Each item in Lärabar’s collection may only have a short list of ingredients, but the brand’s approach to snacking is revolutionary: create nourishing, plant-based treats you can enjoy no matter where the day takes you. Some labels only include three ingredients, and every bar is loaded with nutrients that are simple in concept but totally delicious.
What’s even more impressive is Lärabar’s commitment to producing hearty, healthy food with minimal environmental impact. With eco-friendly, sustainable farming practices and partnerships with organizations that work to relieve world hunger, this is clearly a brand that’s in it for the long haul.
The concept for Lärabar began when founder Lara Merriken was on a hike and realized a need for on-the-go snacks that didn’t include a long list of not-so-healthy ingredients. Asking friends and family to taste test her recipes, Merriken worked to create a convenient snack bar that met her quality standards. Merriken produced her first 500 bars by hand and sealed all of them herself, but it wasn’t long before Lärabar’s wholesome approach to snacking took off and the company became a national brand favorite.
Made entirely from plant-based foods, Lärabar believes that the foundation of a healthy mind, body, and spirit is derived from what we consume. The company strives to create foods as close to their whole, natural state as possible while also taking a holistic approach to food production, development, and sourcing.
With simple, real ingredients free of preservatives and eco-friendly sourcing practices that consider the state of our environment, Lärabar is snacking you can feel good about. With every bar purchased, you’ll also enjoy a long list of benefits both for your diet and the planet. Here are some of the benefits you can expect:
