I’m most definitely not a ‘bar person’. It was not until I started reading food blogs that I started buying a few bars here and there. Overall, even after trying quite a few bars, I’m still not a person that loves bars. I think most of them have way too many ingredients (some of which I have not clue what they are), have way too many calories, never satisfy my hunger, taste like cardboard.
One brand that I have found that I absolutely love is Larabars. For the most part I like most of the flavors I’ve tried, they taste good, the calories are reasonable, they have very few ingredients! But honestly they don’t hold me over very long thats for sure.
Living in a small town, finding a variety of flavors is hard to come by. But I finally made it to Whole Foods and found the Coconut Cream Pie flavor I’ve been dying to try! I was not disappointed!! This by far is my absolute favorite bar I have ever had!
Only downside: these bars are pretty expensive($1.50 per bar) and a bit high in calories(200 per bar), not much protien (3g per bar).
The Ingredients are outstanding:
Dates, cashews, almonds, unsweetened coconut, extra virgin coconut oil.



We tried the Cashew kind here, and I have to say, it wasn’t very good. I only really like one of the “bars” and that’s the yogurt and peanut (not sure the exact flavor name) Balance Bar. The rest just aren’t worth the calories, no matter how much “good” stuff there is in them, IMO.
The Pistastio bar is horrid…bitter & tart…but love the Pecan!
Kelly,
oh, Cashew is one of my favorites!
hee hee! Everyone has different tastes I guess!
There are some good Balance Bars too. But for the most part the clif, luna, kashi, balance bars all have a funny after taste to me. I like lara (mostly the nut ones) b/c they are just dried fruit and nuts! Two of my favorite things.
OH really?? boo I was looking forward to that one!
