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

- 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!
