Best Chewy Energy Bar
Winner: Gnu Foods Flavor & Fiber Cinnamon Raisin
Delicious, raved testers. “Like an oatmeal cookie,” one said.
Dietitian’s Verdict: This snack is rich in fiber, which helps you feel full and curbs your appetite. (Contains 130 calories, four grams of protein, and 12 grams of fiber.)
To Buy: $2 for a 1.4-ounce bar.

Runner-Up: Clif Bar Chocolate Chip
Definitely tasty, but almost too chewy.
To Buy: $1.30 for a 1.7-ounce bar.
