I mentioned a while back that I could no longer find Kellogg's Nutri-Grain bars at any of the supermarkets in my area, and several of you left comments and sent e-mail saying you couldn't find them either. I'm pretty sure they're not being made anymore (though Nutri-Grain does have various breakfast pastries). Now I think I've found a great substitute.

Quaker has just released their own Breakfast Bars (so new they're not on their site yet), and in the same flavors that the Nutri-Grain bars came in, blueberry and banana muffin! The verdict? They're quite good. They're smaller and not as moist as the Nutri-Grain bars were. These have a slightly tougher, toastier look and feel to them, but I like them a lot.

Note to Quaker: don't discontinue these! Or, if you're going to, give me a heads up so I can buy several cases from you. Thanks.

I think what you've found is new flavors... Quaker has had breakfast bars for a while:

Nutri-Grain's site definitely doesn't include the flavors of breakfast bars that you mention, so Quaker's move is indeed timely.

Quaker has had breakfast bars for a while, but not these new flavors (and the packaging is different too, I believe).

More new bars! I found Fiber One cereal bars here in Ohio and they are delicious!! They come in 'Peanut Butter & Oat' and 'Chocolate & Oat,' or at least those are what I've seen/tried so far. They are slightly larger than a normal Quaker granola bar or even a Nutrigrain bar at that. I think the taste is spot on too. Highly recommended!

I think they probably discontinued the Nutrigrain bars once it became law to print trans fatty acids on the label. They were chock full, from what I remember.
