Review of 'Larabar' Coconut Cream

Larabar -- Coconut Cream (vegan)
Overall Rating: 4.5/5
Summary: oooh, very very tenderly creamy and coconutty! It was perfectly sweetened by the dates and isn't heavily sugary, which I loved. The texture was great because of the coconut flakes and bits of nuts.

Where to buy: Bulk Barn, Fortinos, Costco

Ingredients: dates, unsweetened coconut, almonds, cashews, extra virgin coconut oil.

I love Larabars for their simplicity -- just 5 wholesome ingredients and a delicious treat! It has healthy fats and no added sugars and best of all (in my opinion), 3g protein and 5g fiber kinda rules!

I loved that there were so many bits of nuts throughout and this complemented the coconut flakes very well. The coconut flavour was really strong and gave it a creamy, almost buttery taste--very good!

I'd definitely buy this flavour again...honestly, you can't go wrong opting for a Larabar when you're craving a snack -- delicious and wholesome! Of course, the calories are a little higher than other snacks, so beware of going overboard (which is very easy to do!).

Furthermore, Larabar is a non-GMO company!
