On the aisles of stores, especially the breakfast aisle, shoppers are bombarded with many types of granola bars.
Granola bars are popular as snacks, and some people eat them for breakfast. Companies have taken flavor, texture, and add-ons into account before making their bars to make them sell better.
One of the top brands that sell yummy granola bars is Quaker with its Chewy bars. These bars have- as mentioned- have a chewy consistency, with oats, brown sugar, chocolate chips, and brown rice crisp as the main ingredients.
The Chewy bars are extremely popular with kids and teenagers as they are easy to eat and fairly cheap for parents to buy.
Another popular granola bar is the Clif Bar. These bars started rising in the charts in the 90s when three flavors were released at a bike show. The Clif Bar is popular within the active community, from people who run to people who play football.
People are fond of this brand because its granola mixture contains high levels of carbohydrates, which gives energy to those who eat them. Along with the carbohydrates, the Clif Bar has a balanced sweet and savory mixture.
A few years ago, Nature Valley’s Oats & Honey bars were a favorite of shoppers. While their texture was crumbly, messy, and not a fun experience, the bars had a sweet taste. They have gotten less popular because other bars are less messy and have better flavor additives. To combat this, Nature Valley has released new flavors for its bars.
Now, people have the option to buy peanut butter-flavored granola bars with a peanut butter drizzle on top of them. Maple syrup is another addition to the flavor collection of Nature Valley bars.
Nutri-Grain is a breakfast bar made by Kellogg’s. These bars are different from the rest because they do not contain the typical granola that people are used to in bars. Instead, the bars have different flavored fillings with a soft, bready crust.
As granola bars keep rising in the economy, more flavors, types, and brands could pop up and take the lead in the most popular bars.
