What We’re Eating Too Much Of: Larabar’s Uber
On days we test recipes for the magazine, I eat a Lärabar when I reach my desk in the morning. It appeases without spoiling my appetite. Plus, its ingredients are whole foods, and I can count the entire ingredient list for my fave bar—Peanut Butter & Jelly—on the fingers of one hand. But, I admit, the raw cookie dough texture isn’t easy to love.
On days we test recipes for the magazine, I eat a Lärabar when I reach my desk in the morning. It appeases without spoiling my appetite. Plus, its ingredients are whole foods, and I can count the entire ingredient list for my ex-fave bar—Peanut Butter & Jelly—on the fingers of one hand. But, I admit, the raw cookie dough texture isn’t easy to love.
Now on store shelves: Über, a Lärabar with, well, über chunks of dried fruits and nuts. There are whole (intact!) almonds in the Cherry Cobbler bar, the closest to PB&J. There’s also a pleasing mix of salty and sweet, and a satisfying nutty crunch. The bars hit stores nationwide this week!
Your turn: What have you been eating too much of lately?
