Larabars are one of the best food solutions I've discovered out there.
First, they're natural and the ingredient list is a single line on the package. Not only that, I can pronounce all the words without a dictionary and I don't need a Physician's Desk Reference or a Chemistry 201 textbook to understand what the ingredients are. The applie pie bar (eating one as I type this) consists of: Dates, Almonds, Unsweetened Apples, Walnuts, Raisins, and Cinnamon. That's it. Larabars are primarily dates, with nuts, fruit, and natural flavors added. The ingredients are labeled non-GMO Verified, which is something I like. Frankenfoods may be safe or they may be harmful, I don't know for sure, but I think everyone should have the option to decide for themselves what they're going to eat.
Second, they're very filling. Dates are protein-packed, fiber-filled, and very dense. It doesn't take a lot of dates to satiate your hunger.
Third, they taste great! The nuts, fruit, and natural flavors added to the bar combine to create unique, tasty flavors. The flavor is not the repulsive chemistry set flavor you get with other products; there's real lemon and real lemon juice in the lemon bars, real apples and cinnamon in the apple pie bars, and real key lime in the key lime bars.
Fourth, I like the consistency of Larabars. The fruit and nuts combine to add some crunch to the bar, breaking up the otherwise dense date and fruit material. It feels good to chew it.
Fifth, I like these bars because they are small, convenient, and they quickly satiate my hunger when I'm out doing other things. My child loves them and they are a guaranteed hit anytime we're out and they get hungry. Larabars have saved us a couple times at the playground or the park. I take them everywhere with me. They're in my car, in my suitcase and carry-on bag, in my work bag, and in my emergency bag and camping gear. I keep an emergency bag in my car, just in case I break down on the road, and I keep several Larabars in it, too. In fact, I think Larabars are one of the best emergency food solutions out there. They're shelf stable, packed with nutrition, small and easy to transport, and they taste good, so you won't dread having to eat them.
Finally, I've tried other bars out there, like Cliff Bars, and I think these are superior. Most competing food/energy bars are composed primarily of sugar, honey, sweetener, fat, and fillers. I think these bars have the healthiest ingredient list and the best flavors and flavor options out there. Compare the ingredients next time you go to the store and you'll see what I mean.
