WHAT: Fiber One Soft Baked Cookies
STATS: Vary slightly by flavor. One Oatmeal Raisin cookie contains about 120 calories and 4 fat, 22 carb, 5 fiber and about 1 protein grams. Full nutrition information at fiberone.com/products/cookies. We found them at Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market, 2510 Cantrell Road, Little Rock.
THE SKINNY: Shouldn't Fiber One be about Fiber 50 by now?
After all, the brand boasts a wide assortment of products including cereal, bars, brownies, fruit-flavored snacks, pancake and muffin mixes, breads and cottage cheese.
But still it has managed to find one more thing to fiber-ize: cookies.
New individually wrapped Fiber One Soft Baked Cookies, sold in boxes of six, come in three flavors: Oatmeal Raisin, Chocolate Chunk and Double Chocolate. The good-size cookies have a decent taste, texture and chew ... for the calories.
Then again, we'd much prefer one buttery Subway cookie (about 220 calories) than two of these.
