I needed a portable snack to eat after I went to the gym and was watching Jon&#8217;s hockey game.  I brought a Apricot Cashew <a href=\"http:\/\/www.boomibar.com\/factsboomi.asp\">Boomi Bar<\/a>.  What a nice treat!  \ud83d\ude42  I am a huge fan of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.larabar.com\/secure\/index_.php\">Lara Bars<\/a>, so I figured that I would like the Boomi Bar as well.  The Boomi Bar has whole cashew nuts in it, dried apricots, honey dates, crisped rice, amaranth, apples, natural apricot flavor &amp; salt.  It was really, really good.  I gave my mother-in-law a bite and she was also pleased with the taste and texture.  Not only are these bars gluten-free, but they are vegetarian too!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3274\/3005695740_7bf54d6330.jpg?v=0\"><\/p>\n<p>I would give these bars 5 stars.  They are tasty and filling.  I was intending on having a latte along with this and would call it breakfast since I was in a hurry, but ran out of time to grab my latte.  I was satisfied for a few hours on just the bar!  Great product.  You can buy them online at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boomibar.com\/OrderBoomiBar.asp\">Divine Foods<\/a>, by the case (24) for $38.40 or at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Boomi-Bar-Cranberry-Apple-Govardan\/dp\/B000289DZ8\">Amazon <\/a>for $1.75\/bar.<\/p>\n<p>While I am on the subject of bars, let me sing the praises of my love, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.larabar.com\/secure\/index_.php\">Lara Bar<\/a>.  I can&#8217;t say enough good things about these bars.  I have many favorites, but I think that Peanut Butter Cookie &amp; Pecan Pie are tied for first place.  I have yet to try the Chocolate Cherry or Chocolate Hazelnut, they are brand spankin&#8217; new, but I can&#8217;t wait!!!  YUM!!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3251\/3004860815_cef3984c12.jpg?v=0\"><\/p>\n<p><strong>Lara Bars<\/strong> ~ my favorites<br \/>\n1.
