-Very high ratio of protein to calories

-Very low saturated fat compared to other protein bars,

-Next to no sugars

-Taste (see below)

Given those three, it’s really hard for me to complain about the taste. Does it taste like a Snickers bar? No. Does it taste bad? Absolutely not.

If you’re comparing the taste of these bars to high calorie protein bars with a lot of sugar and saturated fat, I suppose these don’t taste as good, but if you’re shopping for protein bars, most likely you’ll be better served by something with the nutritional content of Optimum Nutrition’s bars. These protein bars are for the person who wants to add extra protein to their diet with a minimal amount of additional calories. If you are looking for a bar with maximum calories to support rapid weight gain, these probably are not the best bar for you.

Flavor comments:

I’ve tried chocolate peanut butter, chocolate truffle, and toasted coconut, and I found all pleasant, but in order, I found the coconut the best (if you like coconut), followed by peanut butter, and then the chocolate truffle. I will order all of them again, but find myself eating more of the first two than the last.

Results:

Using these bars (1-2 per day) in combination with Optimum Nutrition’s 100% whey protein and a fairly rigorous exercise routine (P90x for those of you familiar with it), I’ve put on about 10 lbs of muscle in 6 months and completely changed the look of my body (shred a lot of fat and revealed the six-pack I’d been seeking my whole life). Obviously the exercise is more important than the protein bars I’ve been eating, but I find these bars make for an excellent between meal snack to keep my metabolism burning all day long. I keep a stock of these in the cupboard at all times and highly recommend them.
