Best Flavor Combo EVER!
I can’t think of a flavor combo better than raspberries and chocolate. It is definitely one of my favorite flavors. I am also hopelessly addicted to Luna bars. They are super yummy and easy to eat when I am away from home and need to eat something. This morning I bought some Chocolate Raspberry Luna bars to try and WOW are they good! As soon as you open the package you smell the raspberry (which I happen to think is extremely yummy). It’s not too crunchy and not too chewy- it has just the right consistency. It tastes just like it should- chocolaty and like raspberries. Again these are Luna bars so they do not have the greatest numbers as far as carbs go. This particular bar has 21 net carbs and 13 grams of sugar, but it is really yummy! The 8 grams of protein is certainly on the low end of what I would want from a protein source but they are really yummy! I had a duodenal switch (DS) so I don’t have to worry about dumping (but if you do then be careful with the sugar content in these) and I hardly absorb any of the 5 grams of fat they have so for me it is not such a terrible choice. The carbs aren’t stellar but I usually eat them in the morning so I think that helps (as opposed to loading up on carbs at night right before bedtime). Plus I will take a few more carbs to have a protein bar that actually TASTES good!
Product: Chocolate Raspberry Luna Bar
Price: $0.98 at Walmart; priced on average $1.00 – $1.50 per bar
The good: It is YUMMY; has 8 grams of protein
The bad: 21 net carbs (almost half of what I like to eat in a day!)
The ugly: if you have an issue with dumping, the 13 grams of sugar may not be very nice to you
TIP: I have actually heard of people freezing the Luna bars and then eating them (especially the chocolate kinds) and they say it is a very yummy treat. I think I am going to freeze the other one I bought and update on how it is!
Coming soon: I have also tried/have to try these flavors of Luna bars: Peanut Butter Cookies, Lemon Zest, Chia Tea, Carmel Nut Brownie, and White Chocolate Macadamia. For protein powders I have Biggest Loser singles, Body Fortress (the cheap stuff from Walmart!) in a few different flavors, 4EverFit, protein shots (liquid protein bullets), and a whole box of samples for Vitalady! Expect more frequent postings! I also bought a Blender Bottle!
