Power Bar Protein Plus, Reduced Sugar, 2.47-Ounce Bars (Pack of 12) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I typically eat a protein bar every morning on my way to the gym. Chocolate-peanut butter is one of my favorite flavors, so I was expecting to like the chocolate-peanut butter flavor of Power Bar's reduced sugar line. Quite honestly, I was disappointed with this product. It doesn't have a lot of flavor and the texture is on the dry and gummy side. I like that it has 22 grams of protein and very little sugar, but the fat content is a little too high. The Pure Protein brand makes a similar low sugar bar that has almost as much protein but many fewer calories (The Power Bar has 270 calories; the Pure Protein about 200, depending on the flavor). I also much prefer the flavor and texture of the Pure Protein bars. To add insult to injury, the smaller Pure Protein bars -- the ones with a similar protein content to this product -- also cost less.

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

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:)
