LaraBar Cherry Pie Bar
By: | Feb 18, 2007
This is the last bar to be reviewed in Snack Bar Review Week, and I think I saved the best for last - unknowingly. The Lara Cherry Pie Bar tastes delicious 
. I love it, Love it, LOVE it! I don't think anyone can accuse this of tasting like a candy bar. The ingredients are simply dates, almonds and unsweetened cherries. That's it! The bar is chewy, moist, heavy on the dates and cherries and an added crunch from the almonds. It's a good source of fiber (18% of the RDA), gluten free, dairy free and soy free AND (as if that wasn't enough), you get 1 serving of fruit from this bar. Did I already mention that it's delicious?!
The Lara Cherry Pie bar is 48 grams with 190 calories, 8 grams of saturated fat which is 13% of the RDA, 0.5 grams of saturated fat (3% of the RDA), no trans fat, cholesterol or sodium, 4 grams of protein and 28 grams of total carbohydrates, which includes 21 grams of sugars and 18% of the RDA for fiber (4 grams).
This may not be the lowest calorie bar, but consider that it is totally natural and has only 3 ingredients. To decrease the calories means using less of any of those ingredients, which will translate to a smaller bar (or rather a bar that weighs less). I wouldn't change a thing! One bar cost $1.29 at the time of purchase from Whole Foods. It's also available at their online store [link] or at Amazon.com [link

I love those bars! I like the cashew bar best.
Mhmm, these are pretty yummy. The banana cookie one is probably my favorite...apple pie's not bad either.
Splendiferous site, by the way.
You've got to try the lemon flavor, that, cashew cookies, and cherry pie are my favories. Also, check out CLIF Nectar Bars in chocolate walnut...AMAZING!
I think Cherry Pie is by far the best, but Apple Pie, Ginger Snap and Cinnamon Roll are tied for second!
I love lara bars. Bora bora are very good too - I got my personal trainer hooked on them!
I just tried this based on your glowing review, and I LOVED it. Thanks for steering me toward such a yummy snack.
I love all these bars! The chocolate Mole is the best. Chocolate cinnamon, and chili pepper! Yummy
I like the chocolate flavor myself. They are irresistible.
