I never knew exactly what a vegan was, but your recipes and pictures are awesome and inspiring. You may turn a lifelong omnivore into a vegan someday. Keep up the good work.

It's more in the neighborhood of 80-85% organic and certified organic by the state of Utah. It's hard to be 100% organic with so many raw items in the bar, but we'll keep working to get there.<BR/><BR/>If you'd like to sample any of our new flavors from the new line, drop me a line and I'll send some your way - kendall AT the probar dot comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32492687.post-14665907830688845522008-04-10T08:20:00.000-07:002008-04-10T08:20:00.000-07:00After reading your bar review I bought a couple of...After reading your bar review I bought a couple of Clif bars to try. I had "carrot cake" with a cup of tea and the sugar content was way too intense for me. Never again. I gave the other bar away.<BR/>After a decades of having a powerful sweet tooth, I recently tamed the sugar monster. Now, fruit satisfies.<BR/><BR/>KimAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32492687.post-43620552769934934972008-04-05T08:15:00.000-07:002008-04-05T08:15:00.000-07:00I think the raw bars taste too raw.

Bars are the only way to support my dietary choices. <BR/><BR/>I'm sad you didn't like the Organic food bars! Those are by far my favorite; raw, whole foods, and 100% organic, these are the ones I feel best about giving to my daughter. My local grocery no longer carries them, but I drive 30 minutes to get them elsewhere!<BR/><BR/>And I found the Odwalla bars to have something of a chemically taste/aftertaste, which I chalk up to the excessive chemical fortification they use.<BR/><BR/>I totally agree with the Larabars Love. (except Cashew Cookie is my fave flavor! LOL!)<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the excellent blog!<BR/> <BR/>vegyogini: I had a similar issue with the larabars until I considered how much of the fat was from nut meats, which is so important for our bodies!elizadoohickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01619295952214896945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32492687.post-49156336480380907182008-04-04T07:28:00.000-07:002008-04-04T07:28:00.000-07:00it's weird, I'm not really a bar person, but it's ...it's weird, I'm not really a bar person, but it's not that I don't like them, I just don't buy them. That said, thank you for this rundown!! Having no experience a writeup like this is gold! <BR/><BR/>Actually, I have tried the Larabars (yum!), and I used to ADORE the Nature's Path Optimum bars - what do you think of those ones? The blueberry flax one was my favourite, it had a great crispy texture and blueberry flavour, and also the cranberry ginger!Liz Ranger (Bubble Tea for Dinner)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10964705723198215243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32492687.post-77097061608122800962008-04-03T10:08:00.000-07:002008-04-03T10:08:00.000-07:00Great post.

I'm a huge Luna bar fan (they are my daily breakfast on weekdays) and I've recently started eating Clif bars for dinner on the nights that I'm running around. My favorite Clif bar flavor is Peanut Toffee Buzz w/ the Crunchy Peanut Butter one being the runner up. I'm among the few vegans that haven't tried Lara bars. I just seriously object to the amount of fat they contain for so few calories. It's not worth it to me. Someday, I'll give them a try just to say that I did, though! I really appreciate you taking the guess work out of the rest of these!Jenni (aka Vegyogini)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04248320434337952085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32492687.post-50289538180424089952008-04-02T19:40:00.000-07:002008-04-02T19:40:00.000-07:00great bar reviewgreat bar reviewLori- the Pleasantly Plump Veganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01699666546756497381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32492687.post-70220993061145576982008-04-02T19:19:00.000-07:002008-04-02T19:19:00.000-07:00Love your bar post!

I did my thesis on bars (Factors influencing nutrition bar purchases among natural foods shoppers, to be exact) and I didn't eat one for about a year after finishing the project!
