The Larabars saga
John January 2nd, 2010
I’ve become addicted to these food bars which I stumbled onto in search of ones with a lower glycemic index than Clif Bars. They all have a very short list of ingredients, and all with things that you’ve heard of (the apple pie one is something like “dates, raisins, apples, almonds, walnuts, cinnamon”).
Unfortunately the better ones aren’t as common as two of the worst (cashew & peanut), and I love pistachios but that bar is just awful.
Apple pie: very good
Lemon bar: very good
Cocoa mole: very good
Cinnamon roll: good
Cherry pie: good, but tart (not cloyingly sweet like cherries are typically made)
Key lime pie: not bad (DL likes it a lot more than I do)
Cashew cookie: bland
Peanut butter cookie: bland
Pistachio: very bland, and it looks disgusting (green with yellowish corn-sized bits in)
Jocalat: bad. bad bad bad. bad. bad.
