Welcome to day 23 of Tag Sale Tastes’ Pumpkinpalooza 2020!
Today we are nibbling on a Pumpkin Pie Larabar:
The bright orange wrapper and a few fall leaves indicate this is a seasonal product.
This bar is a “magical harmony of fruits, nuts and spices that will lift your vitality and provide energy with every bite.”
The ingredient list contains pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and ginger — impressive pumpkin spice line up — along with dates, cashews, apples, and almonds. It’s a virtuous little thing, isn’t it?
Ready for the unveiling?
The little bar is quite a bit smaller than the packaging suggests. I like that you can see so many of the ingredients. The color is quite pumpkin-y, and the spices are present and accounted for. I liked this tasty, chewy diminutive bar. But I didn’t feel worthy of it. This is pretty much predigested trail mix, for people who don’t have time to stop and chew their food — you know, like athletes. For me to really enjoy this 200-calorie bar I’d have to be doing something other than sitting at my desk (or on my couch), i.e., something that requires fuel.

This cereal packs a lot of goodness into every spoon — “every flake bursts with the essential nutrients you need to make you feel strong from the inside.” I guess the outside is your problem.
