The simplicity of many of Larabar’s flavors is astounding. Many contain between three and five ingredients, while Cashew Cookie contains just two. Talk about a clean label.

With less than 200 calories and just 6 simple ingredients, this snack carries on a great family tradition of simple, indulgent flavors.

They’re so easy to carry – I can’t stress enough that these are great bars to take on-the-go and to always keep in your purse or car to eat for later.
LARABAR bars are 100% clean and are made with no more than 8 super healthy ingredients per bar. There’s no added sugar, syrup, oil or other ‘nasties’ in site!
What reviewers didn't like
Texture is on the heavy and coarse side. Some varieties have more sugar than others. A few packages arrived damaged.
It just tastes like this really horrible brownie texture, and sweet with no good flavor.
The bars are less well-suited for runners as they require chewing. That can be a choking hazard when you are breathing hard. But Larabars could work well on a break during a long run.
They’re all about 190-240 calories, so it’s not quite a low-fat snack, but then again you’re eating nuts and fruit, so I can’t feel bad about that!
