Pure Protein Bars Chocolate Variety Pack (18 Count) - High Protein Snacks for Weight Loss, Muscle Recovery & On-the-Go Energy | Gym, Work, Hiking & Travel Nutrition

I wrote a review last week about the chocolate peanut butter version of Pure Protein's bars. I will try not to duplicate that entire review here, but keep in mind that the chocolate peanut butter flavor is one of three different flavors that is included in this variety pack.Bottom line on this product is that it is the most inexpensive way I have found as of yet on an extremely high quality protein bar that it not loaded with sugars, carbohydrates or a bunch of scary sounding chemicals. Of the three in the variety pack, the chocolate peanut butter is still my favorite. The other two products taste good as well.Just take a look at the label. The chocolate peanut butter bars have 20g of protein with only 16g of Carbohydrates and around 2g of sugars. If you happen to be a diabetic (like me) these bars are like a dream snack come through. These bars let you satisfy your sweet tooth while still staying completely within your diabetic diet. I have never had my blood sugar spike after eating these. Even after I was starving and ate two in a row there are no spikes and I am still well within my allotment of sugars and carbs for the day.Besides the taste and the high quality proteins that these bars contain, this Variety Pack also has the lowest cost-per-bar you can find under the Pure Protein brand. Why this is the case, I don't know. I'm just happy to have found this "loophole" in their pricing. I often work 8 hour shifts where I am not allowed more than a single 30 minute break. These bars are perfect for situations like mine where you need to eat something, but don't have much time, money or make a big mess. One of these gets me though an 8 hour shift with a sustained release of energy and glucose.I have used quite a few Pure Protein products over the years. I know them mostly from their protein shakes. I've always had good results with their products and this one is definitely their best "invention" yet. One minor downside, which is no fault of the manufacturer at all... If you get these as part of a Subscribe and Save subscription, make sure that the other items you subscribe to aren't heavy enough to crust the boxes that these bars come in. I made the mistake of having my bars shipped with a 30lb bag of cat litter. Needless to say, the cat litter "won" that battle!I can not recommend this product highly enough. As a diabetic, especially, it is very hard to find a mess-free, compact and inexpensive snack that will not spike your blood sugars or ruin your diet. These bars are exactly what I was looking for and will be re-ordering them indefinitely.
