General Thoughts

This is your run-of-the-mill gas station brand. Some flavors are very unique - I love their Maple Glaze Donut - and the macros are solid, but not perfect. When they hit, they hit, but when they miss, they also really miss. They use Maltitol as their sweetner of choice, which isn't ideal if you care about glycemic load, and their sugar alcohols have upset my stomach in the past. For the price, I can't usually justify them, but they're a nice alternative to Quest every now and again.

Price

These are pretty average, but I find they tend to go on sale slightly more than quest. Expect $1.5-2 per bar, with occasional sales of closer to $1/bar. 11/15.

Fullness Factor

These are 60g and big, but a little low in fiber. Macros are good. 12/15.

Flavors

Peanut Butter Pie





  • Nutrition: Solid at 20P/220Cals. Low in sugar, but high-ish in saturated fat (5g). High in fiber (8g). Some may be concerned by Maltitol as their sweetener of choice. 27/35.
  • Taste: The peanut butter taste was too mild for me. Microwaving made it worse, not better. 28/35.
  • Overall: 78

Birthday Cake




  • Nutrition:  Same macros (20P/220Cals), but higher in saturated fat (6g) and lower in fiber (3g). 28/35.
  • Taste:  Brilliant. It's no wonder this is what they're known for. Better when slightly warmed. 30/35.
  • Overall: 81

Maple Glazed Donut




  • Nutrition:  Identical to the above, but with 10 extra calories (20P/230Cals). 27/35.
  • Taste: Again, phenomenal. Such a unique flavor too. It honest to god tastes like a maple donut. 31/35.
  • Overall: 81


Fruity Cereal



  • Nutrition:  Identical to birthday cake (20P/220Cals), except much higher fiber (9g) and slightly lower saturated fat (4.5g). 29/35.
  • Taste: I know what they were going for, but it just didn't do it for me. The taste fell flat. Somehow it wasn't powerful enough - it just tasted sweet and artificial with hints of fruity cereal. 25/35.
  • Overall: 77

S'Mores



  • Nutrition: Impressive 20P/210Cals, high in fiber (8g), but high in saturated fat (5g). 30/35.
  • Taste: This is delicious, but nothing to write home about. It is very good, don't get me wrong, it just doesn't taste the most like S'mores. 26/35.
  • Overall: 79

Pumpkin Pie





  • Nutrition: :  Identical to birthday cake (20P/220Cals), except higher fiber (8g). 29/35.
  • Taste: They knocked this out of the park. Slightly microwaved, it's divine. Somehow, it's absolutely nothing like the peanut butter pie. 31/35.
  • Overall: 83

Rocky Road







  • Nutrition: :  Same as the S'mores (20P/210Cals), except lower in saturated fat. 30/35.
  • Taste: This just sucked. Especially microwaved. I can't say it's bad, but I can't recommend it. 22/35.
  • Overall: 75

Peanut Butter Jelly







  • Nutrition: : 20P/220Cals, moderate fiber (6g), moderate saturated fat (4g). 28/35.
  • Taste: I see what they were going for, but it didn't do it for me nearly like FitCrunch did. Microwaving it nulled the flavor. Overall, it was a noble effort, but 25/35.
  • Overall: 76

Coffee Shop Vanilla Latte









  • Nutrition: : Birthday Cake (20P/220Cals), but with one gram less fat. 28/35.
  • Taste: This was really really pleasant. They had the perfect amount of vanilla, and the coffee really shinned through. Not exceptional, but definitely outperformed my expectations. 28/35.
  • Overall: 79

Almond Bliss


  • Nutrition: : This is a higher calorie one (20P/240Cals), but its mostly from healthy fats, which is good I guess. 27/35.
  • Taste: Solid. The real almond were a nice touch, it was just honestly nothing special. 28/35.
  • Overall: 78

Cookie Dough


  • Nutrition: : Same as birthday cake. 28/35.
  • Taste: Really artificial, and honestly not much else to say. Cannot really recommend. 21/35.
  • Overall: 72

Peanut Butter Cup




  • Nutrition: : Basically Birthday Cake (20P/220Cals). 28/35.
  • Taste: Surprisingly much better than Peanut Butter Pie. 29/35.
  • Overall: 80
