Favorite luna bar?


Quote  |  Reply
I know it's early so probably no one will reply, but I'm thinking of getting a Luna bar once I get to school today and I want to know what your favorite flavors are.  I've only had one before, the Nutz over Chocolate, and it was good, but I want to try a different one this time.  Any suggestions which to get?  Which to avoid?

Chocolate peppermint or caramel nut brownie.  :)  The new chocolate raspberry one is also pretty good.

I use them as snacks.  They are a little lacking to be meal replacements.

the new chocolate raspberry, chocolate peppermint stick, and peanut butter cookie! Im recovering from anorexia and have to have them daily for snacks. I wish they would come out with more flavors though. It gets a little boring even with all the other flavors out there.
i have these as a snack quite alot, or sometimes along with lunch. i really like the "dulce de leche" flavor. i also like the caramel nut brownie, peppermint stick, cookies n cream delight, berry almond, peanut butter cookie and chocolate pecan pie. i don't like the smores or the lemon zest. but they're all worth a try to see what you like and don't like. :) 
mmm I love Luna Bars. I eat one every day at school. My absolute favorite is Chocolate peppermint stick! I also eat the pb cookie, smores, nutz over chocolate, dulce de leche, and once in awhile the lemon zest or iced oatmeal raisin.
I hate the caramel nut brownie and cranberry almond with a passion. The caramel brownie is a million times too sweet, but the nuts make it bitter and odd tasting, like waxy. The cranberry almond is really bland, plus I don't like the cranberries in it : P
Nutz Over Chocolate is really good.  I mix it up a bit though.  Chai Tea is good, and the Blueberry one touted as morning nutrition is pretty good.  Hands down WORSE one is Cranberry and Nuts. UG!

if i want something sweet i go with the dulce de leche or Smores
but most of the time i have the iced oatmeal raisin or chai tea.
my all time favorite is lemon zest!

but i havent tryed them all yet.

 

ooo just tried the new blueberry "sunrise" luna bar and its awesome!!! =)

i hope they come out with new flavors i think i've tried them all now lol

I haven't seen the blueberry sunrise one anywhere, but i looooove the vanilla and strawberry ones... so I'm glad the blueberry one got a good review. ;)  I'm excited to try it, once I find it!

I had dulce de leche yesterday.  I'd had it before, but not in a while... I think they've changed their recipes, and it seemed different.  The coating was on top, and was chewier.  Anyway, it was a good change.  That's what I love about luna bars-- I don't really dislike any, so I can chenge it up all the time and havign something "new" that I haven't had in a while, and I know i'll like it!  :)

Question: do yall eat these as snacks or meal replacement?

Snack!!  I could never sustain on one of those for a meal!  On the occassion that I just can't get to some decent food (usually work related) I chomp a Clif Bar because they are much more dense and have a higher calorie content 250 cals.  But they will do the trick.  I would still feel hungry right afterwards if I did that with a Luna Bar.

For me, most of the time as a snack.

However, when I travel, I like to pack them as a little mini meal so I don't have to deal with airport food. A Luna bar is a perfect light lunch paired with an apple or fruit cup I can get from a mini mart or Au Bon Pan in the airport.

I do the same thing - substitute it as a meal with an apple or some other piece of fruit.  Also, I might eat it around lunch and have another snack when I get home (kind of 2 snacks instead of a meal).

my Mom has them for dessert sometimes, haha!

also, on topic - I just ordered two boxes of Luna Bars from Amazon.com.  they go for about $1 a piece and if you order two 15-boxes, shipping is free.  I have one just about every day, so I thought it might be a good investment.

are you guys vegans/vegetarians or just Luna bar fans? 

I like the cookies and cream and nuts over chocolate. I imagine all of them are really good. I usually eat them for breakfast.

are you guys vegans/vegetarians or just Luna bar fans? 

I'm a vegetarian-with-vegan-tendancies (haha...), so Luna bars make me EXTRA happy.  :)

My favorite is the Chocolate Raspberry, but there are several good ones out there. I've tried the Cran-Almond one, and though it's bland, it's nice to have around when you don't want something overly sweet. Lemon Zest is not my thing, it's just too sugary and off-tasting.

Caramel nut brownie, although it has 10 more calories then the others at 190 calories but well worth it, i like to eat them for dessert sometimes. I also love the cookies and cream ones, nuts over chocolate, and cranberry nut. 

My favorite is probably the Dulce de Leche, followed by the S'mores or Lemon Zest. Another type of LUNA I'd highly recommend is from their "Tea Cake" line. They're a bit smaller than a regular LUNA bar (around 150 cals I think?), but the Vanilla Macadamia is pretty amazing. As for me, I very rarely use them as a meal replacement, only if I'm extremely crunched for time in the morning. More often than not I use them as a mid afternoon snack in between my classes.
