It's surprisingly good. Tastes like dried apples with a little raisin thrown in - I didn't really notice the veggie part. It smells pretty weird, and whenever I eat it around my friends, I get funny looks and wrinked noses, but the smell doesn't affect the taste at all! Though you don't want to replace actual fresh fruit and vegetables with this bar, I do think it's better than not having them at all, and I try to keep one in my bag for the really long days. I definitely prefer eating this to vending machine snacks or yet another fast food meal (the only choices near my school).

Extend Bar Appetite & Blood Sugar Management Bar 15 ea Review

Extend Bar Appetite and Blood Sugar Management Bar 15 ea
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Going on Weight Watchers has its challenges. I have lost about 40 lbs to date and it has been good but I find that many of the products recommended by them have too much sugar. For example, everyone suggested Fiber One Bars as a snack because they are low in points. I noticed though that they spiked my blood sugar and stalled my weight loss. I switched to Extend Bars and boy, what a difference! I eat one of these every day, some times two. I really like them before bed or in the morning to help stabilize my blood sugar (I am hypoglycemic, pre-diabetic). I never have trouble eating breakfast now, these with a glass of skim milk or coffee and milk and a piece of fruit and I am good to go until lunch.
What is the difference between Extend Bars and the rest on the market? First, they are only a 150 calories with only 3 grams of fat but 11 grams of protein per bar. They also have 5 grams of fiber, just enough to help digestion, without causing stomach discomfort. (Something I can not say about some of the others on the market!)
I can not find another bar on the market to match those protein and fiber stats for the little calories and fat exchange. Also, the glycemic index is low because this bar contains a special slow digesting corn starch created from a corn grain that is different than the normal variety. It does not allow the blood sugar to spike, which can stall weight loss. This is the number one selling point for me, high protein and low glycemic...
Finally because I really believe we eat WAY too many processed carbs in our diet, this satisfied me in another area, it has a low net carb ratio, and does it WITHOUT the use of high levels of sugar alcohol. There are only 4 grams of sugar alcohol per bar, that is completely different than any other low carb bar on the market.
I really like the Chocolate and Peanut Butter, but not too wild about the berry and apple ones though. These taste exactly like the South Beach Cereal Bars, just less sweet. Give them a chance, they are not going to be as sweet as other things on the market...but they are great with coffee or milk...helps them not be too dry. Be sure to drink plenty of water as will any high fiber bar.

First, they are protien bars not snickers or 3 musketeers or anything of the sort. I work out five times a week and eat healthy everyday, these bars are my treats, they have most of the protien I need in one meal and they taste fabulous IF you compare it to a non fat low carb alfafa sprout and goat cheese wrap. I have tried a good majority of the protien bars out there and this is pretty much the only one I like. two thumbs up!

Athletes, anyone pursuing a high protein diet and active people from all walks of life require a higher protein intake than the average person - and the new PROTEIN PLUS food bar is the best tasting, most convenient way to get that extra protein. PROTEINPLUS bar delivers almost twice the protein per gram compared to most other bars, and it's easily digested and absorbed for faster, more effective lean muscle growth and body fat loss.IMPORTANT MESSAGE CONCERNING MET-RX BARS: Met-Rx bar Mud Pie contains chocolate and may melt during transit.

Average Reviews:

My husband and I started purchasing Kardea bars several months ago. The original reason for the purchase was to aid in lowing my husband's cholesterol. Kardea bars have now replaced other breakfast and power bars we previously purchased. For me cholesterol isn't a problem. Although, I do enjoy the bars, especially the Chi Spice with a cup of tea. Besides the great taste, the bars are low in fat and high in fiber. For anyone who follows Weight Watchers the bars are low in points. You feel like you're cheating when you're not!!

balance CARB WELL Nutrition Energy Bar 15 ea Review

balance CARB WELL Nutrition Energy Bar 15 ea
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
yummy. some of the best tasting protein bars available. great for low-carb dieters or diabetics if you believe in the theory that "net carbs" (carbs minus fiber, etc.) should be counted instead of just "carbs". no artificial sweeteners like sucralose, etc., which is good if you think those things may cause cancer...the low "net carbs" are due to a high amount of "sugar alcohols". these bars are best found for less than $1 per bar or $15 per 15 bar case.
ABOUT SUGAR ALCOHOLS
Sugar alcohols are usually incompletely absorbed into the blood stream from the small intestines which generally results in a smaller change in blood glucose than regular sugar (sucrose). This makes them popular sweeteners among diabetics and low-carb dieters. As with many other incompletely digestible substances (dietary fiber), overconsumption can lead to bloating, diarrhea and flatulence because they are not absorbed in the small intestine. Doesn't happen to me... Good luck.

These fiber carbohydrates are calorie free. Sugar Alcohols generally have little effect on blood sugar.

Kardea Vegan Variety Pak-10 Nutrition Bars - Heart Healthy, High Fiber, Lower Glycemic, Delicious Review

Kardea Vegan Variety Pak-10 Nutrition Bars - Heart Healthy, High Fiber, Lower Glycemic, Delicious
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My family just loves Kardea bars. They are a great, healthy snack that are easy to toss in a briefcase, desk drawer, or backpack. Better still, the combination of the sweetness, the chewy texture with bits of oats and fruit, and the subtle flavors -- like the spices in the chai spice -- which make them very satisfying.
The nutritional profile is excellent -- most bars pack a lot of calories and fat. These don't, they are only 150 calories and have only 5 grams of fat (0 trans fats). Plus, they have more protein and fiber than most other good-tasting bars, which is probably why they really "last" as a snack.
I love the variety pack for travel -- at home I use the full 15-bar boxes of individual flavors.
Great product.

CytoSport Muscle Milk Light Bar Review

CytoSport Muscle Milk Light Bar
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This review is for: Muscle Milk Light Bar (Chocolate Peanut Caramel):

I tried the Muscle Milk drinks. They are high protein and filling and I like that I can find them in Lactose Free varieties - chocolate and vanilla. So I thought I'd give the protein bars a go for a change from all that fluid intake(and output). I went with the Muscle Milk Light Chocolate Peanut Caramel. The bars were also zero lactose which is a plus in my case(I have a really really bad relationship with dairy products).
Nutrition info wise - they appealed to me as well. High protein 15 grms;low sugar 9 gr(compared to other protein bars), 170 calories - which are filling and satisfying ,0 cholesterol,6 gr fat(4 saturated, 0 trans)sodium - 105mg,100mg potassium and 4 gm of dietary fiber - not too bad - remember these are the "light" bars. If you are looking for a good source of vitamins and minerals, you won't find that here, so I don't think I would use them as a meal replacement.Also - there are 18 gr of carbs.
The taste was good - very chocolaty and a good taste of the caramel filling as well. The bar is small but hefty weighing in at 1.59 oz. And I found that it was a great way to control hunger between meals. I found though, they stuck to and between my teeth, so this is not something I would eat on the run or right before an important meeting. You really need to brush or rinse afterwards.
The ingredients, which include a bunch of stuff that just doesn't sound too healthy(a couple I couldn't pronounce) and the sticking to my teeth factor, keep me from going 4 or 5 stars.
Here are the ingredients(for the chocolate caramel peanut bar):
Hydrolyzed Gelatin,polydextrose,evaporated cane juice solids,whey protein isolate,fractionated palm kernel oil,milk protein isolate,water,honey roasted peanuts(peanuts,sugar,peanut and/or canola oil,honey,salt,modified potato starch and xanathan gum)corn syrup,nonfat dry milk,glycerin,high maltose corn syrup,peanut flour,cocoa powder, soy lecithin,crystalline fructose,natural and artificial flavors, partially hydrogenated palm oil,salt,butter,sucralose
What the heck is fractionated palm kernel oil or crystalline fructose anyway? Partailly hydrogenated palm oil - isn't that the stuff that all the experts say to stay away from?
Also included milk,peanuts,soy and manufactured in a facility that processes tree nuts.I'm guessing the dairy products like milk are something like "Lactaid" that doesn't have the lactose. I had no lactose intolerant problems with these.
The shelf life looks to be about a year from the manufacture date.
So 3 stars I guess for being high protein, good tasting and lactose free -a VERY occasional snack.
Also check here to compare deals:Muscle Milk Light Bar Chocolate Peanut Caramel 12 bars -where you will also find at this time an option for the Vanilla Toffee Crunch variety.
Remember to breathe, eat healthy and enjoy!..... Laurie
