Protein Bars & Candy

7.2

REVIEW: Zing Plant-Based Bars

Zing bars are a great plant-based and gluten-free option, and I can definitely recommend them on flavor alone. Unfortunately, the protein content is much lower than other options out there, preventing this from becoming a top-tier vegan protein bar.

REVIEW: CTRL Meal-On-The-Go Bars

CTRL bars have good flavor, but they are very sweet and lack the nutrition facts that would make this a go-to protein bar. The texture is very similar to Anabar, but overly sweet with less protein overall.

REVIEW: Woo Bars (Plant-Based Candy Bars)

Woo Bars use plant-based whey protein to create a candy bar that is fully plant-based and has half the sugar and twice the protein of most other candy bars.

REVIEW: Fit Crunch Bars

Fit Crunch Bars have been one of the leaders in the industry for quite some time, and based on the texture of these bars, I can see the appeal. However, the flavor is simply too artificial for me to truly enjoy these bars.

6.9

REVIEW: Gatorade’s Candy Bar-Like Protein Bars

Gatorade protein bars definitely have appeal as a change of pace from the typical chewy protein bars, but with over 300 calories and around 30 grams of sugar per bar, there are far better options out there.

6.9

REVIEW: Quest Peanut Butter Cups & Mini Peanut Butter Cups

Quest Peanut Butter Cups are a low-carb, high-protein alternative to Reese's Cups that look nearly identical to the real thing. But looks aren't everything...

6.8

REVIEW: Think! High-Protein Bars

Think! bars are pretty underwhelming, but considering their low price tag, they may be worth trying in a pinch. You can do worse, but you can also do much better.

6.8

REVIEW: Power Crunch Protein Bars (Wafer Bars)

Power Crunch Bars are great for a cheap high-protein snack that's different from most protein bars out there, but the flavors won't blow you away.

6.8

REVIEW: 1st Phorm Level-1 Protein Bars

1st Phorm has a very loyal following on social media who swear by these bars, so let's see if they can live up to the hype.

6.7

REVIEW: Nick’s Keto Protein Bars

I absolutely love Nick's light ice cream, but their protein bars tend to tell a different story. While the texture of these bars is awesome, the flavor doesn't quite hit the mark.

6.6

REVIEW: Clif Builders Protein Bars

Clif Builders Bars are decent for what they are, and they do have great texture. But the soy flavor is simply too strong in each bar, overpowering all of the other flavors.

6.5

REVIEW: New & Improved Magic Spoon Marshmallow Treats

Magic Spoon is one of the most popular high-protein cereals out there, but can their high-protein marshmallow treats live up to those expectations?

6.5

REVIEW: Vaughn’s Protein Marshmallow Crispies

Protein Rice Krispies sound great in theory, but this version just ends up tasting like a chewy cereal bar. It's decent, but not close to the marshmallow treats we all know and love.

6.5

REVIEW: Authentic Protein Bars

Yet another peanut butter-based protein bar has hit the market, and it looks very similar to others out there. But does it taste similar? Spoiler alert: yep!

6.4

REVIEW: ONE Crunch Protein Bars [Protein Rice Krispies?]

If you're expecting a light & airy marshmallow bar, you need to shift your expectations. While not as dense & chewy as a regular protein bar, these ONE crunch bars are much denser than I would have hoped.

6.4

REVIEW: MET-Rx Big 100 Protein Bars

There's no denying that MET-Rx bars are fun, and if you need a high-calorie option, these might be a good choice for you. But when compared to the other options available today, these are only average in almost every single category.

6.4

REVIEW: Optimum Nutrition Protein Wafers

Optimum Nutrition protein wafers are a very unique spin on your typical protein bar, but that's only worth something if they actually taste good...

6.4

REVIEW: Built Bar Puffs Protein Bars

Built Puffs are a very popular bar, and it's tough to argue why with the very good macros. But does the taste live up to the hype?

6.4

REVIEW: Barebells Plant-Based Protein Bars

Barebells protein bars are some of the most delicious bars out there, but how do their plant-based protein bars stack up?

6.4

REVIEW: Outright Peanut Butter Protein Bars

If you've ever had a jar of flavored high-protein peanut butter, you've experienced the flavor of Outright bars. They don't stand out against out peanut butter-based bars, but you could do worse.

6.4

REVIEW: Myprotein Crispy Wafer Bars

Flavor Tried: Vanilla Price: $28.99 for 10 ($2.89 each) Nutrition: 200 Calories,...

6.3

REVIEW: Promax Protein Bars

Promax protein bars are pretty average as far as taste is concerned, but their soft texture is pleasant compared to most overly chewy options out there.

6.3

REVIEW: Pure Protein Candy Bar Bites

Do Pure Protein Candy Bar Bites actually taste like candy? Not exactly. They're essentially just tiny protein bars, but they are slightly tastier than regular pure protein bars.

6.2

REVIEW: GoMacro Protein Bars

If you need a bar that checks all the health food boxes (gluten-free, plant-based, organic) then GoMacro has you covered, but the flavors won't blow you away.
