Lärabars

Posted at 5:56 pm MDT to Miscellaneous

Last week at Costco I noticed some boxes of Lärabar fruit and nut bars. I bought a box and tossed some into my suitcase so I wouldn't be tempted to hit the junk food machines in the evenings. According to the labels, the bars are: No Added Sugar, Unprocessed, Raw, Non-GMO, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Vegan, Kosher, Cholesterol free and Low sodium. They are also peanut free: I checked the ingredients before I bought them.

So much for the list of things they are not. What they are is ground fruit and nuts formed into nice solid bars that don't get smushed in luggage, and pretty darn tasty.

They are also well wrapped, and don't need refrigeration the way string cheese does.

The box I bought had three varieties in it:

Apple Pie: Dates, Almonds, Unsweetened Apples, Walnuts, Raisins, Cinnamon

Lemon: Dates, Cashews, Almonds, Lemon juice concentrate, Natural Lemon flavor

Cherry Pie: Dates, Almonds, Unsweetened Cherries

I haven't tried the Cherry ones yet, but I'm sure they will be as delicious as the other two varieties. I think I have found a new addition to my packing routine.
