Luna & Larry's Dark Chocolate Coconut Bliss Bars



 
If you're looking for a cool, delish and portable summer sweet treat, you might want to give Luna & Larry's Dark Chocolate Coconut Bliss Bars a try!
 
Truth be told, I'm kind of addicted to these coconut-based ice cream bars. I love everything about the taste: not too sweet, oh so chocolatety, smooth, velvety texture. Yummm....
 
 
A generous 89 ml. bar has only 170 calories. And these are satisfying calories, unlike a lot of other sugar-laden ice cream treats on the market, that just leave a person feeling tired and bloated afterwards.
 
 
 
Here's the ingredient list for this product:
  • Organic Coconut Milk (Organic Coconut, Water, Guar Gum)
  • Organic Agave Syrup
  • Organic Fair Trade Vanilla Extract
  • Organic Fair Trade Cocoa
  •  
  • Love that these ingredients are organic and Fair Trade too.

     Yes, the saturated fat level is rather high in these bars(45% of suggested daily requirements). But there is a lot of discussion about the positive aspects of eating fats from coconut-based products, you can read more about that here. Apparently, not all saturated fats are used by the body, in the same way. There are better choices when it comes to saturated fats and coconut milk is considered one of those.
     
    I've also tried the Naked Coconut Bars in this line and some of Luna & Larry's scoop-able treats, and  they are delish too.
     
    But if you're a chocolate fan, do give the Dark Chocolate Bliss Bars a try first. You'll be glad you did! ;<)
     
    Overall rating for this product: Very Good. 4 out of 5.
