LaraBar

Has anyone tried Larabar's? You can find them in the health food section of your grocery store. My boss told me about them so I decided to try one for bfast this a.m. NOT bad!

The ingredients in the one I got are only: almonds, dates, and unsweetened bananas...so how could they be bad? Although its says 18g sugar I am hoping that won't make me dump or anything...but be like yogurt sugar? Also has 6g protein, 5g fiber and 100 calories.
They are gluten free, dairy free, soy free, vegan, etc.

Thanks for posting this.  I had wondered about those, but as you stated the sugar is high, and well...at this stage of the game I would def dump on that :(

Hey, but 6g protein with 5g fiber is awesome!!  I'm sure in a pinch even having half of it would be ok for me. 

Thanks again!  Oh, and I see that you only have 12 lbs to go?  You go girl!!! Yay you!!!

Well, I didn't dump! I usually can't go past 11g of sugar (the real icky added refined kinda sugar) per serving...so this 18g of sugar must've come from the dates or something? I mean where else if there wasn't anything but those 3 things listed as ingredients, right?! I couldn't even finish the bar its so dense. But really tasted like banana bread!

This is what I came up with in a pinch anyways...

Yes, 12 pounds to go...but they are the hardest since its regain weight! Ugh!

I haven't tried the Larabars, but I found a good one today, too.  Have you tried the Marathon Energy Bar from Snickers?  I assumed that if it was from Snickers it would be too high in sugar, so I'm really glad I read the label.

150 calories
11 grams protein
9 grams sugar
7 grams fiber

This is for the dark chocolate one, and it was good.  11 grams of protein for only 150 calories is really good, and it didn't cause me to dump.  Granted I could only eat 1/2 of it at a time, but that makes it even better--two snacks for the price of one!

Other good protein bars are the Zone bars I like the Choc. Mint and the peanut butter ones.....Also Balance Gold bars..

Balance Gold Choc. Mint- 210 cal. 6g. Fat 14g. sugar 14g. Protein

A little high in sugar, but I can handle sugar....
