LÄRABAR – A Bar That’s Real Food (+ a giveaway!)

This contest is now closed. In a few days the winners will be emailed directly.

Last year we unearthed a number of bars that were touting healthy ingredients but were instead actually chock full of extra unhealthy ingredients. We also talked about one bar that has long been a favorite of ours: LÄRABAR.

It’s easy to see why I’m a fan of LÄRABARS. With most of their flavors weighing in with fewer than five ingredients, all of which are natural and things I would cook with at home, it’s a snack I feel good about giving my family. I also love that they have numerous flavors to keep things interesting. I’m not going to lie …my daughters love the ones with chocolate!

LÄRABAR - A Bar That's Real Food (+ a giveaway!) on 100 Days of Real Food

LÄRABAR recently conducted a survey in which they found that nearly 3 in 4 consumers (72% to be exact) believe there is a difference between packaged food and real food. However, the majority also believe that the primary LÄRABAR ingredients, fruits (90%) and nuts (78%), are real food. LÄRABAR founder Lara Merriken established the company on the idea that real food should be accessible to all. LÄRABAR is blended from simple ingredients like unsweetened fruits, nuts and spices 100% real, and minimally processed. And I am so happy that they are available since real food in a package is certainly convenient on occasion!

Whether you’re already a fan or haven’t tried one yet, this giveaway is a great way to stock up for a while!

Recipe Tzatziki Sauce for 100 Days of Real Food
This Greek yogurt-based sauce is incredibly simple to make and versatile. It is traditionally served with souvlaki and gyros, but we think there are many more possibilities beyond these dishes. Tzatziki can be used as a dip for veggies and whole-wheat pretzels (instead of bottled ranch dressing) or

Almond Encrusted Fish by 100 Days of Real Food
I am thrilled because I finally figured out a way to cook fish so my daughters will actually eat it! My 3-year-old (who is the picky one) even had a second helping. This was after at least a dozen failed seafood attempts, but in the end it was worth it. I am sure the fish being covered in almonds an

The American Academy of Pediatrics estimates that children are subject to a staggering seven hours of media each day in the form of television, computers, phones, and electronic devices. Personally, in our household, screen time is very much limited. But lets be honest, no matter how much you try to shield your kids from screens and everything that goes along with them, it’s virtually (pardon the pun) impossible. The issue at hand here is not how much they're watching television or playing on their iPhone; it's the marketing that’s being shoved in their faces during most waking hours--in particular, food marketing to kids. What Studies Show The Center for Science in the Public Interest reviewed 28 hours of Nickelodeon programming last October (2012) and noted that of the food ads shown, 69% were for items of poor nutritional value (sugary cereals, candy/fruit snacks, flavored yogurt, fast food, etc.). And in total, according to The Food Marketing Workgroup, the junk-food industry spends almost $2 billion a year on marketing to young people. The concerns are many when it comes to marketing to kids, especially when considering the ever increasing obesity rates. Jessica Castonguay, a Doctoral Candidate in Communications at the University of Arizona, recently participated in a study assessing whether childhood obesity is linked to clever marketing tactics. “Unfortunately our study found that health messages are frequently used to advertise foods that are not particularly healthy,” she says of their findings. “Implying that a cereal gives kids the energy to make them better athletes, despite the fact that it has more than 10 grams of sugar per serving, seems misleading. I want children to learn the difference between truly healthy choices and occasional treats. My fear is that advertisers are blurring those lines.” We all know that marketing tactics and words can be confusing, even as educated adults. The words “natural,” “real,” “whole grain,” or “whole wheat” are just some of the terms that get used in various contexts. If we have a tough time wading our way through the terms, how in the world can we expect kids to have any luck? Studies have shown that food advertising can contribute to numerous health problems, including being overweight, which, by the way, has increased to 35% of children aged 6-11. Even on a day-to-day basis, it’s just plain annoying to have kids ask for foods and products they see on TV that they’d otherwise not know about, ones that many of us try to steer them away from as best as we can. And since we’re talking about it, how cool would it be to see advertisements for vegetables or fruits coupled with a kid-known celebrity or cartoon character (hint-hint, Ad Council)?

Chocolate Peppermint Cookies by 100 Days of #RealFood
In case you're attending any "cookie exchange" parties this year or just want to switch things up from the typical holiday sugar cookie cut outs...I have a recipe for you. This is an oldie, but goodie that I have been making for many years. They do contain refined white sugar (gasp!), which means they don't follow our real food rules to a T. But, other than that they are made completely from scratch and therefore light years beyond any of those packaged cookie dough rolls or boxed cookies you'll find for sale these days. So for that reason alone - I think these are a great way to satisfy your sweet tooth this holiday season (in moderation of course)! Now I did make these cookies into cute little shapes with the help of my cookie press (that I've had forever and love). I also tried this recipe without using the press for those of you who may not have one, and while they came out just fine our preference (mainly for texture reasons) is definitely to make this recipe with the press. They just come out a lot more crisp with the press, which I think is best with these flavors. Plus, aren't they just adorable in all these fun shapes? And bonus - if you wanted to dip these cookies in melted chocolate (and let them harden of course) you'd have yourself some homemade Thin Mints. Yum! :)
