Each of the 5 flavours they sent me have roughly the same nutritional info (you can see the info sheet they sent me at the bottom of this review), so I like that it's consistent. These bars are fairly low in calories too - just marginally higher than lowest calorie content ones I've had - and they tasted considerably better. You can see from the nutritional info that they have a good nutritional mix for after a workout, so I'm going to focus my review on taste, in the order that I liked them of course!
As a side note, one thing I like about protein bars is that they're portable, which is important for me since I do many of my workouts at the gym.
On to the taste test!
- Chocolate Brownie.
LOVED this one. If I end up buying these myself, Chocolate Brownie is the flavour I will buy. The texture was almost like an EatMore bar, so the chocolate flavour just worked. Plus I love all things chocolatey.
- Almond Crunch
and
- Peanut Butter Crunch
I'm grouping those two together because I couldn't really differentiate between the two. They tasted like I expected they would - like peanut butter and like almond butter. Again the texture worked well with these flavours, so they were a close second favourite.
- Granola Crunch
I was glad that this was NOT like a granola bar. I like granola bars, but immediately after a workout it's not what I'm looking for. This was soft and chewy like the other bars, but had a nice bit of crunch to it. The reason it's number 4 on my list is that it's flavour wasn't as intense as the previous ones. It wasn't bland or anything, just in comparison to the other bars it didn't stick with me.
- Berry Almond Crunch
This is the only bar that I didn't love. I think the main issue is that I LOVE fruit in it's purest form, and not really in anything else. Except smoothies.
Overall I was really impressed with the bars. I've tried a lot of other ones that were less chewy and more cake like, so these were a welcome alternative.
