Calorie Bargain: Wha Guru Chews

All-natural, vegan-friendly snack bars.

By Charles Stuart Platkin

Diet Detective

The Why: Smothered -- it's almost a dirty word. It's reminiscent of a time in our lives when we used to be able to chow down anything smothered in butter, syrup, gravy, fudge.... So it's not every day that "healthy eaters" get to bite into something "smothered" -- but today is our lucky day.

They're sort of like an all-natural Powerbar: soft and chewy, and full of lots of fresh nut crunch and flavor. Not only that, every ingredient on the label is readable without a PhD in chemistry. Figures something so perfect would come from a company called Golden Temple of Oregon -- founded by a yogi, no less.

The Health Bonus: Wha Guru Chews are all natural, handmade, vegan, and portable.

What We Liked Best: The taste is off the charts, and they're only 160-190 calories -- a great value.

What We Liked Least: They make your fingers a little sticky -- don't forget the Wet Ones!

What It Replaces: A candy bar or other energy bars.

The Price: About $1.00 each

They're available in four flavors: Sesame Almond, Almond Ginger, Cashew Almond, and Cashew Vanilla -- all nice and smothered in a special caramel to hold it all together.
