Bar Review 5/5!

Today’s Bar: Lärabar Cashew Cookie
|
| Package Goodies: No Added Sugar. Unprocessed. Raw. Non-GMO. Gluten Free. Dairy Free. Soy Free. Vegan. Kosher. Good Source of Fiber. Cholesterol and Sodium Free. Provides 2g of Omega-6 Fatty Acids. 1 Serving of Fruit according to the USDA Food Guide Pyramid
Ingredient List: Cashews, Dates. Crazy!
The Verdict: The texture is a lot like a cookie…really thick cookie dough sort of. It was really pleasant, and a nice balance between chewy and crunchy. Cashews are my absolute favorite nuts, and they would stand out really nicely in this bar if they were toasted a bit, but the raw flavor melds really wonderfully with the dates and the overall feel of the bar. A really nice and pretty filling snack to hold me over until dinner! |
Finishing the week strong with Lärabar! Since I am a sucker for snacks, the bar reviews this week may not be the most enlightening…if it’s portable and chewy and/or crunchy, I’ll probably like at least part of it! I don’t have bars everyday normally (I try to have some fruit throughout the week, or sometimes I’ll stick with some crackers or even just a bigger salad with my lunch), so this was a treat for me. I’d have to say the winner for the week (who knew this was a contest!?) is the Bumble Bar from Thursday! Mostly because it was so unexpected and it really grew on me as I ate it. I can’t wait to try more of those! Really, any of the bars I tried this week I’d be likely to try again if I was in the right mood…and at least now I have a better sense of which ones to grab depending on whether I feel like chewy, crunchy, sweet, salty, etc. The Oskri bar from Monday was good, but I definitely need to be in a big big coconut mood for that one! I bet it would be great broken up over chocolate ice cream or with some melted chocolate drizzled across the top! Mmm..now I might just have to try that! Both the Clif and Luna Bars were yummy and dessert like, which was a real pick-me-up in the middle of the week! I’ll be glad to get back to some non-bar snacks next week, but I would definitely call this series a delicious success!
I’ve got lots of editing this weekend, and then hopefully it should be all done on Sunday! Then I’ll be back with more recipes and food photos instead of daily bar reviews. Have a great weekend!
