Larabar
Known and loved for years, Larabar keeps it simple with clean ingredients like dates, nuts, and fruits. With their wide variety of flavors, there is a bar for everyone – children and adults alike. (Some can even stand in for an all-natural, gluten-free dessert option in place of more decadent treats!) Reach for one when you need an energy boost.
With no added sugar, the flavor in these bars comes entirely from real food – never additives. They’re gluten-free, dairy-free, and non-GMO, and contain 11 to 13 grams of protein in every bar, which comes in the form of collagen sourced from grass-fed cows. Collagen provides essential building blocks for bones, joints, and skin.
