I admit it… while I hate eating anything that isn’t
AMAZING. Sometimes I don’t have time to
cook, prepare or eat at a nice place. So I grab fast food (don’t judge) or
prepackaged things like Lunchables (WHAT???? I typed no judging). Therefore, today when I was running late to
work, I grabbed a bar to tide me over till lunch.
The problem is I didn’t grab my normal Special K bars or
Fiber1 bars. Things that taste ok even
good depending on the flavor. But at
least the bars I have had are just not as good as a nice hot home cooked
breakfast. Today, I grabbed one of my
husband’s(Still weird) bars, a Pure Protein bar.
Well, my husband is on a workout kick. He is all into building muscle and strength
which he tells me means increasing his protein intake a TON. I don’t mind this because protein is not too
hard to increase for dinners or meals I cook. Though for his day to day lunches
and snacks, I got protein bars and protein powder. I just got the bars that were on sale that
had the most protein. My husband unlike
me will eat ANYTHING regardless of taste or really anything. Think like Mikey! So I grab a pure protein strawberry shortcake
bar. It has 19 grams of protein and less
then 200 calories. So in theory the
perfect breakfast/mid-morning snack.
NEVER AGAIN.
LIKE EVER
These taste like cough syrup mixed with card board which is
SIGNIFICANTLY worse than most bars that are so bland and flavorless. Here
is a picture so you may avoid this FLAVOR at ALL cost!
Sorry, husband you are stuck eating ALL of
the Strawberry Short Cake Flavor by yourself.
And I am going back to my less protein filled bars.
If you have any high protein good tasting bar or snack
options, please comment…..
PS-Yes, the Taylor Swift Song is totally stuck in my head hence the blog name!
Special K makes good protein bars, but (as a post-workout recovery supplement), I was told by our strength & conditioning staff that good ol' chocolate milk is just as good as anything!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I am absolutely obsessed with Taylor's new song! Miss you much!

I love the Special K bars! They are so good! oh, I never thought of chocolate milk. I sometimes do peanut butter in a crunch.
DeleteI am so glad I am not the only one play Taylor on repeat.
Miss you too,

Clif and Luna bars are really good and have a pretty good amount of protein. I also like Zone Perfect mint chocolate.
ReplyDeleteI love Cliff bar but I kinda over did them by getting a big box at costco. What flavor Luna bars do you recommend?
DeleteMint Chocolate Sounds good, I will have to try it! thanks!!!
