LITTLE ROCK — WHAT: Quaker Life Soft Baked Bars
STATS: One bar contains 150 calories and 4 fat grams.
THE SKINNY: We were about to dismiss Quaker Life’s new creation as just another cereal bar when we noticed this suggestion on the packaging: “Try heating then eating.”
The Quaker Life Soft Baked Bars can be warmed in the microwave for 10 seconds, which actually helpsthe sweet, chewy products taste like their flavor names - Banana Walnut Bread and Cinnamon Roll Raisin Pecan (the second one has an icing glaze).
The 1.5-ounce bars aren’t big in size, but their 5 grams of f iber and 6 grams of protein make them seem more filling than some.
