AntM Reviews Snap Nutrition Ooh Snap! Protein Crispy Bar[/size]
Texture/consistency
Yes, as the name claims, this is a crispy bar and a very crispy one at that. It is EXACTLY like a Rice Krispie Treat bar. It is light and air like one with an incredible crunch in every bite.
Taste
This was Chocolate Peanut. I did not get the peanut at all, but I did get the chocolate. What I enjoyed most was that the chocolate was not overbearing. I am not the biggest chocolate fan and prefer dark chocolate to milk. This had a subtle and natural milk chocolate taste to it. The label does say it contains peanut and peanut butter, but I did not get that at all.
Profile
This is a lower calorie bar that is moderate in fat, moderate/low in carbs and has a moderate protein content. I like it because it is great for anyone, a low carb person, low fat, etc. One may complain because the first type of protein listed is soy protein isolate. However, this does not bother my=e since there are other sources of protein and it is probably not all that much soy in total. I would like to see it eliminated though.
Price
About $14 for a box of 7. Roughly $2/bar. A little on the higher side for something that uses soy protein, is small (44 grams) and given the overall protein content (15g/bar).
Bottom Line
If you're in the market for something on the go, not a "protein" or "meal replacement" bar, but rather a bar to keep at work, in the car or to add to a meal, I would definitely suggest this. It will not fill you up, but is a great addition to a full meal or even a small something between meals. I could even see this being pre workout fuel since they do not fill you up a ton.
I really enjoyed this flavor despite not getting any peanut or peanut butter flavor. If that had come through, the taste would be perfect. If it was just labeled as chocolate, it would be perfect as well. However, having the word peanut in the name implies there should be some peanut flavoring, which I did not experience.
The profile is very friendly, but I would like to see soy protein isolate go. I am not against soy protein once in a whole, but would prefer better protein sources. Lastly, the price is in line with most other brands, $2/bar, but keep in mind those bars are larger and provide more protein and all around better protein sources.
All in all, this is a great bar and is versatile. I will pick up a box of the vanilla marshmallow. How I would fix this bar is drop the price OR use a different protein source, other than soy and infuse more peanut or peanut butter flavoring into the bar.
