Larabars – what the heck is all the fuss about?
Here is the scoop on the Peanut Butter Cookie Larabar.
Smooth, moist and chewy, you’ll swear you’re eating a cookie just out of the oven. Peanuts, one of the few food sources of Vitamin D, also contribute more than 30 essential nutrients and phytonutrients, such as protein, Vitamin E, magnesium, phosphorus and manganese. Dates and salt impart a sweet, savory flavor, along with Vitamin E and 16 essential vitamins, minerals and electrolytes. Each bar also provides 3 grams of heart-healthy Omega-6 fatty acids.
My connection with them – Food for the the hungry hiker!
So while researching and gathering my food supplies for my upcoming Thru-Hike of the JMT (John Muir Trail), I came across a reader who touted the wonders of the Larabar. I suddenly remembered trying them awhile back on a day hike with friends from Seattle, only to find that they were not available locally. Well that has all changed and now I am into them all over again.
Today I am looking to purchase a variety of my snacks, and these are on the top of my list. Once I complete my hike I will post reviews of my gear, food, and the overall trip. Stay tuned!
