If you’re on a strict workout regime and need to constantly feed your body protein, or need a dose of energy to keep you going for a few hours without investing in a long leisurely brunch: Cereal bars to the rescue. We don’t recommend substituting any meal with these, but it’s always good to keep one in your handbag for those emergency hunger scenarios.
#LBBPicks: Cereal Bars That We Love For Their Taste & Energy
MojoBar—Nutty Apricot
With promises of high fibre content and no preservatives, MojoBar’s Nutty Apricot has our votes for its unique texture and subtle flavours {we were reminded of gud patti but hey, that’s just us}. As opposed to the rest of their flavours {Yogurt Berry and Choco Almond}, this one’s mild and not too sweet. We’re saving it for a quick snack on our way back home.

Price: Starting at INR 240 for a pack of six
Nature Valley—Oats and Honey
One of the first health bars to make an appearance in India, we still turn to Nature Valley for its wholesome, consistent experience. We like the Oats and Honey for its mild, sweet flavours.

Yogabar—Cashew and Orange
These bars are nothing more than slivers, but they do their job when it comes to chasing away your hunger. Available in a bunch of flavours including Vanilla Almond, Nuts & Seeds {we liked this one the least} and Chocolate Chunk, we only pick up the Cashew Orange every single time for its zest fresh flavours. The Peanut Butter one with a hint of creaminess comes a close second.
