Taste Test and Review
Milk and Cookies
- Texture and Flavor: The Milk and Cookies bar has a light vanilla flavor with a hint of a white coating. It's not overly sweet but pleasant enough. The protein taste is minimal and not overpowering.
- Overall Impression: For 210 calories, this bar is satisfying and enjoyable. It feels like you're eating something substantial, which is a plus over protein drinks that can leave you feeling unsatisfied.
Caramel Peanut
- Texture and Flavor: The Caramel Peanut bar has a maple nut flavor rather than a strong caramel taste. It contains actual peanuts, adding to the texture. The maple flavor effectively masks the protein taste.
- Overall Impression: This bar is a favorite due to its unique maple nut flavor. However, it might not meet the expectations of those looking for a pronounced caramel taste. It's a good option for a different flavor profile.
Cinnamon Twist
- Texture and Flavor: The Cinnamon Twist bar has a strong cinnamon flavor reminiscent of a coffee cake. The sweetness balances the cinnamon well, making it a delightful choice.
- Overall Impression: This bar is a standout for its bold cinnamon taste. It’s comparable to enjoying a slice of coffee cake without the guilt. It's highly recommended for cinnamon lovers.
Final Thoughts
After trying all three flavors, our preferences vary. Kevin prefers the Cinnamon Twist, followed by Milk and Cookies, and then Caramel Peanut. I favor the Caramel Peanut, followed by Cinnamon Twist, and lastly Milk and Cookies. Despite our differences, we both agree that all three bars are excellent choices with minimal protein aftertaste and good texture.
We encourage you to try these bars and let us know your favorite flavor. If you’ve come across any limited edition flavors or other varieties, share your experiences in the comments. Thanks for watching, and stay tuned for more reviews.
