The simple "real food" ingredient
lists on this nutritious snack food brand are a truly welcome sight named RxBar Protein Bar. We found the flavors
to be pleasant and true to title, loved that they didn't use any added sugars /
sweeteners, and thought that each weighty RxBar
Protein Bar was quite filling
without packing in unwanted calories. But the taste plus texture did become a
little thick and unctuous at times, which I find can happen with egg white
powder.
Though relatively hefty, each flavor contains
just 6 or 7 ingredients that are almost too easy to read: dates, egg whites,
almonds, figs, and dried fruit, nut butter, coffee or chocolate – depending on
the flavor.
Each RxBar Protein Bar houses the equivalent
of 3 egg whites, 1/2 fig, 2 dates, and 8 almonds or peanuts. We split one of
each flavor to taste the whole range:
Coconut Chocolate – Pleasant mellow cacao
flavor that isn’t too sweet and has just subtle coconut notes. It’s very chewy,
almost like a Tootsie Roll vibe!
Chocolate Sea Salt – Still on the chewy side
but much softer than the Coconut Chocolate (or any of the flavors) with a touch
more sweetness and some serious intensity.
Mint Chocolate – Perhaps my favorite flavor,
this one was just a touch softer than the cacao flavors, but not as tender as
the Chocolate Sea Salt. Generous dots of mint throughout added sweet interest.
Coffee Chocolate – By the name I was
expecting more of a mocha taste, but my taste buds said straight up coffee.
This herbal tea lover wasn’t a fan, but if you love the bean, give it a go.
It’s a very chewy bar, like the Coconut Chocolate.
Overall, I loved the ingredient list of RxBar Protein Bar, much like ones I
make at home, and found the flavors to be pleasant and not too sweet. I also
thought these RxBar Protein Bars were
a good nutritional value, providing both energy and satiety.
