So you don't have to -

Luna Bars are a mainstay in my life - they're cheap (buy them in bulk at Trader Joes), tasty, filling and reasonably good for me.

They're also only 3 points on WW and if I close my eyes, I can believe I'm having Real peanut butter cookies or peppermint whores.

Haven't found the new Chocolate Raspberry ones - but I did find the new Berry Almond.

Here, let me throw myself on the grenade for you.

*puckers* TART. Not sweet like the Lemon Zest, no - and it does not have the flavored coating-like bottom that flavor does. Rather, this is more like an intensely PURPLE rice-krispy treat - it's sticky and clings to the wrapper.

Almond? Almond anywhere? Maybe - but the berry tastes boysenberry. Very, VERY boysenberry. Me like - then again, I like anything to do with boysenberries.

*reads label* Says "red berries, blueberries and almonds." It also says a lot about the breast cancer fund, but doesn't mention any donations toward it. It also says 70% organic - and that makes me wonder what part of organic this isn't. (Their tea cake line is USDA organic, and the label says certified by QAI, but no nine digit number. So. HUH?)

They're a Berkeley company. Somebody go bang on their door. I'll give you some empty wrappers to take with you.

Good change from the rest of the flavors - unless you like the cookies and cream, which I find bland to point of unsweetened shortening. If you're expecting something like that, you're going to get your face locked up ala SOUR SOUR SOUR.

The tea cake line tastes like it's good for you. 'Nuff said. You like that kind of thing, you go for it.

A few years back, I could have talked directly to one of the higher-ups in the company, as I taught at the little school her kid attended (we got bowls of their half-size sample bars in the staffroom) but that was back in the olden days.

There are new Luna flavors? W00t! And sour? Even better. I don't like the Lemon Zest flavor at all. Wayyyy too many of them a few years ago, and way too sweet. Going grocery shopping tonight, so I'll look for them.

There's one tea cake that's not too bad. I think it's the orange blossom.

I thought Luna was based out of Boulder, not Berkeley. I don't see a write to address, do you have more details?

Label says Berkeley, CA 94710 - and then there's http://www.lunabar.com -

I could never like Luna Bars. I don't know, they're just not me. OTOH, I'm really, really fond of the original Powerbars. You know, the ones that taste like chocolate flavored plastic. Could eat them all day every day. My husband was not even surprised by that revelation: I'm finicky, but I also like weird shit for someone so finicky. =P

Mm, Luna Bars. I have a boxful of S'mores flavor in my drawer for my "emergency food supplies" which, of course, I forget about whenever I'm desperate for food. Good stuff though and relatively healthy for you. Yum for health bars that taste like pastries.

I used to love them. But I think I ODed on them while I was pregnant. Some day I will get back to them, for now it's Oatmeal bars.

I eat a Luna bar every morning as part of breakfast. I wonder how many guys like me eat them despite their "for women" marketing.

We picked up some of the new chocolate raspberry ones tonight, although they didn't have any of the almond ones. We'll see how they are.
