Product Review: PowerBar Clean Whey Protein Bars

written by runnergirl training

PowerBar has created new Clean Whey Protein Bars. They have a variety delicious assortment of flavors, all with high quality ingredients. See below!

They have 3 flavors you will crave from fruit to sweet-tooth favorites including Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Cookies and Cream & White Fudge Raspberry.

PowerBars are great to provide portable nutrition. They are perfect for before or after a run, gym workout, hiking, cycling running errands or just a snack at work. I really like how they taste compared to lots of other bars I've tried over the years. They are flavorful and not gritty or pasty.

Some of the amazing factors about PowerBar Clean Whey Bars:

Low calorie

Low sugar

No artificial colors

No artificial sweeteners 

No artificial flavors

Milk protein isolate

It's important to eat high quality protein to assist in recovering from workouts & everyday life. The whey protein used is slowly digested and absorbed into your system. That helps you feel full longer and not have blood sugar and energy spikes & crashes like from a simple carbohydrate snack. PowerBar Clean Whey Protein Bars make elect pre and post race snacks! They are easily packed to the gym or the office!

I found the PowerBar Clean Whey Protein Bars to be easily digestible, taste really great & give me the energy I needed to get through workouts or a long day. I closely monitor everything I eat since I have IBS and am on a low FODMAP diet to avoid feeding bad gut bacteria. They do contain lactose (anything more than 1% lactose isn't low FODMAP) & inulin (a fiber that's classified as a fructan). To avoid IBS problems, I ate the bars in small amounts throughout 2 days per bar. This prevented any GI problems, but every body is different so be mindful if you have food sensitivities.

Pro:

Tastes great

No artificial sweeteners, colors or flavors

Portable nutrition

Cons:

Only con I can think of is if you have food sensitivities to consume it in small qualities to avoid being affected (stomach/GI) by the sugar alcohols or inulin.
