South Beach Diet: High Protein Cereal Bars
Review
From LoveToKnow Diet
Kraft has launched a line of South Beach Diet food products, targeted at people following Dr. Agatston's popular South Beach Diet plan. The plan emphasizes consumption of lean proteins and high fiber carbs, and the South Beach products are designed to help dieters find this balance in their food choices.
South Beach Cereal Bars
The South Beach High Protein Cereal bars come in several flavors:
- Chocolate
- Peanut Butter
- Maple Nut
- Cranberry Almond
- Cinnamon Raisin
Packed With Protein
Each bar is a single 35 gram serving and contains 10 grams of protein and 7 grams of sugar. This is more than 3 times the protein in several of the leading cereal bars. The protein largely comes from the first ingredient – soy!
South Beach Phases
The bars are intended for use in Phases 2 and 3 of the South Beach Diet plan.
Tasting the Chocolate South Beach
The flavor of the chocolate cereal bars is fairly good. The chocolate has enough intensity to satisfy a chocolate craving, without being heavy or overly rich. The texture is crunchy and light, although it is a little on the dry side. Like many of the cereal and protein bars on the market, you don't want to eat this without having a handy drink. It also has a very slight chalky after-taste, typical of many products that use a lot of soy protein.
Nutrition Information
Each chocolate cereal bar has:
- 140 Calories
- 5 g fat (3.5 saturated, no trans fat)
- 15 g Carbohydrates (3 g dietary fiber, 7 g sugars, 3g sugar alcohol)
- 10 g Protein

Hi Lindsay,
I hadn't hear that before. Any idea what the hard ingredient would be?

-- Contributed by: Donna SundbladThe Southbeach high protien cereal bars seem to have poor ingrediants. The actual flavor is good, but there are bits and peices in the bars that are hard as a rock. I'm talking break your teeth, unedible hard.I tried 3 boxes hoping I just got a bad bunch, but they were all like that. It made me wonder if the people making/distributing this product even ate it before they put it on the shelves!

Thanks so much for your input. For people who are gluten intolerant that is good news!
