Ingredients: oats, hard red winter wheat, rye, barley, triticale, long grain brown rice, buckwheat, sesame seeds, evaporated cane juice crystals, expeller pressed canola oil, soy protein isolate, chicory root fiber, honey, rice starch, wheat germ, gum arabic, evaporated salt, soy lecithin, natural flavor, sodium bicarbonate, mixed tocopherols, natural roasted almond butter.

This is almost identical to a nature valley granola bar - rock hard, two to a pack, granola bricks. Not quite as sweet, but really so close that it would be difficult to tell the difference in a blind test, I'd think. It seems like these might have more protein and fiber, looking over the nutrition info, but I couldn't be sure. Other than that I see no real reason to buy one or the other, if you like/dislike them.
