Julia's Food Reviews

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 . 

Peanut Chocolate Chip: 8/10 - This was a very  well-made bar! There was an intense peanut and chocolate flavor which I found impressive. Usually, I take points off because the flavor is never strong enough. But, this time I only took points off because I simply did not really like the taste. I did, however, appreciate the way you could taste the individual nuts and chocolate chips.   The small, crunchy nuts and chocolate also complimented the texture of the soft bar well. Another plus was that it kept me full and energized enough to play well in field hockey! I would 100% recommend this bar to those who do enjoy heavily peanut butter-flavored things!

Take 5: 9/10 - I really enjoyed this candy bar! The only reason it got a point off is that it just wasn't that original. But it would be near impossible to get a 100% original flavor or idea so I am not holding a grudge. I loved how this bar had a really great ratio of all 5 tastes and main ingredients! You could taste each one clearly!  It was also cool how the creamy chocolate, caramel, and peanut butter were beautifully complemented by the crunchy pretzels and peanuts. I'm definitely glad Reese's manufactured this delicious item!

Mango Passion Fruit Juice: 10/10 - I loved this juice! It was sweet, flavorful, and refreshing! You could really taste the mango and passionfruit. It was altogether a great product. It also had just the perfect amount of sugar. I hate when things are too sweet but this had the perfect flavor combinations. 

Strawberry Chocolate Chip: 6/10 - I actually did not particularly like this flavor. It was way too sweet for my taste. However, I do always appreciate how you can really taste the chocolate in Lärabars. Additionally, I enjoy the soft and creamy texture of them.  But I did take the four full points off because I thought the overpowering, sugary fruit taste was too weird.
