The fiber content in it is usually 1 gram per 25 grams serving. The fiber content is relatively low because food categorized as high fi ber if it has 5 grams per 100 gram products. Therefore, a new innovation to improve its fi ber content is required. Green bean and rice bran are type of food with high fiber content that possible to be added in snack bar. The purpose of this research was to determine the acceptability and fi ber content in snack bar. This was true experimental research with complete random design (CRD) with 5 treatments.

Fiber contentwas calculated using Indonesia Food Composition Database and also analyzed by proximate test in laboratory. The result showed that formula 3 had the highest score than other formulas. Laboratory result showed fi ber content in formula 3 was 1.98 grams per 25 grams snack bar.
