LARABAR
Fresh Wednesday's at
City Hall continue until October and I was there yesterday taking in the activity. After doing some admin inside City Hall for the Shoot Toronto photo exhibition (it takes place from Sept. 10-16 in the rotunda) I then met up with Kibbutz D.
We strolled around, bought lots of fruit and veg, had lunch in the square and chatted with some fun farmers and got some free
LARABARs.
Larabars are all natural food bars created by a woman named Lara, who wanted a health bar that tasted good and came in some interesting flavours. She came up with the idea while hiking in the
Rocky Mountains of Colorado.
A true entrepreneur, she put in some blood, sweat and tears and made the first 500 at her home with a
cuisinart and a rolling pin. Now the
Larabars are sold in Canada, US, UK, Singapore, Iceland and Israel.
The one we had was filling and tasted great with a bit of bite as it had some cinnamon in it, it was called Cocoa
Môlé. Try and pick one up at your local health food store and taste for yourself. The staff at the booth were so helpful and friendly!
An interesting story about these health bars,
Nathalie almost mowed down
Sarah Jessica Parker when she was trying to buy a energy bar in NYC earlier this year (not sure if it was a
Larabar she was searching for?).
Maybe I will give her a few of these mini ones to keep in her purse so when she has another low sugar attack she
doesn’t have to push by
SJP to get her fix! She was so frantic to get some food in her that she
didn’t recognize
SJP until her cashier was excitedly saying,
‘it’s Carrie Bradshaw.’ I love this story!

Get down to Toronto City Hall for some fresh produce from Ontario farmers and get some entertainment while you're at it. Get free hugs from a random free hugging group (which is very nice) and eat from some interesting stalls selling Canadian bacon, Jamaican food and more. Then quench your thirst from the TO tap water mobile. 'Toronto tap water - always safe to drink. Tested 24/7' A few weeks ago, I think they said our water is cleaner than Evian ...v.interesting indeed.
