Haven't tried them. What is the texture like? I'm tired of the quest bar type texture.
Admin The texture is similar to that of a candy bar.
AntM Reviews Grenade Carb Killa
Profile - 210 cals, 8g fat, 20g carbs (7g fiber, 1g sugar, 11g sugar alcohol), 23g protein
These are in somewhere in between the macros of a lot of the main stream protein bars out there now. By that I mean macros are similar, but these re somewhere in the middle in terms of the fiber amount. The only thing that may bother some people is the amount of sugar alcohol. Personally, that does not bother me, but I know some do get bloating or GI distress from sugar alcohols.
Price - Just under $2.50 a bar. A touch more than a lot of the bars out there, but it is different than a lot of the bars out there, see below.
Texture/consistency - The higher count calorie bars seem to have a great consistency and texture. They are not monotone and usually have different layers to them. On the other hand, lower calorie options are usually just a bland, chewy texture. I would consider these bars low calorie options. However, they have the texture that higher calorie bars have. As you can see from the picture, there are bumps on the top of the bar. These provided a nice crunch. There also seemed to be a wafer layer and a caramel layer as too. The caramel layer provided a little chew, just like a caramel candy bar. I would say the texture was very close to a Twix bar, just a touch more chewy.
Taste - Caramel Chaos was the flavor. It was a beautiful blend of chocolate and caramel. The caramel stood out more than the chocolate which is fine by me since I'm not a big chocolate guy. It was very similar to a Twix bar in taste also.
Overall - For me, this is a perfect bar. It is very macro friendly, provides some fiber and a good amount of protein. The texture is amazing, it is just like a candy bar and it tastes like a candy bar as well. Yes, the price is a tad higher than similar options, but I would personally spend a little more to get that has some texture to it. For example, if I had the choice between this bar and another bar that tasted the exact same, but had the texture of a Quest Bar or Mission 1 bar, I would pay a little more for the Carb Killa Bar. It is much more enjoyable to eat and tastes fantastic.10/10
