Pro Bar - an initial review of a protien/energy bar
If you have a need for 99% raw, 90% organic, etc. based energy bar. This is one for you. Costing just shy of $3.50 at the LBS I've now tried several of them.
Overall they're o.k. The flavor is subtle, in that they rely on the ingredients, so there's no strong flavor of what the package suggests. In other words the berry flavored ones are o.k. The chocolate one has a light chocolate taste to it, and the one marked "Kettle Corn" well.. it's sweet, I'll give it that.
Texture is good... since it's mostly raw ingredients mushed together it has a nice combination of chewy and crunchy (though the smaller seeds can get stuck in some bad places in you mouth.)
They are hefty in calories though ranging from 320 to 400 per bar. This is higher then a lot of other bars out there.
So overall o.k., good if you have certain needs (e.g. 100% vegan). On the other hand if you have mild allergies (look up oral allergy syndrome) like I do, this can trigger them.

Hey, was poking around the blog world and saw this review. While I wish they were more than "ok" to you, we appreciate the honest review.
