Traditionally granola is thought of as a healthy snack, however the granola bars we buy in supermarkets are generally filled with more sugar and fat than we would consider healthy. Try to find brands that are lower in sugar and fat, and remember that even healthy granola bars are "energy food" and you do need to burn off what you take in by exercising.

Granola is a healthy alternative to other snack foods that's for sure. As long as you don't mind the crunch your all good to go. Try looking up recipes to make your own health bars

It depends on how much sugar is in it. Stick with low sugar foods and you will be healthier. Try low sugar protein bars. You will have to try different ones to see which ones you like
