If so, do you prefer the chewy or crunchy one? any reason why you prefer one over the other? Do you eat it because you find it yummy or just to satisfy your hunger? I find it very convenient especially when I'm so busy and have no time to prepare a meal or to dine out. How about you? Thank you in advance.

I don't usually eat granola bars as a whole meal - but they're good as snacks in between meals, wouldn't you say? I usually will eat them (or health/protein bars) in between classes or while I'm at work.

I agree with you, maezee...it's more of a snack. But I often eat one for breakfast as I am usually in a hurry. Thanks for your post. Have a happy weekend!

I am more likely to eat a granola bar and a piece of fruit if I cannot stop for lunch on a work day. I have one and a bottle of water and a piece of fruit, like an apple or orange in my purse almost all of the time.

I like granola bars. I like both chewy and crunchy ones.. I eat them because I do find that most of them are pretty good. I also eat them just to satisfy my hunger and because they are easy and can be eaten on the go.. and i eat them because they are low in fat and calories usually, i guess that depends on the kind you buy.

I like granola bars. I prefer the chewy ones to the crunchy ones. My kids love them too. I will sometimes put one in my son's lunch bag to go along with the rest of his lunch as his desert. I also like to take them in the car or to the zoo for a quick snack.

I love granola bars. I prefer the chewy ones because I don't want to have to feel like I'm breaking teeth lol. I wouldn't say they satisfy my hunger though. I always end up eating three of them at one sitting, which I suppose defeats the purpose when they are typically 100 calories per bar. Oh well, they are good none the less. Namaste-Anora

Hello, Anora. I felt that way,too,the first time I ate the crunchy bars but after two or three bites, it was much easier. I usually eat two bars when I'm starved. Thanks so much for your response. Happy weekend.

I like granola bars of all kinds. I find them to be a handy snack when I do not have time for a meal. It is premeasured and prewrapped. I will eat whatever kind is around. The dipped or coated ones seem really more like a dessert.I also like the chewy, and the crisp crunchy ones.

I prefer the chewy ones with chocolate chips. It also can't have huge chunks of nuts. I really dislike nuts. And no coconut. They make a nice snack at work to hold me until I get home and can get something real. I found a new one at Dominick's by Eating Right. It was Apricot with yogurt coating on the bottom. Very delicious!

Hi Trace. I'm also not into nuts and coconut myself. The apricot with yogurt coating sounds very interesting. I'll make sure to check it out the next time I do my groceries. Thanks for this and Have a great weekend!

I do like granola bars. I prefer the chewy ones because the crunchy are so hard to chew, they make my jaw hurt. These are great for snacks, we take them when we are going hiking or some other outdoor activity. I have also eaten one for breakfast when I'm in a rush.

I do like granola bars, the chewy ones. The cruchy ones are hard for me to chew, so I donlt eat them much at all. I think that they are healthy and convienent snacks for us when we are on the go. One fills me up, but, the rest of my family seems to have t eat 2 to get much satisfaction!

I love to eat the chewy chocolate chip ones. Though, I don't induldge in them daily or weekly, the once in a while snack or a quick lunch is great. My 6 year old son loves them for breakfast, but don't get them.

That's my daughter's favorite,too. She eats it for breakfast whenever we're running late for school. Thanks for posting, Jae. Happy weekend!
