LARABAR

One of my favorite snacks is LARABAR. In fact I like them so much I buy small sample size bars and give them away in my corporate workshops. This is why I like LARABAR:

• Each bar contains no more than six ingredients.
• The ingredients are 100% whole food, unsweetened fruit and nuts.
• No sugar added (the sugar in the bars naturally comes from the fruit, not high fructose corn syrup)
• They are gluten free, dairy free, soy free, cholesterol and sodium free and vegan.
• They contain the healthy omega 3 & 6 fats which come from the nuts.

They are a delicious nutritional powerhouse!

Americans spent 20 million dollars purchasing LARABARS last year. My favorite flavor is key lime pie; there are 16 flavors to chose from. You can find them in any health food store, grocery store, even Target and Wal-Mart. I carry Larabar Fruit & Nut Food Bar, 1.8-Ounce Bars (Pack of 16)with me to the gym, on airplanes and in my bag during the day.

Of course, I’m a fan of the LARABAR business story as well. A couple years ago Lara Merriken, creator and founder of LARABAR, went on a hike in the Rocky Mountains. She wanted to take along a healthy snack that wasn’t full of sugar and preservatives; but nothing was available. She began mixing together different ingredients in her kitchen to form the healthy (and tasty) snack bar. Finally LARABAR was created. It now dominates the snack bar industry. Here is a video of Lara telling the story in her own words.
