Kellogg's - Special K Fruit Crisps

Compliment

Rating: StarStarStarStarStar
I was looking for a healthy breakfast snack to bring to work and I saw a box of Special K Fruit Crisps. I decided to buy a box of the strawberry kind. I am so glad I did! They taste just like Pop Tarts.

Each pack comes with 2 bars and are a total of 100 calories per pack. That's way less than a packet of Pop Tarts.

The only downside is that the bars are not as big as a Pop Tart. I've been pairing the bars with some cottage cheese or yogurt and fruit. If you like Pop Tarts, but want to save on calories and carbs, I would recommend these Fruit Crisps. They also come in blueberry and chocolate flavors.

They're good but expensive. I believe there's five in a box and cost around $3.00 - $3.29 at the local supermarket.

Bill, there are 5 packets per box. I paid under $3 for a box at Walmart.

Actually gram for gram it has almost the exact same calorie count as Kellog's Frosted strawberry pop tarts. Half a pop tart equals two crisps and half a pop tart has 100 calories.

Holy smokes though I never realized how many calories pop tarts contained. Thanks for the info Miss Shorty.

Churro, who eats half a pop tart?

Have to check in with the cardio boss to see if these little treats are allowed or not. Thanks for the heads up!

Sounds good, Shorty! We just finished a box of Special K bars of some sort (strawberry) and they were good and convenient. We'll give these a try, next. Since the calories are probably less than what I'd get if I went mad dog on a cheese cake, I don't have any worries about them. Sometimes I want a little something sweet. I'll bet the metformin and januvia can handle one of these just fine.

Wasnt there a similar product reviewed a while back?

MRM, not by me. Unless you're referring to my review on Kellogg's fiber bars
Posted by MRM on 2012-05-30:
Thats what I was thinking of, the fiber bar.

I wouldn't consider them to be similar products

And they are Kosher Dairy too...

I didn't know they were Kosher

And now you do! ;)

I just read that on their website. You can get a box of 40 for $14.95 on Amazon....and is free shipping eligible...I think you have to have an order of $25.00 though.

Sounds good LS. I'm on a calorie quest at the moment, but will keep these in mind for the future.
