I used to eat the Cinnamon Raisin bars daily until they were discontinued a year ago. The new bars taste just as wonderful, as well as being the same size, so just as gratifying in that sense. I eat 2 bars a day, one for breakfast, and one as an afternoon snack; very filling and keeps my appetite from going over the edge. I was a little confused as to how many I would receive on Subscribe and Save, I received 8 boxes, 5 bars per box. For Phases 2 and 3 of SBD.
Nutritional Facts: 130 calories, 4 grams fat, total carbs 18, fiber 3 grams, sugars 8 grams, protein 9 grams.
I loved the cereal bars formerly known as "South Beach Cinnamon Raisin Bars" from the supermarket. They tasted just like cinnamon raisin rolls! It was great to find them here, even if they were a bit more expensive and it was necessary to buy 8 boxes (40 bars) at a time.
But, don't get your hopes up, these bars are NOT the SAME as before. They're bland, hard to chew, with only a couple tiny raisins in each. The portions are also 10 calories smaller than before. What was South Beach thinking??? I doubt that I'll buy again.

The "NEW" version of this product is gross. The bars are dry, chalky, and have an artificial taste. I did, however, discover that the Snackwells Cinnamon Raisin bars are exactly the same as the old version of this bar. I will be buying those instead.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program These protein fit cereal bars have what another reviewer referred to as "chalky" quality to them; the first bite didn't really taste like anything! It was only on the second bite that I began to taste and enjoy the cinnamon raisin flavor. I do like that they have protein in them; this is good for the diet that I'm currently on. Then again, there's also not enough fiber in these bars to satisfy me.
I recommend you shop around for another brand of protein bar that just plain tastes better. These bars are nothing special and I won't be buying them in the future.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I decided to try these South Beach "Diet" Protein bars.
These cinnamon and raisin bars are advertised as "Protein Fit" and they make only secondary claims (in print size) for fiber content. Of course, people have different motivations, and mine is increasing my daily intake of fiber more than protein:
Here's whats displayed on the South Beach box in fairly large font:
9g Protein 3g Fiber
Here's how they stack up according to the labels compared to Fibre One Oats & Peanut Butter bars fiber bars, in terms of grams and percent of daily recommended amounts in percentages (I cannot account for differences in percentages as shown on the boxes, nor have I attempted to include every ingredient and measurement found on the box labels). Amazon's formatting restraints do not allow for columns, so here they are with the South Beach first, and the Fiber One, second--after the dashes:
South Beach Cinn & Raisin - Fiber One Oats & Peanut
Calories 130 (30 from fat) - 150 (40 from fat)
Total Fat 3g (8%) - 4.5g (7%)
Saturated Fat 2g (10%) - 2g (11%)
Cholesterol "less than 5g" (1%) - 0
Sodium 160mg (7%) - 110mg (5%)
Protein 9g (17%) - 3g (% not shown)
Fiber 3g (12%) - 9g (35%)
As you can see, the South Beach bars have three times as much protein, and one-third as much fiber.
Speaking personally, I can't imagine I need more protein every day. But I know I need more fiber.
Taste: These are way too sweet for me personally, but that's obviously subjective (The South Beach bars actually have less sugar than the Fiber One: 8g sugars in South Beach vs 9g in Fiber One).
I hope these facts are of value to some buyers looking for this kind of comparison.
At the time of this review, the product description states "Fruit & Nut Delight, Almond & Apricot, Almond Cashew + Omega-3, Cranberry Almond + Antioxidants". These are not the flavors you will receive. I love KIND bars, and I get 2 boxes shipped to my house automatically each month. This month the flavors inside the box have changed, but the product description has not been updated. This is what now comes in the 'minis variety 12-pack':
