As an athlete and student on the run, I’ve tried my fair share of bars. I can’t believe I didn’t like date-based bars back in the day because they are now my go to source of energy. One of my favorite bars on the market is the lovely Larabar.
Why? For one, their super short and simple ingredient lists fit into my food philosophy {each bar contains just 2 to 9 all-natural ingredients}, and secondly, they’re extremely flavorful and satisfying.
Larbar kindly sent me the cutest box of 4 {new to me} flavors, including the newest addition to their menu: Chocolate Chip Cherry Torte.
The TASTE TEST
Banana Bread: I don’t know how they do it – it tasted exactly like a slice of banana bread with only 3 ingredients: dates, almonds & unsweetened dried bananas.
Chocolate Chip Cherry Torte: I love the Cherry Pie and Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough flavors; this was a melody of the two – mmm!
Gingersnap: A NEW FAVORITE! Perhaps it has to do with my current ginger obsession {more on that later!}.
Pecan Pie: I enjoyed this along with a tart Granny Smith apple as a healthy snack – tasty, but it didn’t take a spot on the top of my list.
Notice the empty wrappers. I devoured all 4 bars before taking any photos for said review. I’ve since restocked my Larabar box with my new favorite flavors for another week of healthy, whole food living on the go.
What are you favorite Larabar flavors?
Sending much love to the Larabar clan in Denver, CO…

Uhhhh CHERRY PIE, but I swear the chocolate chip cherry torte will be even more magical.
I love the coconut cream pie! I wish they made little bite-sized ones that could serve as a sweet and healthy treat after lunch or dinner. That would be the perfect lunchbox addition!
They do make mini bars — Target sells a variety box :)
I want to try the new cherry + chocolate one so badly, but haven’t been able to find it yet. Chocolate Chip Brownie is my favorite right now, but I have high hopes for the new cherry one :)
I love the gingersnap one! My other favorite is chocolate chip brownie. I’m obsessed with ginger though, especially dark chocolate with ginger (Green & Black’s).
I just devoured a bar of that. Have you tried Chocolove’s dark chocolate w. ginger? Delicious!
I recently tried the gingersnap one for the first time and loved it! I think my favorite is peanut butter and jelly.
I love Larabars. My favorite ones are Cashew Cookie and Peanut Butter and Jelly. So yummy. I have a bucket list of flavors to try though!
I love the cherry pie! I’ve even managed to make my own that taste pretty much the same. I haven’t experimented with other flavors yet, but I also like the apple pie.
I love Larabars! At first I didn’t really care for the taste of dates, but now I just cannot get enough! My favorite flavors are Carrot Cake and Coconut Cream Pie!
I must try the carrot cake flavor stat!
I love the gingersnap Larabar flavour! So spicy/good :)
I just had one of the Banana Bread ones. Yummmm! But — have not seen the gingersnap ones, or I may be an addict! Hook me up! Sounds awesome!
I love Larabars! I’m really tempted to try my hand at making them myself because they are pretty expensive. The upside to their price (from my bank account’s and my waistline’s perspectives) is that I am choosy about when I eat them. Could otherwise easily blast though a box in a couple of days! :)
Favorite flavors: Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough; Cherrie Pie; Gingersnap
mmmm i love larabars :) i love the chocolate chip cherry torte one too, but my all time fav would have to be the lemon one.
I haven’t tried the lemon flavor either… I think it’s about time I try ‘em all.
I love Larabars! My fave is the cashew cookie :)
