Battle of the low carb cranberry almond breakfast bars!!! Posted by Hello

On the top, clocking in at a light 1.0 oz is the Merry Dutchman's entry (Quaker Oats). Thin and colored lightly brown with a non-descript frosting, the cranberries are hard to find and it isn't very crunchy. Odd title - Q-smart? What's the Q stand for? Quickly through the intestines? Quietly down the gullet? But, for the true dieter, it's the choice at only 3 grams.

And in the bottom corner, from our good genetically enhanced friends at Post, it's Carbwell, a 1.23 Oz crunchy pile of smiles, reminiscent of those Rice Krispie bars your Mom used to make when you had friends over (which in my case was like twice, good times, good times...). The cranberries and almonds can clearly be discerned among the soy nuggets and tricalcium phosphate. Has a nice bouquet, too.

The choice for those controlling carbs: Post's Carbwell and for those truly dieting, well, I'm sorry your SOL when it comes to cranberry almond bars.
