Larabar Cherry Pie, Gluten Free Vegan Fruit & Nut Bar, 1.7 oz Bars, 16 Ct

So, I had a nutritionist/certified medical weight loss specialist suggest Larabars to me like a year ago, due to their lack of refined sugars, lower overall sugar content, high fiber, and all natural ingredients. I finally decided to try them as a meal replacement (3 full meals, 3 snack meals - the Larabars are snack meals)...Um... YES. A food bar that DOESN'T make me feel sick (granola bars don't get along with my stomach), Tastes AMAZING, fills me up just enough to make it the next couple of hours, gives me slow burn energy.... I can't get enough of these.I'm not some health nut either... I'm a 365 (was 374!!!) pound fattie who loves his chocolate cake, deep fried food, pizza, ice cream, snickers bars, etc...These are probably one of the best things I have ever found, because I can eat healthily, AND FEEL LIKE I AM EATING CANDY!!!!Just do it. They taste incredible.The bars I've tried so far:Lemon: 5/5 stars. Amazing. Tastes like lemon cake.Cherry pie: 5/5 stars. I try not to sing "She's my Cherry Pie!" every time.Apple pie: 3/5 stars. Tastes good, but feels a bit dry and chewyChocolate peanut butter: 4/5 stars. Good flavor. A bit unusual, but what do you expect when using fruit based ingredients to taste like peanut butter chocolate chip cookies? Still tastes great, just not quite my favorite.I'll update as I try more flavors, and oh yes, I will be trying more flavors.Great job Lara. I'm hoping this is one of the things that helps save my life.Update:Coconut cream pie: 6/5 stars. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!? THIS IS AMAZING!!! It tastes like a mounds bar without chocolate! Add a small amount of chocolate chips... YUM.Banana bread: 5/5. Yup. Tastes like banana bread.Carrot cake: 4/5. Pretty dang good. Not quite as moist as the real thing, but hey, I'm changing my lifestyle, It will do just fine for all my non cheat days.As an addendum, I've tried various "diet" bars, protein bars, "health food" bars, etc... and none compare to these. These are delicious. These are food. These are not full of weird flavors from sketchy chemicals... they are just dang. good. food. These actually satiate hunger, and FEEL good after eating. No indigestion, no stomach issues, nothing. I am so glad I found them, may they never change their way, and cheapen up their ingredients.

I have been eating Larabars since 2008. I like several of the flavors but I sort of got hooked on the Cherry Pie flavor although, in "real life" I don't like cherry pie! These bars are raw and natural. They have no chemicals in them and the Cherry Pie variety contains just the following ingredients: Dates, almonds and unsweetened cherries. That is it. No long weird ingredients, no fillers, no strange chemicals or fake sugar. They are a bit sweet but the taste is pure and the nuts make these a chewy and crunchy snack.However, they do have 200 calories in them and 8 grams of fat. But the fat is from the nuts which is good fat so that shouldn't scare you off. There is a small amount of protein - 5 grams - in these bars which is better than eating a candy bar with none. They also have 4 grams of fiber which is a good amount (and a natural source of fiber). These are not enriched with vitamins so you get only what the three ingredients give you. I would not suggest these as a meal replacement but as a snack or pick me up. They're great after a workout to replenish energyThe Cherry Pie flavor is a combination of sweet and tart with a nice amount of small nut pieces to give it crunch. I would prefer the bar to be just slightly less sweet. The dates give a lot of sweetness when I don't feel it is all that necessary but these bars still taste wonderfully natural (because they are) and fresh. They're small at 1.7 ounces but fill me up even when I am quite hungry. They make a great snack with a cup of tea at night or a quick energy booster when I an out hiking. I eat a lot of different brands of bars and most are filled with stuff that boosts their nutrition and protein levels but it isn't natural. Larabars are incredibly raw and natural and make me feel good about what I am eating. I have tried other flavors as well and many were really good. I just happen to keep going back to this flavor year in and year out. I like these every bit as much as I did when I discovered them in 2008,

I have daily sweet cravings , that are strong. I'm not willing to give up on satisfying my tooth . I finally found a product that is 100%. health conscience made of pure basic ingredients. that are grown not created in a manufacturing plant ( these are just cherries pecans and dates. ). Deliciouly takes care of my sweet tooth. And it doesn't hurt that cherries are one of my favorite flavors . They are soft chewy, and one is plenty for me . So far the Amazon price is right . I'm on my third purchase , might as well place these on my monthly subscription item list . I feel good about my young grandchildren loving these so now I need to increase to two boxes a month . No weird aftertaste like, so many bars because their are no " natural flavors" , or low carb sugar additives ) ECT because no add ins are needed, the flavor profile is deliciously balanced . So great for take n go lunches, sneak in movie theatre snacks, travel snacks, to the beach ECT ( no melting so no messey hands and they do not crumble all over ) .. I haven't tried other flavors yet. The cherry ones are by far the most expensive ,other flavors are half the cost I'm going to buy a variety of single Larabars at grocery store to test try then buy boxes of 12 of delicious ones through Amazon that I like . You can got go wrong with the cherry boxes ( unless you despise cherries) .

I like that this has few ingredients and no added sugar. However, each bar has a fair amount of sugar in it. It is dense so I usually eat only half of the bar in order not to feel too full. Occasionally there is a piece of something like a nut shell in these.
