We recently joined MyBlogSpark to sample and review new products here on our blog. The first products sent us were Nature Valley Nut Clusters. These are new snacks that remind me of those crunchy nutty granola bars, only bite sized. We tried all four varieties: Nut Lovers, Roasted Almond, Roasted Cashew and Honey Roasted Peanut. They were all crunchy and sweet with just the right amount of salt added in. My kids and I really enjoyed them. My favorite was the Roasted Almond while my kids liked the Roasted Cashew best.
I am trying to steer my children away from the gummy, sticky snacks that can cause cavities, so these Nature Valley Nut Clusters are the perfect alternative. They are 100% natural and great for healthy snacking. They come in zip-top bags that are convenient for picnics, etc. I often leave a bag in my car for the inevitable, “Mom, I’m hungry!”
Stay tuned for more MyBlogSpark product reviews!

Thanks for sharing, Dulce! I’ll check it out.
You should check the nutrition and ingredient list on those things.
I’m not sure about this brand, but I do know that the normal ‘Healthy’ Granola bars are usually between 45-60% sugar (in various forms)!
Not really as healthy a snack as they want you to believe.
James, http://www.naturevalley.com/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductId=34 lists the nutritional information for the Nut Lovers variety. The first two ingredients are nuts. There is no high fructose corn syrup, though there is sugar, tapioca syrup, honey and fructose. Per serving, this one has 6 g sugar, 4 g protein and 150 calories.

Lisa, if you click on any of the flavors listed above, it will take you to Amazon.com where you can purchase them. I have also seen them at Dominick’s (Safeway), Jewel (Albertsons), CVS, Walgreens, and Target. Hope you are able to find them!
