Caley Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 A friend made me lara bars the other day- she only used dates, almonds and coconut, they were delicious but I want to try some other combinations!

jenn fengels Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Found a bunch of great recipes here: http://www.damyhealth.com/2011/03/how-to-make-homemade-lara-bars/ I've only made the Pecan Pie (added cinnamon) and it is DIVINE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renee Lee Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Be careful! These are very very very barely compliant! proceed with caution! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susanm Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I thought vanilla extract was a no? Can you say why would these be marginally ok, but, say, an "ingredient compliant" bread would not be, if eaten as a snack? I've been wondering. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renee Lee Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Sorry. I didn't click the link to see the extract. Made with the extract, they are not whole 30 compliant. Larabars are an emergency food. Used as a snack or a treat, they're really not keeping in line with the goals of the program. They are allowed in emergency situations because they are portable and really easy to toss in your purse or glove box to grab if you're stranded somewhere unexpected with no compliant food around They differ from paleo breads in a pretty subtle, but distinct way. Paleo breads are paleofying old food habits, no question. Lara bars are compliant sugar bombs, but have a place, depending on how they're treated. M&D have learned through experience that if there are no restrictions on them, people over rely on them and miss the point (and results) of the program In either case, there are much better choices out there!

ladyhoward Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I totally agree. Larabars are convenient, and they were a great go-to option when there weren't many others, but it's so easy to defer to a Larabar instead of taking the time to make better choices. It's no Snickers, but psychologically it's practically the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
