I'm a fan of many Nature Valley Products, including the THE OATS 'N DARK CHOCOLATE CRUNCHY GRANOLA BAR and the Nature Valley's Dark Chocolate Soft Granola Bars so when I saw these Nature Valley Thins on
the shelf I really wanted to try them. They are available here in Israel in two flavors;
Whole Oates and Whole Oats with Peanuts. Both have a layer
of chocolate at the bottom. I bought both of them to try.

I will try to keep this a short post because there are tons of English reviews online for this product. Not only on “reviewer blogs” but since these Thins are sold on sites like Amazon many customers wrote quick reviews on those kinds of sites too; after they purchased/tried them.
Bottom
Line: I thought the Nature Valley Thins were very tasty. The peanut flavor was
present in the Thin that had added peanuts in it but it wasn’t over powering or
too strong. I thought the flavors all blended together very well.

I
would consider these Nature Valley Thins to be an “oatmeal cookie” not a
granola bar substitute. To me they are not as filling or satisfying as a granola
bar. I can’t use them to replace breakfast when I’m in a rush to leave; still it’s
a nice snack when I want a treat.
It’s
a bit of a messy cookie, it cracks easily and leaves crumbs like the Crunchy
Nature Valley Granola bars do. Aside from that, I also didn’t like that the
chocolate at the bottom was melted and got all over my fingers as I tried to
put the Thin in my mouth.
All
in all it was a tasty cookie but I think it has a few too many calories for a
product that claims to be “good for you”. 85 calories for a 17 gram cookie doesn’t
seem too “dietetic” to me. There are tasty granola bars available that are
about 90 calories which I find more filling than these Nature Valley Thin.

These are really good. I tried them when I was in Israel. Last I checked, the thin version with chocolate is not kosher in the U.S.- can't wait to get back to Israel and have them again!
ReplyDeleteGlad you got to try them and enjoy when you were here. I wonder why they are not kosher in the USA if they can make them Kosher here they should be able to make them Kosher in the USA too. Do they have Thins without chocolate that are Kosher in the USA?
DeleteI WISH they actually made these healthy, it drives me crazy when they call bars loaded with sugar healthy! Not to mention that eating chocolate before a workout (my main use for eating a health bar) gives me heartburn. I would love it if they had a peanut butter only option, but I guess they think chocolate sells more...
ReplyDeleteI totally agree I wish they really were healthy, like you said it's ridiculous how they call sugar filled bars good for you.
DeleteA peanut butter only option sounds great- I would love to try that, I think- but I am not sure, that they have such a bar in the USA but I have not seen it here, if so maybe it will come here at some point.
