my main bar! Has anyone else tried these? What flavor should I get next?

By the way, I edited my About Me page a little bit! Nothing that exciting though :)

  2. FiberOne cereal is sooo filling! I don't like the way it tastes though--I don't hate it, I just don't "crave" it! I should buy some though--it's a great yogurt topper! I forgot about that, lol.
