Chocolate Coconut High Protein Bar (Nut and Gluten Free)
Everybar I eat is just a delight! They taste so good I feel like they should be bad for me. So happy to add these to my routine.
I didn't really like this flavour
Just tried the coconut chocolate bar and love this one!
Delicious bars! Super for a snack on the go. Chocolate coconut is my favourite!
All mine!!
Wow! These are seriously yummy - I'd never have guessed these were a 'healthy' snack - far from it. They taste like a choclately treaty rice crispie cake - all chewy and moist and delicious.
Yet this is all natural, high protein, and Veggie friendly.
My only problem is only having one!
It really does fill you up nicely and gives a good, long lasting energy boost.
Perfect.
Chocolicious goodness!
Im sure that many of us have gone down that path of thinking that a high protein bar will give us the edge when training! I cant blame any of us, as this is exactly what these protein bars are made for!
Ok, you know what they say about first impressions! They count, like calories! And the get buzzing bars (aptly names by the way) do justice to the saying!
As soon as I opened one, I had the familiar feeling of heres another loosely held together bar that promises to do something for you. Yes, its nothing exquisite to look at and god forbid you place it on a table in another way than horizontally, youll start looking for it as it will start to slowly dissolve into tiny pieces. I get the feeling the manufacturers did not want to add extra sugar in the form of a binding agent to make sure everything is tightly held together!
Notwithstanding that, I then had my first bite! Now, ordinarily one should not get flashbacks of something really familiar and warm to them! But I did! And I was racking my brain trying to think what that might have been; it was the familiar flavour of Bounty! The coconut/chocolate combination is spot on and it does really make you feel like youre eating a sweet!
Does it work? Well, lets just say I intentionally had this for breakfast at around 8:30am and I worked through the whole morning without thinking about snacking once! I did have lots of water with the bar and after the bar, as its sticky and you want to ensure that it does not stick to your teeth!
Overall, Im certain that there will be many out there that will try this (or indeed any other bar) for their workouts! Id just say, try this one and feel like youre having a cheeky Bounty before a workout! After all, youve earned it!
Very Chewy and Gooey
This is definitely one of those bars you'll either love or loath and one where I would recommend that the bar be kept in a refrigerator in order for it to maintain it's structural integrity. Initially when I opened the packaging on the bar it was a bit of a gooey mess, which was just held together by the thin slivers of (?) coconut across the top - the outer containing the bars had been kept at room temperature (around 20c) since they'd arrived, so subsequently I chilled them out in the fridge after eating the first bar, which helped keep them firmer. The consistency I can only describe as similar to a rice krispie bar only with finer/smaller grains. As for the taste itself it's not unpleasant, just a bit nondescript - there's an aftertaste of chocolate which is there, but not very strong given they're using dark chocolate and I couldn't taste the coconut at all at first although it did eventually break through; again though, not a very strong flavour. The bars are incredibly chewy whether you've refrigerated them or are eating them at room temp so your jaw will get a very solid workout if nothing else. All the metrics in regard to fibre, protein and carbs are in line with a lot of other bars on the market, so in the end it really comes down to taste and whether you enjoy gooey, chewable bars.
Much better than the average bar!
These are r e a l l y good! I wanted to perhaps write something more erudite, but theyre really good just about sums them up. Not only do they make you feel full and ready to work, but they taste good too. Some bars Ive tried seem to taste artificial, sythetic and normally really sweet, but thanks to the all natural ingredients these taste pretty good, with a strong hit of cocoa and a subtle hint of coconut.
They fill a BIG hole, in the sense that if you eat them when youre not active you can really feel it on your stomach. I can eat one as a substitute for breakfast and still be full, but theyre best when used to top up during the day. The only issue is they can leave you feeling a bit heavy (you know, like when you eat a big meal?) so you really do have to work them off, but then thats exactly what theyre designed for!
A great bar, good flavour, natural and a great fuel provider!
I could become addicted to these bars.
I could become addicted to these bars. Very very tasty indeed. My thing. I'm not sure about the benefits of these during training, as I am fairly idle, sports-wise, but I do know what I like the taste of. They are a reasonable size and fill me up nicely. I have only eaten two on the trot once. A good coconut taste and a bit sticky, syrupy, with a subtle taste of cocoa in there. As for giving me energy, the contents certainly point to it working nicely.
I'm not sure where the slightly ridiculous claim that "getbuzzing is more than just a product, it's a mentality, an outlook on life" comes from, but they are very filling, can be more-ish and I really like them.
Only 9 Grams of Sugar.
For a bar with only 9 grams of sugar they taste sweet and chocolaty not at all like most protein bars I've had. I would recommend them.
A Real Treat!
These are the tastiest protein bars I have ever eaten. They are crumbly and light and contain real coconut shavings and chunks of chocolate. I now use them as a treat after the gym.
