Review excerpt: "I won’t lie – I’m not a huge fan of lemongrass anything. I’ve tried in a lot of different products but, just can’t get behind it…until now that is. This bar was so delicious and filling! It was the perfect combination of lemongrass and cherry flavors. They balanced each other out perfectly so I couldn’t taste one over the other. The consistency was that of a granola bar, but the soft and chewy kind. It also left me satisfied for a while which bars usually don’t. It’s also vegan for any of our vegan followers out there who are looking for a new and delicious snack."

THE DYRT TEAM VERDICT OF LIVBAR: 

“I really like that LivBars are made in Salem, OR. It’s great to know that a local small business is behind them. And as someone who usually picks snacks based on flavor instead of substance, I feel comfortable knowing I won’t have to choose between taste or quality ingredients.” — Taylor (usually snacks on Tootsie Rolls)

“It isn’t too mealy or gluey or hard like some health snacks can be. It’s the first time I’ve tried a supplement bar that tastes like real, appealing food instead of dessert-protein Frankenstein.” — Meg (usually snacks on corn chips)

“These bars do a really good job of integrating unique and exciting flavors into something both yummy and filling. I would definitely bring these out on the trail.” — Maggie (usually snacks on frozen waffles)

“The blueberry vanilla kale bars are super tasty and light.” — Sarah (usually snacks on beef jerky)

“I tried the lemongrass, cherry, matcha. I like that it’s made of real ingredients, not artificial junk. The lemongrass flavor really stands out. It’s a nice texture – it’s somewhat hard to the touch but soft and chewy once you bite into it. Really unique flavor options. Love that the wrapper is compostable!” — Anna (usually snacks on granola)
