Gluten-Free & Tasty: Bars

We are always on the lookout for tasty, nutritious, gluten-free "granola" bars for Brad to take on the go. So far, these are our favorites. I think they're a delicious treat, though due to cost I usually come back to Kashi TLC Granola Bars (they have good nutrients but not too much sugar). Note: all of these bars contain nuts.

Larabar. These raw-food wonders come in an array of flavors--I'm especially drawn to the chocolate variety, especially the Jocolat bars, but I've enjoyed every one I've tried (mmm, pistachio...). They are tangy and filling and pretty widely available--our Costco has them, or you can find them at any health food store, or in the health food aisles at your grocery store, or on amazon.com, where they are consistently the best deal (for a case). You will likely find the most flavors at a health food store or online.

Mrs. May's Trio Bars. These bars also feature a very short ingredient list. Read: Cashew, Almonds, Pistachios, Cranberries, Sesame Seeds, Sunflower S. No wonder eating them feels like immediate health boost! These are also available at our Costco, or online.

Tiger's Milk Bar. The original gluten-free snack bar, these are more candy than granola. They offer sweet taste and a nice boost of protein. They're better than a peanut butter cup, but with a similar flavor. They're available at health food stores, and most grocery stores.

Some others to look for:
Organic Food Bars (I'm not sure if all flavors are gf, so check the label to be sure)
Think Thin Bars (Again, I'm not sure if all flavors are gf, so check the label to be sure)

Gluten-free or wheaty, what's YOUR favorite snack bar?
