PowerBar Performance The Original Energy Bar, 2.29-Ounce Bars Review

PowerBar Performance The Original Energy Bar, 2.29-Ounce Bars
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I am an endurance athlete who does long distance events. Powerbars are a staple of my pre and post-workout fueling regime. They are calorie dense (250 per bar) and combine protein and carbs (40 g. carbs, 8g protein) which the current research says is most optimal for performance. You are feel "full" during your training without discomfort or cramps. Plus, I just like the way they taste, but they all taste similar. Avoid the berry varieties and fruit flavors:) The downside of the bars is that they are not for "on the run"--they are rather chewy and need to be well digested. They also get hard in the cold, so do not bring with you on runs in the winter:)
Dieters, beware: these bars are not for weightloss, but performance. 250 calories is about the equivalent amount of calories in a donut, so make sure you're working out, too:)

PowerBar Pria Nutritional Bar, 110 Calories, .98-Ounce Bars (Pack of 30) Review

PowerBar Pria Nutritional Bar, 110 Calories, .98-Ounce Bars (Pack of 30)

I really like the taste of the Pria 110 Plus Bar Chocolate Peanut Crunch 15 bars, and they provide many nutrients for only 110 calories.
My only complaint is that the chocolate coating flakes off in many little pieces. I've gotten it all over my desk and my pants (until I learned to eat a bar over a paper towel or plate). Since the advantage of these bars is that they can be eaten on the go, the flaking is a major inconvenience. I have tried refrigerating the bars, but that makes them too hard to eat without raising concerns about chipping a tooth.
Here is the nutrition info (from the label of an individual 28g bar which is one serving) in case it is of interest:
110 calories (30 of which are from fat)
3.5g fat (2 of which are saturated fat)
85 mg sodium
5g protein
16g carbohydrates (including 1g dietary fiber)
15% of recommended daily allowance of Vitamin A
60% of recommended daily allowance of Vitamin C
30% of recommended daily allowance of Calcium
20% of recommended daily allowance of Iron
60% of recommended daily allowance of Vitamin E
15% of recommended daily allowance of Vitamin K
30% of recommended daily allowance of Thiamin
30% of recommended daily allowance of Riboflavin
30% of recommended daily allowance of Niacin
30% of recommended daily allowance of Vitamin B6
60% of recommended daily allowance of Folate
60% of recommended daily allowance of Vitamin B12
30% of recommended daily allowance of Biotin
60% of recommended daily allowance of Pantothenic Acid
15% of recommended daily allowance of Phosphorous
15% of recommended daily allowance of Iodine
15% of recommended daily allowance of Magnesium
15% of recommended daily allowance of Zinc
15% of recommended daily allowance of Selenium
15% of recommended daily allowance of Copper
15% of recommended daily allowance of Manganese
15% of recommended daily allowance of Chromium
15% of recommended daily allowance of Molybdenum (I don't know what that is but I did check the spelling!)
Not a significant source of cholesterol.
I am going to try the PowerBar Pria Nutritional Bar - Mint Chocolate Cookie - Box of 15 next in the hopes that it is not as messy to eat as the Pria 110 Plus Bar Chocolate Peanut Crunch 15 bars.
UPDATE: The coating of the Mint Chocolate Cookie Pria bars does not flake so I find them much less messy to eat at my desk and on the go. And they taste great,too.

Deliciously smarter. 110 calories; 4 g soy protein; 23 vitamins & minerals; excellent source of calcium, iron & folic acid. A crispy, chewy snack covered in chocolatey coating that keeps you going through your day. Be true. Be real. Be great.
