All in all, there were some clear winners. Your top 3 picks ran away with over 40% of the votes! But that number one spot was pretty much uncontested. As expected, the Seasonal and Limited Edition flavors ranked lower – not because they are worse, but simply because they are harder to find, so less people have tried them.

Our Top Picks for the Best Larabar Flavors

I consider myself and my husband to be Larabar experts. This brand became our staple bar choice when we first spotted them at a small grocer back in 2003. We loved that they had simple ingredients, were easy to find, and were within budget. And we’ve always found it fun to buy a selection of flavors when they’re on sale. So I thought we would weigh in with brief reviews of our favorites.

Best Larabar for Fitness: Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip

Something about peanut butter just fits with physical activity for me. The flavor has depth, but mellowness, so it suits pre- and post-workout taste buds nicely. And I love the sustaining and energizing combination of peanuts and dates. I do enjoy the Peanut Butter Cookie before and during active pursuits, too. It contains just peanuts, dates, and sea salt. But the Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip is my top pick. After all, who can say no to added chocolate?

Best Larabar for Breakfast: Blueberry Muffin

My husband has a sweet tooth, especially in the morning. He would have trouble resisting just about any treat if put in front of him. Luckily, Larabar is made from real food, and nothing else. And if I keep the Blueberry Muffin Larabar in our snack bowl supplies, I can be sure that he’ll reach for it and won’t miss sugary muffins. He truly enjoys noshing on these nourishing bars that contain just dates, cashews, blueberries, lemon, and vanilla.

Best Larabar for Anytime Snacking (Tie): Apple Pie and Cashew Cookie

As someone on a special diet, I’m fully prepared with snacks at all times. Whether heading out on a road trip or just an afternoon of grocery shopping, we must have a stash. And Larabar is a frequent contender in my bag. However, our vote was divided in this category. My husband can’t get enough of the Apple Pie with dates, apples, raisins, walnuts, almonds and cinnamon. I can’t resist the simplicity of the Cashew Cookie, which contains only cashews and dates!
