larabars

I am always in  need of an afternoon pick-me-up snack, and protein or granola bars seem to do the trick.  However, the ones that I used to eat were dubbed “healthy” but actually contained artificial ingredients and a trans-fatty chocolate coating.  How did I not know these had the nutritional values of a candy bar?  Luckily I was fortunate enough to receive  a few flavors of the amazing larabars!  They contain no artificial ingredients and taste like heaven!  They are non-gmo, gluten-free and nutrient dense.  They contain only a few ingredients, and I can pronounce them all!  Replace them as your new go-to snack. I promise they will keep you full and give you energy until your next meal.  My favorite flavors are chocolate chip cookie dough and blueberry muffin, but I am sure they are all delicious!
