Pure Protein Bars, High Protein,

BEST. BAR. EVER.
If you are looking for a protein bar that is not overloaded with carbs and sugars, like most protein bars are these days, you have come to the right place. I have Type 2 diabetes, so the first thing that I look at on a nutrition label is the sugar content. Most protein and energy bars have so much sugar in them that you might as well be eating a Snickers bar. This bar has the lowest amount of sugars (2g with 6g of sugar alcohol) and carbohydrates (16g) that I have found anywhere. The vast, vast majority of “protein” bars have WAY more carbs than they do protein. This bar is a very rare exception in that regard as well.At a fairly light 200 calories, Pure Protein may not be a complete “meal replacement”, but it definitely makes for a great snack for those wishing to stay on a high protein diet and not send their blood sugar levels flying through the roof. It is a good source of sustainable energy and the taste isn’t too bad. I would definitely never confuse it with a peanut butter cup. The overall taste is a bit bland and the chocolate is darker than the milk chocolate you will find in most candy bars. Still, if you have a craving for chocolate or something sweet, these bars are satisfying enough.I will upload a photo of the nutrition label for this product, since it doesn’t seem to be included in the description for whatever odd reason. There are no substantial numbers of vitamins or minerals in this product, so it definitely does not replace a multi-vitamin supplement or most protein shakes. It does include a disclaimer about sugar alcohols possibly causing intestinal discomfort. If you are only eating a single bar at a time, I have not known this to be a problem though. If you eat a few of them you will most likely see some slight discomfort though.Another odd disclaimer on the label mentions, “Partially Produced with Genetic Engineering”. As far as I know, manufacturers are not forced to disclose this fact in the United States, but they may be in Canada, where these bars are produced. Pretty much any processed foods are apt to contain GMOs. Typically, you are just never told about it though. At least Pure Protein is being up front about it. These bars also contain Sucralose. Some people do not react well to this ingredient. As a diabetic, I use Sucralose often though and do not have any side-effects unless I consume way too much of it at once. There is also some soy, but other than that it is absent a lot of scary sounding chemical ingredients.If you are looking to snack while controlling your blood sugar levels, I can’t recommend this product highly enough. If you are only concerned with taste, buy a Snickers bar. With 20g of protein and a minimum of sugars and carbs, this is one of the healthiest snacks you will find that tastes good and satisfies your sweet tooth. They are expensive from the perspective of cost/grams, but you are not going to find a better deal when it comes to quality protein in a compact, portable, highly tasty form.

Good product
Chocolate flavor tastes like all diet type chocolate, but is okay. Overall flavor is acceptable but bot as good as the lemon cake bars. A big punch of orotein for low calories. I have a lap band, and its easy to chew and swallow without getting “stuck”. An excellent way to boost protein intake in a small bar.

Good taste
I get these protein bars when traveling, they’re good to have on hand for breakfast when stain at someone else’s house. These have a decent amount of protein with a fairly low calorie count. So far, the chocolate peanut butter has had the best flavor of any that I have tried from Pure. You certainly taste the chocolate, with the peanut butter coming through, but not overwhelming, There is a very good balance between the two. The peanut butter center has a good texture, similar to the long wafer cookies, less crispy though and slightly chewier. This is going to be my go to bar from this particular brand from now on.

Average
The quality control on these bars needs to be better (along with the Salted chocolate caramel ones). The consistency/texture is sometimes drastically different. Sometimes they are soft/normal other times they are EXTREMELY tough/hard and very chewy. I had bought 3 boxes of pure protein bars these 2 flavors above and chocolate peanut caramel (the best of the three in terms of taste and consistency so far). So what I have tasted are all from the same boxes. As for the flavor of the chocolate PB its a pretty overwhelming chocolate flavor however you can taste some PB but the flavor is pretty muted. I’m planning to try some of the other flavors in hopes of finding one I really like.

小ぶりながら、ずっしりとしたプロテインバー。食感はヌガーっぽいです。周りをチョコでコーティングされていて、フレーバーは「チョコレートピーナツバター」です。書かれていなければピーナツって分からない程にピーナツ感はありません。結構お腹に溜まるので、食べた後は胃の辺りが重い感じ…美味しいタイプではありませんが、そこそこ腹持ちが良いので重宝しています。
