Barr Necessities

Natalia’s «It’s a Meal» cookies are fantastic. This is the first gluten free, paleo cookie I have tasted that is both moist, delicious, filling and full of healthy ingredients! I actually have to look away when I pass by them at Aroma Café in San Rafael in order not to buy several at a time! I have tried eating just half and saving the other half for later, but it is virtually impossible!
Don’t be put off by the $ 4 price tag — they are well worth it!

A few months ago, I was looking for food to take on an expedition to Mount McKinley. My husband and I needed something to eat during the day while climbing and I wanted to find a healthy alternative to the traditional fare of snickers and power bars.
On my wish list were whole, unprocessed foods, dense nutrition, organic ingredients, gluten free, dairy free, as little sweetener as possible and absolutely no junk. Oh, and I was hoping for something that tastes good, too. My quest was over when I found Barr Necessities’ «It’s A Meal Cookies» and «Turkish Delight Bars.» On top of fulfilling all of my nutritional wishes, they are amazing. Divine. Simple as that.
Natalia, the owner of Barr Necessities, took a special order on very short notice and even delivered the 30 days worth of adventure-​food to a location near my home.
Thank you so much, Natalia, for fueling our expedition with healthy food and for giving us something to eat that we were crazy excited about every single day.

My boyfriend surprised me with one of her cakes for my birthday and WOW! it was heavenly! All of my guests loved it too! You couldn’t even tell it was dairy and gluten free. She gets 5 stars of yumminess!

Natalia’s Cake pops are just wrong.
Wrong for not being in my kitchen everyday for me to feast on.
Wrong for being so good…
Wrong for me having zero self control when I am anywhere near them…
WAIT! THAT’S NOT TRUE! I DID BRING A WHOLE BUNCH FOR MY FRIEND ON HIS BIRTHDAY LAST WEEK (Friggin Rave Reviews), AND I MANAGED NOT TO PLOW THROUGH THEM BEFORE I GOT TO THE GATHERING!
But it was hard, very hard.
I think I need Barr Necessities carrot cake pop therapy. I keep thinking about them all the time… I want one now!!! I WANT 2! ONE ESPRESSO ONE AND ONE CARROT ONE…
Good thing I know I can find them at SANS in San Rafael almost all the time.

OMG!!! These cookies are stunningly delicious. My tiptop favorite is the Vegan Chocolate Cherry It’sa Meal. With only super healthy ORGANIC ingredients, it is way past being a cookie. It’s a dream that has magically become real enough to eat. Yummmm. Thank you for creating these.

Words can’t describe the Yumminess of Natalia’s Cake Pops! Fresh, moist and no one can eat just one:) Gluten-​free desserts that definitely make U feel like I’m cheating on t diet or point counting! For my customer appreciation celebration Cake Pops will b serve!

Delicious, beautiful and so unique and exciting. I am in love with Chef Natalia’s creations. I am a huge fan of the cake pops, in CHAI! And all the yummy fresh offerings, like jasmine and lavender essence, blood orange and blueberry cakes.
I don’t know how she does it, but I am happy to go gluten free in her capable hands.
Her other cakes are not to be missed as well. WOW!
