NAOmni loves fiber, and she has gotten me hooked! I used to only look at the calories, fat and sodium content of foods, but lately I have been enamoured with fiber. The more fiber the better. Women should aim for 20 grams or more of fiber daily, and men 30 grams or more. Fiber is a type of carbohydrate that is not digested by the body, and will reduce your risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, and diverticulitus.

So why am I rambling on about fiber? That brings me to the reason of the post... my obsession. I am absolutely obsessed with fiber bars. NAOmni is always munching on FiberOne bars and she recently let me try one, they are delicious. On my most recent grocery trip I bought the store brand fiber bars and they are just as yummy. The bars are 140 calories and have 9 grams of fiber! They make the perfect afternoon pick me up snack. What is your favorite fiber-y snack?
