Would you consider Luna Bars healthy and natural?
ByI am trying to eat as natural as possible(I’m vegan btw) and I was wondering if Luna Bars are healthy and natural. I read each ingredient and looked up the ones I didn’t know. THey all seem healthy, but not everything is what it seems of course.
Would you consider Luna Bars healthy and natural? Yes or no, and why?

No. They’re high in sugar, and bear no resemblance to the foods they originally come from. They are enriched with vitamins extracted from other foods, and from soy protein made by de-fatted soy flour isolates.
It’s not bad for you, but it, for me, would be a snack food, to be consumed rarely.

There pretty healthy I think, I doubt they’re really natural though, considering I can’t even pronounce a lot of the ingredients on the label.

They are higher in sugar than ideal, but in an emergency you could do a lot worse! For more ideas for Vegan quick foods see “Products We Love” in the site below.

No, but they are good as a snack. There are a number of processed ingredients in Luna Bars, so they can’t be called natural. And I don’t know if I’d say they’re “healthy,” but there are far worse foods you can eat.
The Nectar bars are more natural, as they are just fruit and nuts.
