I was just asked what snack I like to grab on the go when I’m in a r
ush.
This is one of my top choices! Lara Bars. I love these bars because they are one of the few on the market that are preservative free and still taste delicious. They come in all sorts of flavors, my favorite is Cashew Cookie. My husbands favorite is Peanut Butter Cookie - he says it tastes like the inside of a Reeses Peanut Butter Cup.
If you flip over the package of most “health” bars on the market you will see ingredients like corn syrup, “chocolate flavored coating” -whatever that is, maltitol, palm kernel oil and the list goes on. Not to mention that one ofthe first ingredients in most of these “health”bars is a form of sugar.
- The Lara Bar is all natural – so natural in fact that most flavors only have two ingredients! My favorite flavor is made of cashews and dates. That’s it! No corn syrup, no crap, no nothing! These bars are highin protein, good fats and fiber! They are also low in sodium and cholesterol. And they help keep me feeling full and still satisfy a sweet tooth! Now, I have to be honest, I would not eat these bars every day. As delicious and good for you as they are, they are still high in fat. I do always try to grab an apple, a piece of cheese, a handful of nuts or something like that, but these are a great option to add variety into the list of go-to snacks!

With just 2 ingredients, I am a bit skeptical about how “delicious” these could be but I am certainly willing to try… especially considering they are natural (no crap – as you put it.. lol).
Are these available in Canada or only in the US? What store cary them, do you knwow?
They are delicious! I promise! You can buy them in Canada and the U.S. Most grocery stores now carry them in their health food sections. From Trader Joes’ in the U.S to Loblaws in Canada.
Let me know what flavor you try!
You MUST try Demster’s Healthyway bars. They’re new, a little harder to find – but they taste just as fresh and are just as good for you!
I can’t seem to find Demster’s Heathway bars on line anywhere. I’ll look in the stores. Where have you found them. I wanted to check out the ingredients and the nutritional breakdown.
Thanks! And thanks for the tip!
They are a little hard to find because they are brand new this year (they have a new line called Healthy Way of bread etc.). They come in apple cinnamon and cranberry flavor … and you can only by them in boxes. Do you live in Canada? I buy them at Sobey’s (always has them, if not – ask) or sometimes Loblaws. Oddly enough some of the brand new Shoppers Drug Mart’s here with groceries have them too. But check out Sobey’s. Just checked their website and looks like they haven’t put them on there yet! Perhaps only Canadians can enjoy right now?
I’ll keep my eye out for them and let you know when I try it!
