Pros: high energy -raises your blood sugar Cons: taste, can ruin your day, soy blocks mineral absorption...
I used to love Luna bars, so many of their delicious flavors like Sweet Dreams, Chai Tea, Peanut Butter and Jelly, Toasted Nuts n Cranberries I even gave them five stars in my review like many other reviewers have done. Ive deleted ...
Yummy and easy for on the run. by shytown77 ,Jul 12 '04
Pros: Flavors, Price, healthy on the go treat Cons: Not one
This little bar is a great addition to my on the go morning meals. Taste and texture remind me of normal food and not a 6th grade science experiment. I find the best price for Luna is at Trader Joe's at a $1.29, try the Chocolate Peppermint Stick!
Pros: They taste great and are good for you! & generally inexpensive. Cons: I wish they sold variety boxes rather than one flavor in a bulk box.
I usually hate the taste of energy or meal replacement bars but every single one that I've tried, I love! My favorite is the Smores! I eat one almost every day as my meal for breakfast. It provides me with energy for the day and nutrients that are important as a female. Also, because I've started eating breakfast on a regular basis with these bars, I've lost weight. I've always heard that breakfast is important and now it's easy with a Luna bar. I get them at Walmart for $.99 a bar and $7 for breakfast for the week is not bad! I recommend them to all women. :)
Pros: great taste, convenient, nutritious, good size Cons: none
This is the one and only nutrition bar for me. It's the perfect size for a meal on the run. I eat one for lunch every day at work. It's so convenient to throw one in your purse. The taste is unbelievable. Almost better than a candy bar. I agree that they can be dangerous in that you want to eat more than one at a time. I have been eating them almost everyday for the past couple of years. I always try to find them on sale and buy a bunch when I do. I love these bars so much, especially the peanut butter cookie, cookies and cream, and chocolate peppermint. I would highly recommend them to all women.
Ignore the nutrition facts because it's ALL GOOD for you by katie4410 ,Jul 21 '05
Pros: TASTE!!! Charitable brand, specifically designed for women's nutritional needs Cons: Cheaper would be better but they're not too expensive as it is
Ah Luna bars. My one and only brand of energy/nutrition/snack bars. I always have at least one Luna bar with me--they're perfect for a snack, a way to boost your nutritional intake, or as a pick-me-up when the day feels longer than it should.
Let's face it. The "nutritional supplement/diet" section of the supermarket is a really risky aisle to be in. You don't know what you'll get--and experimenting isn't cheap and often literally leaves a bad taste in your mouth. You shouldn't have to chase your energy bar with something more palatable--so buy Luna bars. They are honestly the best I've tasted! I especially like the chocolate peppermint stick flavor.
9 g of protein...100%DV of vitamin C...35%DV of calcium...35%DV of iron...and the list goes on. This is a bar you can not only feel good about tasting, but feel good about putting into your body. There's no guilty pleasure because there is nothing to feel guilty about!
Pros: Luna Bars are tastier than any other (healthy) bars I have tried. Cons: I only wish they were even lower in calories than 170 per bar.
I have tried many of the flavors and really love "nutz over chocolate" and "toasted nuts and cranberry." Also "dulce de leche." I have found them at Wegman's (NJ) for 99 cents (and at at 90 cents per bar if you buy a box of 15)! I watch my diet and have one bar a day as a healthy and filling snack. Elaine
Pros: *low calorie
*10 grams of protien
*35 percent of your daily calcium needs
Cons: *They some times have a weird sort of medicine taste
*THere surgary
I must say these bars taste pretty good. Not to mention their good for you too. There vegan too which is always a bonus and contain 35 percent of yor daily calcium intake. Now their no snickers bar but they still taste pretty great for something that is so good for you.
good but they have changed the smores recipe by elizabeth199 ,Sep 21 '04
Pros: taste, healthy, easy, fast Cons: new recipe, price
I LOVE the Smores Luna Bars. However, they have recently changed the recipe and things do not taste nearly as good. I eat these for breakfast and for a snack. They taste really almost like a candy bar -- no kidding. I just love them. However, I encourage you all to write to luna bars by going to their website and suggesting to them to change the recipe back to how it used to be. The new bars seem overcooked, they are wimpy looking, and have a funny taste. The old ones tasted almost like rice crispy treats with chocolate on them.
Ewww, what is that aftertaste? by gyhuji ,Oct 04 '07
Pros: Supposed nutrition, feeling of fullness lasts for many hours Cons: initial chemical taste/aftertaste, but you get used to it...
I have tried a few flavors. So far the peppermint stick is my fav and I could probably eat one/day. I just have to get past that initial gag reflex of the first bite. I mean, what is that all about? Every Luna bar has it. The pecan pie made me want to gag and I didn't finish it.
I will still purchase these (peppermint)because they are better than the other brands I have tried.
Used to love them now are awful with the new taste by taraanouk ,Feb 14 '05
Pros: used to be good , many flavors Cons: changed recipie now nothing special many better bars out there.
WHy mess with a good thing? They have a new improved taste or so they advertise with less sugar and more fiber. Simply Yuck! they lost the candybar yumminess and now test very heavily of chalky soynuts. Bring back the old recipies!
Was Good but Now They Are Bad by hbwatkin ,Jun 18 '06
Pros: Used to taste good Cons: New recipe is awful
When I discovered Luna bars I thought they were wonderful. I would buy them by the box and eat two or three everyday. Then they changed their recipes and now they taste awful. I'll have to find another bar for my mid-day snacking.
Luna Bars used to be great then changed-- YUCK by cpearl ,Aug 15 '08
Pros: Chew your vitamins? Cons: Terrible taste, more puffed rice than anything else.
Ten years ago, these bars were AWESOME. I don't know what happened-- It's like there was a shift towards fewer carbs in each bar, because I noticed new wrappers a few years back and the carbs went down-- NOT BY MUCH-- just a few grams. Now they taste like cardboard. They have that "vitamin" taste. They are no longer sweet. It's a chore to eat them rather than a healthy taste bud delight. I won't eat them anymore. I'd MUCH rather have a kashi bar and swallow a multi-vitamin.
What tastes WAY better?
"Think Thin" bars (VERY high protein, low carb, still sweet, try the chocolate peanut)
Lara Bars (lemon, chocolate-coconut are the best)
Anything Kashi
