Have you tried Larabar’s new ΓΕber bar? Holy goodness it’s delicious!
A few weeks ago, Larabar sent me their four ΓΕber flavors to try, but Mal ate three of the four before I had a chance to try them. The Cherry Cobbler was fair game, so I tried it last night, and it’s seriously the best bar I’ve ever eaten. It was sweet and salty, dessert-like, and really tasted like cherry cobbler. It was basically a mix between a Larabar bar and a KIND barββchewy and fruity, but with tons of nuts. I’m a huge fan of these babies. You gotta try them!
Dinner
Last night’s dinner was chicken with a peanut dipping sauce, roasted red and green bell peppers, and roasted Brussels sprouts. The peanut sauce was really good, so I ended up dipping all of my veggies into it.
After dinner, I enjoyed a couple of glasses of wine on the couch while I watched TV with Mal and Murphy. (My wine glass is from my bridal shower!)

When I first started losing weight, I thought salads were a βsafeβΒ choice since they were made with lots of low-calorie and nutritious veggies. That’s partly trueββsalads are a great way to pack more veggies into your diet, but they can also wreck your weight loss efforts if you aren’t careful. Here are some do’s and don’t to keep your salads figure friendly: Surprising Do’s and Don’ts of Salads.
Question of the Day
What’s your favorite kind of bar?
P.S. I read an interesting article in Woman’s Health the other day about meat and labeling. I knew βnaturalβΒ was a unless label, but I didn’t realize that βgrass-fedβΒ was also meaningless. I thought you guys might find it helpful too.

The UBER bars look uber delicious π I like Lara’s, but sometimes I feel like they need a bit more texture. Sounds like a winner!
I’ve been liking the Luna Protein bars in Cookie Dough flavor recently. So yummy!
I LIVE for Kind Bars and Larabars. Of the Kind variety, I can’t get enough of the Blueberry Vanilla or the Macadamia Apricot. When it comes to Kind Bars, I love the Apple Pie and Blueberry Muffin. I must try the Ubers!
i’ve been hooked on clif bars for the last 6 months or so but i’m looking to change it up so I hope Wegman’s (my local grocery store) has these soon.
thanks for the meat and labeling article. i had no idea!!! π
I’m a fan of most all Luna and Kashi bars – can’t go wrong! I may have to try these Uber bars… TGIF! π
That bar sounds delicious! My favorite is chocolate raspberry Luna bar
Those look amazing! I love PURE Bars. My favorite flavor is the orange. Cute wine glass! I have a question. My birthday is coming up and Im debating wether or not I want to get cross fit for a gift. I know that you talk about all of the benefits, but I am terrified! The heaviest weights I have lifted were 40lbs and I couldn’t move my arms the next day! I am also training for a half marathon too, so would that be a great way to cross train? I don’t want to spam your blog with a lengthy question. Have a great day π
@Christina: Don’t be scared!! You can scale any workout to your ability. When they prescribe a weight, it’s just a suggestion. Last night at CF I did our workout with just the bar, no weight added, because that’s what I was capable of. I was terrified to start too, but everyone at my box is so incredibly nice and supportive, I love it and I can’t ever imagine giving up CrossFit!!
@Hayley: Thanks girlie! π
i just picked up a bananas foster uber bar but haven’t tried it yet..I can’t wait to try it now!
I have a packet of those new Larabars waiting for me to try! I’m not sure why I haven’t tried them because I freakin’ LOVE Larabars so I imagine these to be the tastiest things ever…haha!
i LOVE those Uber bars too! i think i like them more than the original larabars actually, which is saying a lot! the cherry cobbler was probably my 3rd favorite out of the four. the bananas foster was my favorite with the rolled nuts bar coming in second. you need to try them all!
@Ashley @ My Food ‘N’ Fitness Diaries: Bananas Foster sounds really good! I need to try these.
I like wine bars.
Just kidding. Well, not really. But I also love the fruity Kind bars. I always keep a bar with me in case of emergency (aka sudden, intense hunger!), but most chocolate-y bars melt and get kind of gross after being in my purse or my car. Kind bars just get a little soft. I love that!
Ha! Me too! π
favorite kind of bar is an open bar! jk….(maybe not?) seriously love lara bars π
LOL!
Love the new uber bars too. My fave bar is bonk breaker and I don’t even exercise so I know you would esp love them: http://theactorsdiet.com/2010/12/11/wishbone/
This week im loving Lunabars, especially the ‘cookies n cream’ flavor :)…tastes almost like an Oreo!
Luna has some great ones. Lemon Zest is kind of refreshing, chocolate raspberry is sinful, and the chocolate dipped coconut- amazing!
I love Luna Bars! I can’t even pick a flavor because I like them all so much π
I love the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Larabars! Just like candy! Soooo good! I will definitely have to try the ΓΕber Lara bars soon. I honestly haven’t met a Larabar I didn’t like π
I was excited to learn more about (and try) the Uberbars, however, I just saw that they are not vegan, so I am dismayed!
I love the new Luna Bar flavor, Honey Peanut Pretzel. It’s so good…sweet and salty.
I’m really annoyed to learn that grass-fed basically means nothing. I guess if the grass is treated with pesticides though, then it’s not really better. Oi!
I have one of those Larabars just waiting to be tried! This makes me even more excited for it π
I have to say my favorite was the bananas foster and the cherry was my least of the 4 uber bars.
I’ve seen these bars pop up on a bunch of bars — they look delicious! I love “regular” Larabars, so I’m sure I would love these too!
The Banana flavored Uber is soooo good
Everyone is talking about how good these bars are! Must give them a try:)
have you had the new Vega Sport Protein bars?? They are insane. I have never had a bar that tasted so ridiculously amazing. They are just $$$$$$ :/
I love the Uber bars too however once you read the label they have brown rice syrup in them. Not safe if you are eating strict paleo…but none the less a tasty treat!!
I’m allergic to sooo many bars, but I recently discovered a nut free brand called The Good Bean that uses chickpeas in its bars! It sounds weird, but they are really delicious!
I’ve been a litttle skeptical about the new larabers, but I think I might have to try ’em now. I have a slight obsession with ANYTHING sweet and salty. Do the nuts make them crunchy though? Cause I’m really just a chewy person when it comes to sweets.
i am really enjoying clif bars lately, and i love my home made lara bars. the uber bar sounds yummy especially in cherry cobbler flavor! i felt really silly, i read your question of the day and i thought… what does a bar (like that serves alcohol) have to do with today’s post?
Not the healthiest bar on the planet, but if I need a bar I really love Clif bar chocolate chip flavor. So tasty!
You have to have to HAVE TO try picky bars and bearded brothers bars. They are the best thing ever. All natural.
All their flavours rock
I especially love the coconut mango flavour of bearded brothers and the smooth caffeinator of picky bars. The others are great as well.
Thank so much for the recommendation. I just posted about my new favorite snack bar last night actually: http://backatsquarezero.blogspot.com/2012/05/sweet-tooth.html
The Kashi tastes more like dessert so I’d love to have something to throw in my bag for a long day at work or post workout.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Cliff bars! ps- I got married 7-12-08, too!
4 years coming up soon! π
I really like the Larabar’s. My daughter and I have tried a couple and they’re tasty. I’ll have to keep an eye out for the Uber bar!
I love Kind bars! Will definitely be looking for these – pretty sure I have a coupon from the whole foods website too…
Thanks for the link regarding meat labeling!
I can’t wait to try these bars! Love that there is another gluten free bar that is tasty for sale! I love the salty and sweet combo!
I like both Lara and Kind bars. They are both GF and are an easy to reach for snack while on the go item for myself.
I have not seen the Uber Lara bar here yet, but it does sound and look good, so I think I will need to buy a few on line and see. But a combo of both of my favorite go to bars would be an awesome thing in my book.
Thanks for posting about it.
and it’s nice to see I am not the only one who drinks from their wedding related glasses π
I haven’t tried those bars yet. Most bars taste the same to me which is why I really like Rise Bars. I reviewd them in my blog. If you like dates and coconut and figs you will love these bars.
