 Near the top of the heap of non-meltable (car-friendly!) energy bars... September 14, 2005

This is one of my favorite "fall back" flavors of protein bar, among all brands. Why?
1. They don't melt. I can leave one in my car for quick and efficient calories after a workout.
2. Nice chocolate fix. If you eat many energy bars, you know that if the flavor includes the word "brownie" that its really not going to taste like a brownie, it will approximate the flavor as best as it can. Fortunately for Balance, their Almond Brownie flavor actually does pretty well in that regard. It is dense and fudge-like in its consistency with small almond chunks. You could let your mind wander for a minute and possibly think that you are eating a heavy brownie.
The ingredients are not great, what with the sugar and artificial junk that's in it, but I don't eat them every day and neither should most people. They really are a candy bar with protein and vitamins, not a substitute for real food.
For reference, my other favorite protein bar varieties in the non-melty category are: Luna Toasted Nuts & Cranberry, Luna Sesame Raisin (now discontinued), Clif Mojo (both varieties, all natural which is nice), ProMax Oatrageous Chocolate Chip PB flavor (this one is all natural and pretty tasty).

 Cheap Sugar & Palm Kernal Oil: Not a Health Bar August 6, 2004

This is pretty much a candy bar in healthy packaging. Check out the incredients: High Fructose Corn Syrup is the first ingredient and Palm Kernal Oil follows close behind. Go for the Clif Bar. It actually has 70% organic ingredients.

These are great. I have eaten them for several years. Sometimes for a quick breakfast or for a snack in between meals. Now I am trying to lose a few pounds and I find them to be a great snack to have when you want something a little sweet. They really curb your appetite. They are good. The honey yogurt is my all time favorite!

The first time I tried a bar I found that it tasted like a chalky, dry peanut butter cup. They kind of grew on me after that but the recommended glass of water is mandatory! Calorie and fat wise they are too high for me to eat regularly. They also have no fiber at all. Compared to other similar bars, they aren't as tasty as some and really stick in your throat. If you're a major peanut butter fan you might like them.
