The Power In A Power Bar

by jo.com Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 10, Oct 07 '01
Pros: An inexpensive bar with a lot of vitamins.
Cons: A lot of sugar and not enough protein.
I am reviewing PowerBars and will start with this statement: What you are using this and any bar for is really more important than most people realize. If you are eating one for energy, it should have more carbohydrates than a low-carb bar will...

PowerBar-I'm No Longer a Nutrition Bar Virgin

by chrisceb Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Aug 29 '01
Pros: Was reasonably priced
Cons: tasted like vitamins, too chewy and not enough peanutty flavor...the list goes on
I can’t tell you how many Epinion reviews I’ve read on energy bars. Who knows, I’ve quite possibly read all of them. Some of the members of epinions that I read frequently have even made it their life goal to try every energy bar on the market and...

Pros: None!

Since this is the end of the year, I decided that I needed to get into a healthy routine. I went to my local Walmart's and purchased the Powerbar Performance Energy Bar! My husband Randy wanted me to get some energy bars since he had been reading about...

Good source of nutrients

by stacyintx , Aug 08 '00
Pros: Easy to find, variety of flavors
Cons: Not the best
I originally tried this product because I ran out of my usual protein/energy bar, and these are easily accessible at any grocery store.

I have tried the malt nut, oatmeal raisin and the chocolate. I think my favorite is the oatmeal raisin.

They call this hard bitter brownie thing edible?

by mbmattson Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Aug 31 '00
Pros: Packed with nutrients your body loses
Cons: Tastes awful, high price, high calories.. I could go on.
I continue on my quest for delicious and nutritious snack
bars. I have been focusing on diet snack bars, such as Slim
Fast and Jenny Craig, but I decided to try some Power Bars.
They are in a different league since they are used more...

How Nutritious ARE Maggots?

by Najusa , Jun 22 '00
Pros: Nutritious
Cons: Questionable cleanliness in manufacturing
When I was pregnant with my daughter, I was following a high-protein diet. To ensure that I got the protein I needed and also to deal with the immense hunger I would experience without much warning before-hand, I started buying these bars. It was very...

Chocolatey, Chewy, and Icky

by Ankhesenamun , Feb 20 '02
Pros: Variety of Flavors.
Cons: Tastes like chocolate mixed with crushed vitamins! Hard to chew and very expensive.
Hi again everyone!

Today I decided to try out my first Power Bar Performance bar because I had heard good things about them from several sources. For the moment I have to take a supplement bar every day due to illness. Alright!...

Considering a PowerBar? I hope you have a PowerJaw!

by poseidon Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Jun 22 '00
Pros: it does work
Cons: not as good as a Clif Bar
I’m a pretty active guy. While many of you may believe I spend endless hours at my computer, hammering out articles for Epinions and spending the rest of my day reading and rating, that’s simply not the case. I actually spend very little time in front...

Power Bars are great if you use them properly

by thisisatest22 , Sep 20 '02
Pros: a lot of calories for the $$
Cons: melt easily; get rock hard easily
I started buying power bars about 1.5 years ago for use on longer mountain hikes. They looked like a good source of calories for source endeavors. The taste is an acquired one, but it is not terrible - look for apple-cinammon, peanut butter,...

Blah! People Like This?

by agklocke , Aug 31 '00
Pros: None
Cons: Taste, No energy, more
I was browsing through my local department store and happened to run right into a stand of Power Bars (literally). As I scooped up the mess I made, I took notice of what these were. "Hmmm ..." I thought, "I could use more energy since...

Protein - yes, but too much sweetness?

by djork , Feb 02 '04
Pros: tasty - may cause cravings for more - good on the go
Cons: too sweet, high glycemic index
I was first introduced to the Power Bar 3 years back, hiking up a mountain at about 10,000 ft level. Those things surely tasted great up there. Now, no longer having to climb mountains, I take them with me on long trips where I know I don't want to buy ...

by sweetcece Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Nov 24 '00
Pros: The Bars I Had Were Free
Cons: I Wish I Had NEVER Tried One of these Bars, They are HORRIBLE!
My boss and I were at a conference a couple of months ago and during one of the seminars there was a refreshment area during a break. On the table they had absolutely everything imaginable, and one of the items that was on the table were two kinds of...

Cons: Sticky texture, relatively poor taste, some flavors really bad!
Introduction
This is part of my ongoing analysis of the protein/energy bars out on the market. As part of my attempt to maintain my “girlish figure” <GRIN> I workout 3-5 times a week, and try to eat in a relatively healthy manner....

I'm Not a Jock, But I Can Chase My Kids Faster!

by shanna Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jun 22 '00
Pros: heathy, nutrious, convenient
Cons: pricey, some flavors are yuk!
I have been eating Power Bars for about 5 years now.... I don't do it because I'm a jock or even slightly athletic, I eat them because they taste good, give me the feeling of a little extra energy maybe, and are better for me than peanut butter...

POWER BAR : CARDBOARD CARBOHYDRATES

by braggio Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jun 17 '00
Pros: Provides fuel
Cons: An acquired taste
My husband and I are avid cyclists. In our early days of riding century tours (100 mile rides) we were consumed with carbo loading. We spent a lot of time researching how to get the most "bang" for our buck.

On one of our rides...
