Luna lemon*, Luna nuts over chocolate*, Lärabar peanut butter chocolate chip*, many of the Picky Bars, some of the Clif Bar flavors*…
- the minis, if I can find them. Perfect size for snacking, and riding too. Just remember to pre-nick the Clif Bar packages to make them easier to open while riding.
The Luna bars can get messy on a hot ride, or kept close to the body.
There are also these ‘Keto Bars’, but they are expensive. Hard to eat on a bike as they tend to be dry, and fracture easily. (Require lots of water to wash them down)
Oh, there is a bar that I’ve only seen at Costco. It’s in a rather plain brown box, but is from General Mills. It’s also a bar that often shatters in the mouth, and tends to be dry, but the flavor isn’t too bad, and it’s not drenched in big time sugars.
Then there’s ‘Lenny and Larry’s, Complete Cookie’. Sugar, yep, but they also have protein, and for a borderline crap cookie, they don’t seem to be ridiculous. I mean, I wouldn’t ever eat more than one, and the peanut butter is not too bad, the chocolate chip is pretty good too, but some people consider them ‘crap’. But looking at the Clif Builder candy bars, at least these have some redeeming ingredients. I find them all over the place too. Point is, there is lots of worse stuff out there to snarf.
PBJ!! Bananas, some chips and organic salsa/hummus, carrots, walnuts, pistachios, etc…
