I'm here today with all of these different protein bars
0:02
So I've got a lot of different brands and even some different flavors here for the bars
0:06
Now I've tested these with the family and it was very fun to do. So cutting them all up, seeing the inside
0:12
and what they look like, and then trying to taste them and see what the quality of each of these was
0:17
Now I have a few favorites. So I really like this track one. It's a little bit flapjack
0:22
a little bit of a granola type of thing. And then this Cliff one as well. Those two are a little bit of granola type of structure
0:29
So a little bit grainy. My son didn't really love those, but they aren't too sweet
0:34
And you actually get the taste of biting into something healthy. So if you are looking for that grainy texture
0:40
that granola bar type of texture, then I'd really recommend these Cliffs
0:44
So these Cliff ones, they have 11 grams of protein per bar
0:49
and they're plant-based, which is also pretty nice. And then these track ones, these ones I've salted caramel
0:54
They have nine grams of plant-based protein. My son really liked this Grenade one
1:00
This is the Oreo flavor. It says it has low sugar, but it's really, really sweet
1:04
So I think they put in some artificial sweeteners here, but this one has 21 grams of protein
1:09
which is really on the high side. Even these Snickers and the Mars ones
1:13
have 20 and 18 grams of protein respectively. So this one has a really high protein count per bar
1:19
Now it was a little too sweet for me. I did like the Oreo taste though
1:23
If you do like your bars on the sweeter side, then this Oreo Grenade one is a great one to get
1:28
Now, I don't know why Mars and Snickers, why those types of bars got into this protein game
1:33
because these are the worst ones by far, even worse than the Snickers one
1:37
It just had this protein kind of aftertaste. Really didn't like that
1:42
It is very high in caramel. I think to mask the protein just a little bit
1:47
and it is very sweet. Then the Snickers ones, the white one was okay
1:52
I like the normal one a little bit better. They don't taste like the Mars or Snickers bars
1:57
that you're used to. You can really taste the difference here like the normal Snickers bars
2:01
So don't think you get a Snickers bar when you buy one of these
2:04
The protein count is amazing though and it has two grams of sugar, but there's a lot of artificial sweetener in here
2:10
There's no mistake about that. So the Snickers one, it can just taste the peanut butter
2:14
and the brittle just a little bit, which masks the taste a little better than the Mars ones
2:19
And the Bearbell ones, I like these the best for like a chocolate bar the most
2:24
So if you don't really like the granola one, I'd recommend the Bearbells
2:28
and the Hazelnut Nougat was my favorite. Cookies and Cream, I tried them and Caramel Cashew here
2:33
Hazelnut Nougat was my favorite. They aren't overly sweet, so that's pretty great
2:37
And they also have 20 grams of protein in them. All of these flavors do, so the flavor doesn't matter here
2:42
Then the Naked ones, this is more like a little fruit bar
2:46
So this is a raw fruit and nut bar. You also have a few different flavors here
2:51
but for the texture, it doesn't really matter. It's just like compressed fruit
2:55
like a little block of goo. It is completely vegan here and gluten and wheat free
3:00
and dairy free, of course, vegan. So this is a good option if you like that fruity flavor
3:06
Then the Fulfill Chocolate Caramel, high protein bars. Also have a lot of vitamins in them
3:11
So nine vitamins, low in sugar and high in protein. I think these are just somewhat in the middle for me
3:17
They have like this crunchy texture on top, which is nice when you bite into it
3:21
but the middle is just soft. So I didn't really like those the best
3:25
I think the Bear Bells do a better job of getting a little crunch in there. So these are okay, but not my favorites
3:31
The Quest Nutrition ones are a nice touch. It has 20 grams of protein and four grams of net carbs
3:37
and two grams of sugar, which is not all that much. They aren't too sweet. I did like them
3:41
It's a little bit of getting used to, and I couldn't eat these every day. Just use these as like a nice step away
3:48
from the chocolate ones and the granola ones. And this is just really a different type of structure
3:54
almost maybe like a muffin here. I like this flavor, the blueberry muffin one
3:59
It has, I think it fits best with the structure of these Quest ones
4:03
These ones are good to get just a little bit of a different mouthfeel. And the P is the smart ones
4:07
This one was, well, I think the, like the cookie kind of thing in the middle
4:12
It's just a little bit weird for me. Now they only have 10 grams of protein, but they're also very small
4:17
about half the size of the Bear Bells. So 10 grams of protein is still pretty much okay
4:22
But if you eat one of these, just remember that you're only getting 10. And then the Warrior Crunch
4:26
which is also very, very nice. It really does have a lot of crunch
4:30
when you bite into it. 2.1 grams of sugar and 20 grams of protein here
4:34
It is a little bit on the sweet side for me, but the crunch makes up for a lot of that
4:40
So this was, I think it really is the crunchiest. They call it Warrior Crunch
4:44
but it really is the crunchiest. So I still like this pretty, pretty much
4:47
But my recommendations, if you like that granola bar type of thing
4:51
these Cliffs are great. If you more like the chocolate bars, then I'd recommend the Bear Bells
