PowerBar Protein Plus -a good after workout choice.

by jo.com Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 10, Apr 02 '02
Pros: Great ingredients for the most part. Not horrible tasting.
Cons: A lot of sugar. Not delicious tasting.
I have reviewed many bars at this point including the traditional PowerBar. It is quite difficult to compare them because many truly are made for different reasons. Some supply more carbohydrates to be eaten after a workout or, in my case during a...

Another nutritional bar...Power Bar Protein Plus

by kld718, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Sep 15 '02
Pros: low carbs, no cholesterol, high protein
Cons: taste, sugar
I have tried a lot of nutritional bars lately even though I have heard a lot about the taste of some of them. But I like to try things myself and have been utterly disappointed with the taste of most bars...except for that of the

Awash in mediocrity - PowerBar Protein Plus

by driver4t5 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Aug 31 '00
Pros: Decent taste, relatively nongritty texture, cheaper, high in vitamins and minerals
Cons: Less protein than competition, high in carbs - especially sugar
Wile E. Coyote enjoyed better success chasing the Road Runner than I have had chasing protein bars. My ongoing saga with finding good-tasting, high quality nutrient filled protein bars continues to have me galavant from health food store to health food...

Protein--Not To Be Mistaken For Energy ~~ Power Bar Protein Plus

by loves2run Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Aug 18 '00
Pros: taste
Cons: very full feeling
Since Epinions.com added the Sports Nutrition category, I have taken it upon myself to try some of the Energy and Protein Bars they have listed to be reviewed. It has been enlightening to say the least. I was always an original PowerBar™ gal, being...

Protein plus pleasant taste

by GwenK , Aug 12 '00
Pros: Good taste; high protein; good vitamin & mineral supplement
Cons: High caloric content; lower carbs than some bars
Forget the Atkins Diet Advantage Bar. If you're looking for a high protein bar that doesn't make you gag, try the Power Bar Protein Plus.

I got 12 bars at www.netrition.com for just $21.95 not including shipping. The bars come in three...

Protein Plus = A Lot of Trips to the Men's Room

by hwz1 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Jun 26 '00
Pros: Nutritional, added protein for quicker development
Cons: Taste is horrible, texture is worse, runs right through you
I tried the Protein Plus bar (along with many others) when I first joined a gym a few years ago. The instructor persuaded me to believe that in order to maximize the effect of your work out that you should eat something that also enhances your diet and...

Solid post workout food for the meathead in all of us

by najdorf , May 04 '01
Pros: Lots of protein, effective post-workout food, tastes alright
Cons: I've tasted better things, expensive, not a good source of energy
I first tried a Power Bar Protein Plus bar when I couldn't find a Clif Bar (my absolute favorite; see my review), and it's the only other nutritional bar I'm using currently. It serves a slightly different function from a Clif Bar; while a Clif Bar is...

Power Bar Protein Plus Is Exactly That

by neomartin , Aug 21 '01
Pros: 100% of a number of nutrients; 24 grams of protein
Cons: Taking large bites can lead to facial spasms
PowerBar® ProteinPlus™ holds up well months after purchase.

That may sound like a sick statement, but the expiration date points to 2002. At the time I bought one Vanilla Yogurt flavored bar, I had about 18 months of shelf life left....

Thumbs up for Power Bar Protein Plus!

by skyem , Nov 24 '02
Pros: Taste Lot of protein per bar
Cons: None I can think of...
Well, as I can barely afford a huge 10-pound jug of protein powder, I chose the slightly less painful approach of buying a handful of bars while at the grocery store. I know there is no real savings there but it surely seems easier.

Anyhow, I...

by lizz , Jun 12 '01
Pros: High Protein, High Vitamin/Mineral Content, O.K. Flavor

Pros: taste, 24g protein and 17 vitamins and minerals
Cons: none
I have tried many protein bars. Most have a taste that makes you gag and sit in your stomach like a brick. The Protein Plus from Power Bar is much different. It contains 24g of protein. They have many flavors, all I have tried taste great. My...

Worth A Try

by Larissa601 , Jul 14 '00
Pros: Good Taste
Cons: Sore Jaw from Chewing
I first bought the Protein Plus Power Bar before leaving work since I was heading straight to the gym. I am a chocolate fan, so I decided to try the Fudge Brownie bar.

The bar was pretty tasty. The flavoring was excellent. And, the...

It's Good

by bigdogg37 , Aug 07 '00
Pros: Fair amount of protein
Cons: too much sugar
Protein Plus bars are a good source of protein considering the cost. There are lots of protein bars out on the market going for as much as $3.00 a bar. With not much more protein and not much of a better taste.
People need to realize that a...

Vanilla Yogurt Flavor is Best

by rwatts1 , Sep 20 '00
Pros: Moister than other protein bars
Cons: not cheap
Of all the protein bars I have tasted, the Vanilla Yogurt flavor of Protein Plus is my personal favorite. Keep in mind that as far as taste goes, none of the protein bars on the market will rival a Snickers or Hershey bar, but that is not what they are...
