Recently LARABAR offered FitSugar readers free samples of their tasty energy bars? (Sorry - if you haven't requested them yet, the deadline has passed, but you can still pick some up at your health food store.) Well, mine just arrived - wasn't that fast?! I requested samples of their new chocolate flavored bars that they call JOCOLAT. They were so tasty I had to write about them. Chocolate has that effect on me.
Out of the Chocolate, Chocolate Mint, Chocolate Orange and Chocolate Coffee, the plain old Chocolate LARABAR was my favorite. I swear if I closed my eyes, it tasted like I was eating a decadent walnut fudge brownie. When I looked at the ingredients, all I saw were organic dates, organic almonds, organic walnuts, organic cocoa powder, organic cocoa mass, and organic cashews. That's it. Nothing but healthy stuff.
I will definitely be buying these - I'll keep a stash in my purse and gym bag, so I'll have a healthy snack that'll fill me up, give me energy, and satisfy my sweet tooth.

Fit's Tips: I know it may seem like the fat content in this bar is high, but the fat comes from nuts, which are healthy fats your body needs. If you want to see how a LARABAR compares to other energy bars, than check out this post.

I got mine too (thanks again Fit and LARABAR). I stuck with the original LARABARS since I had never tried them before. I havent had one just yet since Im saving them for a 'special occasion.' Im a dork like that. One of my flavors is cashew cookie and I am soooo excited to try it. I just know it will live up to your review of it, Fit.
1I got mine too! Love them!!!!
2I got mine on Monday! I got the regular bars. They were pretty good. I definitely want to try the chocolate ones too!
3I'm still waiting on mine
I hope they show up soon!
4I got mine on Saturday, and I was so excited! They sent me 4 of the original larabars. I have so far eaten the cherry and apple pie ones. They were so good I called a bunch of my friends and told them how tasty they are. There's even a store (a single lone store) in my area that stocks em!
5Did any of you get conformation e-mails that they were going to be sent, or did they just show up at your door after you e-mailed the request?
6I got mine Monday! I got 4 original bars and they have been my afternoon snack all week. It was good luck since I didnt pick any up at the store on my Sunday grocery run.
7me too! i got the chocolate and the chocolate mint, as well as a key lime and cherry pie larabar. i'm so happy!
8I got mine Tuesday. So far I like them, but I can't find a store that carries them around me.
9I got mine last weekend, I was really disappointed that every kind had tree nuts. (Allergy). But my family tried them! I reviewed them on my blog (and showed you the appropriate Linky Love, of course!).
10No, they just shot up on your doorstep, no conf. email beforehand.
11I got mine on Friday...delish!!! The company is based in Denver, where I live, so luckily a lot of stores in my area carry them...yum!!!
12Just to clarify - LARABAR did NOT send out confirmation emails - they just sent the bars.
Depending on what flavors you requested, yours may be sent a little later, but they'll all be sent out by the end of the week, so keep your eye out!
13i am dying to try the chocolate ones but the store that sells the larabars does not sell the chocolate ones... I might have to go searching.. hehehe
14i got mine on saturday! love them really. i also like how they arent so high in calories either. i dont need 300 calories packed into one bar.
15i'm leaving on a road trip with my brothers on friday. these would be a good travel snack. i'll have to check my mail today to see if mine came yet. i can't wait.
16YAY
17so did mine!!!
and they are DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELICIOUS!
thanks pop!
So they really taste good? I am pretty finicky when it comes to energy/protein bars. I have not found any I will actually eat. Maybe I will try these since everyone has liked them.
18I'm still waiting on mine!!
19Thanks for the review, Fit!
lisak--i am really picky with energy/protein bars and I thought these were fantastic. My husband (AKA the world's pickiest eater) tried the apple pie and actually liked it. I just have to drive kind of far to get them now!
20I got mine Monday too! I love 'em! Thanks Fit!
21Oh man how did I miss this!
22My fav bars are not on that list but you've got to check them out. They are made by Gnu (pronounced new) foods and the bar is called flavor and fiber. The bars only have 130 calories, 3 grams of fat, 12 grams of fiber and 3 grams of protein. The chocolate bars have 140 calories. This way I know I get my 25 grams of fiber a day. Available online @www.gnufoods.com. There is a store locator for peeps who don't want to order online.
23I got my bars on Monday too! I got the variety pack and so they sent me 4..>Cherry Pie Larabar, KeyLime Pie Larabar, Chocolate Jocolat and Chocolate Mint Jocolat......they are so yummy!
24I got mine too!!!!
25mmmmmmm. i will be trying the plain chocolate one
26those sound good.
27mine came too. but it has way tooo much sugar in the cherry pie 24g.
28Thanks mrsgrillo!! I realized I made myself sound like a cat using the word finicky
I googled
these and found a store just a few miles away, so I plan on going to buy some of these.
29I missed this one, but I have tasted most of these yummy treats.
30got mine!!!
so delicious, and i love knowing i'm eating something so healthy!
31So, I tried all of them, they are by far my favorite bars, but the Key Lime was a bit much for me, did not like it. The cashew cookie and apple pie are to die for though!!!
32I got mine! They were yummy!
33I just wish I could find them locally without having to order them.
I'm still waiting on mine!!
34I got my Larabars! they sent me 4!! And some stickers! Really generous for samples! But I already tried them already so I knew I would like them, but I found a new favorite, cashew cookie
but i don't like the Jocalat, the one I has seemed dry and didn't taste like
chocolate at all (i'm picky though and not at all leanient on health food, it still has to taste good!)
my reccomendations: pecan pie, cashew cookie, and the best: banana cookie (it tastes to me JUST LIKE banana bread!)
35I got my fruit Larabars and they are AWESOME! I love that their bars have 6 ingredients or less and are all natural. I'm definitely considering buying them in the future (their generous sample aided in that).
36Sounds too healthy!!!
37I finally got mine too! Chocolate, Chocolate Mint, Key Lime Pie, and Pecan Pie. I didn't see anyone mention the Pecan Pie, so I thought I would mention that I really liked it. Definitely can taste the Pecans, but there are almonds in there too! This one and Cashew Cookie have the least amount of sugar, 14 for cashew, 16 for pecan.
38Okay, must remember to check out one of the supermarkets here soon.
39"it tasted like I was eating a decadent walnut fudge brownie" - exactly! That's why I love the chocolate Larabar. Orange Choc was good too, but the mint one tasted too "toothpasty" to me - the mint was overpowering.
