The sugar in larabars comes only from the fruits, there is no added sugar.

Terrific! Do they have any protein?

The lemon one has 5g protein. I think it varies from flavor to flavor. Here's their site... lots of info and nutritional info on each flavor.

It's 4 grams of protein, which is not so much, 24 grams of carbs ( if i am not mistaken). 9 grams of fat that comes from nuts only. All in all it's not the best source of protein, luna bars have 14 grams. I think if you eat a good combination protein+carbs meal before your rides and use larabars as snack after rides or during it should be good. I personally bought it after a spinning class, and just really liked the taste.

Thanks -- I've been a fan of Balance Bars for years and haven't branched out to any of the others.

Just bought some, one of each, Cashew, Cherry Pie, Peanut Butter Cookie and Apple Pie. Haven't tried them yet, but from the posts here, sounds like they're all very yummy.

Wow... three years old and this thread is still rocking lol...
So, what does that say about Lara Bars then?
I *love* Lara bars the most so far from anything I've tried. They are not hard to chew like Cliff bars imho. Natural. Just the right amount of sweet without all the un-natural sweet added junk (that makes me pukey sick). Oh... and they are not crumbly messy in the jersey pocket (if you just half at a time during certain points in the ride).
But, yes... they are hard to find. I went to their web site and did retailer locater. Flavors are still limited in retail stores. I have considered ordering on-line.
Let's see, flavors I have had... 1) cherry pie, 2) apple pie, 3) peanut butter cookie, 4) cashew cookie.... ermm, that's all I can think of right now.
They are nut based for protein, which I love. That is a staple of my diet and protein ever since I lost a ton of weight and re-found my love for pedaling.
Go Team Lara Bars!
