LARA Bar Reviews?

MayaSPapaya · May 2013

I eat protein bars for lunch when I'm out and about, but I was thinking of switching to a new one with a little more calories than the luna bar. How are the LARA bars? Do they actually taste like their flavors or do they mostly taste like dates?

I don't care for them, but my wife loves them. She swears the Apple Pie tastes like an actual pie. They range from about 190 - 230 calories, I believe.

Larabars are AWESOME, I eat one almost every day. Some have a little chocolate if you want something sweet and some are mostly nuts (larabar uber) for when i'm working out.

Mostly I like them because they have so few ingredients! Maybe 3 or 4 and sometimes just 2! Looking at the ingredient list on a luna bar was a real turn off for me.

I love the Lara Bars though I have to watch which ones have coconut in them since I don't like that. It's a shame that they use it so often since some of my favorite flavors like the lemon have coconut. But they are good and truly tasty. They taste like what they say they are for the most part. They have a new line called an Uber Bar and that's even better since those are strictly nuts and fruit. Another set of bars that I like is the Goodnessknows - they are more like desert to me with the dark chocolate on the bottom.

I love Lara bars - my son hates them. I'd suggest buying a few bars of different flavors in single bars before you commit to buying a whole box of one flavor just in case. Also if you do a search online there's a ton of recipes if you want to try making them yourself. Seems like a lot of work to me though and I'll stick to buying them.

Depends on which one. The coconut creme pie and the lime ones were awesome. The cherry pie was OK as was the lemon merangue.

I did not care for the chocolate/coffee one.

The apple pie one does taste like apple pie, but could use fewer nuts.

I agree witht he above post that the most attractive thing about them is the ingredient list.

LOVE larabars! Great way to curb grab a filling snack on the go and some of them have chocolate for my sweet tooth.

Luna bars are good too!

The Larabars are delicious and recommended by Jillian Michaels.

I've only tried the apple pie one and it was very good. It really did taste like apple pie!

I could live on the Cashew Cookie Larabar. Amazing.

We've just recently gotten onto Larabars, and we've really fallen in love with them. I have one pretty much every day as an easy mid-afternoon snack at my desk. Unfortunately we don't get nearly as many of the flavours up here in Canada, and they're expensive. We've started ordering them on Amazon.com and picking them up on our regular trips down to the US.

They're very good, though I find them to not be very filling at all for the calories. I go for a clif bar instead.

I've tried a few and they are pretty tasty but I don't eat them often. The sugar content of them is too high for me, even if it is natural sugar from dates and dried fruit.
