Review:
Blech. This Pure Protein bar was pure disgusting. It was pretty hard to finish actually. The bar tried for that candy bar taste and totally failed. It really didn’t taste like peanut butter or chocolate or anything recognizable as food. It’s the kind of bar that your mouth asks you to stop eating and rejects as not being edible matter. The aftertaste is funky and burns on your tongue and it makes your stomach feel funky. It also has very little high quality protein and is packed with hydrolyzed collagen which is a crap protein made from boiling the tendons and ligaments of animals. Yuck.
Pros: Keeps you satisfied, low in sugar
Cons: Gross taste, low quality ingredients

I, alternatively, looved these bars. Cheaper than most bars, but packed with a peanut butter taste worth going back to over and over. Hearty things too; it’s my one and only bar.
