Are You Getting Enough Fiber? *Giveaway*

Posted by 142 Comments

This giveaway is now closed.  Thanks for stopping by.  The winner is Lauralee H.  Congrats!

Do you know how much fiber you need in one day?   To be honest, I had to look it up (approximately 25-35 grams per day).  And, I’m not entirely certain I am consuming that amount, despite the fact that I have almost completely eliminated white flour from my diet.

fiberonetoasterpastryIn August, I attended a General Mills event which included the biggest taste test I’ve yet to participate in.  I remember sampling a Fiber One Toaster Pastry and thinking to myself, there is no way one pastry could contain 20% of the RDA for fiber.  It tasted too good to be true.  I have to admit that I haven’t had a toaster pastry in any form in a very long time.  But these pastries, fiber and all, are really good.

fiber_oneI made the switch from white to whole grain many years ago.  And I’m usually pretty good, except when I’m pregnant and craving sourdough bread!  Many whole grain products are tasty…and many are as dry as cardboard.This is my first experience with Fiber One but I’m interested in checking out the entire line, particularly since they contain more fiber than most products.  Here is a little more information about Fiber One Toaster Pastries from the site:

Fiber One Toaster Pastries come in four great-tasting varieties that the whole family can enjoy, including Blueberry, Brown Sugar Cinnamon, Chocolate Fudge and Strawberry. With 20% of your Daily Value of fiber (5 grams), you can enjoy a great-tasting toaster pastry, while getting more of the fiber you need.

I’m always curious about the whole nutritional package.  Each pastry contains 180 calories, 4 grams of fat, and 16 grams of sugar (3 Weight Watchers’ Points).  They also contain high fructose corn syrup which I was a little disappointed about.  Overall, they taste good and offer those of you who are on the run a quick way to get in your fiber! Find them at retailers nationwide in Blueberry, Brown Sugar Cinnamon, Chocolate Fudge, and Strawberry.

  6. I love fiber one chewy bars. Fiber one cereal was recommended to me by my physician, for a colon disease that I have.

  34. The Fiber one Chocolate mocha bars has me interested- next time I go to the grocery store, i’ll look for them. Too bad there aren’t any coupons available, though.

  49. Actually in my case it’s a tie between two of their Fiber One products,
    the Fiber One Strawberry yogurt, which is only 50 calories and delicious, and the other favorite is the Fiber One Oats and Chocolate Bar with 140 calories, when I’m craving chocolate.

  86. I have always been a huge fan of the Fiber One granola bars—all flavors. My boyfriend even likes them and he’s a meat and potatoes, pizza and pasta kinda guy.

  89. I like their granola bars a whole lot, but too many Fiber One toaster pastries and your breakfast will really be “On the Go”. There’s a reason they’ve got the nickname “Poop Tarts”!
