• We analyzed 230 popular granola bars by their nutrition labels to figure out which are the most healthy.
• Ideally, bars should not contain added sugar or more than 2.6 grams of saturated fat and should contain around 5 grams each of fiber, protein, and fat.
• We found the RXBar to be the healthiest brand overall, with two KIND Bar flavors coming in a close second.
• Some of the most unhealthy bars were flavors of LÄRABAR, Nature Valley, and KIND.

In September 2017, Time magazine spoke to nutrition experts Andy Bellatti (registered dietitian), Keith Ayoob (associate professor of pediatrics), and Erin Palinski-Wade (registered dietitian) about the relative healthiness of the granola bars we can buy today.

Those three experts spelled out some ground rules to help health-conscious consumers like you and me evaluate what we see at the store to make better decisions.See the rest of the story at Business Insider
