Product Review: Cherry Pie LaraBar

Regular readers will know that I say this quite often, but I have no idea how LaraBar creates so many different flavors with so few ingredients. The cherry pie flavor contains only dates, almonds and unsweetened cherries. Each bar contains ½ cup of fruit and is “a good source of fiber”.

Ease of Use

LaraBars store well, travel well and can be eaten everywhere.

Appearance

All three ingredients are visible in this bar. The dates create the dark brown base, cherries add a deeper speckling of color, and almonds highlight the whole thing.

Taste and Texture

It reminds me more of a cherry crisp than a cherry pie. The flavor offers the same pop of cherry that you get with a classic dessert, it is just more portable. The bar is smooth to chew with just enough texture from the almonds to make it interesting.

Versatility

My first thought here is that this is the perfect substitute for the McDonald’s pies that I can no longer eat. They have more cherry flavor, they’re healthier and I’m guaranteed never to burn my mouth with molten filling. Add a scoop of frozen yogurt and I’m set!

Overall Value

Under $2, enough said.

Rating

This bar is pure flavor. I love it.
