I love bars, like Larabars, KIND bars, and ZBars, but instead of eating them as a snack, I typically enjoy them as dessert. For some reason, they don’t satisfy me the same way some other snacks do, like almonds (NuVal score: 81) or a banana (NuVal score: 91) with Teddie Smooth UnSalted Peanut Butter (Nuval score: 49). But, as you know, life gets crazy and these bars can really save the day, especially when traveling or running around all day without a free minute to eat a healthy meal. It’s nice to know that I have a bar in my bag to quell my hunger pains!
My favorite bar is Larabar’s Peanut Butter Cookie (NuVal score: 31). I have a major peanut butter addiction, so this bar satisfies that craving as well as my sweet tooth. It’s the perfect way to end a meal for me! 
When it comes to bars, a 31 on the NuVal scale is pretty good. The scores for these bars (and granola bars) range from 2-57 and the median score is a 19. So, a Peanut Butter Cookie Larabar scores better than “average.” I’m always looking for ways to trade-up the nutrition of the foods that I eat, so I checked out how some of my other favorite bars scored on the NuVal scale:
- Larabar Apple Pie: 57
- Luna Bar Iced Oatmeal Raisin: 27
- Larabar Lemon: 32
- Clif Luna’s Smores: 26
- Larabar Banana Bread: 40
- Kashi Go Lean Chocolate Caramel: 25
- Larabar Pecan Pie: 46
- Larabar Cashew Cookie: 32
- Clif Bar Oatmeal Raisin Walnut: 29
- Clif Kid Peanut Butter Zbar: 32
- Larabar Cherry Pie: 40
With all of this talk about bars, I figured they’d make a good Monday morning giveaway!
Here’s what you’ll win:
- 8 bars (a variety from Larabar, Zbar, Cliff, and Luna)
- a NuVal t-shirt

My favorite go-to snack is banana and pb or almond butter. So easy and filling!
I am a Clif Bar addict – White Chocolate Macadamia. Not only are they, quick, but if Im in a crunch they can hold me over forever!
I’ve tried exploring bars and always end up back to Larabars—since they are so dense though, I eat it in thirds paired w/an apple…great snack!
Greek yogurt with some cereal and/or fruit mixed in. The protein keeps me full.
Larabars are definitely my weakness. I love their chocolate coconut cashew before a long work out. They definitely keep my energy up and help hold off any cravings until I can make breakfast or dinner.
I love dry cereal
I try to pick a healthy one, put it in a baggie, maybe mix in some fresh fruit, and throw it in my purse. Instant greatness whenever I need it!
I love a crisp cold pickle for a snack/treat. Not the healthiest thing but better than other salty snacks I might reach for otherwise.
I love the Kashi Honey Almond Flax bars. They’re not very filling, but they’re so tasty!
I’m a big bar fan too, especially Larabars!
I love that there are no weird, artificial ingredients in them. My fav flavors are the PB cookie and the coconut cream pie. They taste like dessert, they’re so good!
My favorite on the go snack is usually a bar or an apple with some pb!
Yogurt with an apple or banana and some almond/peanut butter. That combo always fills me up! Sometimes I’ll skip the fruit and crumble a granola bar on top…or have it all if I’m really hungry. This would be perfect for me
I love Larabars but they are not easy to come by in my neck of the woods. The others I haven’t tried but would love to. My favorite go to snack (don’t know if it’s a snack) is a green smoothie.
Oh geez! I hae so many favorite snacks its hard to say. But I would have to say my absolute favorite is Luna Bars Cookies n Cream version (just because Im an oreo addict and the luna version is healthier than the reg. cookies ;D)
I really enjoy the Honest Almond Trail Mix Bars, although there aren’t many bars that I don’t like!
Larabars are my snack on the go lately (I’ve been loving the pb&j one but will check out the pb cookie one since I am also a pb lover). Where do you buys your locally? The cheapest I can find is Whole Foods for $1.29 a bar. Did you hear that REI is featuring three flavors of Larabar on sale this month..cherry pie, apple pie and pb&j for only 99 cents each and free s&h if you pick up in one of their stores? I’m always looking for a deal on these things so I was thrilled to see that.
An Apple with peanut butter! mmm
An apple with peanut butter always works well for me!
my go to snack is peanuts and raisins
I’m addicted to Naturally More peanut butter! (I wonder how that ranks on the NuVal scale??) I love eating it on just a piece of toast, some celery, or an apple
I love Larabars–Cherry Pie and Lemon are my favorite. I keep them strategically placed so they are easy to find whenever and wherever I am hungry–in my car, purse, my locker at the gym, my desk drawers…
An apple and a few almonds.
Def. apple and a slice of cheese or banana and pb!
Any Clif Bars…love em!
Half a cherry pie larabar and some fruit

I do love Larabars, especially the key lime and lemon ones. I keep some in my purse and eat 1/2 of a bar if I am hungry and on the go. Other snacks that I carry with me are almonds, apples, and dried fruit!
An apple and some almonds always works for me – carbs, protein, fat all together
My favorite on the go snack is a handful of almonds – love them!
besides bars, i love cottage cheese with peanut butter and cinnamon!
I love yogurt mixed with cereal and fruit. Very satisfying and easy to prepare!
I love to have apples nuts or cheese as a quick snack. I work on an organic veggie farm and there is always so much work snack breaks have to be quick.
I can never go wrong with banana & peanut butter! It’s filling, satisfying, & always available at my house:)
I love a good apple/almond butter combination. It’s satisfying and delicious!
Zbars are my favorite! I know they’re made to be marketed to children, but I’ll pretend any day with those bad boys. One of my favorite satisfying snacks would be hummus and pita chips. So good and so filling! (:
I love Larabars and just packed some for a trip-they’re the only bars I’ve gotten into!
My snacking is always really unconventional; a slice of bread w/ peanut butter, an apple, or just a handful of walnuts. But I guess my favourite would be a piece of fruit. Apples are my favourite! Nuval score: 96!
I’m wondering if you ship to China, though… I have never tasted any of these bars before!
Wei-Wei
I love adding almond butter to bananas – easy, filling & delicious!
I tend to make homemade soups often and a cup in the afternoon makes a perfect snack.

Really like to snack on Clif Bars, they taste great!

Pretzels with pb for dipping
Really like carrots and hummus in a ziploc bag, tastes great!
Awesome giveaway, I’m with you on the Luna bars, they are unbelievable!
OMG, tough one, but my fave is almond butter and banana on a sandwich thin or multigrain bread
I love larabars, luna bars and cliff Zbars. My favorite right now is the cliff Zbar honey graham. They are so portable and sooo good and filling. I always have some type of bar on on me at all times.
I snack on more or less anything that is available to me, but Skyr, crackerbread, fruit, and almonds are the ones most likely to end up in my tummy
I love Arnold Thins with almond butter! Definitely completely satisfying!
I always have a Larabar in my purse for emergency hunger. Now that I am pregnant having a go-to snack is even more important! My current favorite is Peanut Butter and Jelly, which I don’t know the Nuval score. Thanks Tina!
My favorite go to snack has to be strawberries and Greek yogurt! So good and filling.
My fav go to snack is a handful of homemade trail mix with dried fruit, nuts and seeds! So easy and satisfying
[...] Trading Up Downtown » Blog Archive » Bars, Bars, Bars [...]

Tofu fruit knishes, Larabars, a container of fresh fruit or apple/yogurt or banana/peanut butter in a mini whole wheat pita are my usual snacks.

My favourite on the go snacks are cereal bars of any kind really. You can just pop one in your bag and away you go!

I love an apple with peanut butter but also I have to say one of my favorites is Lune Bar Iced Oatmeal Raisin (NuVal score: 27) when I’m in a pinch!
Almonds and a sliced apple are my go to snacks!
An apple and almond butter is my go-to snack, but Larabars are a nice treat when I’m on the go!
I usually have an apple + some kind of nut or an apple and nut butter!
any bar really! but i prefer the ones with no added sugar, like larabars.
A handful of almonds does the trick!
My favorite snack is just a simple apple. I love how crisp and refreshing they are and the fiber really holds me over.
Love all Larabars, also Zone Chocolate Almond Raisin is amazin@
Love all Larabars, also Zone Chocolate Almond Raisin is amazin!
I always have an apple stashed somewhere, or something by Kashi
My favorite go to snack are those quaker rice crisps…so addicting!
Larabars look amazing, but I’m allergic to nuts, so my fave default snack is a Luna bar or Greek yogurt with fruit and chocolate granola!
Loving the clif bars right now… although luna does have a few that are quite delish.
i always have apples! and larabars and clif bars are a close second.
My favorite would be a toss up between Apples and Pickles

Always have a Luna Caramel Nut Brownie on hand for snack emergencies!
Almond butter & jelly on sprouted wheat bread
My favorite on-the-go snack is either a Larabar or a small bag of almonds!
I like multi-grain soy crisps with sea salt! Good thing they come in small bags because of the bags were bigger I would not be able to stop myself. Love to snack on them during class (after a full day of work).
I tweeted about the giveaway! My favorite on the go snack are the Chocolate Chip Cliff Z Bars!
My favorite are nature valley peanut butter granola bars. So good.
Banana…easy and fairly filling for me!
dry roasted edamame! so easy to keep on hand, perfectly natural, and so satisfying!
Favorite go to snack is definitely toast with nut butter or a 1/2 banana and nut butter roll up!
Small pb and honey sandwich on whole wheat.
My favorite snack is a strawberry-lime smoothie; handfull of strawberries, fiber1 key-lime yogurt, splash of milk, zest of one lime, add ice and blend! Quick and perfect for summer!
My favorite snack is light yogurt with 1/2 cup of granola cereal – still healthy, yet an entire box of granola cereal is much cheaper than buying a bag of raw granola!
http://twitter.com/MediterraneanMs
^ tweeted about you, too! :3
Z-Bars are my favorite! If I’m feeling especially daring, I spread some PB on top – amazing.
Retweeted your giveaway too!
I like a trail mix with peanuts and raisins!

my favorite snack is any whole grain cracker with a wedge of light laughing cow swiss cheese and a piece of fruit. so yummy!
http://twitter.com/missbiggulp
Bananas are the easiest on the go snack for me!
I just started making my own granola bars. I can make a batch on the weekends and have them all week to go. This saves me money from constantly buying my same bars and I can switch up what I put in them every week. This week I made some with cashews, almonds, peanuts, cranberries and raisins.
Apples are my favorite because they are so portable, but for something to have in my purse, I love pb&j larabars.
I’m pretty boring…banana, or some other fruit or veggie, usually.
A piece of easy to eat fruit like at apple or banana. I never leave home without them!
i live off of apples. and i love them because you can toss them in your bag and not worry about them getting smushed
Favorite on the go snack would have to be a PB or S’mores Zbar! And I’m also obsessed with Archer Farms fruit bars
My go to snack is bananas with some pb on top!
Love bars too! My favorite on the go snack is probably almonds, grapes, or crackers. Thanks!
when i am on the run i keep a case of muscle milk handy in my trunk…but if i am home i love to have a nana whole wheat mini wrap and a tbs of almond butter
Apple slices with peanut butter! Nothing beats it
I like baby carrots or almonds!
I’ve recently been having mojo bars by cliff, which always hold me over until dinner and are really tasty.
My on-the-go snack is almonds. I keep a ziploc baggie of them in my purse.
Love the Nugo dark vegan bars…super tasty and has nice chew!
I love ants on a log (celery with pb and raisins). It makes me feel like a little kid again. If I’m on the go I love Cliff bars, but they get kind of expensive so I try and alternate with homemade granola bars.
Bananas (91)! Easy, cheap, portable, and nutritious.
My favorite on the go snack would be either a banana (91), almonds (81) or, like you, I love the peanut butter cookie Larabar (31).
I turn to Luna bars when I feel myself getting hungry in between meals (the lemon zest flavor has a special place in my heart!). You’ll also find a little baggie of Multigrain Cheerios in my bag at all times, usually accompanied with an ArcherFarms brand real fruit strip (they’re from Target, organic, delicious, and go on sale all the time — What more could you want?!)
love plain greek yogurt with frozen berries!
Not counting my work snacks, if I’m truly on the go, it’s some kind of bar (Lara, Fiber One) or soy crisps. They need to survive wherever I’m going in my purse (AKA The Snack Destroyer).
Thanks so much for the opportunity! I love to make up my own trail mixes and put them in little containers! I just throw a bunch of nuts and seeds together(that I buy from the bulk bins) and add raisins! To make it extra satisfying I’ll add chocolate chunks or cereal!
I bought a a smoothie container that has an ice stick down the middle to keep your smoothies cold. now I can blend one up and take it on the go for a high protein, satisfying snack! I also like fruit (both fresh and dried), bars, and light string cheese as good on the go snacks.
I’ve been experimenting with my own bar recipe using chickpea flour to pack it with protein! But larabars are always my stand-by, I bring them with me on trips when I don’t have my meals planned out so I don’t get super hungry.
Oh, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE LET ME WIN THIS ONE, WORLD! I LOVE bars–they’re not just an emergency snack, they’re an emergency meal, an emergency anything! My favourite would have to be the Caramel Nut Brownie Luna Bar, the Clif Kid Chocolate Brownie Z-bar (yep, I like brownies) and the Kind Almond and Coconut bars. HOW I WISH I WIN THIS GIVEAWAY!
I usually have some type of bar in my purse, but I will also carry around some nuts–usually almonds to have in a pinch.
Apples are my favorite on the go snack!
grapes at work, perfect 3pm snack!
On the go snack? Well, I’d have to say almonds (Nuval score: 81). They’re satisfying and really hold me over from meal to meal. Plus, I can eat them in the car, on the couch, or even while I walk!
My favorite snack is a light english muffin, or an apple, with peanut butter!
I love pb and j on a piece of whole grain for quick on-the-go fuel
My favorite snack would be roasted chickpeas. I roast them on Sundays and they last all week.
I love Larabars! But since they are so pricy, I like to throw dried fruit (DATES!!!) and nuts into a snack bag and go!
I tweeted about it!
http://twitter.com/MichellesFood
My favorite on the go snack: Banana (91) and Peanut butter sandwich (35)/wrap. Filling and easy to eat!
Almonds & raisins/cranberries or a Kashi bar.. I’ve never had a Larabar but would love to try them!

I LOVE Larabars. My fave is the cashew cookie. I look forward to my snack in the afternoon.
I like to have fruit for an on the go snack.
I love PB (about 18-49, depending on brand) and bananas (91) or apples (96).
Mmmm apple pie Larabars are a new favorite. Though you can’t beat an a plain old apple for an afternoon snack.
Clif bars! The carrot cake flavor is quite delicious;)
I love bars on the go. But I also love cut up fruit. Lately, I’m on a cantaloupe kick. If it’s all cut up ahead of time, it’s easy!
I love Larabars. So delicious and no added chemicals! My favorite snacks apples and hard-boiled eggs.
Bars are a standby if I’m starving at a gas station, but I generally try to pack some baby carrots or peanuts for noshing.
I tend to be a messy eater, so my favorite on the go snack is either a piece of fruit or some peanut butter rolled into a wheat wrap.
My go-to-snack is definitely an apple with either peanut butter or almond butter!
If I am in a pinch, I can always grab a Clif bar and an apple on the way out the door. I get the filling benefits of the bar with the fresh produce and fiber benefit of the apple.
i always just grab a banana if i want a quick snack on my way out the door. plus one banana is 91 nuval points!!!
baby carrots, greek yogurt, honey crisp apples yummy!!
My favorite grab and go snack is an apple with a packet of Justin’s almond butter! So filling!

I LOVE larabars! Along with some delicious trail mix, they are my favorite on-the-go snack!
A handful of almonds!
I am a Luna Bar addict – my favorites are Nuts over Chocolate and Raspberry. It’s like a chocolate bar but with lots of protein!! <3
My go-to snack for hectic days is a good, crisp apple. If I need a bit more staying power, I’ll pair it with 7-10 almonds.
Thanks for the giveaway, Tina!
im actually really loving graham cracker pb sandwiches. Sweet, salty, fats protein-the whole shebang!!
When I’m on the go, I like carrot (99) and celery (96) sticks and rye crackers (not sure of the score, but one of the brands I like ranges from 43 to 87 depending on the variety so I think these are fairly good). They don’t leave my hands sticky the way fresh fruit does.
Honestly.. I love a good hard boiled egg or two to hold me over until my next meal! I could not find the nuval score of an egg. Do you know what it is?
One of my favorite snacks is apple slices with creamy peanut butter – it’s healthy, filling, and delicious!
Fuji apples and maranatha creamy no stir almond butter.
if i am trying to be healthy then i would say some veggies and hummus…if i am going for what i want then microwave popcorn! mmmmm
Better ‘n Peanut Butter is my new favorite snack!
I’ve been loving the mini cliff bars. Great to have one or two in my purse to snack on. Anything with almond butter too..
love, love, love bars! Had one of those Sabra hummus + pretzel on-the-go snack packs the other day and it was delicious!!
i have been trying to find a good bar. i have been eating the tlc chocolate and coconut. not bad but not the best ever.
I always have an apple in my car to eat on the way home from work so I don’t go crazy in the kitchen when I get home.
Apples are so filling for me and they are easy to put in your purse
I love eating a banana with peanut butter on top as a snack! mmm.
Carrots and hummus! Fills me up every time.
I always have a small bag of almonds and bar in my bag!
Usually my on the go snack is just an apple that I toss in my purse. I usually keep a larabar in there too in case I’m extra hungry!
If I’m at work, I’ll eat a handful of almonds. If at home, I like to eat an egg white and whole grain Cream of Wheat cereal. Sounds more like a breakfast, but it really has staying power!
I’m a huge fan of bars, too. Especially when I’m going away overnight they’re the perfect way to ensure I have some vegan food I can eat.
I also love carrot sticks. They satisfy my need for crunch (so I feel like I’m eating something) while the fiber and water content hold me over wonderfully until I can get a real meal.
When it comes to bars, Larabars are hands-down my absolute favorite. Another on-the-go snack I rely on are nut butter-filled medjool dates, of which I know you are also a fan
I love bars, and in fact had one this morning b/c I was running late. My favorites are the Peanut Butter & Jelly Larabar and the Lemon Bar.
Clif Bars are also awesome (special shout out to their Blueberry Crisp bar).
I love having Larabars on hand for taking with me on the go for a great snack. I think my favorites are PB cookie and Cashew cookie.
My favorite snack on the go is a piece of fruit and sometimes a piece of laughing cow cheese.
May favorite on-the-go snack is a light rye Wasa bread, 1/2 banana cut up in slices, and Teddie’s chunky peanut butter … holy yummm!!!

I am obsessed with larabars my favorites are pb cookie and cashew cookie! But my go to snack would have to be carrots, sometimes a banana. Any sort of fruit/ veggie that I can take to class with me is always a good go to option for me since I usually spend my days at some
coffee shop doing homework!
My favorite go-to snack is greek yogurt (91) with fresh mango (93).
I always bring a banana (91) with me for an easy on the go snack, or a larabar or clif bar
I love apples with nut butter!
I love apples with nut butter or a green monster!
My favorite go-to mini meal is bars such as Lara bar (Apple Pie, Cherry Pie, Tropical) and Mrs. Mays nut bar or a smoothie such as a Starbucks Strawberry Banana Vivano or Jamba Juice Mango Madness. I love working in fruits and veggies to mini meals, and these options let me do that- plus tie me over until my next meal on the run.
My favorite on-the-go snack is definitely trail mix. I like a couple of pre-packaged combinations but I prefer to make my own! Not only does it taste good, it’s so easy to put together and keeps me full for hours while I travel. My mix usually contains an assortment of nuts, dried fruits, a little bit of cereal or granola, and chocolate chips (I have a major sweet tooth and can’t resist the sweet ‘n’ savory combo!)
My favorite on the go snack is any fruit but usually apples. They give an extra burst of energy and it’s like brushing your teeth again too!
Mmmm Larabars! My favorites are the key lime pie and lemon bars.
I take apples and granola bars with me everywhere. My favorites are the Zbars and Luna Bars.
I really like whole wheat crackers and garlic and herb laughing cow cheese. That’s my go to snack right before I get off work so I have energy to workout.
I can always eat tortilla with a cut up apple and garlic and herb laughing cow spread inside!
I love Coconut Cream Pie Larabars…hard to find but soooo delish!
Peanut Butter Cookie is also my favorite Larabar flavor, and it is without a doubt, my favorite snack!
My favorite snack lately anything with hummus (50-ish). I’ll pair it with carrots, celery, crackers, cucumbers, broccoli (100), etc.
I LOVE Larabars! Apple pie is my favorite flavor! Bananas are also a go-to snack for me.
Oh my gosh, I LOVE the Clif Kid Z Bars!! My favorite is the Honey Graham, which I’m guessing must be pretty close on the scale to the peanut butter one (32).
They’re great on the go, OR crumbled on top of my morning bowl of oatmeal…YUMM!
I love the Larabar cashew cookie flavor (32). I could eat them all day!
I love dark chocolate covered almonds! I buy them at Trader Joes!!! Oh and Reeses = protein & chocolate.
I prefer packing a banana. I love Larabars but anything else gives me a tummy ache =(
definitely a bar girl… i love clif bars for breakfast on-the-go!
My favorite on the go snack that is both satisfying and delicious is an Apple (Score 96) with a couple whole natural almonds (score 81).
My fave on-the-go snacks usually include bars since they are SO easily portable! I love Clif bars like Clif Bar Oatmeal Raisin Walnut: 29!
I love plain greek yogurt with blueberries, a very small handful of any cereal, and 4-5 drop of stevia. It is sweet and packed with protein!
Greek yogurt with cereal!
String cheese is my favorite grab and eat on my way out the door. If I’m looking at something to carry for later I love to pack peanut butter and jelly sandwich, makes me feel like a kid again!
I LOVE balance bar cookie dough….all the delicious taste of cookie dough with 15grams of protein and total satisfaction! i also love zbar choc chip cookie tastes just like the real thing…can you tell i have a cookie addiction?
)
The bodega right around the corner from my office in NYC carries some Lara Bars (I actually just finished the peanut butter cookie one before seeing this post!) My favorites are apple pie and peanut butter so far; they are very difficult to find. I am planning on bringing them with me traveling to Europe in a couple weeks as a healthy snack to keep up on the go. Otherwise favorite snack is a handful of almonds.
A piece of fruit – preferably one in it’s own wrapping – like a banana or orange!!! And those have real high NuVal scores so I feel even better about it.
My favorite on-the-go snack is any kind of bar! I think one of my absolute favorite is the Larabar Cherry Pie.
[...] is hosting a great giveaway on her other blog Trading Up Downtown – if you want to win some Lara bars head over to have a [...]

These bars are for sure my favorite, i go to bed and can’t wait to wake up to the deliciousness!
I always take an apple with me for my mid morning snack. Yogurt does the job too, but you have to plan ahead to keep it cold!
I’m a big fan of great harvest dakota bread with peanut butter and jelly. Also, sliced apple with almond butter. I always have a luna or kashi bar in my bag so that it is handy if I’m on the run.
Bars! When I had a crazy job and ate breakfast on the subway to work every day bars made my life a bit brighter!

I love Clif Bars, apricot is my absolute favorite! Great lemon and apricot flavor. I also love throwing dried fruit in a baggie and grazing on it throughout the day. Mango and Pineapple taste sooo good when dried.
My favorite snack on the go is a hard boiled egg!

Since I have to eat every 2 hours, I’ve come up with lotsa quick-but-yummy snacks. I loooove Artisana coconut butter, eat lots of it. Mix a big spoon of it with chocolate rice protein and a bit of almond milk, and ya’ got instant (healthy!) chocolate-fudge icing
I usually glob it on a coupla Ryvita or Kavli crackers, and then drizzle it with some raw honey. Almond milk on the side, yum!
I also love bananas — endless ideas with those — that generally include chocolate rice protein, lol
Oh, I also recently tried my first Larabar. Cherry Pie. Oh-muh-gawd-good
I have been keeping the Cocount Cream Pie Larabars in my purse lately for when I need to quick snack. Love them!
Hummus and carrots will always be my favorite snack. However, chocolate chip z-bars are pretty great too!
Almonds and LF cottage cheese – yummo!
Love larabars- ESPECIALLY the peanut butter cookie kind
i always have some kind of bar on me, just in case!
Banana
apple(96) or banana(91) with any type of nut butter
:)
I always throw a banana in my bag to pair with a granola bar because, like you, they don’t fill me up all the way. Bananas are so filling and delicious…and they score a 91! Not too shabby!
A square of dark chocolate dipped into peanut butter, if “on the go” can mean “passing through the kitchen”
Otherwise, I’d have to say a handful of nuts 
Even though I love bars (larabar, KIND bars, etc) I find that apples are the BEST satisfying snack!
my favorite go-to snack is homemade trail mix made with kashi h2h, almonds, raisins, and dark chocolate chips. YUM!
Can oatmeal be an on the go snack? So quick to make and then I plop the bowl in my lap and drive. On the go oats! My favorite combo is strawberries and cream oatmeal with dark chocolate pb. YUMMM!

I love bars of all kinds, with Larabars and KIND bars being my top choices. But I always pair them with some kind of fresh fruit, like an apple, a banana, or some grapes. Together they make the perfect on-the-go snack!
I love an apple as an on-the-go snack. I also love Larabars when I need something more substantial and I am out running errands.
Bananas are perfection. Nuval score 91

Fruit + String Cheese are my favorite portable snacks!
My favorite portable snack is a handful of honey roasted nuts or peanut butter and cinnamon on whole wheat bread. Yum!
i’m an almond butter junkie!
almond butter and oatmeal cookies are so good!
My favorite on the go snack is dried apricots dipped in almond butter. Mmmm.
An apple (preferably a pink lady) and a string cheese stick
Vitamuffins
I love Lara Bars, too! But I think my favorite on the go snack is Greek yogurt.
My go to snack Is Kashi Trail mix bars.
Oh my gosh I LOVE bars. Nom nom nom. But my fav snack? …hmmm… Lately it has been roasted courgettes (??) because they are so affordable and sweetly in season
I love apples when I go walking.
Apple Pie Larabars are my favorite! I eat at least one bar per day. Sometimes for a ‘lighter’ bar I eat the Kashi Chewy Trail Mix bars – they are equally filling with less calories and fat.
I tweeted about the giveaway: @PickleyPear
My go to snack is a handful of smoked almonds. I have a $.99 pkt in my purse now
One of my homemade granola bars. It took me forever to find a recipe that was healthy and yummy. I keep a stash in the freezer so I won’t eat them all at once!
My favorite snack is Larabars (Peanut Butter Cookie or Coconut Cream Pie flavors) or cinnamon graham crackers with peanut butter, yum!
I love having either bars or roasted almonds in my purse for great on the go-snacks. Apples are great too but require a little planning ahead
A handful of almonds or a peanut butter larabar ( if I have one )
If I’m home, I like to snack on greek yogurt with frozen berries. If I’m on the go, I’ll reach for an apple and/or some almonds.
Fruit is the most perfect and portable snack especially oranges and bananas which come in their own “wrappers”
I love PB&J and Peanut Butter Cookie Lara Bars.
I like a mixture of walnuts and raisins….it tastes like an oatmeal cookie! Adding a sprinkle of cinnamon adds even more oomph:) Also, coconut larabars are AMAZING
I’m a big fan of Lara bars because they’re just a few, whole ingredients.
I love bringing an apple with me, it travels well and satisfies me

I love cottage cheese – it is so delicious & keeps me nice & full.
My go to snacks are almonds and apples.
I always have one of the many varieties of Trader Joes Trail mixes. I have long commutes to and from work and if I ever get hungry, they are in my glove compartment!
An apple sprinkled with cinnamon and dunked in peanut butter is an easy and tasty go to snack for me!
My go-to snack is always an apply with almond butter- yummm!
I love to snack on almonds and apples.
I love a wrap with 2 slices of turkey inside…wrapped in foil, it’s great everywhere!
Have never tried these bars. My to go to snack is always fresh fruit! Yum.
I love apples and provolone together as a snack!
Yogurt and fruit!
Scrolling through the list of commenters, I feel like a serious majority, but guess what? Guys Lara bars too. My favorite is the PB&J one, or maybe one of the ones with coconut.
I’m always getting in trouble for eating my wife’s bars.

I’ve never tried any of these bars but i see them everywhere! I like cutting a banana in half and putting some nut butter on each side, then putting it back together. No mess!
Apples or a banana! They’re easy to carry with me. Luna bars are like a candy bar to me- I LOVE them but don’t feel guilty eating them and they’re a great on the go snack!
fave go to snack is A LUNA BAR. Tasty and fiberiffic!
I love red pepper slices with almond butter. It’s an odd combination but very satisfying.
Frozen pieces of fruit + light yogurt + little bit of ginger and mint = delicious smoothie
BBQ soy crisps with salsa are one of my healthier go-to snacks. I also like string cheese and those Clif Kids Organic Z bars (the Spooky S’mores is my favorite).
One of my go-tos is a steamed egg in a mug. Just beat a raw egg, few shreds of cheese, and splash of milk in the bottom of a mug and microwave for ~45 seconds. Now its your own personal omelet, that can easily be brought on the road in a to-go mug.
When I want something sweeter: Vanilla Almond Luna. Amazing!

I could eat just a Clif bar, blueberry or carrot cake, for breakfast–they’re extremely satisfying to me. (I’ll trade you for the peanut butter one on my desk!- I actually don’t like peanut butter)
i love homemade larabars: peanuts + dates + food processor = DELICIOUS
I LOVE Lara Bars, the peanut butter one is also my favorite!!
Nugo Darks are Vegan and sooooo tasty! I also like Balance (cookie dough flavor) bars
