Both my favorite brands of energy bars are coming out with new tastes this Spring. Luna Bar has updated its recipe, and Larabar will be debuting three new flavors soon. For me, and the stash of energy bars I keep in my purse and gym bag, this is exciting news.
The Luna Bar recipe revamp includes a new vitamin blend to better address women's nutritional needs. One addition is vitamin D to support calcium absorption. The flavor and texture have both been tweaked, and I feel these changes are for the better. Look for the blue leaf tag that says "new recipe" to try Lara Bar's updated flavor. You should be able to find the "new recipe" bars everywhere by mid-June. Also check out the brand new bar, White Chocolate Macadamia — I found it tasty.
Learn what is happening on the flavor front at Larabar when you read more.
You should expect to see these three new Larabar flavors in stores soon:
- Peanut Butter and Jelly — tastes just like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, minus the crust, so my daughters love this flavor.
- Tropical Fruit Tart — reminds me of a piña colada, but chewy with a bright refreshing flavor.
- German Chocolate Cake Jocalat bar — tastes a bit like a brownie, but not as sweet.
Out of the three new flavors, the Tropical Fruit Tart is my favorite. Unfortunately the Jocalat bar did not remind me at all of German chocolate cake, but is was certainly chocolaty. Are you looking forward to trying these new tastes from Luna and Larabar?

i LOVED the white chocolate macadamia nut!
1I used to be addicted to Luna's Nutz Over Chocolate, but when they had the recall, I started eating the Caramel Nut Brownie ones--delish! The white chocolate macadamia one is yummy too.
2I keep larabars in my car console at all times. They are delicious, and an awesome pre or post workout snack! Peanut butter cookie is my favorite
3I can't eat these anymore because I always want 2. Carmel Nut Brownie is so good and I love the Lemonzest.
4luna bars always have tasted vitamin-like to me...not appealing. hopefully their new formula will improve this!
5I can't eat Luna Bars because of the taste. I really wish I could, because they are so nutritionally dense.
6I can't bring myself to justify the fat and calories of a larabar because I honestly cannot believe I'd be full or satisfied after one, but I love Luna and will certainly try the new recipe.
7I want the german chocolate right now!! I love that larabars are gluten and dairy free!
8Hate to hate, but those seem like candy bars to me
9Are these bars good as a snack, or more for a meal replacement?
10The fat, calories, and sugar in a Larabar come from the nuts and dates. I don't really worry about it. I sometimes eat half post-workout, and the other half on my workout the next day.
