SBD/Kraft granola and trail mix!

I was just on the Kraft/SBD Healthy Living site:  http://www.kraftfoods.com/SouthBeachLiving//CMS_Templates/IFrame_Template.aspx


I clicked on "new products" and saw two kinds of SBD granola (in packets), a trail mix, and chocolate-covered soy nuts.  These snacks look so good!  Most of these have ingredients lists and nutritional panels available to view. 


I've already been making homemade trail mix for some time.  When I was a member of the official SBD site I passed this by the nutritionist who indicated my trail mix was fine.    Also, I've been using very low-sugar granola occasionally, too.  In fact, the one I use has less sugar than the SBD granola packets.  ;-)


Has anyone seen these new treats in the stores yet?  Anybody tried any of them?

and as long as you count it as a grain, it's okay for phase 2 ers?

Both flavors of the drink mix are great...but a little too sweet for just 20oz. I've been adding 1 packet to my big 1 liter bottle and I like it better that way. It also encourages me to drink more.

The other thing I noticed about the SB granola is that it's just plain hard to eat. It's in big chunks and it's really hard/crunchy. I guess that just turned me off of them to start with. I have trouble biting anything hard like that due to dental work I had done in the past year. So biting hard/really chewy stuff is out of the question unless I want to follow-up with a trip to the dentist. I avoid the crunchy Kashi TLC bars for the same reason. So aggravating. Ugh!!!

Kathy, What I do with my granola is mix it with other things because the fiber count is lower.

I also mix mine with things like Fiber One to up the fiber count per serving.

Often I am just using a couple tablespoons in yogurt though, so I don't really worry about it.

Hi to all,


Normally I am a lurker but wanted to respond to this post.


I have had the SBD Granola mix but I find it very hard (even in yogurt).

Hi iovethebeach,


I don't make my own granola, but I occasionally buy the one linked in post #5 of this thread.
