Check out the natural/organic aisles in your grocery store, Boatman, or join your local co-op if you have one. I don't like the taste of artificial sweeteners and am trying to avoid high fructose corn syrup whenever possible, so when we buy juice or soft drinks we look for stuff made from cane juice or raw sugar.

As far as "energy bars" go, easy recipes can be found on the internet (I make protein bars for my husband), or look for Clif bars, Luna bars, or Larabars. They can be kind of pricey but are super tasty.
