Larabars, Larabars...everyone is talking about how much they love Larabars. Apparently, these delicious bars are a top favorite for everyone, not just me.

The Taste: This particular cashew cookie bar gets my extra love. Larabars have taken cashews and dates and ground them up into a bar, resulting in a natural tasting sweet, chewy cashew-flavored treat. They are very soft, which makes them ultra delicious.

The Nutrition: I am a little torn about these bars because they are high in calories, but at the same time they are very nutritious. Although they are very high in fat, the fat comes from cashews, which contain the good monounsaturated fat that lowers cholesterol. They also have loads of omega 3, are high in minerals and have no sodium. Larabars have no added sweeteners and are great for those with special dietary needs, as they are gluten free and vegan. I would try and keep these to a once-in-awhile healthful treat because of their calorie count.

The Flavors: Larabars other flavors are Lemon, Cinnamon Roll, Key Lime Pie, Coconut Cream Pie, Peanut Butter Cookie, Cherry Pie, Ginger Snap, Peanut Butter & Jelly, Chocolate Coconut, Banana Bread, Tropical Fruit, Cocoa Mole, Pecan Pie and Apple Pie.

This WEEK: Foods for a Chocolate Fix
 

A friend was kind enough to give me a bag of Ghirardelli peanut butter chocolates awhile back. As I went to put them away, I decided to eat “just one” so I could, you know, politely let the friend know how delicious they were. I’m sure we all know where this story is going. A whole huge bunch of chocolates (I have no idea how many, it’s all a big blur, really) and a terrible tummy ache later, I decided to arm myself with a list of the best options for a heathful chocolate fix...
