We love Luna Bars on FitSugar; in fact, you guys voted them your favorite energy bar for '07. So have you tried Luna Sunrise Bars? Though you can eat them anytime of day, these bars are made for breakfast, and I definitely recommend them if you're looking for a snack before your morning workout.
Sunrise bars come in four flavors — Blueberry Crisp, Strawberry Crumble, Vanilla Almond, and the new Apple Cinnamon — all of which are very breakfast friendly, unlike some of the regular Luna Bars. (Not that I don't love the S'mores!) Also, like regular Luna Bars, all of the Sunrise bars contain fewer than 200 calories. For my opinions on them, read more.
Each Sunrise bar has 5 grams of fiber, versus 3 grams for a regular Luna bar, as well as 8 grams of protein (compared to 10 grams for the regular Luna). The added fiber and whole grains are designed to keep you full until lunch, and the vitamins, particularly vitamin D, help you start the day eating healthy.
The iced bars have a chewier texture than regular Luna bars, which I like, and the flavors are evocative of fruit, yogurt, and cereal. My favorites are the Vanilla Almond and Apple Cinnamon, because they taste more real and less sweet. The Blueberry Crisp is also good, with its creamy berry taste, but the Strawberry Crumble is probably my least favorite. It just tastes a little too artificial.
Have you tried these yet? If so, which flavor is your favorite?

OMG, I just bought some Luna Bars (the original, Smores flavor) from the store and they are my new favorite! They are delicious, very healthy AND organic! Love, love, love these.. can't wait to try the breakfast bars!
1I love the vanilla almond. GREAT!
2my fave = chai latte..oh baby.
3I have never tried these but I was looking for a snack that I could do while I am at work besides fruit ( on the weeks, the fruit doesn't look that good at the store). I may need to try these.
4Sound yum!
5Vanilla Almond and Blueberry are the best! I have pretty long workouts after work on Tuesdays and Thursdays and eating one of these delectable treats beforehand always gives me the energy boost I need and holds me over until dinner. Also, great snack to pack when hiking or camping.
6These look good, I'll have to try them.
7I love the blueberry ones! I'll have to keep an eye out for the apple cinnamon though since that sounds wonderful. I like to add a piece of fruit for a more filling breakfast, but these are great!
8I will try anything that is Vanilla Almond
9i haven't tried them. but i wouldn't be surprised if they weren't available in canada. i'm definitely going to look for them though
10I have to try these! I LOVE Luna Bars so this sounds wonderful!
11Vanilla almond is pretty awesome. It's probably my favorite of all the Luna bars...
12These are so yummy...and I actually like the Strawberry Crumble one!
13Wow, ill definitely try some. I was looking for something to eat before my morning workout thats not too heavy... hopefully these will be it!!
14I actually like them strangely enough since I DO think that they tend to taste a little like a mulivitamin. But I like that they keep me feeling fuller longer and are perfect on mornings when I'm rushing. I can eat one of these go to the gym and not feel like I'm about to faint an hour or so later. I got my husband to try one since I was raving about it, and he was hestitant, but I assured him that even though they are for women they won't make him instantly grow breasts! He HATES the taste. Oh well, I'll keep buying them for me. I guess he was expecting a candy bar.
15Lina Bars are wonderful! A co-worker hooked me onto them about a year ago. I like them because they don't have that "chalky" taste that plagues most energy bars. I agree; the chewy Sunrise Bars are the most flavorful. My personal favorites: Vanilla Almond, Strawberry Crumble and the Blueberry Crisp (has the name changed to Blueberry Bliss....the bar I just finished devouring reads Luna Sunrise: Blueberry Bliss?) I have yet to try the Apple Cinnamon.
