New Flavors For Larabar Lovers

One thing I love more than Larabars is new flavors of Larabars! They just came out with four exciting flavors, so if you're a fan, you need to give these a try. The Peanut Butter Cookie is now my all time fave. These bars are made with nuts and dried fruit so they offer healthy fats, fiber, and protein for a quick and healthy snack, perfect for before or after a workout. I like to eat half before and save the second half for my post-workout treat.

My LARABARS Arrived!!!

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.
