I thought I would do a post about my favorite on-the-go snack. I have always been a huge fan of granola bars (both their taste and portability can't be beat.) But the nutrition label for a basic store-brand granola bar is a bit scary...
I do like these Clif Builder's bars. They have lots of protein and taste great. The Clif Company is known for using natural, organic ingredients but even their ingredient list is pretty long...
Then I discovered the Larabar. They aren't as sweet as regular granola bars (and there are a few flavors that I really don't like) but check out the ingredients...
Dates, Peanuts and Salt....you can't get much simpler than that, especially for an energy bar. The Peanut Butter Cookie is my favorite flavor (I love anything with peanuts.) They are a bit high in fat (peanuts) and sugar (dates) but I think they are a great substitute for when you need a quick and/or highly portable snack.So good news blog readers!! To honor the one month blogiversary of "Make It Fit," I will be giving away 5 Larabars (YES, FIVE) to one lucky reader. To win, all you need to do is make at least one comment on the blog itself during the next week and next Monday I will announce the Larabar winner on the blog. The more comments you make this week, the more chances you have to win (your name will be entered in each time you comment.)
Talking Point: Do you have an energy bar that you really like? Have you ever tried a Larabar? If so, what is you flavor of choice?
