We are about to try these other varieties…Coconut Creme Pie, Blueberry Muffin and Lemon Bar

In preparing for this Whole30 Challenge, my wife and I saw that LÄRABAR® is a permitted bar to eat during the challenge.  I made the grocery store run for the week, and picked up a few varieties of the original varieties of the bar.

One thing I noticed off the bat was that the bars had an average of only three to five or six ingredients.  The ingredients would include dates, some kind of nuts, and maybe another one or two ingredients.  I like that.

Another thing I noticed is that the bars were dairy free, GMO free, gluten free, soy free AND without added sugar.  Impressive.  I like that.

But then again, I was skeptical.  With all of this stuff missing, how in the world was this thing going to taste good?

I tried one, and it really was good.  Seriously.

The texture is kinda soft, and the nuts give them a little more heartiness and crunch.  It isn’t hyper-sweet, and the dates are not too “date-y” if you understand what I mean.  Sometimes, the dates you find in trail mix can be a little too much, in my opinion.

I like all of the varieties I tried, but my favorites so far are perhaps the banana bread and the key lime pie varieties.  I usually do not try bars with those kind of different flavors, as I tend to be more of a chocolate person, but I have to say that LÄRABAR truly surprised me.

  • We love Larabars…. love when they’re 10 for 10 at Kroger too… We’ve considered buying them in bulk from Amazon because we’d spend less per bar than we would at the grocery store. Great stuff!

    • Yep, I’ll probably do the same one day – buying bulk, that is. I at least gotta catch that Kroger 10-for-10, because I’ve been getting them 4-for-5.

    We like lata bars too! Even kg likes them!

    • Cool 🙂
      Yeah, I always looked past them in the past, but now that I know that they are good and simple in regards to ingredients, I’m “sold.”
