Leclerc 100 calorie bars The main ingredient in these bars is whole wheat and they’re made with whole grains, as well. The raspberry and vanilla bars are our favourite, as they are delicious and have the least amount of sodium. The caloric content is also very reasonable, as is the amount of sugar. |

Blue Menu bars from President’s Choice These bars are a great source of fibre, with 5 grams per bar. Their apple and cinnamon flavour is overall delicious, but a little too sweet given the 25 grams of sugar. However, their protein levels are high for a low amount of calories.

Sweet and Salty Chewy Nut Bars by President’s Choice Calories: 160
Fat: 7 g
Sugar: 22 g
Sodium: 115 mg
Protein: 3 g
These bars have more fat content than any of the other bars we tried, in large part due to the cashews. Their salt content is also very high, but they contain 3 grams of protein. An interesting taste, but only for those who enjoy putting sweet and salty together. |

All-Bran Cereal Bars (Original flavour) Calories: 130
Fat: 6 g
Sugar: 20 g
Sodium: 85 mg
Protein: 2 g
These bars contain a good amount of fibre (4 g per bar), but they also have a large amount of fat. Although bland (could have used a fruit filling), they are still tasty. All-Bran cereal is a better—and healthier—alternative to these bars made with white flour. |
