Remember LO-VING PB & J as a kid? Or were you one of those kids who didn’t like sticky, sweet, gooey PB & J for breakfast, lunch, or dinner? Well as weird as you must be, you can join the “cool kids” as an adult with this healthy but ridiculously good Larabar.
I don’t know about you, but the few times I tried making a PB&J as an adult (pre-gluten intolerance/real, healthy food lifestyle shift), it just didn’t add up to what I remembered as a kid. I thought, well, that ship has sailed & that’s too bad – but now I get to enjoy alcoholic beverages so I guess it balances out – but I digress…
The Larabars are fantastic in their own right because they are simple, real food – unprocessed pieces of energy & healthy-ness. And the beauty of the Larabar people is that they have something for every person’s flavor profile – Ginger Snap, Banana Bread, Coconut Cream, and so on. And for those of you who would appreciate eating something tasty that is also healthy, then Larabar has got your number!
But I’m having a Positive Mental Attitude today over this PB & J bar because while working this weekend, it’s a little piece of “ahh!” amidst the busy-ness of the day- each bite combines the flavors of peanut butter from real peanuts & jelly flavor from the dried cherries mixed into the bar. So much better than two pieces of fluffy gluten-y junk stuffed with high fructose corn syrup jelly & peanut butter made with hydrogenated oils. If you can’t find PB & J flavor near you, you can go online to www.larabar.com to order directly!
What’s your healthy & oh so good, go-to snack these days?

YES! LOVE the PB &J Lara bars….I just sent some to one of my athletes in the UK (I think I told you that!)…but they are SUPER you are right! And, my favorite of the Lara Bars – I mean, I LOVE peanut butter (real PB of course!).
