Looking for Mr. Goodbar

Nutritious Creations Bars

4 p.m. The sugar craving hits you like a Mack truck.

Cookie? PowerBar? No way, Jose. There’s a new culty food out there.

Nutritious Creations bars.

Okay. So the name doesn’t exactly scream “Come and get it.” But millions of finicky snackers can’t be wrong. The biggest food craze since Total yogurt and Skinny Cow, the bars are flying off the shelves of delis across the city. Most coveted? The blueberry oat. And the peanut-butter fat-free brownie? Forget it, pallie. Get on the wait list, or start sucking up to your local proprietor.

The Nutra Snack bars are wheat- and dairy-free, full of fiber (as much as five grams!), and have only 150 calories (lab-tested, so there’s no scam there). Oh, and don’t miss the almost Frisbee-size low-fat chocolate-chip cookie.

Sinful.

Yet, um, not.
