Pure Bar Giveaway

March 26, 2009

Good morning! Let’s whiz through the oats so we can get to the good stuff! :mrgreen:

In the mix:

  • 1/3 cup of dry oats
  • 1 tbsp ground flaxseed meal
  • 1/2 cup cinnamon Puffins (cooked in and on top)
  • 1 cup water
  • Raisins
  • Walnuts
  • 2 spoonfuls of peanut butter 

Delish and very creamy! 

Pure Bar Review

Let me start off by pointing out that my love for Larabars is enormous! I obviously eat them frequently and rave about them quite a lot. And, hoestly, I never thought a bar would rival their awesomeness… until now! PURE BARS give Larabars a run for their money! And because Larabars are so popular in the blogworld, I have decided to compare the two bars as part of my review. 

The taste and texture of Pure Bars are a lot like Larabars– strong flavors of dried fruit (mostly dates) pervade the bar and the consistency is soft and chewy with subtle bites of crunch. The first Pure Bar that I tried was the Chocolate Chip Trailmix Bar, which had a nice combination of dates, apples, raisins, cashews, sunflower seeds, and almonds, which made the bar crunchy and chewy. Agave nectar adds to the sweetness. The only noticeable difference between Pure Bars and Larabars is the shape. While Larabars are long and narrow, Pure Bars are short and more compact. And the most important part of the review: Pure Bars are delicious!

An energy bar that is organic, raw, gluten-free and delightful! Made with fruit and nuts, it is amazingly chewy and sweet.

Even in a good-sized city like Boston, Pure Bars are a little tricky to find, so I am sure in other parts of the country (and world), they may even be more difficult to track down. But, never fear, Veronica at Pure Bar has offered to give away THREE prizes– each of which will be filled with a mixed box of Pure Bars, some coupons, and a cute chico bag. Lots of goodies!

Here’s how to enter the giveaway:

On this post, leave me a comment telling me which flavor of Pure Bar you would most like like to try (or which flavor is your favorite) and then link back to this post. If you don’t have a blog, please tell your friends about it! ;-)

Friday night, I will pick three winners via the Random Integer Generator. I will announce the winners on Saturday, so be sure to check back over the weekend.

As a vegan, I find if difficult to find bars that I can eat (except for Larabars of course). But these pure bars look AMAZING. I’m especially excited about the choc chip trail mix flavor.

I’ve been wanting to try these guys for some time now! They all look so good, it’s so hard to decide what I’d most like to try. It’s a tossup between Chocolate Chip Trailmix and Wild Blueberry…but I guess I’d go with the blueberry.

HOLY COW !!!!!!!!!!! This BAR is out-of-sight !!!!!!!!!!! I’ve been Diabetic for 28 years and this snack is truly a blessing of the first degree! When my sugar runs low and my energy wanes I pop one into the furnace and, blam !!, … my blood sugar stays in the good range, and I have a surge of healthy energy to forge ahead with a long stint of exercise, or a long session of teaching. No cloudy mental stress anymore. I would go for the Cherry Cashew, but they’re all just great !!!!!!!!!!!!

J B May 3, 2009 at 10:44 pm

Great site, enjoy all of the information, and comments. Keep up the good work !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Karen Lucas May 13, 2009 at 10:28 am

My mouth waters thinking about Cherry Cashew!
Pure Bars have become my new dessert, satisfying a sweet tooth and there’s no guilt!

Ariel August 14, 2009 at 2:04 am

My favorite is Chocolate Brownie, but I can’t seem to find them anywhere. They all sound delicious!

Linda Ikeda October 13, 2009 at 6:21 am

Hi Tina,
It is interesting that you liked Pure Bars.
There is another new kind of bars that is healthy and unprocessed, unrefined.
Not quite raw but almost. Would you like to try? Please let me know I can send you
some samples. Where can I send it?
Thank you, Linda

Carla Ehrenreich October 19, 2009 at 10:39 pm

emmy November 9, 2009 at 3:21 pm

I’ve never had one, but would LOVE to try the Cherry Cashew..I”m a huge PB Larabar fan so I trust your judgement and know I would love PUREBARS!

Katie Stevens November 18, 2009 at 2:55 pm

My 3 year old and 18 month old refuse to eat fruit and these bars are great! BUT really expensive! They love the blueberry and apple.
