vegan energy bars

[Guest guest]

I found a vegan energy bar I like: Larabar, Cherry Pie flavor (larabar.com,

was on sale at Whole Foods last week). The only ingredients are dates,

almonds, and unsweetened cherries. Raw and unprocessed, but my fingers do

not get sticky from handling it. On the neg side, the label does not say

the ingredients are organically grown (unless I missed some small print),

and a bit pricey at 1.50 each on sale (at 1.7 oz., that comes to $14 a

pound for essentially dates and almonds in a convenient package). It's in

the category of once-in-awhile treat for me rather than meal replacement

because like most energy bars this stuff does tend to stick to teeth, so is

better eaten with crunchy vegs.

 

I don't like any of the other vegan energy bars I've tried. Most are much

too sweet for me. In this one, the cherries add a tart note.
