Larabar Cashew Cooki Bar: Containing two ingredients (dates and cashews) this minimalist bar had a soft texture somewhere between a cookie and an energy bar. I found the flavor to be off, not because it was either too sweet or savory, since the flavors together simply did not taste particularly good. This is the first time I’ve had a Larabar, and given the experience, probably the last. 2.0/5.0

As far as I saw, there aren't any green veggie ingredients, so the color is a mystery. Instead, the bar contains a range of fruit and grain ingredients such as dates, bananas, raisins, coconut, and crispy rice (which added a nice crunchy texture). The one thing I would change is I found the bar to be a little too sweet (20g sugar per bar), but otherwise, I was happy with it. 3.5/5.0
