Yuck!

I was so excited, and hopeful when I saw these chocolate offerings from Lara bar. I decided to start with Mint mid ride ~ was stopped on the side of the road and took a bite. It tasted like skunk?! eww ~ spat it out, tossed the bar, put the wrapper in my pocket & rode home.

That night, DH tried the plain Chocolate bar - it too had a foul taste, not nearly chocolatey.

I'll stick to the Cocoa Mole Lara Bar.

Just wondering if I'm alone in giving the thumbs down to Maya bars.

I really like the Maya bars! Sorry you don't dig them. The cocoa moles are OK, too. Have you tried the coconut ones?

I really dislike coconut. Chocolate Mint is my fav, and I was soooo looking forward to a "chocolate bar" to eat along the way. Still wondering if we got a bad batch - or if they got old on the grocery shelves or something.

For the flavor & quality of Lara Bar, I was really disappointed by the Maya.

We buy our bars from New Seasons ~ they offer a 10% discount for case purchases! :D Usually a case each of Cocoa Mole for me, and Lemon for DH. Yum!

I liked the Chocolate Orange Maya bar the first few times I tried it, so I bought a case. I think I sent one to CC, right? So now I have a case of them, and I don't like the taste anymore. Not so bad as to spit them out, but the orange flavor is too much. I'm thinking the plain chocolate ones next time.

I love the regular Larabars...I love Cashew Cookie :)

Since I don't eat 'regular' chocolate, I enjoy an occaisional Maya Bar...I like the chocolate orange ones :)

I think it depends on how your tastes are...I'm 90 percent raw vegan in my diet, so my tastes are much different than say 8 months ago when I was partial vegetarian :) I have a brand new body, mind, and spirit :)
