Julia's Food Reviews

Lemon Pie: 7/10 - This lemon bar was fruity, tasty, and tangy. I really liked the muted sugary taste paired with the strong lemon flavor. My one complaint is that the date taste was a little overpowering. Many of the bars have this 'issue' and I am not too fond of it. However, the fact that the bars always have under 7 ingredients always amazes me so that makes up for the heavy date flavor and wacky texture! 

Blueberry Muffin: 6/10 - This bar was not horrible but definitely would not choose to have it again.  I found that the blueberry flavor was too strong, making the bar too sugary with a tart aftertaste. For those who like excessively fruity foods, this is for you!

Cashew Cookie: 3/10 -  This bar was not just unsatisfactory but I actively disliked it. To be honest, I am not quite sure why but the taste was pretty gross! It tasted bitter and left an odd aftertaste.  However, I am definitely exaggerating because that is what I do in this blog. I am sure that many other people will find it to their liking. 

Pecan Pie: 5/10 - This bar was also incredibly sweet! Therefore, making it less enjoyable. The sugar was very intense and unsatisfactory.  It tasted like it was just full of sugar which I am not fond of. Additionally, it was just an odd taste. Something about it was unsatisfying and not what I expected. However, it did surprisingly taste like pecan pie. A gross pie, but still a pie.* * note - I would like to point out that I do love real pecan pies, just not this one. I am a pecan pie stan, do not worry. 

Cherry Pie: 6/10 - Usually, I like Larabars but this one was far too sweet. The texture, as always, was perfectly acceptable while the taste was simply no good. The whole bar just tasted like artificial sugar even though I know it was all-natural. Something about it just seemed off and displeasing.  I wouldn’t say it was disgusting it just was not what I was expecting at all. I was anticipating a more hearty and ‘nutritious’ tasting bar. Overall, would not recommend it unless you like really sugary things.

Banana Bread: 12/10 - This was genuinely the best bar I've ever eaten. I don't know what, but something about it quite literally made me physically smile. The taste was so good I felt like my insides were melting. However, keep in mind that this dramatic review could just be because I was hungry. I am so fascinated at how Lärabar continues to make such appealing products with just 3-6 ingredients! They keep raising the bar every time. (pun intended) Specifically what I liked about this bar was the obvious banana taste and the perfect amount of mix-ins. It was super sugary but definitely not too much sugar and it is very hard to find that 'sweet spot' (pun intended) so props to them! There was a great number of nuts, not too much, not too little. Absolutely everything about this bar was excellent .
