About the Brand

It started out as just a hike, no different than countless others I've taken into the beautiful Rocky Mountains of Colorado. Little did I know I was about to come up with a mountain of an idea: Combine wholesome ingredients such as fruits and nuts to create a food product that's tasty, healthy and convenient.

In that instant, in May 2000, LÄRABAR was born. After scouring the aisles of grocery stores and noting popular flavors of ice cream and cookies, I delved into my own product development. Natural foods, I believed, should be fun and enjoyable as well as good for you. With friends and family serving as focus groups, I tinkered with recipes until a consensus on yummi-ness was reached.

The next step was to launch a company to market what would initially be five delicious LÄRABAR flavors: Cherry Pie, Apple Pie, Cashew Cookie, Banana Cookie, and Chocolate Coconut Chew. I also assembled a sophisticated manufacturing arm...what amounted to be a Cuisinart and a rolling pin. The first batch of bars I produced for retail had to be sealed by hand - all 500 of them!

Thank goodness we have machines for that job today. After all, we're producing millions of LÄRABAR's every year. They are a healthy indulgence you can feel good about eating.

And "feeling good" is what it's all about. Believe it or not, I used to be a junk food junkie - until I discovered how natural foods enlivened my mind, body and spirit. A passion for healthy living soon followed, and continues to be a driving force behind everything I do professionally and personally. I really appreciate the opportunity I have to make a positive difference in the world we live in.

Health is indeed your greatest wealth.
Lara, CEO/ Founder

As indulgent as a fudge brownie. The richness comes from pure organic chocolate and luscious cashews - the satisfying crunch from almonds, walnuts, and whole cacao beans. Other benefits: 5 grams of natural fiber, more than 20% of the recommended daily value, as well as the almonds' 3 grams of Omega 6 essential fatty acids, and Vitamin E. Dates contribute to the 13 essential vitamins and minerals, and cashews are rich in iron, zinc and B Vitamins. Who knew a brownie could be so good for you?

This review is from: Larabar Jocalat, Chocolate, 1.7-Ounce Bars, 16-Count (Health and Beauty)

If you can get one at the store first, obviously try it before ordering a 16 pack.

This is the plain Jocalat bar and I can say I am hooked.

We gave up processed sugar and are going the organic route on everything. And this is perfect for a chocolate fix. It's great because there is no added sugar (or sugar substitute) unless you count figs.

If you are addicted to the fat (butter) and sugar of the majority of candy bars, this is different.

Tastes what I remember a brownie to be like except less sweet.
When you get off sugar, your tastebuds change. It's worth it though. Some other people, if they are referring to this actual flavor, probably are thinking it isn't sweet enough.

Did not care at all for the orange flavored one. Haven't tried the mint. Coffee/hot variety goes against what I'm doing health wise. I'm alright with pure chocolate though. I think this is as good as it gets.

This review is from: Larabar Jocalat, Chocolate Mint, 1.7-Ounce Bars (Pack of 16) (Health and Beauty)

While some of Larabars have a thick grainy-nut texture, this particular product is very smooth and almost tastes like chocolate candy. For those of us who can't eat real candy because of allergies, this one is a winner! It almost tastes like a soft Girl Scout thin mint cookie.

Wonderful healthy alternative to modern day candy. Don't expect it to taste like a hershey bar, but it does taste very good and I feel better after eating it.
