…just like Larabar ingredient lists.
I used to turn my nose up at Larabars; I didn’t think I was a huge fan of dates. I clearly don’t know my taste buds too well because both flavors I’ve had were quite yumalicious.
I ate this mini bar for a lunchtime dessert. This dense square that can easily fit in the palm of my hand packs 130 calories and 8 g of [healthy] fat. I savored every mini bite.
I’m grocering tomorrow. What flavors are your fav? I like to date around : )

Workout
- 1 mi. indoor track run @ 8:42
- 20-minute spin [6.7 mi.]
- 60-minute WRECPump!
I was so so so so excited to see WRECPump on this semester’s group fitness schedule. I am always envious when y’all talk about your BodyPump classes; I had a really good feeling it would be my cup of tea. My gym jumped on the bandwagon and now offers a class twice a week, just by a different name. My new roommate and I did it together tonight, and we loved it! I’m positive I’ll have some sore muscles to stretch out in the morning.

I apologize for the lame post, but my day wasn’t a bucketful postful of excitement. Today’s goal was to avoid melting in the 104*F weather. I can’t say I succeeded. Dripping.all.day.long.
Thankfully tomorrow’s Thursday. I didn’t suspect Week 1 to be so stressful.
Be well,
Hillary

When It Rains, It Pours.
No More November
I am actually not super crazy about Larabars. Maybe I will date around later?
The new peanut butter chocolate chip bar is pretty incredible. Otherwise, I love the cherry pie. It has huge chunks of dried cherries so you can’t notice the texture of dates at all. Hope you’re surviving the first week back!
I’ve never actually eaten dates so I don’t even know if I’d like them. I’ve only had a few flavors of Larabars (the small size = amazing! perfect snack portion), and I LOVED the apple pie flavor!
I wasn’t a fan of Larabars either, but they grew on me!
Stay cool out there… this has has to pass soon!
I’ve never tried a Larabar, but I know they run rampant in the blog world. Maybe one day I’ll try one out :)
I love the Apple Pie, Cherry Pie, Peanut Butter & Jelly and Cinnamon Roll. PB Cookie is also a favorite. Billy loves Banana Bread. I haven’t had the new flavors, but I’m sure you’ve been reading about those on Twitter + blogs. :)
I’m a recently converted Larabar fan, too! It wasn’t until I appreciated (and search for) SHORT ingredient lists and more natural foods that I thought “WOW, these are good”. My faves (so far) are the Pecan Pie & PB Cookie! In my pantry right now, Cookie Dough & Cashew Cookie. SO exited about that. ;)
I am a HUGE Larabar fan haha… I love: apple pie, cashew cookie, banana bread, lemon bar, tropical fuir tart, carrot cake, and cookie dough. Haha, so a lot of them. :) :) :)
I am about to commit healthy blog blasmphemy…but I don’t really like Larabars. I know horrible, right!? They are just too calorie-dense for me and not that filling.
I have only tried two flavors of Larabars: Banana Bread and PB&J. I would buy both again, but the PB&J was my fav. :-)
I’m starting to love the Larabars as well. I appreciate the ingredient list and that makes me like them even more. Although, I still believe that the best way to eat a date is wrapped in bacon. :)
I am not a fan of Larabars and bought a 5pk my first time, so there are still 4 untouched bars in my cupboard. I might have to donate them to a friend I think…
I know what you mean about the dates! My favorite flavor is Coconut Cream Pie…WOWza. Banana Bread & PB&J rock too, in addition to the NEW Carrot Cake… :D Indecisive much?
I love the taste of Larabars, but they are very calorie-dense. Although I’m not afraid of calories, do like to get a bit more bang for my bite (and buck… they’re pricey, too!)
I’m an LB convert, too… banana bread AND cookie dough are my favs!
