Corazonas Heartbar Oatmeal Square, Apple Cinnamon, 1.76 Ounce (Pack of 12)

After struggling with high cholesterol for over five years and my doctor telling me that it would be almost impossible for me to lower it without going on statin drugs I proved him wrong. I've been eating one Corazonas bar on average of five out of seven days per week as a replacement for breakfast. I also go to a low impact aerobic class three days per week and have lost 10 pounds. I don't take any supplements like fish oil. I think that all of these things combined helped lower my cholesterol. I was shocked when my new doctor emailed me the results of my blood work. My cholesterol readings are all now in the normal range. I enjoy eating these bars for breakfast because they are tasty warmed in the microwave for 13 seconds and I can eat them running out the door. My favorite flavors are banana walnut, cranberry flax, and peanut butter. My husband doesn't have high cholesterol but he enjoys the chocolate chip one mainly because he is a chocoholic. The merits of plant sterols was featured on the Dr. Oz Show recently and in one segment they showed foods that contain high amounts of plant sterols. They showed a snack bar that looked exactly like the Corazona bar. I will continue to buy these bars. I believe the price to be reasonable, especially considering the health benefits.

I just started eating these bars. I first ordered the blueberry because the price was lower than the others. Then I ordered a box of cranberry. They are delicious and great for an easy breakfast with my coffee.Now I see there are only a couple flavors available and it says they don’t know when or if they will get more. Please, please don’t discontinue these bars. It’s so hard to find heart healthy foods like this.

I have the banana walnut & blueberry in my subscribe & save. These are great for breakfast or a quick pick me up. Unlike other snack bars, these aren't too sweet. Note: These bars are dense & may not be for everyone. I recommend the banana walnut flavored bars. The only con is that I wish they were a bit less expensive.

Found these by accident and come to find out they are made locally. I have never seen this in the stores. The bars are very dense and heavy but flavorful. Helps keep you full for a long time. Not overly sweet. Tastes great warmed in microwave for a few seconds. Would love to see more flavors like cranberry, apple, cherry or oatmeal raisin.

These bars, like all the Corazonas Heartbars, are great with coffee, milk or as a stand-alone treat. They aren't too sweet, yet they deliver a tasty chewy bar that is satisfying and a healthier option than many high-sugar granola or protein bars. My only complaint is that the Oatmeal Raisin variety is not available at this time. However, the three other flavors I've tried are delicious and useful for breakfast, your lunchbox, or as an emergency bar stashed in your glove box for when you're stuck in traffic and starving.

I loved these bars for years and constantly purchased them, trying all the flavors. My favorite WAS the Cranberry Flax, until the price of this variety got outrageously expensive. I've purchased other varieties depending on price because the price here continually changes, both UPSIDE (as much as 30%) and downside (can be down 20%). In addition, my last 2 orders have not tasted the same. Both orders were very dry, hard to chew, and absolutely tasteless. I mean VERY STALE. But, if you choose to purchase, constantly watch the price here because each individual variety can go up 30% (on any given day) and down 30% on any given day. So watch pricing because prices indicated do not always remain for long.

In a nutshell:These things are like mini brownies and cookies giving birth to Corazona’s. I first tried these out when I saw them at Costco and now I have them on subscribe & save from Amazon. These things are tasty and survivor food.The nitty-gritty:These things are like crack! It’s like eating the offspring of a cookie and a brownie (depending if you get chocolate chip). The white macadamia nut is also really good. The blueberry ones are not bad either, but I think I had too many of them that I am kind of over them. Since I am always on the run, these are good to have if you want to munch on something on the go. I normally have these with yogurt in the morning. The gf didn’t really like them, but I think they are awesome, and they aren’t “that bad for you” but i’m no health expert so I am not sure how far that goes.Check out examinators.com for more reviews!

These are yummy, nutritious (especially for those of us trying to lower cholestrol) and filling. The perfect trio. They taste best when microwaved for 12-20 seconds, as this gives them a moistness and most mimics the warm oatmeal taste many of us find so nostalgic. That these squares are filling is a huge plus for "diet snacks." Too often healthy just means small and unfilling. These are hefty. Also, if I'm going to miss breakfast and want a full meal I just eat two of these and I'm good for hours.So why only four stars? They are good tasting, but not over the top. Unheated they are still good, but you can tell they are supposed to be good for you. I've yet to find a five-star healthy meal replacement, so at four-stars I'd still say that Corazonas has created a diet snack that is among the best!
