These are the 12 "old" Luna Bars. I guess I'm getting this in right under the wire - my Whole Foods didn't have the 3 new ones yet.
Overall, I like Luna Bars and I'm glad to know about them as something to take with when I may be away from home food for a while, but I find that I'm hungry less than an hour after I eat one. Sometimes I feel like I'm hungry an hour after I ate one even if I wasn't hungry when I ate it. (If that makes sense.) I was pretty suprised at that, since I thought the protein would stave off hunger for a while.
Anyhow, my reviews:
Nutz Over Chocolate - Very good; tastes sort of like a Baby Ruth candy bar
Lemon Zest - Good, but very sweet
S'mores - Good; doesn't taste like S'mores, but does taste like Nestle's Crunch Bar, which I really like
Chocolate Pecan Pie - Didn't do anything for me; tasted sort of blah
Toasted Nuts and Cranberry - Good; tastes like granola did back when it was first "discovered" and people made their own
Chocolate Peppermint Stick - Oh, my - yum! Tastes almost like a Girl Scout Thin Mint cookie, the absolute nirvana of cookiedom. Definitely my favorite!
Dulce de Leche - Good; tastes like the old Bit-O-Honey bars
Key Lime Pie - Good; just enough lime, not too sweet, can almost taste the graham cracker crust
Cherry Covered Chocolate - Skipped; I don't like cherry and chocolate together
Sweet Dreams - This one I don't like; tastes like coffee to me and I'm not a coffee person
Chai Tea - Skipped; I'm pretty sensitive to caffeine
Orange Bliss - Not for me; tastes just like Tropicana Orange Juice and gave me a touch of indigestion
