The reason I like Lara Bars over something like a Kind bar is that they chewier and easier to eat while I run, and also have more sugar in them. While normally that is the reason I wouldn't eat them, I like how the sugar from the fruit gives me that quick energy boost that I need to get me through my run. I usually pre cut them up so I don't take too big of a bite and end up with a big mouth full :)kara t.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03864285055695884300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5459977858625943211.post-46393120734797100382012-04-05T08:56:59.932-04:002012-04-05T08:56:59.932-04:00That is one of my favorites!That is one of my favorites!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01431018115582901499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5459977858625943211.post-12884120644927288002012-04-05T08:56:37.677-04:002012-04-05T08:56:37.677-04:00Great good to know!
