The bar is Certified Gluten-Free and Non-GMO Project Verified as well. You’ll find a whopping seven grams of protein and filling three grams of fiber in one bar for a super satisfying snack.
“I could eat it everyday!” a tester said. “I love how simple the ingredients are — no gimmicks or unnecessary stuff, just purely delicious.” Another added that it was the best bar they tasted from the bunch, noting that the texture was great and that the bar itself was very filling, which seemed to be a common sentiment among testers who tried it. “We thought the bar tasted good and I would purchase again for my husband to eat after a bike ride,” another tester commented.
8. LÄRABAR Fruit & Nut Bar, Cherry Pie (6 Count)
BEST FRUIT & NUT GRANOLA BARS
PROS
CONS
A better-for-you take on cherry pie in bar form, it only has three simple ingredients: dates, almonds and unsweetened cherries. The Non-GMO Project Verified choice still feels decadent and has a perfect tart cherry flavor but is free from added sugar. The brand itself is committed to creating convenient snacks made with just a few simple, whole-food ingredients and free from artificial sweeteners.
Testers were amazed that the vegan bar was made with such few ingredients but still tasted great. The Cherry Pie flavor was top-rated in our evaluations, with one tester saying it was the best flavor they had tried of all the bars they tasted. But some commented that the texture was a bit mushy and just wasn’t for them. The bars are on the softer side but deliver a great filling bite.
