Finally, Something Healthy For My Sweet Tooth!!!

For all you athletes, health nuts and those trying to get healthy again who starve & crave for something tasty, sweet and healthy, I’ve finally found something that meets all my criteria without compromising my Ultrametabolism “Whole Food” nutritional values.

Up until now, it has been fruit and more fruit to satisfy my sweet tooth; well, and the occasional piece of 87% Cacao Dark Chocolate(we’re talking bittersweet & about a 1”x 2” square of it every couple days). Sometimes, it's not very convenient to eat a piece of fruit. Some of them can be a bit messy and that doesn't always work for me in the middle of the day while in my office.

For those who don’t know me, I’ve been on this crusade against high fructose corn syrup(HFCS), corn syrup, even added sugar to my foods as well as stamping out all hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils from my diet. It has been somewhat trying, but after 5 months, it now comes naturally.

I read labels on EVERYTHING that I stuff into my mouth now. Recently, I found a “bar” that I can eat that is (1) Whole Food (2) Contains healthful nuts and fruits (3) Doesn’t have any added sugar, or that HFCS crapola (4) Doesn’t have any artificial sweeteners, nor do they have any hydrogenated oils. What are they? LARABAR


They come in a variety of flavors and they are a very welcomed treat to add to my whole food way of eating. If you are looking for an in-between meal treat, I think you’ve found your answer. For example, the “cherry pie” bar pictured above contains unsweetened cherries, almond and dates. That’s it. No really….that’s it.

Here’s the scoop on them…
