i dont let myself eat chocolate and all those lollies anymore, so im trying to find alternatives, but i dont think protein bars have quite taken their place.
I just bought this protein bar-- Musashi P40 (Australian made/owned). It has a massive 40 grams of protein per serve, and comes in 3 flavours: Choc berry, choc hazlenut, and banana choc.
The choc berry one was ok after about 5 bites, but then it got this awful bitter/artificial cherry taste. the only good thing about it was the choc coating-- but that's real chocolate and not helpful. for $4 (Aust) it has a whole lotta nutrients (plus omega 3 fats) but it's reminiscent of being forced to eat horrible medicine.
Why can't they make yummy protein bars that actually taste like what they say? Promax (i think they're US) have some pretty yummy looking flavours like blackforest cake, choc chip, blueberry cheesecake. The blackforest cake one was pretty good.
i think the vanilla crisp Powerbar is probably still the best. They're a bit tough on the teeth though, and it's a fair chew, but they taste the best (probably cuz they're so sweet).
Has anyone come across an energy/protein bar that tastes almost as good as chocolate? it's probably wishful thinking.
