LÄRABAR Banana Chocolate Chip, Gluten Free Vegan Fruit & Nut Bars, 6 ct

I tried the Larabar Pecan Pie bar recently, and I was pleasantly surprised by how much it reminded me of the real dessert. It’s made with just a few simple ingredients, which really lets the natural sweetness of the dates and the crunch of the pecans shine through. It’s a satisfying, no-fuss snack that feels like a treat without any of the guilt.

Dates, Almonds, Pineapple. That's it. It is very, very sweet but it tastes more or less as expected. The names are more of a label than a descriptor, so I didnt actually have expectations of it tasting like a cake. I really just wanted something that tasted primarily of pineapple. It does. Somehow, oddly, it reminds me of Solely organic pineapple jerky. That's just pineapple. Where as this has addition of dates and almonds. Similar texture, and since this has a strong pineapple taste, it ends up reminding me of soft jerky. I really like it. But it sure is sweet!I enjoy it alone, or I break it up into pieces and toss on hot oatmeal or yogurt, or add it into a trail mix. Maybe one day I will cut into smaller pieces and dip it into warm molten chocolate.I'd buy it again. Yum!

I love having my favorite varieties of Larabars, Pineapple Upside Down Cake and Lemon, in the pantry for healthy snacks and easy additions to lunch bags. They are made with simple, delicious fruits and nuts and they always taste delicious.Today, when I was opening my first bar of this16-bar box of Pineapple Upside Down Cake that just landed on my front porch, I noticed the “Best By” date was less than 3 months away. Initially, I thought I’d received an old box, got grumpy about it, and planned to ask the seller to send me a new box. But, like a true snack-fiend, I decided to eat my bar first. It was fresh and yummy. It tasted just as spectacular as always-a perfect treat. This lead me to wonder what the shelf-life of Larabars actually is. And, while most people probably intuitively know this, I was today’s year old when I learned that a Larabar’s shelf-life is 9-months which makes absolute sense as this is a food made without any artificial ingredients or preservatives.The company’s focus on healthy, clean-ingredient sweet treats means the bars won’t stay perfect forever. So, I won’t stockpile my Larabars. I’ll just subscribe, save, and savor the goodness.

This is a fruit and nut bar, just to be crystal clear. I knew what to expect as I'd had LARABARs before but the texture might surprise someone who is expecting something cakey. They are dense and heavy. The flavor was nice.

Very good and filling! Healthy bar when you’re on the go. This holds me down for a few hours. I love that you could get the single bars to see if they're good. You don’t want to commit to an entire box to not like the Taste. I keep coming back to cherry pie and I don’t see myself quitting a good thing!

When it comes to food, I usually read the reviews to see about quantity, quality, packaging, but when I read about how ppl feel about the taste, I discard it as i have to see for myself. I have learned to realize my taste in things are quite particular. My take on the chocolate coconut larabars was, that they filled me up and they were good. This was surprising because im not vegan, and not a super healthy eater, but i do have a dairy allergy. So it is quite hard to find good chocolate bars with no dairy. It was also surprising that it didnt taste weird, because of all the vegan food ive tried, it has tasted weird to me. And the last surprising thing to me, was that it filled me up. Normally i loveeee to snack left and right. I gave up coffee and since that was my breakfast, i needed a replacement, well these are it! Seriously... it has been a perfect fit for me. It is not sweet, not overpowering, love the nuts, and love that is semi-chewy. I also bought the banana bread, and it is spectacular.So, if your undecided about this and dont want to spend 26 bucks on this, do what i did... go to the supermarket and spend 2-3 bucks per bar (much more expensive if you dont buy in bulk), and grab a couple as tests. And when you find what you want... come to Amazon, and buy it. That way, your not like the lady who spends 26 bucks to try one out, and has the luxury to throw them all out. If all else fails, gift them.

It is a very competitive price and far less expensive than other stores that sell it retail. The flavor is good but nothing unique - it was fresh and well packed and got shipped immediately. It has a good apple flavor.BTW - Lara sold this company a long time ago to General Mills for $55 million.I always READ THE LABEL and avoid anything that includes "Natural Flavor" because it is NOT natural but petrochemical and artificial. This fruit nut bar is very simple, clean ingredients - just dried fruit and nuts - most of the Larabars have less than 4 ingredients and I like that - it doesn't need a bunch of additives. I like to keep a couple of Larabars in my purse for when I am out doing errands and get "Hangry" and need a quick snack to keep up my energy.

I love fall and all the fall flavors, but consistently run into issues where things that are pumpkin spice for the season are exceptionally bad. I'm thrilled that wasn't the case with these! I like most of larabars lineup, but this is def a new favorite. Strong spice flavor, very moist and smooth, feels like the perfect fresh fall snack. Very pleased and will def be getting these again in the future.
