I talked with a client recently who was preparing for a trip. She was worried about what she would eat while traveling. We all know that in most airports the food is awful (it really sucks actually – overpriced and super poor quality).  Since this client has been working on upgrading the quality of the food she eats, we were coming up with some travel strategies. When I suggested Lara Bars to her, she said she had never heard of them. I want all my clients and readers to know about these bars, which can now be found in most major grocery chains as well as health food stores. (BTW- This is an unsolicited, independent review).

Lara Bars are my go to travel snack. I always have them in my bag and car to eat in a pinch. Unlike other bars that can be loaded with sugar, poor quality oils or hard to digest proteins, Lara Bars are made from real ingredients that you will recognize. This is the ingredient list from my favorite, Cherry Pie: Dates, Almonds, Unsweetened Cherries. That’s it.

Often a whole bar is too much for me to eat at one sitting. I usually take a few bites and save the rest for later, as do my kids. A little goes a long way. I was really excited (honestly, this is the kind of thing that can make my day) when I found a box of bite size Lara Bars at the Brattleboro Coop yesterday. I hadn’t seen them in this size before. Perfect!

Let me know if you’ve tried them and which flavor is your favorite.
