Larabar has been a staple of the protein bar world since the early 2000s, and for good reason. Its combination of fruit and nuts – dates, cashews, and cherries feature in its most popular flavors – is (mostly) friendly to vegans and those who need gluten-free options. The all-natural flavor and texture are appealing to those who are tired of the “medicinal” taste of other brands of protein and energy bars. Beginning with 5 original flavors – Apple Pie, Banana Bread, Cherry Pie, Cashew Cookie, and Chocolate Coconut Chew – Larabar boasts more than 26 flavors of its original bar as well as several related all-natural products. A few of its flavors have been retired over the years, such as Chocolate Mole, Pistachio, and Tropical Fruit Tart.
