While we appreciate this product’s extremely simple ingredients list (dates, unsweetened coconut, almonds, cashews, extra virgin coconut oil), the Coconut Cream Pie is a definite misnomer. Specifically, this bar is not what we expected from the “Cream Pie” part of the name. First of all, it doesn’t taste like any cream pie that we’ve ever had, aside from maybe the touch of coconut oil that’s in the finish. Otherwise, this product tastes like shredded coconut, dates, and nuts. It’s not bad, but the pairing of coconut and dates seems less than perfect. Packaging is decent and uses the standard LaraBar look. However, making the flavor name a bit larger would probably help given the bar’s lack of graphics. Nutritionally, the bar has 5g of fiber, 3g of protein, 200 calories, 10g of fat, and a variety of vitamins, making it appropriate for a snack more than anything else. Overall, it’s good, but the flavor really needs a bit more balance than it currently has.
