Are these european version of Larabars?

I've seen people mention Larabars quite a bit. They aren't available in Ireland but we have bars called 'Nakd' here which I'm thinking might be something similar? The 'Nakd nudie' bars (I didn't make up the name!) are not baked- just the raw ingredients mixed together.

Would appreciate if someone could have a look at this link and let me know if the Nakd Nudie's seem to be an equivalent of the US Larabars ( and if you think therefore they'd be Whole30 compliant)

Thanks!

Are these the type of ingredients in a Larabar?

Oooh, and here I was all jealous of the Larabars, I've had the Nak'd bars once and they were fine, not all that really..

I've had them before and liked them-the cashew one was nice I thought. They are quite heavy going though-I found it best to cut it up and have a little bit now and then.

Ok I take it back, had the pecan pie variety this afternoon (in a total slump after a crappy race this morning) and it was yummy.

How does the price compare between here & there Johnny?

€ 1.40 = 1.80936 U.S. dollars

I'm thinking they would be so easy to make - a bag of dates and whatever nuts/coconut you have in the house. Homemade would also have the advantage of smaller portion sized bites....

I'm actually not sure what they cost here. I don't really buy them often but I know they're not cheap! A couple years ago I was obsessed with them though and I did learn to make them at home. They're not hard at all! Check this link out - I posted it somewhere else here yesterday http://www.damyhealth.com/2011/03/how-to-make-homemade-lara-bars/

The pecan pie Nakd bars are 1.09 in Holland+Barrett on Grafton St. DervalC. The Ginger Bread ones are very nice. They're 1.15 for some reason.

I just tried a Larabar, that I bought at Trader Joes, it was 1.46 dollars. Then I got nervous (newbie) that I had done a bad thing.....so Larabars are ok? not Ok? There are mixed messages all over the forums; people wanting to give them up, people who eat one everyday...HELP!!!

I'm loving all the Irish on here, bc next summer my husband and I are heading home for a wedding, and I WILL be picking your brains for the brands I should be looking for to keep me on track! Although I will be splurging on curry chips- can't help it, they are my one true weakness and since you can't really get them over here, they are a special treat for when we are home.
