I recently have been forced to eliminate gluten from my diet. Being a runner, carb loading has become quite challenging because of the no wheat or whey policy for this body. Did I also mention I am Lactose intolerant as well. I've lived with the no milk thing almost my entire life, which has not been a big deal. If I wanted a bowl of ice cream, I just popped in a Lactaid pill. (they work amazingly) This whole gluten free thing is not as easily cured. For the past few months I've been experiencing alot of GI issues. My doctor suggested eliminating gluten from my diet and seeing how I felt. GUESS WHAT??? IT WORKED!!! No pain, no bloating, etc.... ( I will spare you the rest of the details!) So for now I will remain on a gluten free diet. Being a runner, it has become quite difficult to find other foods to do carb loading. Snacking sometimes becomes a challenge too. I mean, how much fruit and veggies can a girl eat during the day? ( I average probably around 10lbs a day or at least it feels that way:) Larabars have become a great sweet treat. They are gluten free, some are soy free, dairy free, vegan, kosher, and No GMO! LOVE IT! Most bars contain less than 10 real ingredients! My favorites are the Cherry Pie, Apple Pie, Chocolate Chip Brownie, Banana Bread and the Chocolate Coffee! The Lemon Bar tastes like Pine sol to me- but hey, some people love them. Off to eat half of my Apple Pie Larabar....yum yum yum yum!
Question* What are your favorite bars? What's your favorite Larabar flavor??
