Lara bars!!1 YUM

[FreshNewbie]

Yesterday, after my two spinning classes I picked up Lara bar in apple pie, YUMYUMYUM. What other flavours would you recommend to try. It's a shame that it's so hard to find it in a regular GNC or vitamine shoppe. Only stores that sell them here are natural food stores.

I've had the cherry pie one and it was SO good! I think I had some chocolate one that Sadie Kate was kind enough to share with me and it was good, too. I like Larabars!

Hey did you already order Payday bars? :-) I don't see them in any store here in NY.

I've already found some of the Pro ones at my store, so I don't need to order them. Well, if they never sell the plain ones, I may order them... or just keep eating regular Paydays.

Pro paydays? Please explain?

There's a thread or two in the nutrition area talking about these new Payday Pro bars, which are Payday energy bars. I've tried the kind that are covered in chocolate with choc chips and dried cranberries... they were pretty good, but I could live without the chocolate when I'm riding. Apparently they make them with the regular peanuts and caramel only. I want to try that one!

oh i will keep my eye's open for you! i think I would like those best as well! Save the chocolate for after!

Back to Lara Bars. I've been a fan for a while, but just tried the Cashew Cookie Bar. While it is yummy, I think I'll stay away from it--I was surprised at the amount of saturated fat it has. I guess that's what makes cashews so irresistable though.

hmmm, I saw that one but didn't want to try it for some reason. Usually after a ride or workout I like something with a fruit flavour. I never buy anything with chocolate in it either, chocolate in bars or gels just doesn't taste natural to me. I rather wait till after the ride and have some chocolate milk...

My regular grocery store, Stop & SHop, sells the Luna bars in their natural foods section. I bought a couple to try and when I got home I realized one has chocolate on it, but if I take it on a ride, it will melt for sure now that the warmer weather has arrived!! I can't wait to try the other flavors!

Lara bars are all fruits and nuts. The Cocoa Mole is delicious, has cocoa powder, cinnamon, and chili, along with the dates/raisins/walnuts. I love Lara bars, but I'm getting a bit tired of the Cherry Pie (I bought a case). I enjoy mixing it up with the Mojo bars.

hmmmmmmm that coco stuff sounds good I might change my mind about chocolate and food bars :-)

I have not seeen the Cocoa Mole where I get my Lara Bars. I'm going to have to find myself some of those!

Edited to include: I just visited their website and besides a lot of LaraBar flavors I haven't tried, they list a MayaBar. Has anybody tried one of those? They look chocolatey delicious!

My favorite Lara Bar is the Ginger Cookie one. But for some reason, I don't really like the texture of them...too sticky maybe? I don't now. But I really like Luna bars - those are my current obsession. Their selection is much better too. Chocolate Peppermint, yum!

i also love the cashew cookie. But I have also tried the chocolate coconut and Cocoa mole and I liked both of those. I wasn't so keen on the pecan pie or the cinnamon roll.

The Maya bars I've tried have been yummy.

I like the Lara bars because they're organic and all natural. I used to be really into the high protein bars, but just got sick of how artificial they were.
